Sorry about the delay between updates been busy of late. In the last week i've decided to stick to the Druchii, i've started painting them too which has been interesting as i'm still not sure if i like their colour scheme or not. i've just ordered a battalion box form trademe, auction finishes in like an hour and was about $50 cheaper than RRP. =) hopefully that'll arrive sometime early in the week so i can get to converting and stuff.
Had one game against Matt's shambling whores, uh i mean hordes. went pretty badly for the Druchii, they got massacared while only managing to kill some bats skeletons and a unit of ghouls. On the plus side it gave me some interesting ideas to use with my shades that i was trying out in the game. I was using army builder before and discovered that i have 1420ish points of Druchii already and with the battalion on the way i should be able to make a fairly craptastic 2k list.
Once i've got my druchii at the 2,250 needed for battle cry i'll start saving towards my samurai army, this'll be good as it gives me plenty of time to focus on painting the elves before battlecry and allows me to improve my painting skill (already better than tim's) before i start work on my weeabo fightan ninjaz.
i'm off to paint now, ciao

I see a Druchii and i want him to turn black...
Well, just a quick update this morning. I am doing the late shift tonight which gives me a few hours to do crap this morning and so once the rain stopped i managed to take out a few druchii to get some spray painting done. All off my druchii to my knowledge are undercoated, and most of the corsairs are even finished, or almost there.
Just waiting for the paint to dry, so probably can't do anything till tonight.

Well, haven't had a chance to do any painting so far however i have ben reading up on Druchii in general. So far i am tossing up between a Slaaneshi cult or a pirate theme, and to be honest am at a loss for how to decide.
So far models wise i have around 30 Corsairs, 5 dark riders, 5 coldone knights, a reaper bolt thrower, a sorcerer, a sorceress and a master on a cold one.
All up i think that's around the 1,000pt mark and while could work for either fluff i think the corsairs tip it towards the pirate theme quite heavily.
My next investment i'm thinking will be probabaly either more dark riders or some crossbowmen to fill out my shooting some more.
I would be quite interested in trying out some witch elves or black guard some time but have yet to work out how to theme them in.
I suppose the witchelves could always just be crazy berserkers (not that far fetched really).
No idea really for the black guard.
In other news the PTQ San Juan is this weekend so i will probably be quite busy for the rest of the week, still hoping to get in at least one game against Matt this week (still have to work out how to use corsairs properly) but i'll have to see how it all goes.
Hmm, either the Druchii forum is down or someone has blocked the tubes again. Either way it's a pain in the ass as i was much looking forward to doing more reading.
Also Tim, seeing as i know you actually read this you shouldn't do a brets army as you'll suck and then whine when i toast you =p

Blog highjacking commencing
Ok, well it's been awhile and i doubt anyone reads this but that's ok. I'm going to use this blog to help motivate me to finish my army in time for battlecry in feb 2011, that's 11 months.
So far i think i a have about 1k of Druchii that i can field, this needs to go up to 2,250 and needs to all be painted, etc.
My goal is to post on here 2-3 times a week, i'm hoping to use monday as a painting day and so will record how that goes. (if i get a camera will even post pics) Wednesday night wargames will be followed by a battle report of the 2-3 games we played that night as well as a small rant about what i could've done differently. Other than that i'll have to play it by ear i guess.
So, last night i played two games against Matt's VC using my Druchii. The first game i proxied my corsairs as repeater crossbow men, Matt was fine with this. my army was: 5 coldone knights, 5 dark riders, a master on coldone and 10 crossbow men. Matt was using an interesting set up with a vampire, 15 ghouls, i think 20 skeletons and 3 fell bats. the first game was a massacre in my favour. in about four turns i managed to wipe the field of his undead horrors, mostly achieved through the use of concentrated firepower and the fact that charging cavalry toasts most infantry.
The second game was a slight victory for Matt with his Vampire securing the objective on the final turn of the game. I think this game would have worked out quite differently if i had not been so over confidant with my coldones and had instead used them in tandam with my corsairs as opposed to galloping off across the table. a good lession for me though.
Also just as a note during games from now on i am intending to take notes so as to be able to give detailed reports as opposed to this post which is essentualy just jumbled points. I also hope that my blogging ability will improve with use and my posts will become more coherient over time.
I'm pretty tired at the moment so will head to bed and hopefully post an outline of the army i am aiming for at 1,000pts and perhaps even decide if i want to take Druchii or Slanneshi Woc to Battlecry.
