T Minus 6 Days till The Maul!!

Evening readers, Your friendly neighborhood Grizz here. This post was originally going to be a treat for y'all in the form of a video battle report. Unfortunately, as soon as I began filming, my Flip Cam died. Go me.

So instead, I am going to let y'all in on my progress preparing for this year's Maul in the Mall tournament. I have been tirelessly working the past two days trying to get my beloved Space Wolves into proper form, something that has been long overdue!

We are on our way to finishing, with all but 8 models and 2 razorbacks left to paint. Everything has actually went alot faster than initially anticipated, so it seems that I will actually have a completely painted/based army in time for the tourney!

Thunderwolf Cav, ASSEMBLE!!!

Yesterday, I came home with an unopened box of Thunderwolf Cav. This evening, I present to you, my dear followers, is what they look like out of the box.

The Pack Is on the Prowl...

 The TWC kit in my opinion may be one of the best GW has produced to date. They go together great, have all kinds of interchangeable parts, and are a lot of fun to paint. The models have a crap ton of character, and are very dynamic. I am almost sad to have finished them :(


If you play wolves and haven't picked up a box of these yet, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to your FLGS and pick up a box. You won't be disappointed!


So what do we think, did The Grizz do the new kit justice, or has he failed horribly? Your comments below!

Back To Business

Ok, followers, we are back in business!! Sorry about the lag, life happened, and computers crashed and a bunch of other excuses that y'all don't care about! The important thing is that Da Deff Komp'ny is back, and will be regulary updated, at least weekly. So what has happened since our last visit? The Grizz has raised his army count to 5 with the addition of some new Grey Knight stuff. What does this mean for you guys? One more thing to listen to me blather about and post pictures about. So without further adieu, some pics of my new stuff!

Armies on Parade!!!

Purifier and My Grand Master (Don't worry, we will drill those barrels out!!)

What I have painted right now

The plan is to paint everything before I put it together, that way when I am done I will have a completely painted 2000pt army from the getgo. Keep your eyes open for updates, let me know what you think about the new painted mini's, and hopefully we'll have a video batrep in store for you next week! Stay Tuned!!!

Boss Grimgor Skulskraga, Baddest ov da Evil Sunz

So, I finally got my Finecast Ghazghkull Thraka model in, and let me tell ya, this model is EPIC! It's light, goes together like pie, paints like a dream, and looks utterly badass.What more could one ask for? So, needless to say, as soon as I got home I began painting this bad boy. I am pretty pleased with him, and I am very glad that I was able to duplicate the battle damage highlight effect that  I liked so much on my first bike. What do y'all think?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE!!!!

Just coated ol Gromgor in a devlan mud wash, to give him a more dirty look

There he is, Boss Grimgor Skulskraga, ready to lead his Evil Sunz into glorious Battle!! How did The Grizz Do?? Let us know, Down Below!!

The Grizz Goes WAAAGH!!!

A few days ago, Yours Truly was sitting in his man room surveying all of his Warhammer armies. As I looked at each army, I was reminded of all the great games, fun paint schemes, and unique conversions that each army possessed. Then, at the end of the line, were my Tyranids. I looked at the paint scheme, a striking yet difficult pain in the butt job. I then thought of all the fun games I had with them - none. I then began to wonder why I even had this army.


I didn't enjoy painting them, converting them was okay, and playing them was never an enjoyable experience, as I never had a good chance at winning. I didn't enjoy the playstyle, and I would never get them finished painted. So I decided to rid myself of the infestation and switch to a Xenos army a little more of the fungal variety. 


So Friday I picked up Codex: Orks. I have always had a fascination with the Orks. They have some of the best fluff/models/conversion abilities in the game. They play on the table just like they fight in the fluff, which to me is a big bonus. And with my buddy Pariah Stevo living 90 miles away, I don't get to play against them as often as I'd like, so now I have an excuse to indulge my inner ork. So today I began paint testing for Boss Grimgor Skulskragga's Mighty WAAAGH!!! 


I decided on the Evil Sunz Clan, more or less because "da red wuns go Fasta!!!" and I really liked the scheme. So I tested my skills on a warbike. Sorry about the phone pics, but otherwise I am pretty pleased with how it turned out, other than the white, still not completely pleased with it, but anyway without further ado, I give you my first Ork Paintjob.

So, what do we think? Awesome? Suck? Somewhere in between? Let us know in the comments below!

Abaddon Unleashed!

Abaddon may be my favorite named character in the game. He's an IC, he is tough, durable, and can be just absolutely ridiculous in the assault phase, able to go toe to toe with just about anything in the game. The problem is, his model doesn't do him justice. No, let me rephrase that - His model is absolutely terrible.


So years ago when I scored the deal of the century and payed 130 bucks on eBay for an entire Nurgle army (50+ Plague Marines!!), I decided to make my own. At that time, I was wanting to stay pure Nurgle, so I took my Typhus model and created one of my favorite retarded ideas to date - Typhusbaddon. 

Typhusbaddon - Born of Necessity, Beer, and Boredom

Yes the almighty Typhusbaddon saw many a tournament, game night, victory and ass whoopin. As my Chaos horde began to grow, however, being "pure Nurgle" began to become less important. I had already phased out my Nurglezerkers (don't ask), and Typhusbaddon's run was coming to an end. 


So I picked up a terminator lord/sorcerer kit, and ordered a Skulltaker model from which to procure a suitable weapon from which to make the mighty Drach'nyen. I have had him assembled for over a year, but just now finished painting him. So here he is, the Warmaster himself, The Colossus of Clout (The Colossus of Clout!) - no, I am not above Sandlot references - Abaddon The Despoiler!

Sorry bout the quality of the pics, the lighting is kinda suck :(


Love it? Hate it? Let us know!
