Hello everyone. Here is the image of my battle group. I am currently working on Pain giver beast handlers, and Catapract acarii. I would also like to add that the cyclopses were the most frustrating models I have ever done. I would gladly paint every bane in my collection before getting another savage. The main frustration came from the way their arms are designed. Attachments:

Excellent progress people. I don't have a picture, but I finished up the Sentry Stone from the Mannikin unit, worked a little on one Mannikin and a wold stalker, and progressed a little on Megalith. No time to work on Baldur I'm afraid.
Also I got my pins in yesterday from PP. They are freaking awesome. I'll bring them along with me on Sunday.
Also also, I got confirmation that my Journeyman League order has shipped. I'll have plenty of Circle to paint in about a week.

Hopefully, its not too late to join the league. It took awhile to decide what to play.
1. What is your name, what should we call you, and where are you located? Hi everyone, my name is Henry and I'm located on MCAS Iwakuni.
2. A little background info? I'm in the Air Force. I've been a gamer for quite some time, mostly RPGs. Began wargaming with 2nd ed 40K. Only started Warmachine right before Mk 2.
3. What faction are you playing? I will be playing Khador, the standard battle box.
4. Why? Hopefully, this will encourage me to paint. I don't paint much. Most of my models either have no paint or are only primed. I have a paint scheme for my Khador models, just need the paint and the will to paint (league points may help here).
5. What are your goals for this Journeyman League? It will be my first Journeyman League. Have fun. Play new people. End the league with 35+ points of models painted.
Regretfully, I will not be able to make it on Sunday. I hope to make it to the next one.

If you want to get a battle box game in Henry I probably have time tomorrow at some point.

Deleted that double post for ya. torgrinn-It's absolutely early enough for you to join in man, the more the merrier. The next Fukuyama meeting will be some time in Late-July, so please keep your schedule open for either the 20th or the 27th. Post up pictures of your unpainted stuff before painting it, or at least take a picture beforehand. We will have to meet up sometime so I can get you your initial patch for the league, scorecard, and rules. twitch, keep up the good work man, those med based troopers will go a long way both in game, and for the painting challenge. As for me last night saw a bit more progress. I finished up one of the mini shrimps, along with a Mannikin and put the final touches on the Sentry Stone for the same unit. I also decided to change the paint scheme of the Druid Stoneward. Still no progress on Baldur, haha.

All right! Yesterday was our first meeting for the Official Journeyman League 2014. We had many games played at the battle box level and almost everyone got to play each other for the league. Here is where we stand so far:
Rachel: Great job painting, she kicked out quite a few models for painting points and got in a lot of games, learning that Kreoss is a mighty Warcaster. 6 games and 9 models completed.
Brad: Also did an ace job on the painting side and is learning that Skorne is quite the tricky faction, with a lot of speed buffs available to his slower heavy warbeasts. 5 games, 3 models completed.
Masukawa: Coming in late won't hold this guy back, with Gaspy1, he's using the home field to his advantage. Now if we can just get him to paint a little. 3 games, 0 models completed.
Daniel: With most of his Trollblood models painted already, this guy will really need to step up his game playing to acheive the highest rank possible, but with an undefeated streak going, he may be just fine. 5 games, 0 models completed.
Le: Although he's not started his painting yet, he's gotten in the most games so far. He's learning the great asset that Kaelyssa's gun can be, and calling it the wand of something or other. 8 games, 0 models completed.
Kaji: Although he's gotten one model painted, it didn't count, he got in plenty of games so far though and we think he's going to be a prime contender when we get into those higher points levels. 5 games, 0 models completed.
Eric: As the Event Organizer no points will count towards contention for the Champion rankings, but he's got quite a few games in and painted a couple models as well. 6 games, 2 models completed.
RANKINGS Rachel-23 points, two ranks up Brad-23 points, two ranks up Le-17 points, one rank up Daniel-14 points, one rank up Kaji-10 points, one rank up Masukawa-7 points Eric-22 points, two ranks up
Next time we get together will be on the 27th of July, giving us a full month to get more models painted and a chance for some to get a couple more games in. The game size will be increased from battle box to 15 points. Keep in mind, you don't have to keep only one list, you can change it if you'd like. The only thing that has to be consistent is the battle box contents. Good luck with your progress everyone. Paint and play or die!

Ughhh....I`m practically in last place! And ZERO painting points - How humiliating! Expect the Trolls to bounce back in the next session!
I`m enjoying learning my new caster: Hoarluk Doomshaper1...otherwise known as "Doomie1". Despite being just an old gnarly Troll dude with a walking stick, he`s got a fun list of spells and other tricky abilities. My three warbeasts have all fulfilled their rolls quite well. I think in Round 2 we will see the addition of Horgle Ironstrike, a Feralgeist, the Trollkin Champion Hero, and maybe even the Skinner!
Thanks to everyone who came up/down to play. I hope you had fun. I know I had a ball. It`s hard to be an air-conditioned gaming room with nice gaming tables for 350 yen per head! I`m looking forward to seeing everyone again next month. Trolls rule!

Fixed that for ya. Starting into the second month of the Journeyman league I've done a little more on my sticks and stones list. Megalith, stalkers, and mannikins all got some paint last night.

Another day nets additional progress. Mannikins are finished, just need to do basing and finish up the front arcs and I'll have my points for them. A little more progress on the stonage for Megalith and Stalkers as well.

Yes, Gannon...Trolls drool, when they spot some Blackclads to snack on. And now I see you`ve finished "shrimp cocktails" (Wyrds) and some toothpicks (Mannekins) for my Dire Trolls to use when they are done snacking.

My Khador forces have arrived, as slowly and surely as the Motherland's warjacks march across the battlefield. Pics below for my primed models. Battle Box Man-o-Wars Next step, painting and getting some league games in.

Hey everyone! Observe! The first Ra-ji (Rachel/Kaji) collaboration... the cinerators! I took care of the tabards and bases... armor and weapons care of Kaji. Because Menoth is always better when shared with a friend! Next up on the painting table, deliverers. Oh yes! More flamey death for the enemies of the Creator of Man!

Sometimes you gotta be bad to be good. Great job Koala. Here's my progress from this weekend. All the shrimps are done, and the Sentry Stone and Mannikins unit is complete as well. Megalith has a little GS work that needs to be done to his arm and the runes, but he's be finished after that. Then it will be the leader for the shrimps, and of course I still haven't finished Baldur yet. Attachments:
