First off, I would like to state that i do remember the time i stated i would never drive down to Cali and then back to Las Vegas in the same day…

With that said…. SHONEN VEGAS in conjunction with KHAMOMEAL TEA COSPLAY decided that shit i said 5 years ago no longer apply and i present to you our (very poorly documented) one day run to the LA fabric district and Little Tokyo.  All in all it was a good time, and really i can’t remember why i made that resolution in the first place.  Or as Kham seemed to describe it… FUCK YEAH

FUCK YEAH SEAKING Continue reading “One Day LA Run” »

Ork first 500

I’ve been posting quite a bit lately about the first 500 points of the Alpha Legion army.  Models were primed and some fun games played… But who have i been playing you ask?

Enter Anime-X (who has yet to make a post here) and the first 500 points of his Ork Army

The idea is quite simple, Ork Mek with Kustom Force Field, Kan wall, Dread, and a big honking piles of boyz.  The Kustom Force Field gives everyone a save, and the Kan wall gives everyone behind it a cover save…. not that a Big Honking Pile of boyz needs a cover save against 5 man squads, but as he expands the idea will be pretty sound.

This is the second 40k army that we will be keeping an eye on here at Shonen Vegas, hopefully with more to come.  I’ve heard stories being told of a Tau list, as well as a Ragnar led Space Wolf army… and who knows. i might even find someone crazy enough to paint my 4th edition designed Daemonette Army… which may actually be playable once 6th edition rolls around.

Project Alpha Legion 4 – the first 500.

I actually had this post written quite a while ago, but things have changed quite a bit.  Life happened, and as you can see, there hasn’t been any updates for quite a while.  To make up for that I’ve actually got pictures…

The first 500 points:

-Chaos Terminator Lord (still missing arms, I’m looking for something special for the lightening claws.  honestly he’s a little small though… or at least compared to Anime-X’s Ork Warboss which is based off of Gazgul… i think i just need more bits)
-1 Obliterator
-2x 5 man chaos marines one of which has a melta gun
-4 terminators, heavy flamer and power fist (yes i know there are 3 power fists modeled but that doesn’t apply until after we scale up to 1000 and 1500.  for now assume they just have the power set to low. :P )

In addition, Avatar Comics somehow got a hold of some GW special boxes and i was lucky to grab the Chaos Rhino/unit combo box.  Honestly the Space Marine tac box would have been better but that one comes with a drop pod rather than a rhino so I’ll make due.

Finally, it appears as though what started as a personal project, combined with the rumors of 6th edition, has started a bit of a GW revival.  So stay tuned for additional pics as joining me in my new army paint and build will be Anime-X with Orks, Joe of Avatar Comics with Space Wolves, with possible additional appearances of Necrons, Eldar, and who knows what else.  The only rule being that the army must have started this year as unpainted, and is getting built up to 1500 points.

oh my, this is starting to get good…

Black Rock Shooter ep.3, and something bad ass

Just wanted to let everyone know that Black Rock Shooter TV episode 3 is up on the torrents page. I know that updates have been pretty weak the last week but thats the way that life sometimes rolls. I do have some miniature updates for the Alpha Legion project but i currently lack the camera to take decent pics. Also got in a 500 pt game against anime-x’s Orcs… or orks.. or however its spelled in the grim dark… game was a draw. no pics because nothing was painted but i could do a battle report about it.

Speaking of Anime-X he did just come back from Cali from a Volks Doll meet which he could write up something about, or post pics.

Finally i’m sure people are out there in the world being bad ass… like this guy…

Oh hay, look at that… i made enough links to count this as a post… this calls for an appropriate photo…
