MIA

So i've recently realised i can't make it to BoLSCON this year.

Booo.

I'm wokring late the day before, have to be in early on the monday, its a 300 mile round trip and i've got a local tournement to help at that weekend anyway.

So unfortunatly i can't make it.

I will endeavour to get my army finished though!

I am a Dragon. Hear me Roar

Roar

Mighty Dragon. He make flames. Burn Puny marines out of cover and generally Eff stuff up.

Nearly finished this months total. Just need to finish my Apostle (which will hopefully be tonight, wife permitting). TBH he is finished above table top and over 3 colours. But i'm not quite finished with him yet.

The next week and a half I'm aiming to get the Maulerfiend  (which is in my To4G list) done as well as 4 Spawn (which aren't) for a doubles tournement soon.

Pics when I get them! The dark poor weather is making getting good ones a bit hard these days

First in the Field

ok, so today i managed to get my army together and get a practice game in with my provisional army list (a couple of proxies [BOO!] were required) anyway I thought i might just share a my views on the units i used and what my future plans might be..

Typhus- OK, this guy is a MONSTER! he seems to able to shred through most things and just shrug off all but the worst of wounds.  for my powers i rolled Plague Wind and Weapon Virus and I have got to say I am very impressed with the discipline. Memorable Moment;  rolling a 6 for his Daemon Weapn on a turn he charged meaning he had 10 attacks! brilliant! He will be staying in the list for sure.

Cultists with Mark of Nurgle- They just sat there, not doing much. pretty much a wasted 113 points!

Plague Zombies- Brilliant tar pit unit, just sit there and occasionally take a couple of models down. well worth it. the useless Cultists mentioned above will be replaced with another unit of Zombies (provisionally i will have 2 units of 21 instead of one of 28- but more on this in a few days when i present my revised army list).

Plague Marines- to quote Boris Johnson "VERY NICE" this guys are solid and are staying. The 2 units functioned perfectly and my god can Plague Marines shrug off gets hot rolls! staying in the list, maybe tweaking but not quite decided.

Heldrake- LOVELY! the Vector Strike is amazingly useful and i must say that as a unit they have a huge psychological impact. plus the crazy flamer is brilliant and clearing out entrenched units and objectives! definitely staying!

Forgefiend- A mixed result for this guy. Love the twin autocannons, they kick out sheerly staggering amounts of fire. The additional ectoplasma cannon was only used once i think in the entire game and it proceeded to vapourise a tree three feet to the right of where i wanted it! Will give it another go before dropping it though.....

Havocs- Another beautiful unit that was cut down a bit early in this game. i just couldn't pass armour saves with these guys but it wasn't there fault.


I have received quite a bit of feedback regarding the list and have some plans for the army so within the next couple of days you will get to see my revised (and somewhat final!) army list.

First Post in November

So i'm still hanging on to my job for now, but things have got worse, but people are taking it better than I expected. So continuing on!

November was never going to be great for me. Crazy busy at work, and Halo 4. So managing to get a lot of stuff done already

I have finished the other 5 marines in the squad (no picture yet though) and have largely finished my dragon. Just need to detail him. Hes magnetised in 3 pieces to make it easier to paint and transport.

I have also started base coating my Rhino

So I November I have finished the marine squad (60points) and my dragon (175pts). The Rhino is in progress (35pts) - bringing me to 270 points. So 30 to make up (under my current list -the marine squad could change in cost). That 30 points could either be my Dark Apostle or some cultists.

Have a doubles comp in Dec that i'm taking Chaos to. So might need to be what i need for that!

October - DONE

So the month of October has a week left, but I have achieved my points quota painted for the month!

Cultists - 12 Guys, 2 Guns, 1 Flamer - 65pts

Forgefiend - 175pts

Chaos Space Marines - 110pts (75 for 5, Plus 10 points VotLW, 25 point Banner)

Total -350pts.

And theres still a week to go! Started on the Aspiring Champion model for this squad, and started building the HellDrake. With a bit of free time this weekend I may also start building the Rhino

Forgefiend

Winter is a difficult time to paint in the UK. Sure you spend less time outside than usual, but the poor light and crap weather means that its hard to spray, hard to paint and hard to get good photos of my progress.

So with that in mind, we enter the season of crap photos.

I also posted some fluff yesterday for our battle and my chapter and stuff. But it was crap so deleted it quickly. Will try to tidy it up and re post it eventually

Doc Oct Mid Report

So got another week or so left in October.

Have my 3-400 points for the month drawn up;

10 Cultists - 50pts.
Forgefiend - 175pts.
5 CSM - 75pts
Total of 300 points
So i'm only just making quota this month but its been a busy and crazy month with little time to paint.

Of these 3 things, all are now built and are in various stages of painting

The Cultists for the month - Finished!

The Forgefiend - In progress!

And the CSM - All built, 2 started painting to work out colour scheme.

 So hopefully with some time over this weekend (assuming I can stay away from XCOM long enough) some more should be finished, and all done by the end of the month

In November I aim to paint my Warlord (Apostle - 105pts), the rest of the chaos marines (95pts) and my dragon (170pts) giving me my 370 points for the month. And since November is going to be dominated by Halo4 for me, keeping the model count down will help me reach the goal

In December I aim to do the Rhino (35pts), the rest of the CCW cultists (82pts), defence line and gun (100pts) and the Slaughterfiend (125pts). Giving me 342 in December. (I have lots of time off in December thanks to work).

In January i aim to buy a Battleforce box. Gving me my other squad of CSM (170pts), a unit of Bikers (100pts) and more cultists (???)

This leaves me in February to do the Obliterators, any remaingin cultists and whatever the leftover points go on.

This is only a rough plan, so may change. But hopefully its a good guide for what I intend on doing

*Insert Witty and Interesting Title Here*

So i got some free time by myself yesterday, for the first time in nearly 3 weeks

Got some photos!

My first 12 cultists (10 with CCW, 2 with guns)

My HQ's (the Apostle has since been sprayed, as has the Champion)

Some of what i've got to look forward to. Yay

I have also sprayed all my cultists and my first squad of CSM. I've also broken ground on the first of them and started his paintjob, as I want to see how it looks first.

Got my first game with the army list tomorrow night, so looking forward to seeing how well they do!

Then a tournement with my Eldar this weekend to get me into a deep 40k mood and hopefully lots of painting next week.

Until next time
