The UK 40K GT - Review and Pics Pt II

Here are some pics of my games:

First game I got mullered by a Seer Council on bikes, I could have done better I f I timed my Ghazza Nob Charge better... lost the core of them early on  and never really recovered.

Second Game - Blood Angels, I won this one, manged to contest his objective at the end. Ghazza and his Nobz made him deploy his Death company on his objective to get them off, so he never got chance to unleash his armies potential.

3rd Game - Fateweaver daemons. I have very little experiance against this army and it was kill points. A mixture of not enough experience against this army and being out combated made for a wipeout against me! boooooo ;)

Pick me game against my bro before we hit the bar! 

More of Ricky's Ad mechs...

I apologise to Brians army as the pics I took of the amazing freehand never came out! :( But still cool Khan UM army on bikes - very scary!

1st game on the sunday - BA home and away, we got a draw but traded objectives so at least we both tried!

Then two horrible losses after - I didnt take pics as I got tired!

Next batch is the army noms!

The UK40K GT - Review and Pics Pt I

Well what can I say, this is one of if not the best tournaments I have attended. Why? You ask. Was it because my list performed badly all weekend? - No. Was it the fact I finished 111th? Nope, it was the company, atmosphere and the well executed organisation.

The venue itself at Maelstrom is enough to compete with Warhammer World. It may not have as much bling, but it has a really authentic feel, great bar and excellent helpful non pushy staff. The store also opened until 1am (at least I think it was 1am) when we were turfed out!  (fair enough!)

The actual scenery is better than Warhammer World itself. Maelstrom has invested more on GW scenery than GW, and its painted with much more care. Also there's some lovely steam punk terrain that is beautifully made and painted. My only crit is they have painted and flocked the boards all exactly the same, which is very well done but it would be nice to have some variation.

I preferred the food as well - the canteen food at GW is, well, canteen food and makes 130 gamers flatulent! Buffet lunch on the sat, Lancashire hotpot for the evening meal washed down with a jam roly poly. Sunday a baked potato with cheese beans... all honest food.

I also made some great new friends as well as catching up with previous friends made on the tournament scene.

I would like to thank the organisers and staff at Maelstrom for a great weekend.

The pictures below are of the friday where my bro and me started the weekend with some games and where we made friends with Ricky Simms... and lead to some good banter for the weekend. A big up to Bryan Crew for making the trip from the USA via his wife in Geneva.

The pics are from the friday

Beer and warhammer - perfick!

Friendly game against my bro:

Richard Simms awesome Admech (Genestealer dex) army - and groin...

Would prefer to post to the UK only. Thanks.

Im still here!! - Nearly finished decorating and I can hobby splurge!

Wooo as the title, we have been busy prepping the house to put on the market so my hobby time has really been suffering!

I have decided I am sick of my Orks, Im taking a half arsed list to UK GT thats a real do or die'er. Im sick of looking at the half baked paint job I gave them and have decided although I have a huge army painted which is great, Im never going to that again. I putting everything into my painting from now on.

I also have a load of Khorne Daemons sat waiting to be used. I got deflated with them because I spent a lot of time converting and building the metal bloodcrushers only for GW to swing a suprise release of plaggy ones 6 months later - ouuuch!

A year on and I have decided to just sod it and get 9 plaggy ones - so I will soon be play testing the Daemons and building them up with the CSM for my collective Khorne army known as 'The Thirst".

Here is my daemon list, I have an option to swap out a couple of things to use a Bloodthirster and if I need 1750, I will add another squad of Blood letters....

Comments welcome, and I will be hitting the paints really soon I promise!!

More CSM Built!

OK, been a bit slow this week, we are decorating the house! :( But I managed to get this Defiler built (I still have another and debating a massive conversion mixed with the new spider model - but also debating how that will work and fit into my army).

I repositioned the leg ends to get a more dynamic pose than the standard issue one. Damn this is a nice model, and only a few more points that a dred, I prefer this!

and some more zerkers built... been really trying to make cool poses. I break and reglued the legs on this one. Sometimes I need to GS the ribbing on the legs or arms depending on pose.

Chaos Lord - Streaming banner update

Well, I really appreciated the crit and I think the streaming banners are really effective as they are adding movement to the model...


Not sure, I think I might add a couple to the Jugga...???

1750pts Tourny list

Hi

Right I have made my list. Its not out and out competitive and Im sure there are more competitive builds. But I think it will hold its own if I use it correctly.

Its more to fit with my army fluff... which I will go into at a later date, but for now all you need to know is its a fleet based Khorne army that is made up piratical traitors who want to be blessed into the the main central beacon ship. Thats why you see an element of CSM and not just Bezerkers as to be labotimised the CSM would need to granted into the beacon ship where a large but not completely World Eater force operates. I will go into more detail later along with the fleets name.
