Wargames history - Crazyrat Edition

I started playing 'Magic the gathering' card game when I was in primary school till sec sch. Besides buying the cards frequently, I also bought a monthly magazine called 'Inquest' which was an unofficial M:TG magazine. Inside a particular issue, 'Inquest' did a review of epic warhammer 40k, I saw the models and was immediately hooked. Further 40k poison was introduce into my system after I saw the box art of warhammer 40k 2nd edition box through some advertisement inside the magazine.

Big wall of text incoming if you press below.

WIP Death coy

Enrgie started Tale of 6 armies  to get us painting. I committed 9 death coy and 1 chaplain for the painting event. Here are my progress:

9 death coy primed and ready to be painted. I throw in mephiston and a chaos marine too. (chaplain was not in picture but was primed)



Some tools I used:

Orks vs DE (1.5k) Battle mission Batrep

Played a game today, using my orks. Would be playing against Krom's DE. We decide on battlemission. Winning the roll off , and rolling 2 for mission, we would be playing Blitzkrieg (German, "lightning war" is an anglicized word describing all-mechanized force concentration of tanks, infantry, artillery and air power, concentrating overwhelming force and rapid speed to break through enemy lines, and once the latter is broken, proceeding without regard to its flank.)

Mission: Blitzkrieg
Deployment: Battle mission deployment
Objectives: 3

BA (1.75k) normal mission batrep

Weekday 40k. Played 2 games yesterday.
1st game was against Krom SW, 2nd game was against Jaeroler IG.
I was using the same list here.

Update

I have updated my weblog and have included the game I played yesterday with a friend of mine in HK.

Check it out and as always leave your comments: http://anythingbutones.blogspot.com

Speedpainting Orcs

In the spirit of our Tale of 5 Gamers, here is something that will help:

This will help the Orc players!

Tale of 6 Armies

Okay guys,

Based on the conversations so far we have had, it seems like I have a few people who are quite interested with our Tales of Armies!

In keeping it simple, here are the rules of the game:

1. Commit 10 models from your collection to this blog - a short post will do but if you have a picture that will do as well (I do suggest signing up for Picasa to store all your pictures) [http://picasaweb.google.com/home]
2. Attempt to complete these 10 models within 2 weeks
3. Put up a photo in 2 weeks from the start date. That gives you 2 full days per model! 

Let me know who else is keen. The reward is completing your army and our battlereports will be so much nicer! 

1. Ray: Tyranids: 10 Termagants
2. Sam: Blood Angels: 10 Sanguinary Guard
3. Youcai: Blood Angels: 9 Death Company + 1 chaplain 
4. Daniel: 10 Space Marine Scouts
5. Defeng: Chaos: 10 Traitor Guard
6. Melvin: 10 Imperial Guard

BA VS SW (1.75k) batrep

2nd game was against Defu (Krom) SW. I will let him feel "mepcheezeto" power! I was using the same BA list as listed here .

Krom's SW list and his thoughts for the game in this link .

Mission: Captured and Control
Deployment: Dawn of war

BA VS IG (1.75k) batrep

Another wkend, 40k as usual. Played 2 games today using the new BA. 1st game was against Defeng (Jaeroler) IG.
I will be using this list as posted here .
Jaeroler IG list posted below in the comments.

Mission: Capture and control
Deployment: Pitched battle

Tyranid Micetic Spores

I've been very interested in the Mycetic spores in the army list but so far without a good model in the GW range has left me the choice of getting an alternate model or make one.

I saw this online and thought this may be a good shout. However, thinking further I might just make my own. Sam, you have any ideas? Like I would definitely like to use existing parts from our Monstrous Creature frames since I cannot sculpt for nuts. That would give it the detail needed. 

Another one I saw:

Finally the guys at Beasts of War gave a very good sample which I am penchant to use. It's got the least amount of modelling, is about the correct size and I guess you guys won't have an issue with it.

Thoughts?

Renovation Works

Guys I am testing out the various layouts to the blog. Anyone have a nice banner for the top of this site?

YC I remember you had one in the past?

Game 9th May 2010

Guys,

I had a great 2v2 game this Sunday with the HK Boyz.

Each player had 1750. It was Nids vs Imperium.

I obviously was on the Nids side and these are the following pictures:

Just as a preface, I love the Tervigon! With 2 of these guys, I am almost horde without numbers! Looks like I'll have to get another Carnifex to proxy for these guys until the actual model comes out.

Off topic beef

Best beef I ate in my life... Words cant describe the taste and the texture of the meat.  (yea, I fry them before consuming... not into raw meat here)


Off topic post.
Not related to wargaming at all hahaha :)

I'm back!!

After a month of no updates from me. I'm back with a vengeance. hehehe

Stuffs that arrived in April.

All my spezze mehrine                                Part of  Beardy Ones' stuffs

All my stuffs are to be built into BA. Starting my 1st Spezze mehrine army, will take me 1-2 months to build them.

For Beardy One I think he is painting his own colour scheme "spartan marines" and using his marines for both BA and SM codex.

Till then, signing off.
