Game 26th April 2010

Guys,

Got in a game this weekend. Was hung over and played like a muppet pretty much the earlier 2 turns but my opponent was really nice. He gave me a lot of tips and explained his logic behind his moves and the moves that I made.

Great game but I won't want to spoil it for you so go over to the pics. There will be commentary there.

Do leave your comments too!

1750 BA list

Came up my 1st BA list. Wanting to test Mephiston "uber-ness" I included him as the leader of this BA "strike force". The assault terminators will sit in their LR:R and go forward to engage in CC. 1st turn Death coy dreadnought will drop pod assault down to let opponent have something to shoot, while the rest of my fast rhino and razorback  with death coy and assault marines move forward (flat out if passengers can disembark if wreck).
Sanguinary priest will give fnp to the assault marines and terminators. Last squad of assault marines will either deep-strike in or fly around to engage random things. Chaplain will allow the death coy to reroll hit and wounds.

Carnifex

Just got back from Taipei yesterday and I have begun working on my Tervigon. Taking Grim's advice, I am actually building him up as a normal Carnifex but will be using him as a proxy for the Tervigon until it is actually out as a model.

Besides, 4 Scything Talons on a Carni works out as a Tervigon yes? Let me know what your comments are: would you be happy to play against me if I used this?

I will post photos soon.

Do check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Tkw7ttTIo

Great guide on magnetizing a Carni. I am doing the exact thing to by Carni now.

Goodies!

My orders from Maelstrom just arrived!

4 boxes of Gargoyles, 1 Carni and 3 Hive Guard. WEEEEEE

Here's a photo of the stuff I got!

Painting Week

Guys,

No game for me for this weekend and the next (I'm going to Taipei this weekend for my birthday!).

I'll be playing 2 games on the 25th and will post pics then.

Anyway, my friends played a big 3000 a side game. 3 quick snaps for you guys to satisfy the jitters.
