Not dead! Just painting and stuff

I'm not dead! Atleast not yet... Life has been well life? Been busy with all kind of stuff...

Me trying to kill some Imperial Fist

If been too the Holland to play some 40k there, did some training days, painted some stuff. Helped organize our first Replay tournament, painted terrain for our gaming group, kicked ass and got ass kicked. Went to a wedding party, work being bleh sometimes, BBQ on the balcony, playing Pokémon, painting stuff, preparing to go to London, Graspop was awesome… Last few months have been great but also had some down sides in it. Ooh well! 

Facing off a Imperial Knight.

Me  vs some Space Marines

7^th edition came very soon. I’m already a bit adapted to it. At least that’s what I think… Things are being cooked up in my head what to do with my Chaos Space Marines & Necrons. I played a tournament with the list. They still preform okay, also some test matches shows that things didn’t change much. Now if got the advice to go Chaos Daemons as allies with the new summoning stuff. So that's what if been painting lately.  Daemons and more Daemons! Fun times ahead off me now that grey knights has a new codex! Also my Logan Wing is on freeze because that doesn’t exist anymore… Ooh well we got unbound for that now. If painted a few old models. Now I'm gonna shut up and show what if been doing the couple of months:

BBQ time!

Also been watching to much of these guys:

40k beginner friendly tournament

Saturday 15th of March it was the 40k beginner friendly tournament at the Black Border in Roeselare.

Pretty simple the beginners could take everything in their armylist that they wanted, of course they had to keep the normal force organization chart in mind. The more experienced people had the restriction to a highlander list.  This meant that only one unit choice could be taken in the list with the exception of troops. Who could be taken twice. Squadrons where also not allowed in the highlanders army lists.
 

So I built this list:
HQ: Captain (90), The Shield of Eternal (50), Thunderhammer (30), Artificer Armour (20), Space Marine Bike (20) [210]
Command Squad (100), Space Marine Bikers (35), Apothecary (15), 4x Gravgun (60), 4x Storm Shield (40) [ 240]
Troops:
Troops 1: Bike Squad (63), 2x Space Marine Bikers (42), 2x Meltagun (20) [ 125]
Troops 2: Crusade Squad (70) in Transport 1
Troops 3: Scout Squad (55), 5x Sniper Rifles (5), 5x Camo Cloaks (10) [70]
Fast Attack:
Fast Attack 1 : Stormtalon Gunship (110), Skyhammer Missile Launcher (15) [125]
Heavy Support:
Heavy Support 1: Predator (75), Lascannons (40) [115]
Transport 1 Rhino (35)
Total 1000pts

So how did the event go? Pretty well! The mission where all themed around the St. Patricks weekend.
 First round was against a grey knight list. With castellan crowe, 2 x 10 purifiers, a brotherhood champion and a riflemen dreadnought. 3 objectives in the middle and one was the pot of gold! He ended up losing everything except, 3 purifiers and his dreadnought. I had the pot of gold, slay the warlord and first blood. Win for me. Long live the grav guns! 

Second round was against Kobe. 
We had to get an objective and place it in our deployment zone. But you could also get your opponents and place it in your own. I did both! Long live the bikers! Linebreaker was 4points. We because you had to get the rainbow in the opponent his deployment.
He made me sweat alot... with his master of ordnance and his orders... Also I only wounded his guys on 5+ so that was a bummer... He had 2 flyers both with 2 veterans in it, a blob 30men with autocannons, a command squad and Marbo... We played four turns and in the fourth turn Kobe turned a win for me in to minor win. Damn all his flyers came in. Marbo did some wreckage and my lonesome Templar lost the fight against the blob.... He also made me all most lose my captain and command squad... fun game and exciting until the end.
 

Third round was against Sven with Black Templars. So we fought out which of us was the true Black Templar. Sven brought a squad of 10marines and 10 scouts. 5 sniper scouts, a bike Chapter Master, a chaplain, a bike squad with 2 grav guns and a stormtalon.
We had to secure the pot of gold in the center of the table. Only our HQ could score it. This would be a pain in the ass because of sven his bike blob who was fearless and zealot thanks to the chaplain.. So in the end I shot all his troops with the grav guns and killed his warlord!

 Overall I did good and played the missions. I like the command squad. The only thing I fear is that they will be an easy target. They only get one wound and got a 3+, 3++ and a 5+ feel no pain. Will have to test them out more for sure!

Chosen Of Nurgle

In the summer of 2013 I built some Chosen for my Nurgle Army. I liked the idea of giving them all shields to represent the T5. So I built those guys pretty fast. Only thing I didn't do was paint them.
Until the last few weeks. I painted them and based them. Also did a Sorceroron foot and a Dark Apostle for the fun of it. They are built out of the Dark Vengeance chosen with some minor conversions. Hope you like them!

Best of 2014!

I know I'm two weeks to late. Best Wishes for 2014! Good Dice roll, great battles and fun opponents!

Let’s recap fast: After Warpstorm 7 I did my first Malifaux 2nd tournament on 01-12-2013. I went to Antwerp for this to see some old friends and catch up with them. Also play some games. Which was fun but I need to learn a lot more! Should visit the local store more for the Malifaux league…

 

Then one week later on the 08-12-2013 it was Insurrection 5. Had some great battles there. Faced Orks, Grey Knights/Necrons and Tau/Eldar. Should have done better but had a blast! No photo’s cause I forgot my battery’s. As always the guys Gaming Lords Leuven did a great job with catering, hosting and organizing this event.

Winter is Coming was on the 22-12-2013 and was great way to end the year! It was a doubles

tournament. My teammate, Kimster, and I won best painted and went 3^rd Place. Best painted was a tie with the other Replayers. Seems like we had the more wow-factor. Some fun games as well.

Juggernaut Lord vs some jetbikers

I ended the year with testing a Chaos Space Marine list with Be’lakor in. He ended up giving away first blood and doing not so much. My Chaos Sorcerer with Hallucination was the men of the match. He hallucinated a 14men squad to not strike a blow in close combat. Which made me go kill the squad and it was game over. So I ended the year with a win.

In 2014 the first battle was a loss. And Be’lakor ended up doing the same in the first battle with him. I got advice to play more defensive with him. Seem not like a bad idea. Will test this out other time.

Did I paint something towards the end of 2013? I started 5 grey knight terminators and finished them in 2014 the first few days. Below you can see them. I need to paint the banner and the bloodletter head. For now: Let’s have a great 2014!
