STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP!

I don't really understand 40k rules yet but that list looks like you have hardly any guns. Which is awesome. Guns are for pansies.

If I had more sig space, maybe I'd quote this one.

I made an alternative list for the tournament tomorrow!

Now i just have to choose...
New list

HQ:
Reclusiarch - goes with DC

Honour guard with blood champion and chapterbanner and jump packs.

Elites: 5 Assault termies, 4 with hammers and shields.. These guys are deepstriking?

Troops:
2x 10 assault marines with 2 meltas and one powerfist.

8 Death company. 1 with a powersword. Riding a landraider.

Fast:
2 Dakka baals

The first list was:
HQ:
Librarian in termi armour and stormshield. Has Sanguine sword and unleash rage.
Elites:
5 Assault termies. Sergeant has lightning claws, 4 thunderhammers. They ride in a Landraider Redeemer together with the librarian.
Honour guard / Sanguinary guard. Chapterbanner, blood champion, 1 extra power weapon. I dont know if these guys should be exchanged with sanguinary guard with chapterbanner. It would give me more powerweapons but lose furious charge.
Troops:
2x 10 Assault marines with 2 meltas and a powerfist on sarge
5 Death company with 1 powersword in razorback
Fast:
Baal predator with heavy bolters
Heavy:
5 devastators with 4 missile launchers.

Thoughts:
The new list has more tanks. But the deepstriking termies seems hard to use properly now that they dont have a ride, which I dont have any experience in.
Right now im thinking of staying with the old list.. mostly because those models... but dno.
I could exchange the assault termies in the new list with vanguard veterans and give them a powerfist and some powerswords and jump packs. And give out some powerweapons here and there.
I just loooove those termie models.. and i have them painted :p so I really want them in the list.

Ok, my first thought ... stop playing 40K, play WFB instead.

McKnight · « **Reply #654 on:** July 02, 2010, 04:22:38 PM »

Im gonna play 8th on sunday

GamesPoet · « **Reply #655 on:** July 02, 2010, 04:26:04 PM »

That'll be a good day for such, celebrating the fourth while freeing yourself from 40k rule.

McKnight · « **Reply #656 on:** July 02, 2010, 04:31:03 PM »

Thats actually true.. i havent played fantasy for a year or so... half a year at least.

I play fantasy alot. But, I also love 40k. So far I have plans to make the following armies:

Space Marine Battle Company (half-way finished with this one. Need transports and 3 more tactical squads.)
All infantry Imperial Guard (Using Wargames Factory Great Coat Troopers)
Daemonhunters Inquisition. (Almost finished)
Witchhunters Inquisition. (Not started)
Artillery Company of Imperial Guard (2 veteran squads and 9 basilisks. Only using this in Apocalypse games)
Space Marine Terminator Detachment (20 terminators.)

Their Storm Troopers are close to being released. I've got some on order, and with them being created, I'm seriously contemplating using them for Imperial Guard as well. Won't be able to use them in a GW tourney, but oh well.

By the way, it seems liek these are going to be a big hit, and it seems like a heavy weapons/command sprue will be following at some point as well.

132nd · « **Reply #659 on:** July 06, 2010, 10:53:34 PM »

Yeah. I've been reading over the Wargames Factory forum over there. (I'm 132nd over there too)

I've always been interested in Wargames Factory, having been contemplating on starting an Ancient Republican Roman Army alongside some Jewish Revolt Zealots. And some Germans thrown in for good measure.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #660 on:** July 07, 2010, 01:02:46 AM »

This is the 40K thread, and there's a WF thread here as well, so I'll save most comments regarding other figures they are producing for over there, but I've got my first box of the late republic/early imperial romans already (1 box each of infantry & cavalry), with intentions of making some of Rome's enemies at some point as well.

McKnight · « **Reply #661 on:** July 18, 2010, 08:19:21 AM »

I just played an apocalypse battle with 10k on each side, both with 4 players..

It sucked..

Aldaris · « **Reply #662 on:** July 18, 2010, 08:21:18 AM »

I don't like games that size very much either. 3K is about the limit of what I really enjoy. Bigger than that, and it becomes work.

McKnight · « **Reply #663 on:** July 18, 2010, 08:41:08 AM »

Yes, I agree Aldaris...

details wiill come later.

McKnight · « **Reply #664 on:** July 18, 2010, 09:28:46 AM »

I dont even know what details to write. One of the opposing players had only brought a titan, tower of skulls, plague tower, dooms day device and some planes.

The rest of us brought normal stuff, besides a baneblade and shadowsword... we got owned...

phillyt · « **Reply #665 on:** July 18, 2010, 10:46:46 AM »

When I drop more than 2 stompas, the same sort of thing happens to me (nobody can handle it). You need to coordinate with your partners in a 6000 point and up game.

Phil

McKnight · « **Reply #666 on:** July 18, 2010, 11:46:39 AM »

Yes one guy also suggested that but we didnt reach any consensus before the game... so it became meh.. Otherwise it would have been fun!

Shadowlord · « **Reply #667 on:** September 30, 2010, 04:20:49 PM »

Some lovely thredomancy right here because I see no need to start a new thread.

I have for the first time ever, managed to paint, from scratch, a 40K tank all by myself. My old lovely IG tanks were painted by a local talent whom I paid lots of green for lovely work. This time I wanted to tackle the boring chore of painting one myself - and now that I am done, what the hell was I thinking? Painting tanks isn't that boring and can be a good change from models such as terminators, Ogres or humans. Yes I know that it is black but it is a tank!

Very proud of this, mostly because it is a tank. A tank God damn it!

DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR (and his gay space marines in blue)!

McKnight · « **Reply #668 on:** September 30, 2010, 05:25:29 PM »

Its black legion dude! Its not hard to paint when its 80% done when its primed

With that said, good job!

On another note, im having new army syndrome this month. First it was the new High elves but now im having feelings for tyranids, just because they are so awesome.

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #669 on:** September 30, 2010, 07:59:05 PM »

Nice stuff, Shadowlord. And Black Legion suits you perfectly!

Michael W · « **Reply #670 on:** September 30, 2010, 09:12:49 PM »

Very pretty. Wish I had the talent to do vehicles right.

You too? After having seen the new upcoming Dark Eldar, I felt an itch I plan to scratch around christmas.

McKnight · « **Reply #672 on:** October 03, 2010, 03:41:42 PM »

No screw the Dark Eldar. Im wanting the Tyranids more and more for each day!

To be honest, I'd rather screw Dark Eldar than Tyranids.

The new Lelith Hesperax model is quite yummy for example.

Valetus · « **Reply #674 on:** October 03, 2010, 11:07:06 PM »

Imperial Guard is a difficult army to play, there are so many options and its a tricky balance between expendable man power and big guns.

Does anyone else notice though that most 40k armies tend to be played as either purely shooting or purely assault? The game is really not much good in a pitched battle, objective taking is much more competitive, hence quite a different game from fantasy.
