Yes, but it took me ages to build the scourges, then I got distracted by the football.

Tomorrow I have to: finish basing loads of DE, paint scourges, paint chariots, pack, make movement trays.

Errrr.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #551 on:** April 25, 2012, 08:18:55 AM »

I'm sure that's possible.

Finlay · « **Reply #552 on:** April 25, 2012, 09:54:35 AM »

Depends if Ted is co-operative.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #553 on:** April 25, 2012, 09:56:28 AM »

Distract him with Captain Calamari!

PhillyT · « **Reply #554 on:** April 25, 2012, 11:11:42 AM »

How is that in anyway possible?!?!

Finlay · « **Reply #555 on:** April 25, 2012, 12:16:45 PM »

The chariots are part painted, so only a little touch up to make them decent to play with...
The basing will take about an hour.
I can make my movement trays at Fr1days house
The scourges can do with a basecoat without highlighting, which will save a fair bit of time.
Ellie can pack all my clothes.

I can comfortably paint 5 troopers with highlighting in an evening.

Have you got some of the GW modular ones? If so it hardly takes any time to make them.

Finlay · « **Reply #557 on:** April 25, 2012, 10:28:53 PM »

Ok, I've epically failed.

No scourge painting at all.

The chariots look crap but are done.

Now to pack!

I need to borrow some adeptus battlegrey at FR1days house to finish basing the DE

I like the new edition. I like the relic missio ! I really don't like the kill point mission. I'd reroll that scenario every time if the opposition allowed me

Trueborn in venom are good.

I like your army way more than I like mine!

Lascannon jabba skiffs full of people.

Did anyone charge your skiffs? You can overwatch with everyone on board!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #560 on:** February 04, 2013, 03:34:53 PM »

Hold on, do open vehicles still get a modifier on the damage chart?

Yes, +1 to damage them. Not sure if we did that or not.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #561 on:** February 04, 2013, 04:50:51 PM »

Your Deldar vs Adam's space marines!

And again, except army-swapped.

I think they got grenaded a few times- but probably wouldn't have made a difference.

We definitely didn't do that!
although I think they got blown up quite quickly. I remember the ravager getting imobilised in the 2k point gamer- would that have changed to weapon destroyed? If so, it might have been preferable as it was stuck nowhere.
And I think one got the "only shoot with snapshot" once....
but still, bad finlay.

I really like my army. I need to finish painting it, BADLY, and want to add more warriors and a unit of incubi. I'll maybe swap the old skiffs to new ones at some point.

FR1DAY · « **Reply #563 on:** February 05, 2013, 10:44:55 PM »

dont paint them badly! They look good, you could replace the old skiffs but painting them will make a huge difference and get some flying stands for them.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #564 on:** February 06, 2013, 10:38:31 AM »

Yes, I doubt the +1 on the damage chart would have actually made a difference in those games.

Immobilised turns into explodes with +1! But we were playing 5 = wrecked for the first night anyway, because Adam said that's what it was. So we were all over the place with the rules.

and a unit of incubi.

They have special AP2 power weapons, according to the DE FAQ. So they can still kill terminators. They might be good.

PhillyT · « **Reply #565 on:** February 06, 2013, 04:04:27 PM »

Incubi are tough. They can be quite hard to deal with if they can be transported into range.

Finlay · « **Reply #566 on:** February 06, 2013, 10:54:20 PM »

They'd get shot to fuck Once they kill what they assault though.

Still, I like the models so I want to add some. Need the archon for grenades otherwise they strike last when assaulting into terrain!

PhillyT · « **Reply #567 on:** February 07, 2013, 12:29:02 AM »

They get shot, but that AS 3+ comes in handy. You need to commit a lot to kill a unit.

FR1DAY · « **Reply #568 on:** February 07, 2013, 10:04:17 AM »

They are great models. Get some.

I also really like the snake man, though I believe he is quite poor rules wise

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #569 on:** February 07, 2013, 10:15:30 AM »

Nasty resin models though! Unless you can get the metal ones on ebay that were released before they decided to resinate everything.

I bet no one uses the Archon's Court!

Why can't incubi afford their own grenades?

FR1DAY · « **Reply #570 on:** February 07, 2013, 10:25:16 AM »

No pockets to put them in

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #571 on:** February 07, 2013, 11:00:46 AM »

Impractical outfits!

Everyone should have pockets.

PhillyT · « **Reply #572 on:** February 07, 2013, 01:58:30 PM »

My DE player has 5 pewter and 5 resin incubi. To be honest, the resin casts for the incubi are really good. I can't tell the difference.
