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.
I don't care about the rules.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
There are 40 different shades of black, so many fortresses and ways to attack.

So why you complaining!

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.

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

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!

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

They are great models. Get some.

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

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?

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.
