Headquarters : Free online army builder

Just thought I'd share this as I realised I haven't yet. While the site that's developed it is fully in Russian, the actual army builder is 100% in english. It's great, quick and even has a few options for printing/sending your lists. It does have the occasional glitch or mistake but other than that it's great! It's also recently had a massive overhaul and has all the latest army rules including the new tau.

@Created by Head Quarters - online roster builder

So it's got the mandatory darklight weapon per 100 points. Got 7 venoms, some blade-vaning  and a squad of anti-infantry trueborn. Actually got a decent amount of troops that aren't all just going to go in for a suicide attack unlike other de lists I've written and has a little fun unit of hellions that go with the baron and can score late game if someone survives. Mainly their job is to harrass and distract.

I've let go of the voidraven for this one because I've realised that the pricetag it has may just not be worth it at this points level. For higher points, yes definitely, but for now I'm going to drop it. Was trying to get some incubi in there, but honestly this seems better.

After some playtesting I have a feeling that I'll probably switch out the hellions for a small beast pack of maybe 4 khymerae and 2 razorwings but we'll see.

The Start of a New Army: Dark Eldar

So I had a little holiday time left to make a start on my de. Tarted off by converting the razor wing I got off eBay slightly, not realising what dark lances look like and thinking they were splinter rifles or something and that they looked silly. Thus, after a bit of cutting, gluing and some liquid green stuff I ended up with the two void lances you can see. On the underside I just stuck on the coolest looking missiles and will count them as void mines.

I forgot to get a basing kit last time I visited a hobby shop so my kabalites are built but baseless. Got some incubi - lovely models - and did likewise with them. Glued together my eBay succubus too.

For the wyches, when I get around to them (probably towards July) I'll be trying to get more dynamic poses. The basing scheme for the army will be urban but snowy so I can use my IG display board for them without it looking too out of place. I'll be doing test schemes but to be honest my favourite is the gw studio scheme of the kabal of the black heart, although I might be tempted by a stahly style purple or a more magenta type like evil space elves from the dark city forums.

Tournament Report: Spring Storm

I know this is from a while back, but I've only just got round to writing this up. So last Sunday we went to a 2000 pt single FOC tournament. Wanting to do something fresh and take a break from guard I took these guys (click here for army list):

Note: this is going to be less indepth than I usually do mostly because I'm lazy and also because can't remember all the detail. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much and wanted to find out what worked and what didn't in 6th considering I've only played one game with the smurfs in this edition, and the one before that was sometime in the first half of 5th. Here's some of the other armies.

Paul, persuaded by me, took a break from daemons and took Blood Angels (well and also he wanted to try out new Tau and couldn't be bothered to finish a soul grinder and another squad of pink horrors he'd bought)

Ultramarines Army-Wide painting update and 2k list

2000 point tournament coming up on Sunday (single FOC), decided to break out my marines and give them a go. Am going to play a list of what I have painted plus one or two things that I knew I'd be excited about painting. So with that in mind no more tactical squads and so I had to take scouts. Was originally going to take tau allies, but between the new codex and not being able to fit in a worthwhile detachment I decided to stick to pure marines.

Before (minus the second half-painted pod and unfinished talon)

 Borrowed a drop pod off of Paul and the above was what I was likely to use.

Tournament Report: Offence 31/03/13

IG Army pics

I finished painting some stuff up for my revised IG 1500 pt force so I decided to put some pics up. Did allright-ish (i.e. better than Paul and Ilya lol) in the tournament yesterday. Watch out for the report later this week. Quite annoyed by the painting score I got (half that of last time) but whatever.

Note: had to proxy a few random things as normal guardsmen.
