Dark Angels: Sacred Standard of Devestation

I just re-read my codex dark angels i found this little beauty. For those of you who don't know what it is, its a banner that lets all units within 6 inches make their bolters salvo 2/4. Now is it me or is that over the top? Take this with 3 units of 10 man tactical squads and hold an objective and no one is going to be able to weather 120 bolter shots! And its only 65 points... granted you have to buy a command squad to get it but i think its potentially very powerful.

Imagine a 1000 game, or something just as low. you come across a cheap HQ, command squad and then 4 units of tactical marines... that's going to be hard to shift in such a low points game. Hell in a large game it will make quite the flank holder, especially if its behind a aigis defense line.

Now i don't play dark angels (wish i did now) so what do you guys think? would this be viable?

Ripper Bolgrot Finished (finally)

So here is the finished product, i know it has taken ages to paint the guy but i am very happy with the rest. He's not golden demon standard by any stretch of the imagination, but i'm happy with him. I guess i just need to paint up a Orc team (or goblin) to go with him now.

I gave him number 16 as he's a star player, so this way he can join any team with ease (i hope). Was awkward doing the 16 free hand, irritating.

It was a nice change from painting purple again, but before i go back to painting more eldar i had a surprise xmas gift i want to paint. A colossal Squig from forgeworld. Its going to be fun to paint i hope.

The dead walk again... Eldar vs Imperial guard 1500 points

Eldar with dark eldar allies take on the imperial guard in this game of the scourging, with hammer and anvil deployment. This is my first game with my first revolutionary army list (I need to start giving my army lists names to avoid confusion). So can eldar trickery overcome the tanks of the imperial guard? Read on and find out...

White Dwarf January 2013 - Review

White dwarf January 2013 is now out, a little later than normal (in the actual month the magazine says) and once again we get a poster... this one is a hobbit product list. It’s just a obvious way to try and promote hobbit sales but there you go. Got to sell plastic crack somehow.

List Revolution: Mixing it up!

Now that its a new year, I decided to mix up my army for my next few games. While in the past I have been slowly evolving my list I have taken a different approach and gone with a new direction. I just wanted a change more than anything else and we shall see.
