1850 Tournament: Game 1 Eldar vs Chaos space marines 'Opening shots'

My first game of the tournament and I was paired up with a very friendly guy who was running a chaos space marine list. His list was heavily themed and was not one of the lists which scared the hell out of me, so I got to ease into the tournament gently. So read on and see how the game went…

Rules questions from the tournament

A few interesting rules came up across the day of the tournament which I thought I would see your opinions on them. The first one is quite interesting, and was hotly debated as both sides of the rule refused to accept the other. The second, not so much, more of a query from me.

1850 40k Tournament: First Impressions

Having taken part In my first 1850 40k tournament I thought I would share with you how I felt about the experience as a whole before I go into the battle reports that I’m sure you can all laugh at me over. The event consisted of 3 games over 1 day and 24 people took part over all.

Serpent Spawn... Eldar vs Chaos space marines 1500

The forces of the plague god once again defile an unsuspecting world and it is up to the eldar to prevent such rot from spreading. This is a 1500 game between Eldar and Chaos space marines, the mission is purge the alien with hammer of anvil deployment.

Tournament Prep: Getting the army ready

With the tournament fast coming upon me i need to get my models up to scratch, and indeed i need to find a way to represent an iracus lascannon as i only have a quadgun right now. A few of my models need rebasing, and i have been stripping old models so they can be primed purple to give my force a more cohesive look. Thankfully i dont need to have my army painted for this tournament. 

Using Dark Eldar allies as Eldar Aspect warriors

Untill the release of the 6^th edition Eldar Codex I used dark eldar allies to help fill the gaps in my old army lists. This mainly took the form of some dark eldar warriors and a ravage, as with the old 4^th edition book anti-tank weaponry was vastly expensive. Now I have found myself wanting to reintroduce the dark eldar into my lists but instead of using them as dark eldar, I was contemplating using them as rather unusual aspect warriors instead…

Duel of Knights... Eldar vs Eldar 1500

Once again the Craftworld of Iyanden gets in the way of the glorious craftworld of Dem-Kirath so must be put in their place. The loss of Eldar life is regrettable but necessary for the future of the craftworld. If you hadn’t of guessed, it’s some Blue on Blue action, in a 1500 point game of Purge the Alien, with vanguard strike deployment.

Temple of Khorne W.I.P

For those of you who have watched my blog for a while might remember this from a LONG time ago, its my temple of khorne. Finally i have gotten around to painting at least a bit of it so hopefully it will be finished soon. But still here are my current WIP photos of it.

White Dwarf October 2013

October white dwarf, now I would say I was going to review it but I think that has long gone, I don’t think for the last few months I have done a proper ‘review’ of it for a while so instead of lying to you all I will say I am just going to give a general comment on the magazine in general. Plus I just makes this whole process easier for us both.

The Forgotten Battle... Eldar Vs Deathwing 1750

Unfortunately this week I don’t have a proper battle report as I lost my notes from the game and it was about 2 weeks ago so I can’t really remember what happened all too well. Regardless I have some pictures and a rough idea of what happened. It’s Eldar vs Deathwing, 1750 points, the game was purge the alien, with vanguard strike deployment.

Renegade Guard squad 1 completed

Finally i have finished my first unit for my Renegade guard army. Its just a simple infantry squad but for now i think its a good start. It took a lot longer than i expected but such is life. I am starting on my second squad shortly but i still have a few eldar units that need to be finished.

Wraith-Star still viable?

I was reminiscing about my old wraith-Star list that I used before the 6^th edition elder codex came out and it got me thinking, is something just as deadly possible? Well I think I have something, but will it be any good on the table? Not a clue but if someone tried it I can imagine it being hilarious to use.
