Fight, fight, fight

Today we faced of in a tournament @1000p in the Tales of X-games.

I played a list with few models, heavy hitting CC.

HQ
Typhus - Warlord
Mortarion (Demon Prince)

Troops
Sq Bobonic with the Rhino Flea
Sq Pneumonic with the Rhino Bacteria

1 Melta in each sq

Heavy
Predator with 2 Lascannons and Autocannon

The tournament was a 3 game setup with scenarios from Fantasy Fanatic 2014 (A Swedish tournament)

----------

1st game:

CSM vs Imperial Fist

Imperials came with 
Land raider - 6 mounted assault terminators
Rhino - Captain and tactical sq
Dreadnought
Scouts

Traded a few shots but i got in close and managed to get both Mortarion and Typhus in CC with the Captain and his tactical sq.

I did also manage to get a fair amount of T.O on my side. Ended in a big victory 19-1

----------
2nd game

CSM vs Orks

Orks had a massive unit of boys with 30 orks and the war boss and a Nob.

2 units of gretchins

A battlewagon with 4 big meks (?)

The scenario had us to chose the objectives (we played the wrong scenario as it turned out later, we blame the small font)

As we reveled our choices none of us had chosen any tactical objectives, just gind and pund. This would be a slaughter feast with lots of CC. 

The CSM set up in cover and waited in the orks. A few shoots flew over the battlefield and my Predator blew up in the first round.. oops.

Then Mortarion went in for a Hail Mary and with a very successful psychic round he massacred the war boss and his entire unit in two rounds.

14-6 Victory

----------
3:d game

I was lucky enough to be placed 2:nd after two rounds. Then i faced of with the number one. A tyranid force from hell.

Tyranids:
2 flying hive tyrants with a biljon shots at S6
1 Big monster with flamers
1 Big monster with a huuuge canon
3 Tyranid warriors

This was hell on earth. Not to whine on my opponent, he played well and gave me a good wooping but GW, WTF.

Tyranids as super zooming-monster-flying-twinlinked-shooters and big freaking monster only... 

Silly, pure silly, were are the bloody genstealers!!!

Went down the toilet, Mortarion delivered though and it went to a 6-14 for my opponent. 

Placed 3:d with 39 pts, not bad for a CSM with a old bearded fella playing his 2-4th game sense 2:nd ed. ^^

GREAT GAMES everyone!

Mortarion has arrived!

The goal of August was the daemon prince Mortarion.

He is a vital part of the army, but the tactics are a bit sketchy. Maybe he will be put in the reserve line after all.

Oh here is some pics:

Machines with a hint of rust

Made it in the nick of time!

The Death Guard ground and air support troops has arrived

Enjoy!

June - Done

The Rhino was finished and with the help of a lot of pigment.. Love 'em, makes the vehicle look really aged and used.

Enjoy

Were's our ride?

Soon enough... 
½ of June's goal accomplished!


But here are the dudes of SQ Bubonic.

Enjoy :)

oh and thanks for the inspiration on the platta and VM Krister Franzén :D

 

Death Guards, Squad Bubonic

Sense I have three sq of Plague Marines, they will be named after the three forms of plague

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague

Plague is a disease caused by Yersinia pestis. There are three major manifestations:
Bubonic plague
Pneumonic plague
Septicemic plague

So it will be:
Sq Bobonic with the Rhino Flea
Sq Pneumonic with the Rhino Bacteria
Sq Septicemic with the Rhino Rat

This is Sq Bubonics build so far:

Custum Custas...

There is no combi-plasmas för the Terminators

Why?

I took out my trusty Dremel and went to work and it turned out fairly ok

Then i took the rest of the way too much green stuff i made up for the combi guns and made some bases for the upcoming Plauge Marines.

Better pics later on 

Directly from Terminus Est: Typhus !

I present to you the Space Marine named Calas Typhon of the world Barbarus, the Herald of Nurgle and the host of the terrible plague known as the Destroyer Hive. 

A Champion of Chaos and the former First Captain of the Death Guard Traitor Legion. The most feared of all Chaos Lords to commander of the legendary Plague Fleets. He rules the Death Guard's armada from the bridge of his flagship, the Terminus Est!

Ladies and gentlemen, i give you

"I shall reap a terrible bounty from the death that I sow in your name, Father Nurgle..."

-Typhus the Traveler, Herald of Nurgle

Typhus is coming

Making the base

Need more worms....

and volia some worms...

Converting

Found an old nurgle dude that needed som love and a banner.. so it makes my squad in the Trusty old rusty have a banner as well if needed!

Grandfather Nurgle part III

Here is a few updates.

First the altered army list:

2000 Pts - Chaos Space Marines

HQ: Typhus (1 , 230 pts)

Elite: Chaos Terminators (6 , 461 pts)

Chaos Land Raider

Elite: Khorne Berzerkers (9 , 256 pts)

Chaos Rhino

Troops: Plague Marines (8 , 240 pts)

Chaos Rhino

Troops: Plague Marines (8 , 240 pts)

Chaos Rhino

Troops: Plague Marines (8 , 240 pts)

Chaos Rhino
Troops: Plague Zombies (35 , 150 pts)

Troops: Plague Zombies (35 , 150 pts)

Fast Attack: Heldrake (1 , 170 pts)

Heavy Support: Chaos Predator (1 , 95 pts)

Total Cost: 2232

Obviously some stuff need to go, probably the Bezerks but I'm undecided so far... 

Then some pics on my updated Plauge marines (yes they are nine, but i painted all i had..) and the Rhino: Trusty Old Rusty

I used the hairspray and salt technique and it is a time consuming and for me useless method. I'm not that good with a air brush and its way much easier to use pigments. I went wild and made the Rhino dirty as hell.
Still some stuff to do on the bases and maybe some fine lining on the rusty parts and of course the Warlord Typhus (ordered, not delivered)

Enjoy:

Grandfather Nurgle part II

First things first.
This is a jump start on the goal for May, i know. But as it is soon a lot of work hitting me in the face, i need to get a head start!

Salt and hairspray... Crapad00dle!

Tried out a air brush for the first time and it is as the say on some 'learn how to page' If you think of all your hours with a brush, why should you master the air brush from the get go?

Because i WANT to, that's why!

Anyway, learned this by doing it wrong:

Spray on a distance
Use small grained salt or grind your big flakes.
HOT water and a gentle brush
Don't overdo it.
Use rust pigments instead, much easier, less time, less mess...

And when you use pigments, its also a new skill, DAMN IT !

Pic for you to snicker at. I hope i can make them look somewhat nurglish in a few more days.

Grandfather Nurgle

The goal for Tale of X Gamers this May is:
A squad of old renegade miniatures representing Death Guard and a Rhino to transport them. I will try to use the Salt and Hairspray technique for the rust and decay of body, soul and metal.

A pic of the extremely nice old models (made 1989):

Who said that they couldn't model miniatures before plastic....

Tale of X Gamers, Goal for April

Finished, Yay !

This is a tribute to all my long hours in the 90's trying to make the the darkness show in my Chaos models. I want this army to be dark and gruesome, true to the myth and easy to paint... (oh well) 

The first unit that stands ready are: 
Khornate Berzerkers:
8 of them, red, black and brass. 

Made in an attempt to speed paint and some eye candy. I don't use transfers, i don't like em! And i want the drawing to be sketchy and look painted. A tribute of old and a nice chaos feature in my pow and most of them variants of the Eye of Horus. 

Thoughts are to use the black rims as a base color as Horus first legion walked by the name Lunar Wolves (White armor/Black rims) You will hopefully see a few more things inspired by the Lunar wolves and hopefully it will blend in nicely. Though as Berzerkers, they don't really blend in, they are red...

Used red as base, black wash.
Trying to make the black more bluish-black rather than grey
White is plain and dirty, as meant to.
Brass is aged, what, do you really think the warp will make brass shine like gold... ohh nope, not in my book! oh, pics you say?

Tale of X Gamers

Ny inriktning...
Nu måste det bara bli gjort. Latmasken får ge vika och en arme som hängt med sen tidigt 90-tal ska få nytt ljus. Nya figgar, gamla figgar... gott och blandat helt enkelt!

Blood for the blood God, Skulls for the skull throne !

Första dansen står 8 (naturligtvis) Khorne Bezerkers för:

Prima liv, prima rött!
