post soon.

sorry i have not posted anything in a while, what with Christmas being on a Saturday, the one day i got to work in the last 3-5 weeks, i have not been able to play. this is no excuse though(just getting black ops IS my excuse, though) and i shall post this sat. may do something between then and now of course.

marry Xmas all!!

thats right, and i hope the big red man who breaks into your house and reverse robs you left some nice things!!

guard outfit.

sorry i havent posted anything in a while, its just that i have been working on my design plans for my kasrkin captain suit. it took a bit of guess work, looking at the drawings in the codex, and sizing, but i think i have the right sizes. i even made a mock-up of a las-rifle. i just need to make the final version out of some wood and stuff. thats where i have a problem. i have no idea how to make the armor plates for the suit. any ideas? and if you want, i can try to come up with any outfit you want. i just need reference pics of it. once i find out HOW to make the armor, i can make the suits and not just design them, though. so any help would be appreciated.      

morale victories

as most of my friends know, i dont normally win, but i do go for moral victories. these include grots killing anything in shooting or CC, killing their main HQ, or anything random happening. if i was a sore loser i probably would have quit long ago, but im not, so im good. in this game if you are doing bad you need to be able to laugh at yourself every once in a while.

(on a side note, i think not having a single list for almost any stretch of time might have something to do with the winning thing)

Ultra Marines Movie review!

thats right folks! i got my copy of the movie today and decided to watch it right away. there was some other stuff i needed to do, but i was like "screw that, im watching my movie." so i watched my movie.

now the case looks amazing, just wondrous! the movie itself starts off a little slow, i admit. but look at it like one of Abnetts books, and it is amazing. very good voice acting, and the voice acting is incredible.once the action gets started, it flows great. the one weird thing is that the ships PA system sounds like a mono-tone German from the Rockie movie, and its not a bad thing, just not expected.

the fact that its the ultra marines shows that the bad guys are, of course, the black legion. the graphics are great for how much time went into it and it allowed the creators to save some money so they would not have to add a love interest or some small kid needed to be saved. they are still quite good no matter how you look at it.

it still has the great story told by Abnett, so i would strongly recommend getting this movie, and hope for more in the future. 

battle report

ok i have a special for the first battle report, a 3-way battle! we have daemons, daemon hunters, and orks. kill points, dawn of war.

daemon list-2x Khorne heralds, chariots, blood god blessing, unholy might, chaos icon, 280
------
10 plague,
15 blood letters
10 blood letters, furry.
------
soul grinder, tongue.

1000

hunters-Grand master, holy relic, daemon hammer, icon of just, emperors tarot, consecrated scrolls, Grimoire of true names, master crafted, sacred incence, vagueats of warding, retinue 5 gray knight terminators, psycannon.
------
5 gray knight, psycannon.
10 stormtroopers, 2 plasma guns
1 evesor assassin.

orks- Warboss, pk, cybork.
 big mek, force-field.
-----
20 boyz, shootas, 2 big shootas, nob,
27 boyz, nob, 1 BS.
13 ard boyz, nob, PK.
------
10 lootas
-----
9 storm boyz
--------------------------------------------

                                         (hunters left, orks right)

hunters go first, evesor moves up with the terminators, the storm troopers shoots the orks in the building closest to them, no kills, 1 plasma shot killed 1, knights run 5, evesor runs 4, the normal knights shoot and kills 1 storm boy. evisor didn't kill anyone.

orks

this is the ork set up, left building has the lootas, the boyz squad/warboss/mek are on the ground, ard boyz on the left ground,rokkit on the right ground, others on the right building.
didnt move, they shot the terminators with everything, didnt kill 1.

daemons 1 chariot, plague bearers, and soul grinder come in. the grinder is the drop pod, plague is the Tau(thought it was funny for T5 tau.) and the blood letters are orks. they have red on them. the soul grinder scattered and immobilized on the tube by the hunters. the plague scatter almost off the board but make it by the storm troopers. herald sticks the landing by the lootas.

hunters-the guard shot the plague, killed 2. evesor assaults them, kills 2, the plague kills her, and makes the saves when she blows up.

orks-waagh!, lootas get 3 shots each, killed 3 normal knights. the ard boyz assault the chariot, Herald kills 1. orks do 3 wounds, finish off last with pk. big mob charges the terminators, have 116 attacks, do 27 wounds, fails the exact amount needed to kill them off.

chaos-the chariot/big blood letters com in.  plague charge, get the storm troopers, kill 2, they pass leadership.    

hunters-move away from orks, shoot and kill 5 of the orks. the nurgle assault still goes on, no deaths.

orks-shoot chariot, wounds it, lootas kill 2 of the blood letters way away. assault chariot, kills 2 orks, 2 wounds on him.

chaos- last blood letters come in, scatter and lose 2 to difficult terrain checks. chariot dies, plague battle still no deaths.

hunters-nothing, no plague battle change.

orks-lootas get 30 shots, killed 11 blood letters(big squad). the remaining big squad assaults into the nurgle assault, hunter/daemons team up against orks. each killed 3 orks. all orks against nurgle. 3 killed, orks lost, ran because had LD10, down 3, rolled 9. got away.

chaos-blood letters ran, nurgle lost 1 guy, no kills, saved the fearless wound.  

hunters-kill 2 orks.

orks-still fall back, lootas 20 shots, kill the rest of the blood letters.

chaos-assault still no kills.

game ends. orks 5 KP, hunters 0 KP, chaos 1 KP. so i tied as im in the middle.  

played a second game against the hunter. same everything. lost by 1 KP. was close the whole game. if i remembered soul grinders could fleet i would have killed his terminators. his last unit left. so 1-3-3

daemons

ok, i have come to terms with a addiction of mine, not one bad for health, per say, but bad for my wallet. now i see some people content with one or two armies, but i just cant stop wanting many armies. WH, Eldar, 'Nids, and Daemons.
this involves the later, thanks to some resources i came to get a copy of Codex: Daemons. i have a thousand point list that i have no idea of its power or abilities. plus the weird thing is that i dont like Khorne even though his aspects are the ones i enjoy the most...i love Nurgle, but his guys are expensive and are pretty under powered compared to the other powers. the bird guy( doesnt even deserve me looking up his name) is my most hated of the 4. Slaanesh holds a special place in my heart, as who doesnt love the thought of guardsmen, space marines, or even orks being tricked and killed by what they see as ultimate beauty.
   any ways i try to stave off these cravings, but this has me. i have a list and if it does well or i like them i might just get some daemons...

so heres the list.

HQ: 2x Khorne herald, chariot, blood god blessing, unholy might, chaos icon, 140/280

troop: 10 plague bearers, poisoned blades, 150
          15 Khorne bloodletters, hell blades, 240
          10 Khorne bloodletters, hell blades, furry, 170
Heavy: soul grinder, tongue, 160

total:1000

now the blessing of khorne is one of the best upgrades you can get, it gives the model a 2+ save against any Psychic attacks against him, might is +1S, chariot is +1 S, +1 T, + 2 W, + 1 attack.plus he is no longer independent character. so on the charge my heralds will be +3 S 5 attacks, so S8 attacks at WS 6. the plague bearers are for holding objectives at T5, with FNP and wounds on 4s no matter what, unless they are the same S as the T model they are hitting and get to re-roll the missed wound rolls. the Khorne are the big CC units for taking objectives or tearing through units, as they all have power weapons, and furious assault get +1 S and I on the charge. now the soul grinder is the main and only anti-vehicle unit i have, with the S 10 gun, along with its armor value 13 on front and sides. so just need to see how it goes this sat. and i will hopefully get a battle report or two for that day.     

New Orcs & Goblins

They have Just announced the release of the new Orc army book in March and will be releasing new models along with the army book. more on this when the information is available! 

games. so i played recently and heres what i got.

right, for the first game it was my orks vs. imperial guard. sorry, no battle-report. i will do one in the future, but for now know that it was dawn of war deployment, 4 objectives. in the end we tied, but i lost around 90% of my force while killing only 60% or so of his. the next game i played was against marines. same deployment, same mission with 5 objectives. this i lost 2-1. it didn't help that he had 3 terminator squads, 2 of them lightning claws, one of those has a chaplain so re-rolls on to hits on charge and re-rolls on wounds any time. still a good game. so score is now 1-2-2

Warmachine/Hordes

ok there has been a lot of talk about warmahordes, and a great deal of people play it where i game so ive been thinking about starting. the big problem is that i cant decide (besides if im even going to start) between Troll Bloods or Khador. i love Khadors warjacks, plus i think if you are going to have robots fight, why take light ones? its HUGE robots fighting, and a light one is going to get scrapped. also i love getting up CC. i Love the Trolls because of their fluff and some of their models, so im even on both. the big thing is that in the Khador battle box you get a different one then the one i like, the Butcher. plus it wont come with the warjack i love the most, the Decimator. because who wouldent want a Jack with a buzz saw the height of a man and a big cannon to, well, decimate things? other than that i love them both and cant decide... because the Trolls have the regeneration, cool looking guys, gunnbjorn who looks awsome. just not sure... any ideas?
