AM BACK BABY!!!!

wat have i been doin?   well iv finished my dark eldar and entered 2 tournaments during my absence from the blogosphere  their now at a 50% win ratio which is pretty  gd and im happy with it

wats next?  well iv decided to finish my deamons of chaos and nothing  gets an army finished quicker than entering a tourny which will be held in april 

heres the list its 1750

bolt of change

how does it work?  i kno deamons are a rare army so ill go through it as per the new blog  :) 

the army has 2 split into groups    and most games ill be facing mech armies so ill split like this
group 1:  2 heralds 2 deamon princes (1 with might)  feinds crushers
group 2: everything else


synergy
with this i have 4 bolts in each   but group1 is stronger havin more heavily armoured units.  highest priority is 2 destory troops transports so that my crushers and feinds can make short work of them.  the long range and high mobility means i can swiftly move key units like the feinds heralds and princes the crushers are quite slow so theyll be a distraction unit.

keep the troops in reserve give me a better chance of winning objective missions 

ill post up my lord of change who will act as my DP with might as a step by step in my next blog

change of pace GO BA!!

i painted astorath a few weeks ago and now its time to put him up. and here he is now iv thought about the single unit selection and doing tactics but i think a ful list will work better so here we go

Hq
Astorath
librarian w/ fear of the darkness blood lance and jump pack

elites
preists x3 w/ jump packs
sternguard x10
combi melta x10
powerfist
drop pod

troops
assault marines x10
powerfist
melta gun x2
x3 units

death company x10
jump packs
power weaponsx2
powerfist 2
thunder hammerx2
infernus pistols


iv not done points on this list but i reckon its easily around the 2k mark  ok lets get down to business!!

the main purpose of this list is for astorath to make all units fearless and give them furious charge as red thirst is now on a 1-3 rather than jus 1 the problem is any opponents playing BA will also get red thrist on 1-3. hes also a chaplian so sticking him with the death comoany will give u re-rolling hits and wounds making this the hammer unit of the army

support/ synegy
support comes in the form of sternguard who drop in advance combat squad and with luck destroy 2 vehicles or cripple 1 flank of the enemies army (very gd Vs guard)  secondly support coms from the priest who give a 6" FNP bubble and spreading 3 across the army makes that 18" so all units shud get FNP as they move foreward

updates

this weekend i have painted 1 obliterator  (these are a different set that i have previously painted as i cant find the camera) again points for guesin hte paint scheme :P

tactics

the obliterator is a must have for any chaos army  their a heavy support choice and come in units of 3 :) their 75 pts each but for this u get 2 wounds 2+ armour and a 5+ inv save but the biggest benefit by far of the obliterator is the multitude of weaponry it can fire per turn
las-canon

plasma canon

multi melta

twin-linked flamer

twin-liked plasma gun

twin-linked melta gun

so you must pick 1 and the entire unit shoots that weapon so for the table that is infested with landraiders  9 blitz is a must!!!!

deployment  essentially u want to create  optimum firing lanes  by having 1 unit in each corner and 1 unit in line with the middle of the centre of the board prefferably in terrain this creates a huge bubble in which no1 is safe :P  putting obliterators in cover is a must as they are only t4 and will be focussed by any str8 weapons

synergy

because oblitz are multi purpose they work great as anti tank and anti infantry units   they also work well with lash princes  as u can lash a unit together then plasma canon them to great effect :P

new blog starting now!

Hi guys

this is the very first blog under the new banner of pimp my list  and it will include list analysis  units structure general tactics synergy etc etc  and of course plenty of filthy filthy things for winning coz winning is everything!!! 

since 40k is my main game ill start here with a unit close 2 my heart if u didnt guess from the picture their khorne berzerkers!! (although this is a pre-heresy world eater)

these guys have Ws5 with furious charge and 3 attacks all for 21 points each and a unit of 10 will easily clear out light troops such as guard tau dark and regular eldar  the main staying power of the bererkers is the powerfist so theyll need some kind of additional support

shooting you can use obliterators or havocs or any other long ranged shooting unit

CC *filth alert* adding a deamon prince with wings and lash drastically improves the power of the berzerker  and the Ws7 and 5 attacks from the prince help keep the berzerkers alive for longer as what ever is left will need 2 hold objectives OR terminators can do the job as well

they work well with a mobile army that will be driving foreward as they do need support so jump packs wings and trasnports

they arent really a  solo unit so only throw them in if they have some support or can win

a sad day for wargaming

today i decided to sell my space wolves their not gettin used and after gaming with them i jus dont wana play marines anymore so their on gum tree and iv amended my goals for my hobby:

finish my chaos marines by

painting 3 more obliterators
10 berzerkers and a rhino

then ill start my hordes by panting the warbeasts and my caster

with the money i get from the space wolves i will hopefully be able to buy a large carry case and my vampire counts ready for october  although with the amount i have to piant it may be november when i start the fantasy stuff i also need to get a carry case for the hordes stuff

october and onwards

hi guys

i thought id do a random general update   DE pretty much done jus the odd bits now to get ready for october  space wolves slowly goin thru those at the min need 2 buy more tanks for them tho :(. 

new stuff i have nearly finished buying my skorne faction and end of september and october ill get them painted up so i can start playing hordes

after that its on to fantasy and ill be starting with the bulk of the core of the army as its the cheapest mantic ghouls are great :)

that i reckon will take me up 2 christmas and january time if the vampire counts are done in time and iv had enough games then theyll go 2 the first tourny of the new year with me if not space wolves at a push but deff DE if all else fails

jimbo out
