more pictures!!!

to days  up date is a WIP  space wolves chaplian  hes  awesome   so far  i have  to highlight the armour finish the  plasma pistol possibly paint a shoulder pad up gotta check other pics first then hes done!!!

since hes a space puppy  you can have  4 of these bad boys  and wat makes them better than an ordinary chaplian prefered enemy!! not only that this prefered enemy is specific as you get to choose before the game starts  so  you can have a big tooled up unit that re-rolls against troops elites  OR infantry and get everything hehe 

disclaimer the model above wasnt built by me :) 

ps  the  mortis engine has been sprayed blak and ready to paint :P  i dont think  iv done a kit bigger than that 

Massive picture blog PT2

dinner has been eaten and im back on  it  the base  is nearly  done  iv ran into  1 rael problem  at  stage  4 it wasnt clear  but done and dusted  im now at stage 6


stage 6 is basically some skulls lol and thats the base is completed

interlude as a painter i like to paint everything every bit gets painted even if it cant be seen so when im building a model i have 2 take into consideration how arkward its gunna be so far the only thing is the sheilds and keeping both sides seperate which isnt that bad the next problem will be the stairs 

the stair way is now complete

now im ready 2 build up the final part to make this the mortis engine which is quite annoying section 18 isnt very clear but its done!!!   with the corpse master 

final note  the banshees are also  complete  that  will circle hte tower  also i havent stuckdown  the  corpe master or  the front gate as it will make it harder 2 paint 

enjoy the pics ill do the same thing when i start painting  !!

massive picture blog!!! PT1

so im gunna try a different format  with plenty of pictures  as my recent blogs hav been lacking!!  so i went and bought the  vampire counts mortis engine/coven throne and look at it.

 its a massive box for wat is 3 peices of plastic

then we have the double sided instruction manual its huge i dont think the dark elf ravager manual was that big!! but with GW maign more dual kits their guna get bigger lol

 so after much deliberation and reading and gluing im 45 mins in and up 2 stage 4 now the way these stick together means theirs quite a few regions that will be hard 2 paint so ill leave them seperate for now

time for  tea!!!  nom nom  more after that!!  in PT2  well finish the base completely  and look at wat makes this kit either the mortisengine or  coven throne

tactics article - feinds of slaanesh!!!

havet done  one of these  for ages  but ill start with a picture 4 are  done  1 more needs doing then i need 2 paint up the riders and then i have try and get 1 more from sumwhere to make it a unit of 6!! ps i will be doing once these are done a full army shot with unit break down and sperate tactica articles !!

here we go!!

 stat line ws4  str5  t4  w2  i5 a5  5+
gifts hit and run + rending 
unit type beasts


straight away we can see these are  CC monsters they have no shooting  power wat so ever  but their fast quite  strong and  have rending  theyll munch thru  most units  with ease  wounding and 3's and causing  ap2 wounds on 6+(rending)  

rending means  they can take on a dual  role  on the battle field  hitting  support tanks  like  hydras/manticore/razorbacks  etc  or  long fangs/devs   deamons generally struggle with  high AV like landraiders  so being able to throw  36 dice at a tank  with no extra modifiers is really gd 

the unit size i find most effective is  6 with 1 having +1 str  so they can bust thru landraiders easier as mentioned above  their quite cheap as well  30pts a model  for all this is well worth taking atleast 1 squad   maybe 2 :P

downsides  the  5+ save means theyll be whittled down quite quickly  so its best to keep htem out the way on the flanks OR  have them in range of the fate weaver the turn they come down  so they have a better chance of surviving

u can add more wounds  with a herald on  seeker  OR have 2 heralds if ur that way inclined 

chaos invasion 6th ed codex rumours round up

rite  were about 2 or 3 months  away  from 6th ed and the new chaos codex  so heres the rumours  so far!!  their in no specific  order  and  ill jus  give my  2 penneth  on them  wat theyll do for chaos players and the game in general 



- Mark-specific vehicle upgrades reminiscent of the 3.5 Chaos Marines Codex may appear, such as Poisoned flamers for Nurgle, higher strength/lower AP weapons for Tzeentch, Sonic weaponry for Slaanesh and "brutal blades" for Khorne.

this i think is  a great idea  it means  that for those who do mono  armies their vehicles can be tied in and given the appropriate mark  rather than jus a red/blue/brown/pink  paint job

- New specific differences between Raptors and "Chaos Assault Marines". Raptors now a new cult for Night Lords Legion and "Chaos Assault Marines" being available to all Legions and markable.
 this one is specifically  for  the  night lords fans  as  most  night lords armies were made redundant  when the 4th ed codex came  out so im sure theyll be happy  to see this addition.

Troops choices will be Chaos Space Marines and Cultists -  this is going back to older codex's  giving players more choice so well see different build's  alot of the new codex's  are following this trend take  GK for example
All Cult Marines are Elites
Special Characters will unlock Cult Marines as troops (Kharn for Berserkers and so on) - these  2 are very interesting  very similar to  the SM codex  in that  a HQ  not only changes the FOC  which is becomming more and more common  in newer codex's it also makes lists more interesting (this maybe bcoz phil kelly wrote the codex)
Typhus makes Cultists into Zombies - this is a apoc rule  im thinkin this will become more popular as well with chapter approved  units  from FW maybe tournaments will start lettin ppl use Fw that be awesome :P
Chaos Dreadnaught is removed and replaced with a new unit (like how pariahs were replaced with Lychguard) im not sold on this as  iv heard rumours of a plastic  dreadnought  being done for the starter kit  so well see 
CSM now get a Flyer a Mechanical Chaos Dragon (model is done will be part of initial release) again their are rumours knocking about for this  but i not sold on it i kno its different to regular marine stuff and u can argue  the fluff for ever  but well see how phill kelly handles  it  id like to go with suthin like its a deamon possessing a vendetta gun ship and then turning it into a different shape 
Lesser and Greater Demons are gone not surprised really  by this  with 2 seperate codex's  and the rumours that  its goin 2 be like  the SM codex style  wise
Spawn replaced by “Fell Beast” i think thats  the FW  beastie  

Rules for Traitor Guard are in! 

Codex author is Phil Kelly  cant ask for a better writer  than phill kelly  hes the best that GW have
Chaos Cultists are available in blob squads into the thirties...  like guard  squads 
Certain Named Characters grant various USRs and other special rules to Cultists when selected.  this has been mentioned above  and is like the SM codex

"On HullPoints: If a vehicle has 3 hull points it will die after 3 shaken results, but it can still explode after 1 shot as normal.  this is a weird 1  if u have 3 hull points  wat about things like demonic possession?  if  thats still in vehicles will last ages  and GK  if they can keep casting  fortitude then theyll last for ever as well

On Assault: All cc weapons have AP values in 6th similar to what was in the fake 6th ed rule book leak. this is also a strange  1  it makes  weaker  armies even weaker  for example  if a chain sword is ap5  then  an entire squad of  assault marines  will ignore armour u wont need power weapons

On the flying Dragon thingy: Imagine a dragon made of "fire" and coverd in a platemale armor and you won't be too far off. That is the best discription I can give. Some of the concept art shows it mauling a valkyrie mid flight. It is pretty cool.
But I've said too much! "  like  above  it makes sense  hmmmmmm  not sure  dragons maybe OTT in 40k but well see wat phill can do :P

deamons photos and awesomeness

hex wraiths 

bone as above
one rider  will be  white  with a crown and bow to represent conquest
one  will be  red to represent war  if i can find a large sword even better
one will be black to represent  famine  i jus need 2 find sum scales  or make a set
one will b green or a yellowy decay colour to represent death  and hell be carryin 1 of the scythes

as the unit is a unit of 5 (for gaming purposes)  ill paint the other standard colours from the box
