carving a bloody path - TS 2012

well its bin a while since iv spoken about TS  but  i have made sum slight alterations to my list. i wasnt happy  with  vect's squad  being so small  so  i put a few more wyhes in and got it back up to 9 to do this i had to shrink the beast masters so my new  beast masters squad is this

4 handlers
clawfeind
kymera x5
razorwings x4

to make up for the lack of wounds  the claw fiend can take the first  str8 shot  so as long as im in cover hell survive abit longer which means the unit will last abit longer


the claw feind will be a rat ogre as a base im gointo green stuffit a little  to try and redue the amount of ratty lookingness from the model.  iv also  tried my hand at green stuffing to add some detail to the model  ill post pis when hes done   

jump back to the far future !!!

iv been punged into fantasy quite heavily over the past few weeks with what iv been painting etc.

so back to 40k and  6th edition  firstly  plenty of rumours  knocking around the book is out in a few days and the cover is awesome which makes me want a copy lol

next the biggest  most intruiging  alteration is the allies rules  heres what we know so far

Rules for Allies
Brothers in Arms:
Join each others unit with Independent Characters and cast physic powers as if they were friendly.
Grudging Allies:
Cannot join each others’ units nor treat as friendly for psychic powers.
Unholy Alliance:
Roll at the begging of each turn if they are within 6″, if they roll a 1 they can’t do anything.

now the pic is just legible but what does it mean

brothers in arms means the armies count as 1  all USR are shared and characters can join all units
grudging alliance counts as 2 seperate armies
unholy if u ally these 2 u must roll for each allied unit  on the roll of a 1 the unit does nothin that turn


so what does this mean for my armies

firstly dark eldar as its my army that i play more than any at the moment well ill ally with eldar  this gives me access to  guide and fortune  not only that i can guide my ravagers etc etc  its gunna be filth  ill also look at what is cheaper  blaster trueborn or firedragons  ill also get some cheaper fodder troops for objectives like gaurdians

its going to be interesting  i think the units  ill take   really  are  1 farseer with council  dire avangers in transport and fire dragons

i can see why the points level will go to 2k  for base games as it will be hard to implement allies in smaller points scales

next army i will be updating is chaos marines and quite rightly  our brothers in arms are chaos deamons  we can also ally with IG orks necrons and tau

hmmm its a hard choice i think IG  may be the best choice then i an theme my list and make it like the legions of old   it also means i can take sum melta vets hydras  manticore and all the lovely stuff from the HS section 

so all in all lookking foreward 2 it!!!  gunna be filth lol

more fantasy stuff

yesterday i bought more hexwraiths  and the empire BSB for my  bus.  i also ordered the mantic revenant knights that ill be using as blackknights, i also ordered the von carstein pack  to pimp out my knights.

which means ill have the bus both hex wriath units and the terrorgheist

i need the characters and ghouls and a case and the army is ready to go :P

except everything need painting lol i have started doing the bone on a set of hexwraiths im waiting to get a wet pallete before i start doing the cloaks as with the hot weather its drying out 2 quick and im using  a mix of  black and purple.

hex wraiths!!

unfortunately  i didnt realise i had sum medium basing kit left and used small on my terrorgheist and mortis engine so i cant fully finish my initail targets. BUT  i have sprayed the riders and i thought id go thru my reasons for choosing hex wriaths for my list

thier ethereal!!
they have a special rule that when the move through an unengaged unit, that unit takes a str5 hit with no armour saves !! 
their also fast cavelry so pretty quick goin down the flanks to hit warmachines

ill be using 2 units of  5 at 2500pts  and then as the points get bigger ill try and add another rank 2 each unit

on to the model itself  iv put together the riders and the horses and found the scythes are abit finicky to get to gether  and 1 of the head as some of the helm sits on the arm but apart from that its pretty gd also the black knights in the kit as far as i can see are seperate so if u buy sum horses from a bitz site u can also use the black knights as well making this kit well worth its money

ill also be painting mine  purple with blue fire

calling from the grave gaming edition

so on the fantasy front iv finally got my self a list ready  and sorted out what i want

i have 1 vampire lord beat stick, if the points are cheaper ill take manfred coz hes a lvl4 wizard!!! with 5's across the board I7 and WS7:


my block of blackknights with the this upgrade pack, the banner bearer will have this banner:
 


ghouls will be these:                      hexwraiths are standard  GW models:   dire wolves are GW aswell:
   


last thing  terrorgheist  is GW as well:

 

but this is how the army looks so far i also have 2 little vampires on mounts as well :) 

next purchase will be more hexwraiths !!

mortis engine

its done  near enough lol iv jus got to finish the sheilds and paint the ground and its done!!!!  heres how it looks so far 

mmmm now  i believe  iv nearly hit all my targets  iv started building the  hexwraiths  theyll get finished at the weekend hopefully jus need 2 buy sum more stuff 2 base them with before they get sprayed

then i have 10 days to sit around and wait to see what happens with 40k 6th ed

terrorgheist done!!!

and here he is resplendant in all his glory
