Hobby: Plague Champion 2 Complete (Pics)

Posted on January 9, 2012 08:07 am by Thor

Nurgle IconFinally got this guy wrapped up and I’m pretty pleased with how he came out. I’m one of those people who paints based on value and position. Meaning my HQs and elites see more love than troop choices. However, with my Plague Marines in general I’ve spent more time on them then I would a normal Chaos Marine. My Sarges/Nobs/Champions always get more time then the rest of the unit but still not as substantial as other models I’ll paint for the army.  Read more...

Tournament Report: Kill Team

Posted on January 5, 2012 08:32 am by Thor

Kill Team - Ruined CityEvery few months we run a quick Kill Team tournament at my FLGS. There’s always a good showing and last night we had 16 of us for it. The last time we did this I ran five Chaos Terminators and got smoked in all three games. This time I opted for seven Plague Marines with two plasma guns. I gave one plasma gun infiltrate, one relentless and a bolter guy slow and purposeful.  Read more... (632 words, 1 image, estimated 2:32 mins reading time)

Painting: WIP Plague Champion & Magnet Mounter

Posted on January 4, 2012 08:54 am by Thor

NurgleThis Plague Champion is the final model in this particular unit and he’s close to completion. Though further from completion are shots of his arms which are magnetized. I took the shots not so much to show the arms as the simple setup I have for the magnetized arms. The ‘arm holder’ is just some scrap stuff glued together with magnets on the end of the T. It’s great for holding the arms to prime, seal, let dry when using washes and to ensure my magnet polarity is always correct.  Read more... (92 words, 5 images, estimated 22 secs reading time)

Command Center: Free army list building tool for Warhammer 40KThis was a feature I had put off for a while because honestly it was a pain in the ass to make work correctly.

Battle Report: Team Game with Chaos

Posted on December 30, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

Battle Report - ChaosWednesday night at my FLGS I played a team game. January’s tournament will be a team game with 1,250 per-player and random pairings. The force org is restricted to avoid breaking it and make pairings easier. It’s 1 HQ, 0-1 elite, 1-3 troops, 0-1 fast attack and 0-1 heavy and you can add 1 more to any of the 0-1 selections. In my continuing effort to test things out with Chaos I brought this list, the same one I used last week: http://cmdctr.net/lists/611.  Read more...

Posted on December 29, 2011 08:24 am by Thor

Year in Review 2011I thought it would be interesting, to me if nobody else, to make use of all the match data that I keep. I’ve played for just over five years now and have recorded every game. So, let’s see how I’ve progressed, or digressed as the case may be, over those years.  Read more... (933 words, 1 image, estimated 3:44 mins reading time)
