Battle Report: 2 Days, 2 Games

Posted on January 22, 2012 07:00 am by Thor

Let’s get right to it. Wednesday I got to play a practice team game for tomorrow’s team tournament at my FLGS. I partnered with a Daemon player and we played against two Blood Angels players. I was running Chaos with the following list: http://cmdctr.net/lists/678. In my typical fashion I’ll cover these games in broad strokes.  Read more...

Battle Report: Team Game with Chaos

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

Wednesday 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...

Battle Report: Planetstrike – The Forgotten Expansion

Posted on December 22, 2011 09:34 am by Thor

I recall when Planetstrike was due out how excited I was to try it. That was just about three years ago and I had only played it twice despite owning the book. Last night though at my FLGS almost everyone decided to play Planetstrike.  Read more... (1150 words, 1 image, estimated 4:36 mins reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Wrap-up Pictures

Posted on November 20, 2011 02:32 pm by Kamui

Well, as I mentioned in my last post I’ve not managed to paint 2000 points of Reavers by the end of summer.  I did manage to get 1850 by the Standish Standoff, and I’ve been happy with the performance of what I’ve got.  I did struggle in the last game against Stealthy Stealth’s orks, but my shooting rolls were horrendous so I can’t really blame the list.  I also made a couple of mistakes throughout the day but I came in 11th for battle points with two wins and a loss.  Here’s a few pictures of what I’ve finished, as well as the Thunderwolf Cavalry I’m working on:  Read more...

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Quick update and more fluff

Posted on November 17, 2011 07:02 am by Kamui

Hello all,

As summer is past, it’s high time I make a call on my summer challenge.  I have to admit defeat as I have not achieved my goal of a fully painted 2000 point army.  I did manage to get 1850 painted to tabletop standard in time for the Standish Standoff at XRD (my FLGS.)  I’ll post a summary of my experience there and some army pics tomorrow.  So I didn’t hit my goal, but at least it wasn’t a complete failure.  The final crunch did force me to simplify my painting a bit which is a good approach for the average troops.  A full army with a simple paint job looks a lot better than a couple of well painted models in a sea of primer.

I’ve written up the third and final chapter of the Reavers’ origin.  For those of you who missed them, or just want a refresher, here are the first two parts:

Reaver Origin Chapter 1; Reaver Origin Chapter 2

And now, on to the new fluff!  Read more... (689 words, 1 image, estimated 2:45 mins reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Quick update and fluff

Posted on September 14, 2011 07:33 am by Kamui

Hello all!

I know I’ve been absent for some time, but I have been making slow progress on painting and haven’t really felt like I had much to post.  I am four marines away from competing my core of Grey Hunters and will post a group shot when I get there.  I’ve also started on a squad of Long Fangs to break things up, pics of them will be posted when they’re finished.  For now I’ve written the second half of the origin story for the Reavers.  If you don’t remember it or haven’t read it the first half is here:   http://creativetwilight.com/2011/07/kamuis-summer-challenge-2011-reavers-origin-part-1/

Now on to part two:  Read more... (708 words, 1 image, estimated 2:50 mins reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: More pics

This gallery contains 9 photos.

Since I wasn’t able to participate in ‘Ard Boyz today, and those who did are probably not going to post anything tonight, I thought I’d toss up a few close-ups of the Grey Hunters:  Read more... (35 words, 9 images, estimated 8 secs reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: One Down…

Posted on August 12, 2011 02:34 am by Kamui

Ok, so the summer is slipping away and I’m far from finished with my army.  The Bjorn conversion took a lot more time than I’d expected.  The good news is that I’ve finished the modelling I need to field my list, and the paint scheme I’ve chosen lends itself well to batch painting.  I have one full squad of Grey Hunters finished and a bunch more underway.

Below are some pictures of the first squad finished, 10 Grey Hunters with 2 Plasma Guns, one Mark of the Wulfen, and one Wolf Standard:  Read more... (202 words, 4 images, estimated 48 secs reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Falling behind

Posted on August 3, 2011 07:06 am by Kamui

Hello all,

Raimos, my counts-as-Bjorn conversion, has taken a little longer than I had hoped, putting me about a week behind on the rest of the army.  The good news is that I’m happy with the way the model is coming together so I think it’s been worth the delay:  Read more...

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Reavers Origin Part 1

Posted on July 29, 2011 05:01 am by Kamui

Imperial records contain very little about the Black Wolf Space Marines.  What is known is that they were once a Great Company of the Space Wolves.  The Black Wolf Lord, whose name is not indicated in the archives, was rewarded for heroic service in battle with command over Herjolfsnes.  A recently rediscovered planet on the southern fringe of Space Wolf territory, scans of Herjolfsnes indicated a population of nomadic tribes and rich mineral resources.  The entire company set off on a crusade to claim this jewel for the Space Wolves.  Early transmissions from Herjolfsnes indicated that successful contact had been made with the natives and that construction of a planetary defense base had begun.  Several months after the landing all transmissions fell silent.  In time, scouting ships were sent to investigate but no sign could be found of Herjolfsnes or the Black Wolves.  Although it is possible that the Sagas of the Space Wolves contain more information about the Black Wolves and their fate Imperial inquisitions into the matter have met with nothing more than veiled references to the Black Stone.  Read more...

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Bjorn Again

Posted on July 21, 2011 04:51 am by Kamui

Hello all,

In my last post I included pictures of the pilot for my counts-as-Bjorn dreadnought, Raimos Sun-fist.  This model is based on an AOBR dread but I wanted something more distinctive for something that represents a Bjorn equivalent so I decided to replace the front of the model with the gunner cockpit from an Eldar Falcon and make the pilot visible.  This is the result so far:  Read more...
