Gawd...I Love Fridays

And now I will enjoy a Saturday that I drop off my daughter...

To be honest I do not enjoy a day like that...watching her leave with her mom really gets to me...but I know that I will see her the next Wed...so I go on with my day...

But on the bright side is after I drop off my daughter I am heading to the FLGS for an Apoc game...and I am bring out the Marines...Roughly Translated One Full Battle Company...and a Crusader Army that comes out to be over 10k worth of Marines and points...that is also not including the Space Wolves I have...which most are painted...I think I can squeeze out 2k worth of Wolves on Foot to take the brunt of the first wave...

I found out last night that I have 25 SM Terminators and 5 more SW terminators...I am thinking of Teleporting most of them down in the rear of the enemies armour and ripping into them with Storm Bolters and Thunder Hammer/Chainfist Combos...haha

But I guess I will see how well I do tomorrow...Because I dont even know if I will get a teammate or will it be me against the store...haha

Another Win against the Wolves of Fernis

Silly wolves with their Leadership 8...I dropped my Sternguard squad and Terminators and brought in a Grand Master and 4 Grey Knight Terminators...Threw them in a Crusader with Cassius attached to the unit and it was a hard hitting unit indeed...Unfortantly I left the unit to far to the right to kill a lot of stuff but the 3 units they did touch all died before they finally got killed off one at a time over the course of the the 5 turn game...haha

4 Tact Squads in Rhinos, 2 Sniper Squads with Telion, an Iron Clad Dread, Crusader with Cassius the GK Termies ate up my 2k list...but they held their own and the snipers were a great distraction...I was able to distract two Grey Hunter squads with one 5 man sniper squad in the woods for 4 turns...by the time he took one of them for his own home objective which was contested by me and holding my own with no issues the game was about over...

He was down to about 12 Grey Hunters through out his whole army and 10 or so blood claws and the Grey Hunters were strung out between 3 squads...all I lost was the command squad and a squad and a half of Tactical marines with those scouts in the woods...1/3 of my army to a majority of his...

But he was a great sport about it...and seeing that he is still learning the game he made a few mistakes but the rolling was not in his favor in that game at all...

Also I got a good chuck of my supplies I think I will be needing to make my first Warhound Titan...Hopefully I can start on it this week...but I will see how it goes...

Everyone have a great week...because I sure as heck will try...

Gawd...I Love Fridays

Well another week has gone by...another week older...another week wiser...

For example I found a new project...something to do on the side of all my painting and what not...

Titans...

of course everyone does a titan or two on their blogs...but the only ones that show a finished ones are usually the ones from FW...not the Scratch built ones...and seeing that I am on an extremely tight budget...I would have to do a scratch built one...

Lets see if I can actually finish one...haha

The New BA Codex Games

Well last Saturday I got two games in with that Leaked Verson of the new Blood Angels codex...I dont care if it is not the actually thing...heck I doubt it myself...

It is more or less the Regular Space Marine codex only real difference is the Assault Marines are now troops...scouts are now I think Elites...but scoring...so on and so forth...The Veterans are just as many power weapon weilding maniacs...and the honour guard are an upgrade from the veterans meaning you just buy the tech preist, sang priest and banner man...

First game it was a 3 on 3...and I took Seth which gave everyone in my army FC, Rage and something else...which means if you take Seth make sure you take Tactical guys in a rhino and do not let them out or they run away from the objectives...luckly I had two other team mates to sit on them while I just tore into the other three armies...a necron, a Chaos marine, and an IG player...I killed with my list over 1/2 of the other armies...combined...it was awesome...but on the flip side when the game ended I was down to Seth and his honour guard and about 3 assault marines...haha...and none of the Honour guard were dead...came in on that Storm Harbinger on turn 3 or 4...and ate stuff...

Second game was a 2 on 2...Brought in that Librarian Dread from a Drop Pod...killed half a squad of necrons with powers and then got eaten alive by two tomb spiders...who were both down to one wound a piece...then the assault squads came in and well...they called the game on lack of time...sure we had about an hour before they closed...I hate it when they do that...just finish the game...I would finish the game if you were smacking me around too...

Soo...Honestly I still took my two tact squads and all in all the only real difference from my lists is less Tact Squads and more Assault Squads...and I brought in more power weapons in one squad then my army has in general...haha...

Gawd...I Love Fridays

I am just a bit peturbed that I got a letter from someone at GW saying I needed to take down the information I had up about the leaked codex...

There were not exact prices or points up...a generalized rule idea...nothing word for word...

But hey I am just surprised I got it about 3 hours after I first posted that...

I want to see them try and stop my from using the Codex tomorrow baring any bad weather...haha...

That Fabled Leaked Codex...

Well darn...

Gawd...I Love Fridays

Had a decent week so far...got 4 full tactial squads painted up and ready to go...painted up shoulder pads so the different companies...3 5th company squads and 1 6th company squad...4 rhinos were also painted up and ready to go...

Which means I should have a whole company of marines done sometime before april at this rate...But this would mean I would not have my Assault Marines for the BA codex release in March...or whenever it comes out...

Thought ahead on this one...Why not use the same paint scheme....haha

I KNOW BRILANT RIGHT...

Well until the next post...have fun

30 More Marines...

Well I have 4 Tactical Squads painted up and ready to go as of this morning around 4 am...This includes 5 Sargs to choose from and 5 Heavy Weapon marines painted up and ready to go...

on top of the other 11 guys already painted up...gives me a total of 42 Marines painted up and ready to go...I would love to post a picture of the basic Table Top Marines for everyone that actually follows this blog...

but the camera battery is charging and so is the cell phone...haha

Sooo...31 Marines equals 31 points to add to the total...

I also have 5 Rhinos ready for a paint job over their primer colors...I think I might meet my goal by April for this entire year...haha

Chaulk up another loss for Team Awesome..

Wait you say...I thought you were on a winning streak...Well against most armies at the worse I can pull out a draw...but nids...nids seems to be my one real bane...I am more or less forced to take a powerfist just to force a wound on those monsterous creatures...T6 for most of them...

Now I know if you are reading this you are thinking...Quit complaining...or what about Warriors and bla bla bla they are all T4...

Sure I will agree...but the three nid players around here...they do not play T4 armies...the only thing less then a T5 in their armies are the swarms...Not even my Multi-meltas can instant kill a T6 guy...unless they are on their last wound...and that is another thing...T6 with 4 or more wounds...really...what the heck man...and then they poop out whole squads of swarms every turn if possible that can move...shoot and assault the same turn they come in...REALLY...COMMON MAN...and you can have three of those things on the field too...that is just a funny wrong...

And then their is their Psyhic Powers...past the test you can make a Squad WS and BS 1 now...oh my gawd...I just went from hitting thist Giant monster on a 4 to a 5...not a whole lot I know but when your tactical marines only have 1 attack anyway...no matter what...those 9 hits just went from maybe 5 to maybe 3...then I need a 6 just to wound you...yeah thanks a lot mr psyhicer...gawd...haha

But I had a fun game tonight...took out quite a few monsterous creatures...and their body guards...unfortantly it was an Loot Counters game... came out to a 2 to 1 victory for the nids...half my army did their job...the other half got slaughtered whole sale...haha...and to top it all off I did not relize I had 4 elite choices in my army until after the game...2 dreads, 1 sternguard squad and 1 terminator squad...stupid stupid stupid...haha...it was ok though...I lost both dreads to one of the Monsterous Creatures...took both of them...one being a Venerable to take him out...but boy did we...haha

I just need to come up with a list that can handle such a large number of those MC's in one go...

Does anyone have any Ideas of what weapons I can use from the Space Marine codex that might help against the new Nid codex...HAha...

Also I should have another 20 Bolter Marines set up and finished by the end of the month...not Special or Heavy Weapons...just regular Bolter Marines...I want to have enough of these guys done to have a Battle Company...all I need are 2 Assault Squads...26 Bolter Marines (7 per tact squad and 6 per dev squad) then paint up all my Heavy Weapons as Ultra Templar...4 more rhinos as I have two Drop Pods set up and ready to go...at the rate I am pumping these guys out for Table Top Ready...I can actually have it done before the Blood Angels come out...

Now if only I had the money for 4 more rhinos and 20 assault marines...haha
