Had a Blast over the weekend...

I played nothing but Blood Angels and lets put it this way...my only real effort was against Bjorn himself...not the army with him...and another BA player...

haha

Saturday I played 3 Games...the first two I was helping some new people play the game so I took it a bit easy on them...showed them how units move and fire their weapons and the such...so I purposely forgot about Feel no Pain and my power weapons and such in my army...still won but it was a bit harder...haha

3 Game was my BA army vs Bjorn and his wolves...I literally killed his entire army off...only for Bjorn to walk forward to stop everything in my army single-handlely...is that even how to spell that word...haha

his stupid 5+ invuln or Venerable status just sucked...haha

Sunday was mothers day...hope everyone spent it with a mom...haha

Monday got 2 games in...First was my BA vs a mixed army of Eldar and Tau...I got worried but in the end only lost 3 kill points for my entire army...granted there was only 7 units left in my army but that was enough for 1 guy per squad and the two dreads...haha

Monday night I learned that when playing against another BA player who played nothing but Death Company...get the charge off...and do not get charged...haha

I saw what happens on the recieving end of Blood Talons...A DC Dread w/Blood Talons took out a 10 Man Assault Squad and Sang Priest in one turn...by himself...haha

stupid fleet...haha

But turn 3 allowed me to charge him...and it came down to my 2k army only had 10 kill points and I had my two dreads left on the field...he had just 2 rhinos and a DC squad left...he got 8 Kill Points I got 10+...but I lost a heck of a lot more guys...haha

All in All it was a great time...everyone had fun...and I learned not to get charged by BA armies...haha

Blood Angels ROCK MAN...

Honestly...I felt this way after my 3 games today...my second won may not have been a win...but dear gawd man...if sisters of battle had a phase out number like the necrons did...I would have demolished them too...

Well I played 3 Games earlier today...so 4 all together with the new BA codex...the first 2 today were team games...a 1 vs 1 vs 1...3 way battle and a then a 3 on 3...both were at 1k each...so I took Death Company with Lemartes, a 5 man assault squad w/powerfist and melta pistol a Reclus Chaplain w/jump pack, Libby Dread, and a whirlwind...second game I dropped the whirlwind and brought in sniper scouts...

First game was a pretty close game...but in the end I killed of the orks guy arm and had one objective and contesting the other...againts the necron guy who did not take a single hit...haha...I was to focused on the closer guy...ie the orks...he did a good job...BBBBUUUUTTT...my death company ate up everything they touched before the died...and then Lemartes took a hit...then then charged...it was AWESOME...Strenght 6...Initiv. 7...FREAKIN SEVEN MAN...with SEVEN ATTACKS ON THE CHARGE...oh...my...gawd...he was a beast...tore up some nobs...then the Furioso Dread came in to play with his Blood Talons...he finished off the rest...bye bye killer kans...

Second game was the 3 on 3...my BA and two Eldar against Necrons, SM and Sisters...Eldar guys took out about a squad each from the other side...I took out over 1/2...of the 3 armies combined...Blood Talons are now going on atleast one Dread from now on...PERIOD...END OF STORY TYPE THING...

but we still only tied that game...we would have lost had the Blood Talons not taken out enough Necrons to make them phase out and have the monolith disappear...turn 5 Deep Strikes right next to contest...luckly...he did not teleport any squads to the Monolith or we would have lost...I took out all but 4 Necrons in his entire army...including the Monolith...it was awesome...but he was a new player and only had about 1k worth of Necrons...the sisters did worse...silly faith points...only work if you surivive...haha

The sisters player brought 3 Penete Engines and the Inquisitor Lord Special Character in the walker body...I killed all 4...the Space Marine player brought 4 dreads...I took out 2 of them....oh my gawd...it was awesome...

But the Second game was a tie...

the THIRD HOWEVEVER...

1 vs 2...1500 per side...

BA at 1500 vs 750 orks and 750 Chaos marines...

and lets just say...by the begining of turn 3 the only thing left on their side literally was the defiler...

I kid you not...my assault squads and Dreads killed everything they could touch....took Sang Priest per assault squad...2-10 men squads w/powerfist and melta pistol...2 libby dreads, DC squad w/Lemartes, DC Dread...Reclus w/jump pack...it was a massive death wave against them...I lost my DC Dread, 2 sniper scouts and 2 assault marines...to their entire army...

it was Capture and control...begining of turn 3 it was done...like I said all he had left was the defiler...he had a Chaos Champion running off the board with what was left of a Loota squad of orks...both were within 6 of the DC guys I had that set up just right...haha if not my assault squad would have finished off the lootas and the DC would have killed the one Chaos champion...

they did a great job...and the mark of Tneeztch is nothing to laugh about...I have never seen someone pass so many 5+ invuln saves...oh my gawd...haha...but the libby dreads were awesome...

the 2nd game I had my libby dread with no arms sitting on my home objective with the 24" bubble of fear test...haha...to bad it does not work against vehicles...haha...that was an awesome trick...

3rd game I had my libby dread shut down the Deamon Princes powers with his hood of doom...I just had a blast and the guys I played...had a blast too as they saw the BA codex in its full force...they saw where the messed up and I pointed out where they could have done better...they even pointed out where I could have done even more damage...and by-george...they are right...haha...I am glad I got a good group of gamers...they make the game even more fun...win or lose...I have fun and so do they...

I need to find my Digital Camera...

I got an Apoc game set up for not this coming up saturday but the saturday after that...ie the weekend I do not have my daughter...haha

Myself and another guy will be bringing out SM armies against all comers...15-20k verus however many the other team can put together...which means I need to work on my Warhound titan...if I can get it done in two weeks I sure as heck will be bringing it...but I am not holding my breathe...haha...but that would be awesome a plastic card titan plus however many points we play against whoever shows up...I got a few people already agreed to show up...about 6k so far...hopefully we can get another 10k or so more to show up...it will be awesome...worse case we only get to play 8k vs 8k...I think it will be a blast...as this will be this FLGS first Apoc game...so who knows...

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...

Got another Sarge Done...

Quick and tabletop ready...literally...haha

I seem to be running my Sarges for the Ultra Templar with a Powerfist and Plasma Pistol...both seem to make their points back within 2 turns or so...sooo I see no need to swap out items as of yet...

Basic idea of a Squad is a Sarge w/Powerfist, Plasma Pistol, 9 more guys a Melta and a Heavy Bolter...or a Multi-Melta if I am facing more then one Land Raider...or more then two tanks...I hate tanks...and tanks hate me Double D6...haha everyone wins...except those tanks...

Also Jawaballs is right a Baal Predator can take out a Land Raider...I dont know if I said that the other day...or heck if I told you about my game against the Blood Angels guy...Turn one...I lost my Land Raider to Rending...I was shocked...and amazed...but hey if you can't afford to loose the vehcale then you probably did not need to bring it...haha...Still won the game but it made the game that much closer...haha



Pic of the side view of the Sarge...9 more guys to go and I will have 3 tact squads painted up with the 10 snipers...I am thinking of painting up some Assault Marines...see how that goes...I need to get back on track with my Soul Drinkers too...

Infantry points for Jan: Total = 6

On a Roll of Awesome Dice...

Well lately my games were a bit of a hit or miss...either I tied or got all our slaughtered...so like many people I bought a new set of dice as my awesome dice set were dying on my more then I would like them to...

and low and behold since last monday back in 2009 against a Chaos Khorne List with Kharn himself at 2000 points against my Ultra Templar 2000 point list...all I lost was 4 assault marines my Chaplain in Terminator Armour and that was it...whole...sale...slaughter...I even attacked the Chaos guys...it was great...haha

Kharn jumped out of the Land Raider as the Drop Pod came down and got hit with a Melta shot point blank and 16 some odd rapid fire bolters...it was awesome...why so much focused fire on one guy...well first off I had a Kharn model...painted up quite nice too thank you...and he was a beast in Close Combat...whole squads would die painfully...second...well the land raider just got popped by my Crusaders Multi-Melta and wrecked...then to top it all off...the squad of Bezekers right next to him were also rapid fired to death so he was the only target in range...it was fun...

The other day on Saturday I went up against a Necron Player who does the Warith Wing of doom...tied them up with an Ironclad Dread for 4 turns as my other guys took out the warriors...it was fun...we made it to the end of turn 5 I finished off the last of his 75% of guys thus making him phase out...so no need to roll for turn 6...haha

Next game was against him and another necron player...with me and a Nid guy and another SM player...3k vs 3k...lets just say Telion and their snipers made their due back by taking out a whole squad of heavy destroyers turn one...turn two they finished off the destroyers...turn three the other heavy destroyers...turn 4 anything they could shoot at...it was great...my 138 points really made them selves back up...3+ cover save for the win...haha...once again able to phase him out...but at the end of turn 4...both of them at the sametime...Drop Pods are my new favorite item of doom...rapid fire into the warriors and laugh at them as the remaining ones get assault by assault terminators...haha

Sundays game was a 3 way battle royal...one how these work two guys duke it out and the third comes in for the win or it turns out to be a 2 on 1 game...well this one was not...nids vs chaos vs me and my awesome marines...haha

chaos was able to take out two monsterous creatures I took out another one...and finished off chaos as chaos took out a tactical squad...scouts shooting the hell out of everything...it was great...

I tied with the nids that game...

Last Night was a blast as well...2k Me vs 2k BT...it was capture and controll the other guys base one...I even brought in some assault marines for the killing in close combat...all they did was use bolt pistols and the plasma pistol in the squad...(he died by the way...) but by the end of the game I had my scouts and sternguard still in my base and my entire army that was left (which was a lot) in his...only thing left of his on the field was a wrecked dreadnought and his Marshall and command squad in a Razorback racing towards my base to contest it...unfortantly I forgot to move my entire army the second turn so we had to go the whole five rounds...haha

dont worry...he forgot to move his razorback on turn 4...haha

Quick updates and what not...

First off...what is it...23 days till Christmas...thankfully I had started Christmas shopping for my daughter in August...so I have about half a dozen presents for her...which is a good thing as I have not been able to go back to the office...which sucks as a giant paycheck would be perfect...le sigh on the lack of job...But thankfully I have unemployement which helps pay the bills...

But I have gotten back my Land Raider Crusader...and man am I loving that thing...move 12 inches...fire both Hurrican Bolters and either the multi-melta or assault cannon...but not both of them...or move 6 inches and fire every weapon I have on that thing at two targets...it is great...throw in some assault terminators with a Chaplain and let the power weapons roll...haha

Also on a side note...Some of you may have relized I have a truck load of other 40k Blogs on the right side of my own blog here...if you have one that is not on this list...email me at jokerjr101@yahoo.com with some sort of title in the message about this blog so I won't mark it as spam...and I will be more then happy to add you to the ever growing list...I may be a small blog but every window helps...haha

Last thing

Got in two games last night...both 2k games each...

First one was my Soul Drinkers vs Black Templar...halfway through turn one I relized...holy shit this is a battle of two second foundings of the Imperial Fist right here...I then pointed that out and Steven said...well heck man I am going to be doing a Crimson Fist army soon and the other guy is going to be doing an Imperial Fist army...I said heck yeah...and we got back to the game...

ended up being a tie...would have lost a lot more had the Heibrich and his 10-14 man squad gotten out of their Crusader and ripped into my Soul Drinkers...haha

Second one was against the same guy but we switched armies...He went with his orks and I went with Space Wolves...lets just say the Wolf Scouts with Sniper Rifles paid for themselves as well as Bjorn and the other Venerable Dreadnought...but there was one Mad Doc...and that SOB would not die...his entire squad died...but then would not die himself...then to add insult to injury he joined another squad...luckly he ran out of turns and KP I won 12-6...silly orks thinking they could kill Wolves...haha

I will try to get some pictures of the Crusader later this week and the four rhinos for my Soul Drinkers but now that I have them painted I have a reason to paint up the rest of Soul Drinker army and start on that conversion of the Spider Commander Man guy...thingy...haha...Sharpdon that is it...haha

Most Awesome Indeed...

What is that you say...WHERE ARE THOSE IRON WARRIORS...

Well it is 3:30 am and my first one is finished on top of my Leman Russ that I have been sitting on since...oh they first came out with the three new guns...haha

Also a few pictures of Saturday's Game of my 2k SM army of Soul Drinkers against a 1k army of Nurgles Finest and another SM player of DOOOOM...haha...silly loyalist...

This is a Picture of my Chapter Master running with who is left after 3 squads I slaughtered...I lost two men out of the squad but I killed more then enough of their men...and after this picture was taken I took out two more squads...The Chapter Master was getting pissed...he never got to hit a thing...the multiple Twin-Lightning Claws on the charge killed a lot of stuff...

I MEAN A LOT OF STUFF...



At one point I had a 10 man tact squad get charged by a 7 man nurgle squad...I went whole sale slaughter on him...after he attacked I threw my 11 attacks back at his toughness 5 and said...there take your 6 hits back...well he killed 4 right there...haha it was sad...but he was fearless so I did not get to sweep him off the board right there...which ment I spent two more turns on 2 guys...it was sad to finally finish him off and have no one left to attack...haha



Towards another spot I ran into every other nurgle guy there was in reach...plus the deamon prince...so more or less threw guys into the grinder...and boy did I die by the droves...luckly they were all combat squads and I would only loose a guy or two per squad per round...so leadership tests were a bit easy...



But my Cassius Model made a big difference against that Deamon Prince...Sternguard all died but the Sergeant on the first turn...and then he never got to hit anything...should have used him on the Deamon Prince as I used him on a squad of plauges and killed the last 3 guys on the charge...haha...

-----------------------------------

Also here is the first of the Iron Warriors







Soooo...tell me what is up...do you like it...

he is the test model so you should know I am reprime him black and start over...haha

Death to the well...everyone but me...

HAHA...had a blast over the weekend...and even got to play a game Tuesday night...

First off...

Thunderfire Cannon is my new best friend for 100 points in a game that has, IG, Tau, Orks, anything that has a truck load of people in it...

I used that on my first game Saturday...took out half a squad of IG guys...then the Cannon was hit by half a dozen long distance shots from that same IG guy...I still say he did not have line of sight...why you ask...I was behind a wall...literally...but whatever...Techmarine walked away and torn into his team mate with his servo-harness and took out a Necron Lord...it was very nice to watch that...

Played a few other games with the Thunderfire Cannon that day...very useful...as well as my two Land Speeders...great for a distraction...I just need to figure out the best weapon combo...I went with Heavy Bolter, Heavy Flamer or Mulit-Melta...but the first game saw them destroy a whole tact squad of Space Marines the second game saw them blown up after a turn of shooting...all the other people on the other team (3 vs 3 game) used every shot they had to take them down...that was a lot of shots let me tell you...and they never blew up either...ended up having one with a Heavy Bolter sit there taking pot shots at everything around it each turn...

Which means Land Speeders are a hit or miss really in my SM army...

Sundays games saw me bring out my Land Raider Redeemer...(which was really a Land Raider...but I proxied it as a Redeemer...) and let me just say...that Strenght6 AP3 Flamer really roast some orks...I threw in some Assault Terminators with Twin Lightning Claws and a guy with TH/SS plus a Chaplain in Terminator Armour and they took out a whole squad of Tank Bustas...and Lootas...it was a truely magical experience...

Second Game on Sunday saw me just form gun lines and rip into well nothing really...I got stuck with a guy on my team who cannot make an army list to save his life...he had 750 points to use...he ended up with a Sential...Valkarie...2 Veteran Troop squads...his cheap HQ...and that was it...is that 750 points...no...because nothing was maxed out...nothing...

ehh no worries...I threw my guys at a squad of Khorne Besekers...they killed the guys as they died...it was great...snipers took out the Khorne guys that survived...only for them to die before the Sternguard could get to their help...only for the sternguard to die before the IG guy was able to well...do anything...haha

that game was a screw around game...40k in 30 minutes really...

Everyone had a plan of letting the IG guy win...and he did...HE KICKED BUTT...because people kept disappearing from squads...don't know how that happened...haha

Tuesdays 4k game of 2 on 2...1k a piece was a bit more fun...I played SM with Cassius and a Grey Knight Grandmaster with Terminators in my Redeemer...Sternguard, scouts, and tact guys...my team mate had Witchhunters I think...we lost...but barely...Sternguard took out a Deamon Prince with Rapid Fire poisioned rounds that wound on a +2...hit on a 3 wound on a 2...it was great...sternguard died before some Emperors Children though...that was not cool...haha

all in all...I would say I got 4 wins 1 Draw and 1 Loss...that was a great time...

Update time...

Ok then I think I feel as though my 10 man Soul Drinker Squad is finished...I will be posting some pictures of them tomorrow as well they are at my office...and well I am at home...stupid stupid stupid... I know...

but onto other stuff...

Space Wolves DOMINATE...let me rephrase that...

The new Space Wolves can DOMINATE ALL WHO THEY GO AGAINST...Necrons, other Space Marines...it was roughly 2 to 1 odds and I still took the flat out win it was epic...

Played 3 games with them over the weekend...First one was an objective game...two grey hunters with a blood claw pack and a predator tank...HQ with some snazy stuff to boot...sat on my home objective with a Grey Hunter Pack inside cover without the rhino (small game could afford rhinos for everyone...haha) and had the blood claws go for the other objective as my last Grey Hunter Pack went for the 3rd objective...Kept my own objective the entire game...took the second objective and contested the 3rd objective in their starting area at the last turn...the blood claws with a Power fist ripped into 2 Space Marine squads and killed 20 tact marines over the course of the game...my second grey hunter squad that went after the other objective took out about 15 marines including a Chaplain and Captain...it was nice I know...

Second game was a 5k game per side...5 on 5 though so each person got 1k worth of points...I had the same list except all squads had a rhino and flamer basic...it was nice...took about 3 hours but with 10 people I think that was pretty quick actually...I lost about 10 men the entire game and seeing that each squad only peaked out at 7 before I added the wolf guard to the packs I think that is pretty good indeed...the counter attack rule is pretty nice compaired to the old 4th edition verson...haha a very useful trick to have indeed...

Third game was on Sunday the next day...had a friend drive down from Stateville first time we ever meet face to face knew him through rough-market and found out he lived about an hour or so from me...had him and his ork boyz come down and he was automatically on my team...

Let me say this...in this 1k game as well 3 on 3 this time... I have never seen so many orks live in a game against heavy bolters...twin linked on top of that...I think he may have lost 20 orks tops out of his entire 1k army...and he only had one vehicle...whole sale slaughter I would say...haha

And of course the Space Wolves ate everything they touched...but because of the saturday game everyone took out my three rhinos before they even got to move...it was ok I had my razorback with Long Fangs surive the entire game before being hit with anything and they took out every bit of armour that came within firing range...and the Heavy Bolters in the pack took out just chunks of infantry which was great considering it was 1 cron player and 2 sm players we were up against...haha

My Handheld Heavy Bolters that my Long Fangs were using were doing a better job then the other SM guys Twin-Linked Heavy Bolters were doing against the orks...haha

Goes to show that my Space Wolves are truely a force to be reconded with...at this rate I wont be able to play them anymore like my Chaos List with the Icon of Khorne...haha

Two Wins off the bat...Heck Yeah

...Ok I was a little worried about the price of the Assault Marines when it came to the Blood Angel codex...seeing that it is the same stats and everything...except my flamer I cannot have a flamer in my assault squads...frak...haha (one SM guy I play does his tact sqauds in rows of 5...so hit the side of the squad and you get all ten in one shot...literally...two flamers is 20 possible hits right there...plus bolt pistols and plasma pistols...then assaulting...just truely enjoyable...but I guess no more flamers for my guys...

Just have to keep them in the tact squads...haha

both games were a 1250 point game and I used the same list I came up with last night to play tonights two games...and destroyed both times...

2 Assault Squads - 10 men, Power Fist,
2 Tactical Squads - 10 men, Heavy Bolter or Multi-Melta, Flamer w/Rhinos
Chaplain w/Combi-Melta
4 Death Company Marines
Furiso Dreadnought

I used that Dreadnought to the extreme as he hit up the guardians with the storm bolter and a meltagun...then assaulted...it was great...in three turns the guardian squad was gone...el blow away with el angry dreadnought...haha

Got hit with an Iron Clad Dread that dropped poded in front of my line and was able to take out 4 assault marines before it was brought down by two different powerfist...haha

The Chaplain and his Death Company got one of the Rhinos though and was hit with 3 Hunter Killer Missiles...Jawaballs was not kidding with the DC is a fire magnet...haha...but each time each Hunter Killer Missile roll was a 6-6-1...nothing happened...it was great...Rhino kept a going and unloaded and ate everything it touched like it was suppose to...melta bomb on the back of a predator tank...from the chaplain...gone...assault the Tact squad in the rhino to the left...gone...turn to the scouts who were eaten up by my other two tact squads...it was great...

lots of fun was had by all and I think I may keep those guys there seperate from the other Marines I have and paint them a Blood Angel Successor Chapter...haha

Sundays Games...

Had a blast on Sunday playing as many games as I did...1 Chaos game which the Icon of Khorne did it's job perfectly...and then 2 more games as a Loyalist marine army...which with the second game having only 2 five man scouts as my troops and the rest as assault marines/chapter master w/jump pack and vanguard marines w/jump pack it was a real just bend the guys over the table and stick a krak grenade where the sun don't shine...haha

As it is past 3am where I am right now I am going to bed...I will try to write up the games sometime before I go out of town to Arizona for the Family Reunion...looking forward to this as I get to take my 3yr old daughter with me and dont have to worry about hearing a lot of complaining from her mother...because her mother will be in NC...with her boyfriend...I almost feel bad for the guy...

...almost...

HAHA

Later guys and gals...

OH DEAR GAWD...

The sheer numbers...ever get a chance to play an apoc game...you should...just make sure you have the time...I got a chance to use every model I had...3 Chaplains, a Librarian, 3 Techmarines more Apothocaries then you could shake a stick at and 11 tactical squads...11 man...good gawd it was great for me...over 7,000 worth of points to me alone...had two other team mates another Space Marine player with 2,500 worth of points and an Imperial Guard with 5,500 worth of men and tanks...and he had over three times as many as the other SM player and me...haha...Plus we got to use some other Titans for the Imperial Side...it was f'in sweet...

Against 15,000 points of NIDS...

Ever seen a Bio-Titan...I have...it dies real quick against two Warhound Titans...(The Warhounds were the stores and no I did not take any pictures...sorry)...

Using a giant field we lasted two full turns before they were in range to assault...well assault our first line of defense which was me of course...as I the most points so I was in the front line as well as the right side of the board holding that side...Imperial Guard in the middle and the other SM player to the left side...nids everywhere else...haha

Wave after wave of gaunts, and warriors, and everything that came in range died in the most horrible fashion...but my men knew we were just buying time...And because my men were made of sterner stuff (I guess this was before we lost so many to the Necrons and then to Chaos Powers...haha) but in the end the nids got to my first line of me...That is when I dropped in my first 10 man squad of terminators right behind them...and ate up the two other warriors squads behind the one that just assaulted me...none of them surivied...then my terminators turned around and opened fire again into more hordes...3 rhinos raced forward with a Land Raider Crusaider and tried to pick up the 10 men and get them back to our lines...I was able to save 4 of the 10 men that day...but the terminators were able to take out 4 squads of gaunts and 1 of the Mr12 shots...Powerfist for the win...haha

Moving in Reverse and firing as we go we reaped a fearsome tally...

By the third turn the left side with the other SM player was hit...almost full force...the right side where I was simply killed everything that came close to them before assault range was even meet...the men in the front...killed everything they could...and right before turn four jumped back into their rhinos and pulled back the full 12 inches...allowing them to live to turn five...but by now the nids were in range of the Flashlights of DOOM...haha...silly Imperial Guard thinking they can kil...OH MY GAWD...That is right the massed fire of 5k worth of Imperial Guard weapons killed everything...but everything was not done yet...the SM player to the left...dissappeared under waves of gaunts and warriors and everything nid...and turned their attention to the Imperial Guard...

So I did what any Space Marine Commander would have done...full out 12 inches and make a wall with my Rhinos...as the Rhinos were blown up my men just open fire killing everything that was in range...rapid fire was my friend...till the next turn...the front line Space Marines were now the Left Side Space Marines with the two or three squads left from the orginal 2500 points and my divereted about 2k as well...combined after turn 5 we had maybe 1000 points of men left...and they were dying quick...the Imperial Guard fired everything they could but not enough was killed...the Warhounds had already been taken out two turns ago after putting a nice sized dent into the Nids...or so we thought...stupid Nid rules of coming back into play from the farside of the field...stupid apoc extra rules...haha

down to about 3500 worth of SM points I charged forward...I would end up reaping a fearsome tally on turn six and even turn seven...and I surived longer then either of the two other guys on my team...but in the end...my suriving terminators made a circle...

and fought to the last...
Turn 1


Turn 6


Turn 7

My Three Wins Today...

Ah the Mark of Khorne...

The Mighty Icon of Khorne...

The tactical finesse of Khorne Bezekers...

wait did I really just say finesse of Khorne Bezekers...Indeed I did...The Ferious Charge alone made it worth their points when I charged in game one and two with them and slaughtered who squads of Astrates...ten men will fall pretty quick against 12 Bezekers...after one round in both games both squads had died and I was right behind the rhino that they just got out of...so my squad lived to kill even more...

Then my Chaos Marines with the Icon of Khorne...well lets just say 41 attacks on the charge as soon as I jump out of my rhino still does a lot of damage...haha

Chaos Lord
Terminator Armour, Icon of Khorne, Deamon Weapon, Combi-Melta
Chaos Marine Squad x10
Champion w/Power Fist
Flamer x2, Icon of Khorne, Rhino = 265 pts
Chaos Marine Squad x10
Champion w/Power Fist
Flamer x2, Icon of Khorne, Rhino = 265 pts
Khorne Berzerker x12
Champion w/Power Weapon, Melta Bomb
2 Plasma Pistols = 317

This was my list of DOOM...Those powerfist came in handy a lot...at the 1500 point game I played I threw in my 1k Son squad as well as a few terminators to go with the Lord...I enjoyed my list a bit to much...

All in All...I lost through out all 3 games maybe 4 squads...the Bezekers all three times and about 10 chaos marines through out the three games...the Lord never died...and the Terminators only slaughtered it was great hidding behind a blown up Land Raider then charging the next turn into some Warp Spiders...I did not even know what the looked like painted until today...and their color was red...I think...haha

To be or Not to Be...

Chaos anyway...

I am just loving that Icon of Khorne...I mean really, really love it...yes 30 points I could use on something else...like a Icon of Nurgle and give everyone a 1+ on toughness...make those dice a bit harder to hit me against everyone else right...or I can get an invulv save with the Icon of Tezh...WOW that would work against one guy I know right off the top thank you Mr. 12 shots you SOB...and I dont mean the sisters...But what about the other Icon...you mean the Icon that lets me hit first in Close Combat against other Marine armies and therefor almost every other army out there...*except Mr. 12 Shots family I know...*

But like I just said...hit before or get 10 more hits...

so I go back with the I love Khorne...and I enjoy placing the skulls of the Ultra Templar at the bottom of his Skull Thorne...That and my Chaplain Faust gets to kill EVEN MORE NOW...throw a little title of Lord on him and BOOM...evil man walking...

Had a chance last week to play the Chaos list...pretty much split my 5,000 point Space Marine army down the middle...my brother played my tried and true 10 win Space Marine army...complete with Terminators, Land Raider Crusaider, Whirlwind and a number of scouts and everything I could not use in my own Chaos list...but that was ok...I got a squad of 1k Sons and some Bezekers...a 7x4 board was used some buildings and walls in the middle...so on and so forth...got to use my Chaos Lord with Jump Pack with his 10 man Raptor Squad (ok...really was a 10 man assault squad...or was it 15...man I love that 5-20 man rule for chaos...haha...went up against a Chapter master with Power Sword attached to a 10 man Assault Squad with a Powerfist and a few plasma pistols...) Kept the Chaos Squads at 10 men for the game except the 1k sons at 8 (9 with the Socc)...and the Bezekers were at 12 men...

Turn one...I killed those scout snipers with AP3 bolter rounds and some flamers...they died in seconds...I can still see their little bodies burn before the might that is Chaos...even Scout Sergeant Telion died in a very very painful manner...bet he wished he joined the Terminators now for his 2+ armour save he will never get...haha...

I had completely forgot how man guns my Space Marine army had...but I guess because they were fighting men they had fought next to for so long and now had to fight against...They just could not do it...and not a single man fell...well the ones in range stayed alive...all one squad...haha...Whirlwind scattered to the far reachs off the board away from any trouble...and his Chapter Master with Assault Marines jumped forward to attack me fallen Raptors and Chaos Lord with them...but came up to short...way to short to even assault me...hehehe...

His Razorbacks fired into my Land Raider that all of the sudden could only hold 10 men...what the heck...well there was only 5 terminators in there anyway...no worries...but cover saves made those shots useless...then it was my turn...

everyone moved forward all 12 inches in their rhinos and Land Raiders...the Bezekers went the six and rolled for running making it another 6...snarling right at their uptight brothers not even 10 inches away on the board...the 1k sons...6 whole inches...They fired all their shots again...another squad minus the Sergeant with a Power Sword fell...instant death was pleasing the Dark Gods today...

By now my Raptors were in assaulting range...with two close combat weapons...plus the Icon of Khorne...41 attacks plus the Chaos Lord with only a Power Weapon *I had a Deamon Weapon elsewhere and I wanted only to try one and you will see why in a second* with his Mark of Khorne...47 attacks on the charge...a number you will see multiple times mind you...against his 10 assault marines...with their 23-25 attacks base...really now...haha...I have 36 attacks base...but I was assaulting...all my attacks were thrown...40 of them HIT...HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL...22 of them wounded...wait 18 saved...stupid 3+ armour saves...I ended up being hit a whole 6 times...5 of them were saved...THANK YOU 3+ SAVES...haha

At this point he opened fire with every bolter he had on hand...and some I dont think he did but no matter I was in rapid fire range and it was my own fault...Stupid Mark of Khorne...hehe...so many shots were fired...you know how many I lost...out of 6 squads fired into...including the Bezekers, the 1k Sons the Chaos Squads...I lost not a single man...because out of all his shots he fired...he only wounded me a messily 12 times...all 12 were saved...PAY HOMAGE TO THE DARK GODS...by the way...he had about 50 men rapid firing into me so out of 100 shots only 12 hitting me the math gods were laughing with my dark gods at this point...

Now it was time for me to assault...and assault I did...his Terminators all died before the onslaught of 40+ attacks...there is only so many times a 2+ save will save you...you still get to deal with that 1...and he dealt with it quite well I add by the way...after the Bezekers and a squad of Chaos marines 80 attacks on the charge...I made sure I was the one assaulting this whole game...I think I may have fired 3 dozen shots the whole game and those were from the 1k Sons...which ended up in Close Combat against that Lone Sergeant...who well died when he charged...I like that Invule save they got...my brother did not...By this turn the Chapter Master was alone and had killed 3 men...only to fall before his fallen brother who was now a Chaos Lord with the Powers of the Dark Gods in his hands...

By turn two every Squad that was alive was now in Close Combat...his 10 man Terminator squad had done the combat tactics to be in two places at once...and was down to three men including his Chaplain... and he was down to a 4 man Stern Guard squad and 2 tact squads...I had lost 6 men so far...he was dying by the droves...

The end of turn two and the begining of turn three was the end of of a squad of Chaos Marines to those 3 Terminators who turned around and pumped lead into the besekers who were in front of another squad of Chaos Marines...their own powerfist included...I never able to deepstrike in my other 5 man Terminator Squad and my Terminator Lord with Deamon Weapon of Khorne finally got locked into combat...with holy mother of pearl...13 base attacks now...ALL FROM A DEAMON WEAPON...this would reap a fearsome tally...and by the end of Turn Three...his army was gone...no one surivived...the Razorbacks were sitting their in smoke...his Land Raider was blown up...his own Rhinos were no more then craters...and the men...could not bring themselves to kill their fallen battle brothers...not even to save their own lives...the two Dreadnoughts tried to rally at the last turn but some well placed Melta Bombs made sure that those in their walking tombs never walked again...

I however faired far better then he did...not even 25 men were killed...out of 9 squads in the game...and not even able to Deep Strike my other Terminator Squad with Twin Lightning Claws...

I think I am just loving that Icon of Khorne...I mean really, really love it

Last Stand of Faust...

Finally Faust was taken down in a fight...10 battles and not a single failed save of any kind...but his terminators fell before the onslaught of flamers then the orks came up to finish off his squad...then him...

But not before he reaped a fearsome total...orks fell by the wayside as his weapon of choice ripped through their heads and bodies leaving none alive that it touched...the Heavy Nobs were the first to die...those that were not shot to death simply fell before the blades of the Lightning Claws and Faust's own weapons...but one by one his Terminator Armoured Brothers fell...

Finally only he was left standing and 15 some odd orks charged...only 7 walked away...



*also this picture was taken with a Camera Phone...my bad...

Something is wrong...

"I hear the calling from the warp..." Librarian Carius says to Chaplain Faust...Faust looks up from his work and says "I do to...and the call is getting louder every day...but with the loss of so many of our battle brothers the other day...a full scout squad included with most of our terminator armoured breathern...I was barely able to surive those Kinn flamers...The other Chapter with us lost their Chapter Master and his entire Honour Guard..."

Carius looks at the other Chaplain there and says "What can we do..." Marius just shakes his head and says "Very little my brothers...this loss was to large even as we rebuild...if we were atleast half-strenght we could go on...but now...even I do not know where we go...both of the other Captains that surived the Necron Hordes were lost last year...The Techmarines stay locked up in their armouries to busy repairing what weapons and armour we do have to help on the field...which I do not be-grudge them...even our apothocaries do not even come to the field of battle needed to start the next generation of scouts..."

Faust stands up and says "already I have had to confine nineteen of our veteran battle brothers and over 50 of our new scouts...50 of them...That is almost a 1/3 of the scout we have right now... out fighting force of viable brothers is 2 full tactical squads and our three dreadnoughts...I cannot even count ourselves right now..."

Carius looks at Faust and says again..."what can we do..."

Faust looks at what he was working on and spins the book around and says "Something no loyalist should ever think of doing..."

Carius eyes grow wide with fear seeing the writing in the book then looking at the three Chaplains in the room knowning that their minds are already made up...And that they have already started down the dark path...


------------------------------------

Yeah...I lost my game Sunday night...two SM chapters against a Necron/Ork army...my SM did what they were suppose to do...Kill everything they touched...and they did...but 44 flamers a turn on my terminators plus ohhh 15 destroyers will eat up anything you have...I killed off half an ork army by myself and a 1/3 of the necrons...my SM ally...died...haha...

But I died before he did...the other two guys focused on me and slowly ate away at what I had left...finally Faust in a last stand killed so many orks even the Emperor himself would have been proud...

But because the Emperors Forces Failed...I am thinking...Chaos might be the answer...as there is only one Chaos player at my store...and 3 other SM Chapters...I think I need to even up the odds in favor the Chaost Guys...haha

The Ultra Templar Versus the Necron Hordes Part 3

Well my brother and I were a tab bit bored and decided on a 10 versus 10 man battle...each guy would be able to move indepently from the rest of the other guys...simple as that...

He rolled for the win and set up first...

Moving the 6" foward and unable to hit me yet...I moved my 6" and rolled to run to make the game quicker we agree to roll one die for the entire armies run phase...got a 5...and moved the extra 5" forward...

He moved another 6" forward and took a few shots at the guys he could reach and no one died...I opened fire and took out two then charged with another guy and took out a third... which means 4 more destroyed and he would phase out...

He then moved another 6" forward took his shots and two men failed their armour save...then he assaulted...no one was killed...but on my counter attack I took out another one...

I moved the 6" forward and shot destroying nothing then assaulted...took out another one...he counter attacked and took out another marine...

I had just two more necrons to take out and make his phase out...but he attacked and killed another marine...

Somehow it ended up being 3 on 3 at this point...and he had the first move...he shot and killed a marine leave it 3-2...and then he assaulted...6 attacks on the word go...and not a single one hit...but this allowed only two hits onto him as I was not assaulting...but only counter attacking...nothing...ok my attack phase...2 more hits...blam...one down...wait...one down...he just phased out...

--------------------------

I KILLED THEM AGAIN...This one was a lot closer though...

7 Wins - 2 Draws - 1 Loss

The Ultra Templar Versus the Necron Hordes Part 2

As I have said before I have a nice little army of Space Marines...and I am not even done yet...much less painted any of them but the Ol' Terminator Chaplain...(by the way he has lived through seven battles and not taken a wound yet...but he kills a lot).


1250 Points of Necrons Vs 1250 Points of Ultra Templar

His force of Necrons consisted of:
3 - 10 man Warrior Squads
The Nightbringer
3 - Destroyers
1 Necron Lord on Destroyer Body

My Ultra Templar Force consisted of:
2 - Man Terminator Squads
2 - Chaplains in Terminator Armour - Attached to one Terminator Squad each
1 - Land Raider - Attached to one of the Terminator Squads
2 - 10 Man Tactical Squads (Missile Launcher, Multi-Melta, x2 Flamers)

Turn One:
I rolled higher but I allowed him to move first...he moved his 6" then messured and saw that he was lacking on distance...

I Moved my 6" and rolled a 4" on everyones running...which was funny...Land Raider Moved all out and Fired one of its Twin-Linked Lascannons at the Nightbringer...nothing happened there...

Turn Two:
He moved again took his Destroyers and turned to fire into my Land Raider...Two Shots Missed the other hit but did literally no damage...I looked at him and said..."I bet my guess just laughed..."

MY turn allowed me to get the land Raider up close enough to unload my terminators in there and my other terminator squad on the other side of the board was clsoe enough to assault this turn...I open fire again with Twin-linked Lascannons...and every other heavy weapon I had and took out the Nightbringer...poof...I was happy...Terminators turned to the destroyer squad took them out and the Necron Lord on Destroyer Body...other side of the field I rapid fire into the Necron Hordes and took out a few...Missile Launcher scattered away into open ground...

I then assaulted with my other Terminator Squad into a warrior squad...ripped through all of them...Power Weapons cleaving through them like there is no tomorrow...

Turn Three:
He brings back most of the ones that were shot up...including Nightbringer...wait is that even legal...ok fine...he only has one wound left anyway...I make all my armour saves when he opens fire. No one assaults me...

My turn consisted of firing the Missile Launcher again...direct hit...ordance blast covers seven guys...HECK YEAH...wait...what do you mean 4 make their armour save...SON OF A...

I assault with my two squads of terminators into the warrior squads...Land Raider puts Nightbringer down again...All but two guys are left in one squad and another squad of warriors is all that is left at this point...he should have phased out but I have not lost a single man at this point and was feeling greedy...

Turn Four:
None of his men make the WBB rolls...he rapid fires into my guys...I lose a Terminator...

My turn consisted of his brothers avenging him...ripping through the rest of the Necron Horde like a hot knife through butter...

-------------------------------

At the end of this game I had lost a single Terminator to his entire army...that is what happens when you rid out those invul saves and make them so well and those 2+ armour saves on the Terminators are soooo good...but not good enough to save that Terminator...

All in All...I would say this battle is something to brag about...32 men went in and killed a small Necron Horde...31 came out...and not a single Necron left...

6 Wins - 2 Draws - 1 Loss

The Ultra Templar Verus the Necron Hordes...

Well as you guys can tell I have a nice little army of Space Marines...and I am not even done yet...much less painted any of them but the Ol' Terminator Chaplain...(by the way he has lived through six battles and not taken a wound yet...but he kills a lot). As of last week I was able to get my brother over 2500 points of necrons for him to paint and bla bla bla...Well he finally got most of his Necrons glued together and I was able to convince him to play a game last night...

2500 Points of Necrons Vs 2500 Points of Ultra Templar

The Necrons consisted of:
Necron Lord w/destroyer body
Necron Lord
2 groups of 5 flayed ones
4 Immortals
3 Destroyers
4 Destroyers
2 Heavy Destroyers
3 groups of 10 Warriors
1 group of 7 scarb swarms
1 Monolith

It comes out to be about 2000-2100 points but ehh he said it was 2500 so I did not complain...haha...I just made my own 2500 point list

2 Terminator Chaplains w/Storm Bolters
2-5 man Terminator Squads w/Assault Cannons
1 Dreadnought
5-10 man Tact Squads (lascannon, Missile launcher, 2 Heavy Bolters, Multi-melta)

2 Land Raiders that were attached to the Terminator Squads and each squad got a chaplain to run with.



-------------------

Turn one:

His Turn:
He moved his men the 6 inches and tried to take a few pot shots...Monolith just sat there...my Armour saves saved the three shots that actually hit...

My Turn:
I fired my Land Raider with the two Twin-Linked Lascannons at the Monolith...Wreckage...period...so now it would just be terrain for the entire game...at which point I laughed and said now I just have to keep killing the robots...and I did...I really did...



Turn Two:

His Turn:
Well he was close enough to take a few more shots at me as I had moved up my last turn and took out his two Heavy Destroyers and all his Destroyers and Necron Lord on Destroyer Body...and all but one Heavy Destroyer got back up...and he Stayed to the end of the game no matter how many times I put him down...that WBB roll is sooo evil...

I lost three Ultra Templar out of 50 during this turn.

My Turn: I was able to do my Rapid Fire into two full squads with all my marines...on top of this I was able to get my terminators squads to disembarq from their land Raiders one on each side of the table...they fired into a warrior squad a piece...Faust and his squad killed their entire squad in front of them...My other Chaplain however did not kill but 3 necrons out of the squad in front of them...I also did not move them close enough to assault in this turn either which was my fault...

My Dreadnought moved up and took a pot shot and killed a destroyer again and then turned to fire the storm bolter but it miss fired and nothing happed...I can see it now...*Dreadnought fires the Multi-Melta blows up a Destroyer...turns to fire the Storm Bolter...click...click...click..."SON OF A"*

haha

Turn 3:



His Turn:
most of the necrons get back up and fire into my squads...I lose 2 more marines...and I only grin...he even fired at my Dreadnought only for his armour to shrug it off and grin...my Terminators took two full squads of warriors firing into them...I made it even easier for him and only took the invul saves on them...each shot that actually hit me was saved on the invulv saves...that was almost 20+ shots and all saved...My Terminators only grined as his 4 destroyers took their 3 shots a piece to be saved, by all but one terminator...

My Turn:
I killed...period...my Marines rapid fired into the necron hordes killing almost all the warriors...my terminators charged the destroyer squad who just killed one of their Battle Brothers...and ripped them apart...the Land Raider they were in killed off some more warriors behind them...

My Marines got into hand to hand combat with his scarb swarms...riping into them and only losing one marine and the entire scarb swarm was wiped out...

Turn 4:
His Turn...the destroyers were all unable to make their wbb rolls all but one and his did a leadership test and passed and moved away just far enough so I could not catch up with him...no worries...the warrior squad behind him charged my terminators...Only to be slaughtered down to one warrior...



He passed his leadership test and moved away and I did not choose to go after the one warrior...I move my Terminators another direction where the fighting was stronger...



My Turn:
I killed all but one squad of warriors at this point with my Rapid Fire shots...on top of the Land Raider and Land Raider Crusader...the only squad that made it was the one on the back row...and it still lost a few men...

Turn Five:

His Turn:
His Heavy Destroyer finally took out my dreadnought...and the explosion was unable to take out the destroyers in front of him...well one did but still I wanted to take out the whole squad Destroyer Lord included...haha

My Turn:
He was down to one squad of warriors as his flayed ones were killed off before they could do any damage as they telported in...my marines just turned around and killed them off...

My Terminators were angry now and charged in...but to no avail...they were all killed off leaving only Faust alive and kicking...and boy did he get angry...the only left after that battle was a fully pissed off Faust and a one wound Destroyer lord...who passed his leadership and jumped away...I would have too...haha

at this point I just opened fire with everything I had...and killed off everyone...

every troop and necron on the field was killed with concentrated bolter fire...as we had ignored the less then 25% rule so we could keep playing I killed everything he had...By the end of the game I had killed every model he had and only a single flayed one was able to make his WBB roll...

I had only lost 5 Terminators, a Dreadnought, and 7 Battle Brothers...to his entire army...I think that was pretty good...but I will say this now...I think he will start winning if he can play the game better as we both are still getting use to how to play the game...

but hey...my Fasut Model in his Terminator Armour has not taken a single wound in the last 6 games...

5 Win-2 Draw-1 Lose
