About this blog

So figure I place this here since this project will be covering multiple factions. The idea is to do as many Combat Patrols as possible using what I have or am getting via the Hatchettes’ lovely magazine collections or any of the other bundle boxes I get over the course of this.

Project Update

Status Update

So I’ve been VERY distracted recently between prepping for my annual tournament and just getting sucked into No Man’s Sky.    Figure I should give a status update as since the patrols have changed and may change more in the future. So currently I have 5 completed combat patrols:   Adeptus Astartes Astra Militarium Dark Angels (painted as Mantis Warriors) Leagues of Votaan Tyranids   Other I have planned and working on:    Sisters of Battle - I have

Finally Whole

So I finally finished painting up the Intercessor squad for the Mantis Warriors. So the whole Vengeful Brethren is now one chapter.    The Vengeful Brethern (Mantis Warriors) Faced the Death Guard CP as a premier battle and did a little too well. My opponent was tabled turn 4. Granted he did kill some intercessors and bladeguard, but a little luck and some good positioning got me thru.    Entering the field of battle   Finishing off the cleansing

Charge of the Cat Brigade

And a new challenger has entered the fray.    Drayden's Lance reporting for duty   I finally finished off the Death/Rough Riders, so Daryden’s Lance is ready for the field. I used them over the weekend. Faced off against the CSM patrol. The rough riders did their thing and managed to take out a patrol squad of CSM and half the possessed before getting wiped out while holding a forward position. The kasrkins dropping half the other patrol with disciplined fire. The comma

By your CPs combined....

Work has been a little busy, so no detailed battle reports. I have been getting in games at both the local Warhammer store (they host a semi-weekly CP day) and my FLGS. All against new players, which I did get to see the balancing of the different patrols. I faced both the Assault force and the Vengeful Brethren CPs. I used the Bane-Slayer Bulwark, Vanderghhast Swarm as well as did mirror matches. I did win both mirror matches, which I buck up to experience. Both opponents were a little disheart

Old vs New MKII

Old vs New Been a while, but here we are again. I think I got burnt out a little rushing the Armaggeddon marines so haven’t been doing much on the ork side. I did get in a CP game yesterday. They only had the old Eyes of Ultramar set, which doesn’t have 11th edition rules. They had the datacards so I just assigned them the DA mission so we had different missions for the game.    We fought on map B, I forward placed the Captain, vanguard and landspeeder. The librarian lead the inte

New Patrols

So didn't see that I didn't post my completed Assault Force CP.   Novamarine strike group reporting.   Also i got all the ork side and there for the new ork CP built. Sprayed some of the boys yesterday and will get the rest done tonight,. If I focus I should have these done by next weekend.

Project Update

Surviving Armaggeddon

So with the drop of 11th, GW has reworked some of the combat patrols and possibly nuked the rest. I’m hoping not, but at current I will only have four working CPs at time of writing.    The Vengeful Brethren (DA) The Vardenghast Swarm (Tyranid) Bane-Slayer’s Bulwark (votann) Assault Force (SM)   Still under construction is: Dryan Lance (IG) ‘Ardmob (orks)   So these will be the ones I focus on for now. It’s kind of one of the reasons that I didn’t want to

Need your Minerals (11th Edition)

Ok, so GW might have devastated this project. I’ll have another entry on my thoughts about it later.    Luckily I did have a few CPs that survived the purge and came out of the fire reforged. They did a semi-overhaul of the CPs. Secondaries are gone, Army Rule is the full rule now, and we now have unit enhancements as an option.    Still had my weekly CP meetup on Thursday and my opponent was cool using the new 11th edition rules.    I faced the same player from the

Old vs New, Teaching game.

Short update since work has been busy.    Protectors of Aun'Shar   So this time I got together the old Protectors of Aun’Shar CP, this week I was placed against another newbie. They were using Bane-Slayer’s Bulwark. For the game we did my usual modified Forward Position. They had the thunderers in the ruin on their home objective, champion was attached to the hearthguard and the warriors were split into two units, one with the melee weapons and the other with the heavy

Hunting Bigger Prey

Got in two Combat Patrol games this week. Both against the Armigar Trailblazers. Now originally I thought the armigar one was one of the stronger ones, but after this bout, not so sure anymore.   First game was Scorched Earth and I was using the Stormglaive Hunters. Subatan had the Master Rider Enhancement and selected the kill warlord secondary. Opponent got first turn but due to terrain didn’t have any shots. They did move the warglaive (warlord) forward to get ready to capture the A

New Hunt, Old Prey

So due to a burst of ‘inspiration’ and some time off I managed to get the Stormglaive Hunters pretty much done. I say pretty much cause I realized a bit after I took the group shot that I had not actually painted the Outrider Sgt chainsword and in the few days lost it…. Well they are pretty much done and we got into a battle.    Stormglaive Hunters (Storm Warriors)   So there is a FLGS like a few blocks from my house that has their 40k day on Thursday. I have been teach

Status Check in

Ok, I haven’t forgotten about this, just been a little busy.    So I did two more training CP bouts. I got to use the Medusan Reboubt against the Vanghast Swarm. Not much to it, the turrets took out the psychophage pretty much turn one and the heavy intercessors held their own against the rest of the swarm. I split the squad into two squads of five and sent them to take the two no-man land objectives. One group took the charge from the leapers and held. The other held their own against

Training Day Part 2

So once again I used the new FLGS Learn to Play/Combat Patrol day to teach another vic… player how to play via Combat Patrol. They took Strike Force Octavius so instead of using my newly completed Medusan Redoubt I used the Vanghast Swarm to go classic mode.    Medusan Redoubt (IF edition)     I split the termaguants up, had the barbguants and a termaguant unit hold home while the rest readied to surge forward. Opponent placed the terminators with the captain in re

New Training Grounds

New Training Grounds   IRL work seems to be picking up so entries will be sporadic for a bit. I got some more hobbying done.    So I finished the what mantis Warriors I pieced together. I’m actually out of basic Intercessors, still have plenty of assault and heavy left, but no basic. I was thinking of grabbing a box with my tax refund, but the reveals put a bolt round in that idea. Still it can wait.   Vengeful Brethren (Mantis Warriors/Ultramarines) Al

Weekly Update #6

Work has been busy these past few weeks, so didn’t have time to write up much. Also no pictures this entry cause I need to take them.   Over the weekend I pivoted on the projects, switching from CSM/Orks to marines. Just felt like painting up my Hellblasters for my UM 5th that I have in the background. This did remind me I had 5 hellblasters in the colour of the Mantis Warriors. So wanting to do something different and have a wargear correct Gravis captain I built a spare I had with th

Weekly Update #5

So now working on both the Ork and Chaos patrols at the same time cause the lining on these marines are causing me headaches.    I did get the Dark apostle, warboss (mostly), a boy and the Turox done.      I;m going to start placing magnets in the bases of these like I did with my nids so they will be easy to carry in the maglock system I have been swapping to.  Also planning to set up a sort of display later as I'm going to start working on my den

Hard Lessons

Got in a few games of Combat Patrol over the weekend. Local CP league seems to have cooled off, but still had a few opponents. The manager managed to rope in a pair of spearhead players (they forgot which sunday was spearhead/CP) into doing games since I had 6 with me that day. They choose Octavius and the Assault Brood. I took on the Tyranid player with Vengeful Brethren. Forward position was the mission of the day. Now my opponent plays Tyranids as well, so they had decent knowledge of the gam

Weekly Update #4

So no battle report this week. The combat patrol league is every other week at the local store.    So I started on the chaos marines. Doing a modified Black Legion scheme. I’m hoping to get these done somewhat fast. I haven’t gotten their scheme full worked out in my head. Even with it mostly being by the book i have to paint a few to get it down and be able to assembly line paint it.     Here are the Death Riders, pictures not that great, sorry, but they are battle

Culling the Horde

Was able to make it to the CP league at my local GW and got in some Combat Patroi over the weekend. Got in two games, one against a veteran and the second was a training game versus a new player.  Both games I rolled a die to decide which CP I would use of the three I had with me.    First up was a nid on nid bout. Insidious Infiltrators vs my Assault Brood. My opponent set up on three of the objective points due to their force all having Infiltrate. I put the parasite in reserve and t

Weekly Update #3

Weekly Update #3   Ok, so going to swap the updates from Thursday to Monday cause CP league is on Sunday and it gives me the weekend to get more stuff done.    Right now nothing much. Guardians are done, will get picture after CP is done fully since it was just some minor fixes from last week’s picture. It might be a while since in double checking I can’t find the riders for two of the bikes. I don’t want to take from the new sprues, so will continue looking for a while longe

Weekly Update #2

So I wasn't able to finish the Eldar CP as I had hoped. Got too distracted. I did get the guardians mostly done. I just need to add some details and for that I need a new brush cause my fine detail grew a mohawk. Also need one to redo the cracks on the jetbikes. I’m picking one up tonight.   Here are some picts though of the eldar in their ice scheme.      You can see more of my eldar in this old thread.

Weekly Update #1

Wanted to keep this a little active so will try and keep up with weekly updates.   Work continues on painting the FateBreakers, I have some details to do on the guardians and also found out I only have 1 unit of bikes actually done. I did find the other squad i had started and added that to the painting table. Also once the weather warms up again I’m going to finish priming the Chaos units to get the Dark Zealots started.   I also confirmed I have the bodies to complete the S

Training Day

So over the weekend I got in a game of Combat patrol with a new hobbyist. He was looking to get some experience in the game via CP and I was more than happy to help. I managed to gather up 6 CPs, 3 nids, 3 marines and the IK one. I’m debating doing up two more armigars in some freeblade colours to specifically use in CP. We won’t talk about how many knight frames I have in storage still….    Anyway he was using Amonhotekh’s Guard (Necrons), I let him pick his destroyer. To which he sel

So it begins again

So figure I place this here since this project will be covering multiple factions. The idea is to do as many Combat Patrols as possible using what I have or am getting via the Hatchettes’ lovely magazine collections or any of the other bundle boxes I get over the course of this.    Will also include battle reports for these or links to the reports if the CP is part of a large force I’m tracking in the main section of the B&C. Namely the guard and Admech ones. To help keep track of
