Interrogator Stobz Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) The Battleforged 2k list I ran was roughly (as it got a bit jumbled once I quickly wrote the second list): -Twin Lions Blade: Master, AArmour, Relic Blade, PPistol, Eye of the unseen(for preferred En with the Comd Sqd) Chaplain, Jump pack, PPistol MBombs (became the Unbound Warlord, agreed by opponent cheating I know, I needed two Warlords for them to kill ) Comd Sqd, 5x Grav guns, Sacred Standard(relentless), free Drop pod. 6x 5man Tact Sqds, Combi Plas, Plas gun, free Razor, TLLC 2x 5man Aslt Sqds, PPistol, Power swd, Flamers x2 2x 5 man Dev Sqds, LC, free Razor, TLLC -RWSS: LSV 3x Typhoons The 3x WWinds, 3x Annihilator Preds, 3x Vindies, THawk and Deathstorm Drop pod made up the Unbound part, a few points spare got me another two Assault dudes and a pair of LC Devs to add to the battleforged part. Does that help? The Battle Company is only about 1650 from memory (list is at home). Edited August 10, 2015 by Brother Stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ya that makes sense now. Kinda like a dual demi lion's I'm making. Didn't think about slapping the master in the command squad thou...how did that work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Brilliantly, he tanked a few AP3 shots and provided rerolls to the misses on ones to the Grav guns, didn't do much else apart from scare the hell out of the Tau Warlord so he didn't charge my Comd Sqd. I subsequently killed him and his squad with the Lions GodHammers once they were left standing in the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 No apothecary in the cmd squad? No points or didn't feel it was necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 I mostly just ran out of points; also they were to deepstrike unsupported into enemy territory, so I kept them as cheap but nasty as I thought was appropriate for the opposition. They survived OK with cover and positioning, lost 3 sqd members and one wound off the Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ahh ok...I'll probably run a apothecary then and maybe storm shields if I have points left. Maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemisor Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 don't worry bro, next time you'll have some Flesh Tearer backup ( which may not be the best thing considering their track record for killing allies) with lots of killy flying black dudes Bryan Blaire and Interrogator Stobz 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Sweet Flesh Tearing, probably too sweet and too killy....like there's such a thing :P I'm keen for the 23rd or 30th Aug if you are, pm or text me.

Interrogator Stobz Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) A non BnC friend asked if I could post some pics of the magnet process I used for my Deathstorm Pods; whilst they were daunting at first, once I got the hang of it I merely had to be careful with my drilling and precise with my measurements. The last couple of steps can easily be used to make a normal Pod useful for troops and Dreads. For this project I intended to glue the whole 'normal' pod together and magnetise the centre in parts to enable it to be removed throught the doors, here is my Launcher magnet process: 1) Pod base centre, a 5mm diameter x5mm long nice strong mag put in prior to assembly (greenstuff or packing required inside) 2) Missile hub base, same size magnet, the scary part was getting the drilling depth right. I solved it by just drilling too deep on purpose, then put it together while the glue was wet and it sorted itself out. 3) I attached the Launchers to the centre hub so they could be removed to make it smaller. Same sized mags, I measured centrelines and heights from bottom for drill centres. 4) I then put the pod together around it and found it couldn't come out anyways :rolleyes: . So, I magnetised the wings to the base so they could pop off. Had to be really careful drilling to avoid going crooked, I made indent with pin, drilled right through with 1mm bit, drilled about 4mm deep with 3mm bit, partially packed the hole with greenstuff, pushed a 3mm Diameter x 3mm long mag into hole until flush with the edge, removed excess greenstuff from outside (I should have tidied the outsides up better prior to painting) :wink: 5) Now before I had done anything else after drilling the 1mm hole in step 4 above, I drilled matching holes in the base to ensure a good alignment. I then expanded them to the 3mm holes needed for the 3mm Diameter x 3mm long mags. Again, G/S and/or packing required inside the base so don't glue it together until everything is ready. I could have avoided maging the launchers onto the hub, but hindsight is clearer than ever :rolleyes: I have found the 3mm mags are really strong and it is no worry picking up the pod by the very top even with the weight of the launcher inside, there is absolutely no unwanted movement. Hope that was helpful; now I need more glue to finish other Log projects, so I'm off the the shop tomorrow...

Tygwyn Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well done Brother! Well worth the wait for all of us who will only ever dream of owning one, let alone building and painting one... We're all basking in the collective glow of your awesome achievement, the Lion would be proud! Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Cheers Tygwyn, I don't know if basking in any glow is totally correct; more like a sigh of relief that I've finally finished him :P I kind of removed any awesomeness from the project by dragging it out so loooonnnng :D Feels pretty damned good to have him done nonetheless. It's like a weight has been removed. bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
