Commander Dawnstar Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 ...played my first game with my Sisters in about 18 months. Against a War Convocation. It was about as much fun as you can have in a turn two surrender, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Costanza7 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Decided to sign up for this forum after a few months of lurking. Had a fun brawl against Crimson fists with my black legion that resulted in a draw and bought start collecting set for skitarii and the codex. Can't wait to get them all built up and painted. Thinking about going for the mars color scheme but nothing is decided yet. Next step for the army is probably another start collecting set and the cult mechanicus codex.

Brother Sefiel Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) HelloPlayed 2k last night. My C:IA v Ultramarines. The Ultra player has a lot of backfield gunline-type units, including the Librarius formation, two squads of devastators and some centurions. He also has about three times as much scenery as me to hide behind. I have seven assassins plus 1k of inquisition/astropath/priest bods (including Coteaz and Cypher) in a single unit with my trademark space monkeys.Turns out we are playing Malestrom 4.I deploy my big unit behind a pathetic scrap of cover and sneak my assassins on in infiltration, failing to Seize the Initiative twice. In his first turn my opponent manages to shoot both my Calliduses to death. Argh.As the game progresses I find out about the psychic power that allows you to ignore cover and shoot at targets you can't see, being cast twice on 2+ with re-rolls. He only Perils twice, one of which he gets super-powers from. By comparison, 3/5 turns I roll 1 for the number of Warp Charges I get. I wish I was making this up. Neither of my Eversors manages to get anywhere near the opposition despite their (theoretical) super-long charge range. During one turn my opponent manages to assassinate my Culexus through shooting. Almost all of the the other assassins are killed through S8 guns, the exceptions being a single Vindicaire who is naturally charged by a dread. My 1000 points of assassins managed to take a single hull point from it. That's all they achieved in the entire game. Sigh. My space monkeys get me two victory points by shooting up a devastator squad with a librarian attached. They fail their morale check (despite Sicarius, hiding in a Land Raider, giving them Leadership 10). This is my first successful destruction of an enemy unit. I believe it's in my turn 4.Eventually my surviving inquisitorial dudes get charged - in turn 5 - by a couple of units. The tactical squad enjoys the rending heavy flamers and falls over. The centurions make their charge, and one manages to survive into my turn five, preventing me from the hope of any success of getting more vengeance.In the end it was something like 5-15.

Soldier of Dorn Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Today I ordered quite a few Made-to-order models and other various things (in separate orders, of course.) So looking forward to all of that. Also picked up the Cataphractii Apothecary, despite how much I might dislike it. ... I need to tidy up my hobby space too. But too tired for that today.

Canadian_F_H Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Tith I pondered all day about admech color schemes. .. The color of Gordon freeman's hazard suit comes to mind. .. with black Mesa logos and encircled Lambdas... Also with the admech historically misunderstanding ancient warnings (hazard stripes on weapons because it makes them more dangerous is a thing) Why haven't we seen the Ionizing Radiation Trefoil more? That would be a fun army to see with fluorescent hazard warning colors in their scheme. ..

Phantomzero17 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 TITH I went to a New Years party and left with a box of Firewarriors. I guess I got another killteam coming. Maybe a Gue'la conversion?Either way it was 3 am and besides working my way through most of a pack of Black Butte I couldn't fall asleep so I grabbed a book from my pile of currently unread literature. Salamander by Nick Kyme. Got part way through and felt absolute need to sit at my hobby desk and dig through my bits box.The result http://i.imgur.com/awUKqKo.jpg a search for the oldest boltgun examples I could find and some Corvus pattern armor. Maybe another PA killteam to boot? Oh and I have those 5 Sallies pad FW accidentally sent with my Night Lords order a few years ago too...
