MY FIRST IRON HANDS VICTORY!

 

I ended up against Guard, who were using a formation set from the Mont'ka (or Kauyon, I can't remember) campaign books. Basically there was a crap-ton of Leman Russ and a Baneblade kicking about, making a tank line of horror. Then I remembered - I can outflank my Glaive. After weathering two turns of fire, the Glaive arrived on their flank, Autek Mor charged from the Spartan, and everything fell apart. The Glaive took the equivalent of near 20hps over three turns with its beam, as well as 13 or so infantry and driving through a Leman Russ with the powers of fat. Only lost 1hp too.

 

Best kill goes to my first Sicaran though. Not only did it twice survive a Baneblade cannon, demolisher and pair of lascannons on it without a HP lost, it took down the superheavy ALONE. Even without Orth's tank hunter bonuses I usually have.

 

Today's been tight, glad I finally scored a win, and glad the Glaive performed so well for its debut.

Washing time soon.

 

This is a brilliant use of the Pollux torso. Dripping with hate and rage. I love it, and I forgot how huge the model is.

So, this has happened:

Now you might be thinking "Raktra? With Emperor's Children? WHAT?!", but there is a reason - Shattered Legions, baby. Gonna count this as a pre-heresy force, representing the good ol' days before things went royally tits-up. Eidolon will be representing a Chaplain for small games, backed up by ten buddies with five power spears and jump packs. That's a lot of re-rolling AP2s, now.

Pre-heresy? Good call.

 

Also, am I the only one who starts wilding out full blast when I see screen caps of their people's forge world orders? I seriously get the biggest itch to go buy something from that site whenever I see that. And then there's that 100 pound Tita-- *leaves to order more FW*

Wanna know why Helterskelter is my favourite Frater? Besides the emotional support and banter, he sells me cheap-ass Vorax because the fiddly bits piss him off.

I'm still alive, I'm still here! Just getting seriously distracted by my AoS Bloodbound tribe. Here's my jabbing at the Calth dreadnought a bit. Early days.
