WarriorFish Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Looking good varchilde, you're right about GLs. Nothing to shout about no but cheap and flexible. Take them in number and they can fill some gaps. PCSs are a good unit for them too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298770-cadian-82nd-special-operations-group-a-plog/page/4/#findComment-3966022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
varchilde Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Time for the results of another fruitful painting session. Master of Ordnance complete And bio: Reveal hidden contents From a very young age Master of Ordnance Aleyne Turing was always serious and studious. More fascinated by the study of mathematics, data analysis and information management than the care and attention of a Lasgun, his aptitude and gift for quick and ready calculations was recognised as a youth and he attended specialist academy training to learn the art of artillery warfare.Graduating with honours, Turing rose through the ranks of the artillery corps, his quick thinking brain and cold logic a valuable resource in the field. Turing is as distant a man as his artillery pieces are from the front line. He sees the battle field as numbers, flows of information and data rather than as the blood, guts and glory as most of the Imperial Guard, and this lets him keep calm and focused on the complex calculations needed to guide his guns when the enemy fire is falling around him. Grenadier complete And bio (with a brief nod to Sir TP): Reveal hidden contents The scent of lho stick hung heavy in the air of the mess. The current hand of cards held the majority of the squad’s attention; the atmosphere accompanied by a rolling banjo tune played by Arms man Perkins. That damned banjo! That was the reason for the presence of the final card player and the awful nickname that Special Weapon Squad Bravo Four had acquired in the regiment. It had all started when Bravo Four had been assigned to Inquisitorial escort duty, a simple protection detail for a handful of Ordo specialists to the field. Perkins had bought the banjo along to entertain the squad on downtime as he always did, but the Ordo weapon-tech had been drawn to the music like a moth to a flame. And there lied the problem; now the Ordo-freak was always around Perkins and Bravo Four at every opportunity. They’d tried cold shouldering him, they’d tried scaring him off, hell they’d even complained to superiors for all the good that had done them. So now they just resignedly accepted his prescence. The players had all folded or called except one, and now eyes turned to the hairy orange ape hanging from the rafter. A broad grin grew across the jokaero’s face, and it let out a triumphant “ook” as the last hand of cards was laid on the table. Full house. Sergeant Vimes of “Monkey Squad” turned away in disgust. “I hate you Perkins”. And some flamer dudes in need of basing I'll add them to the painting event thread once I've got some fluff written to go with them.

WarriorFish Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 They look nice, you're producing some good work quite quickly it seems - keep it up! :D Would that I could get such good painting sessions in :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298770-cadian-82nd-special-operations-group-a-plog/page/4/#findComment-3971729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
varchilde Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yeah, these guys do get painted pretty quickly. That was a key aim when I started painting this army; nice and simple so I can keep churning out reinforcements. And I think I've got enough hq/fast/heavy units now to break the slots on a CAD, so just the excuse I need to paint more troopers to fill out CAD #2.

WarriorFish Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Wait, we need excuses to paint more Guard now? :P Especially for more troopers for there is only one number of Guardsmen: not enough! :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298770-cadian-82nd-special-operations-group-a-plog/page/4/#findComment-3974597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Don't worry about the slow painting, I know the feeling (stupid white and red). Main thing is they look good.

varchilde Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 The 82nd keep distracting me from my "Tale of 3 painters" style project I started at the beginning of the year to expand my Grey Knights for a couple of tourneys later this year. So yep "excuses" is the word But I do love painting these guys so the 82nd keep growing! (One of the tourneys is abroad so I'm taking a small army! Before anyone asks why the boys in Green and Argrax ain't getting the play time...)

varchilde Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Bios added to the challenge models both here in the plog and the main thread. Enjoyed working on these.

varchilde Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Last post middle of March, and now it's the end of June . I didn't realise how very very distracted by Knights of various flavours I've been! But I'm back with the 82nd for a while as I've got a 1k game planned for next week, and I'm itching to get the guys back on the table. Not sure if I'll have any time to paint anything new before then, but never say never. It's good to be back Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298770-cadian-82nd-special-operations-group-a-plog/page/4/#findComment-4096509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

varchilde Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Sooooo. A 1k game actually turned into a 3v3 slugfest, played alfresco with many snacks and the odd lemonade... Narratives were forged and an Ork player with a better camera and more photography skills than me took some snaps. Enjoy! Command Chimera Russ Infantry Squad Wyvern Outflanking Bikers at the start of the shooting phase Outflanking Bikers at the end of the shooting phase And finally, the Cadian 82nd need you!

WarriorFish Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Can't beat how an army looks all painted up on the table :D Large games with snacks are good fun, I used to have quite a few 3 vs 3 many moons ago sort of like Apoc before it existed :) How did the game end?

varchilde Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 We played straight up Kill Points, with Team 82nd winning by about 6KP. The opposition tried for the alternative victory condition of "get Colonel Staysback", but he's far too canny to get caught by something as straight forward as an Ork/Space Pup/Ultramarine alliance :) Home in time for tea and medals!

varchilde Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hello my fellow guardsmen!Having been very distracted by both Space Marines and Grey Knights I'm investing some time into the Cadian 82nd. My local club is holding it's annual Octoberfest tournament in a couple of weeks and I'm taking the 82nd for their first competitive outing. The models are painted so I've painting up some objective markers (remember those?) A statue raised on honour of the glorious Colonel: And supply dumps, and a mortar position: Thanks for looking.

varchilde Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 I think I must have missed that event WF. My summer painting time was spent on painting Grey Knights for the ETL. Once the tourney is out the way I'll try and slap some paint on some guard reinforcements.

varchilde Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Club tournament tomorrow and the 82nd are out in force. Last tourney one of the club members took a load of pictures so fingers crossed someone more competent with a camera than me will take a pic or two of the Colonel and the lads. As an added bonus I've got a tin hat in a lovely drab green to wear for the day :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298770-cadian-82nd-special-operations-group-a-plog/page/4/#findComment-4539963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I have head wear to match my Guard too I don't let my camera or (lack of) skill stop me taking pictures, so I expect a report of your battle - good luck Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298770-cadian-82nd-special-operations-group-a-plog/page/4/#findComment-4540006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
varchilde Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'll try and do a summary at least. Playing 5 1k games tomorrow so it's bit of a marathon. I'll break the slog with my bad Dad's Army impressions for the day though. List is all set: CCS, Triple Melta Vox, Chimera Inf Platoon: PCS, Mortar IS, Autocannon, Vox IS, Autocannon, Vox Vets, Grenadiers, Triple Plasma, Vox, Chimera Vets, Grenadiers, Triple Plasma, Vox, Chimera Wyvern Hydra Exterminator Russ with Las Cannon and Melta Sponsons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298770-cadian-82nd-special-operations-group-a-plog/page/4/#findComment-4540023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

varchilde Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Recovering from a very fun and very full day of 40k; here are the signals! What shall we do first, gaming or hobby? Let's get the gaming results done first. So 5 1000 point games; 90 minutes a piece: a brisk pace. Missions are essentially as per the Rule book with some slight tweaks (bonus VP for taking objectives with ObSec for example). Game 1 vs Necrons CAD; The Scouring. Win Game 2 vs Nurgle Daemons formation thingys; Crusade. Loss. Hard list to play against with summoning going on and some really nice formation rules like corrupting objectives. Game 3 vs Ork formation; combined Emperor's Will and Relic. Loss. Game went to time and I didn't make a push on my opponents home objective (assuming I'd get to that in later turns. Demolished most of 2 30 boy mobs but not enough; he had the relic and that was enough to clinch game. Game 4 vs Tau CAD & formation; Big Guns never Tire. Opponent seized, then 1-shotted the russ and wrecked a vet's chimera. Gulp! Fought back, killing most of the squishy stuff, but ultimately not enough. Giving up VPs for the destroyed Heavy Supports adds salt. Game 5 vs Khorne Daemon Kin; Modified Maelstrom Cleanse and Control. Win. Scary bloodthirster with D axe goes down hard 1st turn to monster hunting plasma and melta; They Do Not Like It Up Em! So 2 and 3. Pretty happy considering how rock some of the lists are. On the fluffy side... An honourable mention in the painting award (only 1 prize). And I take home Best Sports! Best game vote from all 5 opponents, and a shiny trophy! Great day.
