They look good.

Where is the head from on your Jarl? I thought it was a TWC head, have you added some GS to it. I think it might be your best Space Wolf to date.

 

I humbly suggest you name your Jarl Bulveye. Of course you do not have to. The decals you are using are the old 13th company ones from the Eye of Terror codex days. During the HH Bulveye was Jarl of 13th Company, and is still ruling the company in 40K as he, & his Rune Priest help Ragnar defeat Madox, wound Magnus by stabbing him in the eye, end their infernal magicks and retrieve the Spear of Russ :smile.: 

 

Saying that markings are repeatedly used over time by various Jarls, so you could name him anything you want.

 

Oh and that breacher shield? It was the exact shield, colour & design I was considering for my Achilles :biggrin.:

 

Dagnammit man!!

The head comes from http://www.ebay.com/itm/361406022060?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

I bought them and was excited, but they are too tiny for power armor. Probably too tiny for the Imp Guard. However, the Cataophractii torsos limit the size of the head that can be placed in them. So that worked out.

Im not crazy about using a "named" character. Detracts from my story. 

and yea, I know who Bulveye is. I believe he also appears in the Tales of Heresy anthology, though I may be incorrect. Im too lazy to back upstairs and check my bookshelf.

 

I had one, and picked up another 4 or so offa a FB buy/sell/trade group. That gives me roughly 80 of those decals to work with. Thats enough for the size of the Wolves Im going for at the moment.

 

What can I say, Im in your head. Its a disturbing place. Stop doing that. :wink:  

Awesome stuff! What are you planning for your bases? Stereotypical snow or something else? :smile.:

 

I did snow in my 3rd (4th?) Wolf army many years ago. I mixed the snow with green flock and thought it looked decent. 

that said, I wont be doing that again.

 

I'm of 2 minds right now:

the first being metal flooring, like on a starship. The "theme" of the Wolves is a dedicated boarding force, so Breachers as the backbone and heavy and skilled infantry to support them. I *may* pick up some Land Raiders for normal games (as Breachers cannot get Rhinos or Pods) but that is faaaaar down the road.

or

the second being shattered glass of Prospero. I'm skimming various places looking for ideas and tricks I can steal. 

 

The Jarl looks great, loving the ginger legion!

I like the grey you've used also, sets them apart as HH Wolves.

 

Thank you, I made sure it was very different from my 40k Wolves. 

Im torn on giving them a Nuln wash as that may go too dark. Right now I see the grey of thunder clouds.

 

Thanks Marshal Rohr!

 

Im still unsure of what to do with the cape. I was initially going to make it into furry, but decided against it after remembering how FW said they are making distinctly different Wolves from 40k. Ive painted it black, and was advised to try and free hand on it. Its going on my list of things to do.

Turn 1, Raven Guard go First. No Night Fight

 

Turn 1 Anvillus with Praetor+Legion Command Squad arrive. Contemptor moves to 2nd floor for better LoS

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2011.32.44_zps9srgjesu.jpg

 

Tactical Squad in Drop Pod arrive. Sadly, Tactical Support Squad of Plasma Guns scatters off of table, re-entering Reserves. Ray then moves his Cultists around the Tactical Squad's pod an grins evilly...

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2011.32.46_zpspzhdmbs8.jpg

 

With most of my guns out of range, I only kill 2 of 3 Obliterators holding a building and wound a Bloodthirster. The last Obliterator surviving with a single wound denies me First Blood...

 

Which Ray promptly scores, blowing my Anvillus from the sky and killing one of the Legion Command Squad

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2011.54.27_zpsxltdrm4d.jpg

 

Wondering why Ray was grinning, this happens...

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2011.55.00_zpsxxuzekcb.jpg

 

Do you have a moment to discuss the SKULL THRONE!? That pod lasts all of 3 seconds

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.03.04_zpszcyawv3x.jpg

 

Turn 2 has more RG arrivals, with my Tactical Support Squad arriving deep in Ray's deployment zone to demonstrate the power of CHOOM

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.27.26_zps24g0hpy5.jpg

 

The Mor Deythan flank Ray, but the Oblit's armor proves impervious to their flamer attack

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.27.29_zpshjlh6ugc.jpg

 

My Tactical Squad holds their ground infront a pissed off Bloodthirster (but really, is there any other kind?) while the Tactical Support Plasma Squad arrive again, this time landing off of the Tactical Squads Vox and not scattering. This time they blow the Bloodthirster back to the Warp
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.27.35_zpsi0258bb6.jpg

 

Yea, those Tactical Marines straight up DGAF

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.36.16_zpszrgeuu5n.jpg

 

The impressive CHOOMING kills 16 of 35 Cultists, and the survivors decided to find the Chaos Gods somewhere off the table

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.50.35_zpslj6fsyjv.jpg

 

My Praetor and last of the Legion Command Squad decide the Cultists need to go, and charge them. They break them in a round of combat, and the survivors flee

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.50.35_zpslj6fsyjv.jpg

 

Ray's Helldrake arrives

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.50.35_zpslj6fsyjv.jpg

 

as does his second 

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.57.41_zpsjy0zhkti.jpg

 

as does one of his Hellblades

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2012.58.14_zpsjtzg4zvg.jpg

 

and just incase that wasnt enough reserves, both Soul Grinders appear in my deployment zone

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2013.03.28_zpsnivqrnn1.jpg

 

The wounded Bloodthirster moves to spread the word of Khorne to my Mor Deythan

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2013.44.32_zpst5wz8fkg.jpg

 

Ignoring my Praetor, the Bloodletters move to take an Objective Marker

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2013.44.24_zpshrfeluln.jpg

 

Chaos shooting takes a hull point from 2 of my Contemptor Talon, destroying one's power fist

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/a721b31b-bd11-407c-b531-0aa07305eb59_zps0pgtdrar.jpg

 

Chaos shooting also allows my Tactical Squad to fall back, depriving his Warlord's their souls

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2013.44.26_zpsocvk8png.jpg

 

Yea, that conversation went as well as one could expect

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2013.51.44_zpsrvs0tcop.jpg

 

The Legion Standard Bearer falls to enemy shooting, as the Plague Bearers move to charge my Praetor

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2013.52.05_zpsfvedv38p.jpg

 

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2013.52.24_zpsz30w2ucb.jpg

 

While the Warlord vents his fury on the Tactical Support Plasma Squad's drop pod...the overwatch kills maybe a cultist

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.00.01_zps22u1ctp2.jpg

 

with predictable results

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.01.54_zpspwadxdqm.jpg

Turn 3

 

My Storm Eagle does an ultra-risky deep strike into the rear of the chaos army, behind the Chaos Storm Eagle (forgot to mention he arrived before)...and does NO damage to the craft

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.12.41_zpsntbl3k5a.jpg

 

Corax arrives to lay the smack down on the enemy Warlord, as the Plasma Gunners light him up like the 4th of July. The Lord survives, his cultist escort does not

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.22.03_zpspzq9lsgk.jpg

 

Yea, I charged a Soul Grinder with my contemptor...and did no damage. But I passed my 6+ invul save TWICE, and recieved no in return

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.33.04_zpsugyrslu4.jpg

 

The Warlord meet in Epic hand to hand combat! Not really, Corax cuts him down with ease. The dude had like 1 wound left

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.34.25_zpsrwxuoicf.jpg

 

In his eternal crusade to spread the Good Word of Khorne, the Bloodthirster swings to bail the Soul Grinder out of combat

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.50.54_zpss7ozjook.jpg

 

and Ray drops a squad of Daemonettes into my deployment zone

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.50.57_zpspnhtym95.jpg

 

and his 2nd Hellblade arrives (see Corax hiding behind the Plasma Squad...there is a reason for that)

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.51.00_zpskqn42ggp.jpg

 

and that reason being 19 freaking Possessed and a Dark Apostle pile out of the Storm Eagle like a daemonic clown car of DOOM

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2014.56.40_zpsgftucjqq.jpg

 

the now rallied Cultists make the Choom Squad pay for the carnage they wrought on the other Cultist mob and BloodLetters (killed like 9 of those dudes)

the Choom squad is wiped out

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2015.06.19_zpssvc5627d.jpg

 

Ray forgot the Bloodthirster's SMASH in the first round of combat, but swears vengeance this time...

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2015.18.42_zpsgfejoilp.jpg

 

The Possessed pile into the Plasma Support Squad, and easily rip them to shreds

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2015.18.45_zpstmvazini.jpg

 

those three dice? Those were the pen rolls for the SMASHING Bloodthirster. Poor Ray.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2015.20.32_zpsx9hudcid.jpg

 

Ray begin's to beseech the Dark Gods for help

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2015.40.06_zpsnzwneue1.jpg

Turn 4!

 

My Darkwing Storm Eagle arrives, fails to hurt any of his targets

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2016.00.32_zpsm9ng2ses.jpg

 

Corax, the 10 strong Dark Fury Assault Squad, Praetor and Chaplain are about to avenge the Plasma Support Squad

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2015.42.24_zpsxrv86tgz.jpg

 

My Rapier Batters finally penetrate the Soul Grinder's daemon save and blow it up, while a Dreadnought and Tactical Squad start thinning out the Daemonettes

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2015.49.55_zpskndxbsov.jpg

 

It only took Corax and HALF of the Dark Fury Assault Squad's attacks to completely wipe out the Possessed. That Chaplain's Zealotry made the squad insane

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2015.58.39_zpswmyval09.jpg

 

after bring double drake'd, plasma cannon'ed and having the kitchen sink thrown at them, the Dark Fury Assault Squad with Praetor and Chaplain are locked with a summonded Herald of Khorne

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2016.18.21_zpshldtt8q6.jpg

 

The Contemptor finally kills the Soul Grinder, laughs off the Bloodthirsters attacks, and they remain locked

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HH%20RG%20vs%2040k%20WB%2012-16-15/2015-12-26%2016.19.18_zpsaeyyjqqf.jpg

 

the game ends at the end of Turn 4, with the final results being:

Victory to the Raven Guard, 14 to 8! (forgot to count Linebreaker for both of us)

 

More pics of the Chaos Warlord, as I love the job Ray did on him

It was an enjoyable game for both of us, with lots of laughs and cool moments.

 

 

Things I liked about my army:

-The Choom Squad. They put the FEAR OF THE EMPEROR into Ray.

-The Contemptor Talon. They anchored me very well and the one on 2 fight was amazing

-The Dark Fury charge. It was amazing

 

Things I didnt like:

-I used the Mor Deythan poorly. I should have kept them on the other side of the table with their Outflank, but didnt think hard enough on this

-I was too cautious with both Corax and the Dark Fury bomb for too long. But when they hit, they HIT

-the Deredeo Dreadnought. It dropped the second Hellblade as soon as it arrived, but did little more throughout the game.

 

I have to give Ray credit, he brought an unusual army (what a chaos army should look like by fluff, if not by rules) and pushed me hard. I got lucky with a few D3 rolls on the Objective Cards, which helped greatly.

 

We were both a little rusty, so may have goofed rules here or there, but the important thing is that we both had fun. And a re-match in the process of being set up.

 
All for now.

"Yea, those Tactical Marines straight up DGAF"

 

So said the bard of the true heroes of the day 

 

 

No but for real awesome report great quality pictures as always , thanks for sharing ! 

 

I wish it were pure nerve, but I pulled an Assassinate card. Rayray had helpfully turned a Cultist into a Herald of Khorne, and in order to score the point, the squad stood it's ground and (rightfully it turned out) trusted the plasma gun squad to deal with the Bloodthirster.

 

and you are very welcome, I greatly enjoy Rayray's and I games. I like seeing such reports on B&C, so present my own offerings as well

Awesome!

 

Thanks for the batrep, man. It looked like a blast!

 

It was a blast, Rayray is a fun opponent.

 

Thanks for the advice on the Contemptor Talon. Even in 5k I was unsure of the point investment, but they worked out beautifully for me.

Corax creeping...
 
Turn 1
The Chaos Spartan, Possessed Rhino and Flesh Hounds surge forward...never playing against Flesh Hounds, their speed astounds me
 
My Pods arrival. One Drop Pod scatters off the table, one lands behind the Flesh Hounds, and the Cataphractii Praetor in the Anvillus lands safely in my deployment zone
 
My Praetor's view of the Chaos armor advance
 
My Master of Signal's view of the Chaos Armor advance
 
The Flesh Hounds are getting too close for comfort
 
The Master of Signal calls in some orbital support against the Chaos Spartan
 
The Quad Mortars, Master of Signal, and 2 Contemptor's with Multi-Meltas and Graviton Guns remove 4 of the Spartan's Hull Points, but the beast survives! The Possessed in the Rhino are stuck, as the MoS Orbital Love Tap immobilizes their ride
 
Hold on to your butts, this thing is just beginning!

Pookie the Great Unclean One to the left of me, a Soul Grinder on the right, stuck in the middle with you

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/F1D38467-A7EA-4D27-9656-B3EE5D4F1FD7_zpsfp8hoeo4.jpg

 

Farther up the field, a Helldrake races up the left side of the board while a Hellblade flies up the right.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/73FFFEBA-CF4F-46C1-9881-E35C7D3852DA_zpsncbg4fiz.jpg

 

the MoS guides the aim of the Quad Mortar battery

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/F6855A33-656E-4710-8385-12851BE588D3_zpsyl9ollyr.jpg

 

the Deredeo's Intercepting Skyfire destroys the Helldrake's flame cannon thingy, and I let out a huge sigh of relief

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/4ED33D03-A467-48CA-9CD2-648B002C81E0_zpsdzfddyfr.jpg

a mess of Chaos Terminator pile out of the Spartan, but fail the all important charge to the Contemptor Dreadnought!
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/6B21DFEA-BF7C-4C5D-AF1F-CA962BF40C5F_zpssvnumtes.jpg

 

The Tactical Squad is blown out of their Drop Pod and the Daemonettes make their charge!

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/55966353-2648-4178-A6EF-ABC5B5F1E4DB_zps5eds9kwv.jpg

 

as do the Flesh Hounds

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/45CB4F5E-B8F4-4549-91E8-E3D6E5C9D9F6_zpsiqhcot3k.jpg

 

The Flesh Hounds rip through the Tactical Marines and pursue the survivors through the ruins

the Daemonettes show the puppies how its done however, and completely wipe out the Tactical Squad

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/4F35A6E6-BAC6-4ADE-B185-75C874D4DCC2_zpscykqle1x.jpg

 

My Storm Eagle with Cataphractii Terminators suffers a Deep Strike Mishap, and Rayray places it backwards in my deployment zone

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/CE99B43D-8778-4DF2-B59D-FFC5D794369B_zpszwwqyouv.jpg

 

My Tactical Support Squad with Plasma Guns lands on target, but seeing as the Possessed are both Shrouded and Invisible, elect to target the artillery

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/0953BCC3-E8D6-4A51-8A89-B13090F394BE_zpspmyegdsl.jpg

 

 

The Mor Deythan move on the Chaos flank, open firing on the Cultists to clear their way to the Chaos artillery

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/7320F18D-490A-4004-8D0A-98E5BDFD9536_zps2vu6zxfi.jpg

 

One of my Contemptor moves to challenge the Soul Grinder...opening fire first, it's Multi-Melta turns it into scrap and robs itself of the charge

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/6C00A163-B058-4F07-9C47-3B576C19E8D0_zpsijjmxztn.jpg

 

Corax leaps ahead to halt the Chaos Terminators while the Contemptor dreadnought moves to put more firepower into the Spartan (it shot last, so if the other guns did the job it'd support Corax.) It's guns were required to drop the Spartan, meaning Corax charges alone...
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/7A7AEBAD-715D-4253-B585-45D437A7FF9E_zps4wiyo4o2.jpg

 

The results of Corax crashing into the Terminators, a dead Champion and several slain Terminators. They lock into combat with the Raven Lord

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/0519806D-C5D9-4F6A-BFEC-F0733E9FC7EB_zpspf6uny7q.jpg

 

Thats the end of Turn 2...more to come

It's staring to get a little crowded down here. I think Rayray has more models in my Deployment zone than I do

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/6BD11610-6C6C-4C6A-A98E-31AD03026B1B_zps0yjncfsk.jpg

Pookie got sent back to the Warp by a massive artillery barrage, and loses his last wound to a combi-bolter from a Drop Pod.

The Possessed Champion falls to the righteous wrath of the Sergeant's power fist!

In the end, only the Sergeant remains...

The Chaos artillery opens fire on the Drop Pod, but only remove a single Hull Point

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/D6EB6010-2C94-41A4-8CB5-F4CD1BA1A164_zpsxfn4k9dl.jpg

 

The Mor Deythan charge the Chaos Artillery, but fail to kill them off. They lock in close combat

2 Contemptors thunder into 3 Mutilators. One Dread crosses terrain and is slowed to initiative 1. The first Dreadnought kills 2 of them, while the lone survivor drops a Contemptor with chainfists. Corax and Company completely wipe out the Plague Bearers

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/11746DA0-FF64-4A2F-B9BC-9E6FB933239E_zps3oadbllo.jpg

Turn 4

 

Chaos Dreadnoughts in a formation deep strike even deeper behind my lines!

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/BB192C78-49C2-4BC8-B5DA-5E9DD275A15A_zpswtj5ft4i.jpg

 

The Master of Signal directs the Artillery on the new threat, killing 1 and stripping hull points from another

The Possessed vs Tactical Squad still battle on, each slowly killing one another one by one

My Tactical Support Volkite Squad leaves their Drop Pod to deny the objective to the Cultists, and introduce them to the power of CHOOM

20+ dead Cultists later, the mob flees the CHOOM

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/F297BEB6-679D-4FEA-8937-47326083FF5D_zpsbdixxprb.jpg

 

A Contemptor moves to engage the Chaos Dreadnoughts. It's Multi-melta drops one of them, and he prepares himself to charge in

The table looks a lot clearer now

the fight continues, but as long as the Chaos artillery is quieted I guess its okay

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/kieran_m/40k%20Battles/HG%20RG%20vs%20WB%2001-02-16/321CD97F-CF96-4C44-B64A-B9B381C525B0_zpsio2kiloe.jpg

 

the odds finally turn against the Possessed, and the Sergeant's power fist sends two more to hell

the two Dreadnoughts clash! 
The Contemptor pulls apart his foe, and while the Chaos Dreadnought strikes back twice, fails to so much as glance the Contemptor's stronger armor

some brief notes:

 

-Rayray cast Iron Arm on Pookie, his Great Unclean One. With it's gifts it had a toughness of 10 for a single round. That flat out terrified me.

 

-I hate when people say this, but Ray's dice were not with him in any way, shape or form. The amount of times he failed to even glance the Contemptors or Drop Pods was bordering on insane. If he wasnt a dirty traitor, I would have felt bad for him. 

 

-I made a stupid number of invul saves on my Contemptors. 

 

-While neither the Orbital Strike of the Master of Signal or the Sunder of the Quad Mortars was especially useful, the MoS granting his BS and Vox was crazy awesome. I think combo will become a staple of my Raven Guard. 

-While the charges of the Dark Fury Assault Squad is devastatingly powerful, they are a glass cannon at best. They drop so quick it isnt funny.

 

Both Ray and I agreed it was a fun game, so we achieved the important part. If it wasnt fun for both of it, it wouldnt be worth the time.

 

All for now.

As long as Rayray is game, these reports will continue on a semi-regular basis. Twice in 2 weeks probably won't happen again.

 

Which is good, as it gives me time to paint the unloved models I'm fielding.

I started on the Master of Signals last night, but the weather may have jinxed the primer. I figure I'll finish him, see how I feel and strip and repeat if I'm unhappy with him.

 

I'm waiting for 2 more contemptors to arrive in the mail, and then I'll paint all of them together. They deserve some loving.

 

So while there won't be a game post this upcoming weekend, I'll try and post some of the army itself.

 

Thanks for the encouragement Flint! I do this in the Wolf forum and the amount of readers to actual responses is a little disheartening at times.
