The Redeemers ~ Black Maru's Order of Redemption


Bukimimaru

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the comments guys.

Well, I think it's time for some housekeeping. Its Friday, so when I get back from work I'll get everything sorted out.

Jobs for tonight:

 

  • Close up of Thunderhammers, as requested.
  • Pics of Chaplain Charlie and his Screaming Death DC squad.
  • A Bat-rep of Maru and Herm's first run in with Ramesh Ramesh and his Nurgle Legions.
  • Maybe, if there is enough time, I might post some Pics and a Bio of "Big Crispin" now he's finished.

Any guesses what type of unit Big Crispin is? The first correct answer gets a free Bro-fist with a necron of their choice..

Sorry for the delay in content.

I have the pictures and the notes for the bat rep ready to go, but Photobucket was being an absolute nightmare over the weekend.(which is why the pics above are all weird sizes)

If I get the chance tonight I'll edit the above post and get the sizes all the same.

 

The Bat Rep is incoming, as is the reveal of Big Crispin!

Thanks brother.

I decided to edge highlight the DC rather than try to blend the black in.

I started using really dark highlights but it looked too subtle. I settled on the much brighter grey highlights.

Iit gives them a comic-book style look, bold and larger than life.

Behold, Brian!

He's more or less finished, just a few touch ups to do.

Also, here's a close up of the Thunderhammer as Jolemai requested about 2 months ago. >_<

Sorry for the delay.

 

Now if I can jut get the time to update that batrep...

 

[EDIT: Gah, I hate Photobucket so much. Resizing images.]

OK, while Photobucket decides whether or not it wants to resize my images appropriately, I thought I should finally get this Batrep sorted out.

 

Firstly (as always) I begin with apologies.

I had left my awesome-sauce Nikon camera at home and was taking pictures with my terrible windows phone in low light conditions. The pic quality is terrible and does not do justice to my opponent's really fantastically painted minis.

 

The game was a very casual, fun, narrative match based on a short story I posted earlier.

I suggest you read it before tackling the batrep below, it will make much more sense that way. :smile.:

 

The Lists:

Chaos, Played by Sam.

(The list was made up of a couple of detachments, which is why it doesn't look Battleforged.)

Game Special Rules:

 

  • Deamons always deploy first, Redeemers take first turn.
  • Night Fighting is in effect turn 1, continues every turn on a 4+
  • The Chaos relic is worth 3 points. Chaos cannot move relic from the Skull Temple.
  • The Skull Temple is dangerous terrain to non-Chaos units.
  • There are 3 objectives set up in the Marine's deployment. They are worth nothing to Marines, but 1 point each for Daemons.
  • No Linebreaker or First Blood. Slay the Warlord (Ramesh and Hermione) worth 1 pt each.

What a Game! I really cant tell you how much I enjoyed teaming up with Naz and his Grey Knight force to take on Sam's Daemon hoard. For a fluffy game, it seemed to balance out very well (as you can see by the nail-biting photo finish) which makes a narrative game even more fun.

 

If you read the story that this game was based on, you'll know the main reason for setting it all up was to "purify" my dice in the blood of Chaos Spawn, and I can certainly say I was rolling much better in this game than I have sice the new dex dropped. I think the Emperor has given me his blessing. ;)

 

I got a few words from Sam on his thoughts about the game, I'll post them below. I really want to thank him and my buddy Naz for playing such a great, chilled out game and for helping me lift the curse from my BA dice.

Next time I do a battle report like this, I'll be sure to take a better camera. I might ask one of my buddies to be a dedicated cameraman/note taker, as I got a little carried away towards the end of the game and forgot to take many notes/pics.

 

I hope Photobucket quits screwing up the image sizes, if they haven't evened out by tomorrow night I'll edit them up a bit.

I hope you all enjoyed, let me know what you thought about our custom game type.

 

Peace out.

Maru.

I'll try to get a full army shot ones the RAS squad is finished. :)

Looks nice Maru! Only thing I might suggest is unless they are there to purely hold objectives, maybe even just keep the CCW/BP on the scouts and rush them forward to make a nuisance of themselves. The list is very fast and offensive and I think they will do more damage that way, especially with that melta bomb! Plus you could keep a squad in the raven and "skies of death" onto an objective later!

 

I guess the Priest goes with the Jump squad? Maybe swap the inferno pistols to the drop squad to make that Alpha strike really hurt! That way the jump sergeant can eat challenges for the priest and you wont be losing potentially more shooting.

Thanks Charlo.

Yeah, the jump pack Priest goes with the Maru's Fist Assault Squad.

I was considering going with the C/C scouts, but thats a whole lot more painting and my sniper scouts usually serve me pretty well.

I think I will start one of the scout squads in the Raven for sneaky objective grabbing shenanigans.

 

I know the cardinal rule for drop pods is to take odd numbers so you get optimum first turn poddage, but I can't find the points.

I cant see this list doing majorly well against super-cheese lists, but its fast and durable with lots of FNP, so I'm gonna play for the objectives.

 

It's my first big tourney, I've played a few local ones, but nothing on this scale. Not sure what to expect. :)
