Hi!

With the new codex and lots of new projects I decided to start my own log.

So here's my first entry :

Company Master with Foe Smiter and Relic Blade - still very WIP :

Like I said, still very WIP, needs a tonne of green stuff, few more weapon options and a winged jump pack.

I'm really liking the ideas going on here. The sculpted armour torsos really convey a sense of artistic beauty that is reminiscent of the Renaissance whereas the robes, tabards, censers, etc convey a very Gothic feel. I'll be interested to see how they merge together when painted and the Green Stuff is complete smile.png.

Quick question: your Company Master looks to be in TDA. Is that before you get done with the Green Stuff and any further converting; is it Artificer Armour? The only reason I ask is because you can't take a Jump Pack while in Terminator Armour, as well you probably know already. I will assume it is Artificer Armour because I really want to see him with a winged Jump Pack!

Great work on your CM and command squad!  I really like how they turned out with robes and sculpted armour.  The banner looks stellar too!  Also, I am a big fan of the wings and I am toe see that I am not the only one using them.  What kit are the torsos from?  Are they Sanguinary Guard?  Keep up the great work!

Got my camera working again!!! Enjoy!

Thanks for the kind comments!!

I had to rush my grav devs so I can use them on a tournament this Saturday, and have a chance for best painted. So here are the 4 Grav Cannons :

http://i61.tinypic.com/30nkgh4.jpg

And the whole army prepared for the tournament :

http://i60.tinypic.com/2wpmtcj.jpg

The list is :

HQ

Librarian with Sword and Auspex

Elite

Dreadnought with Autocannon

Troops

5 Marines with Melta and Combi-Melta in a Drop Pod with Deathwind Launcher

5 Scouts with CCW&BP, 1 Shotgun and 1 Bolter

Fast

Rhino with Dozer Blade

Razorback with Heavy Bolter

Heavy

10 Devastators with 4 Grav Cannons in a Rhino with Dozer Blade

Whirlwind

It's only 850 points and I can't take doubles of any unit, thats why the devs will be combat squaded and riding in the 2 Rhinos. The razorback will either be alone or taking the scouts, or depending on the enemy it can also contain the 5 Tactical Marines with Librarian.

Wish me luck and maybe I'll be able to make a little report smile.png

Hi!

@Epher : Not exactly. The rules were that you can take a CAD with no doubles in any slot, or 1 formation. And the Dreadnought is there in the list, you just missed it smile.png

@DarkAngeal : No doubles in slots, but I can use same units (like a rhino) if the come from different slots.

Oh, and I did change my list a bit before the tournament. The drop pod changed from being a dedicated transport to being a fast attack choice. This gave me much more flexibility in deploying my units.

Anyway back from the tournament which was awesome! I had great 4 games with nice opponents and some nice army's.

I got some pictures, but I always get too excited after the first game and forget to take more.

Anyway my first game was against Grey Knights. My opponent had a pretty army consisting of a Librarian, 5 Terminators, 5 Strikes in Rhino, 5 Interceptors and a Dreadknight :

Thats after the first turn. Sadly it was a big mismatch for him thanks to my Grav Cannons and I was able to wipe him out in turn four

http://i62.tinypic.com/ifbk07.jpg

Thats turn 2, as you can see only the Dreadknight and the Rhino are still alive. All in all a crushing win for me.

Second game was against Eldar, which was pretty obvious after such a big win in round 1 smile.png;)

His army was something like this : Farseer on a bike, 2x3 Scatter Bike, 4 Scatter Bikes, 5 D-Flamers in a Serpent and 1 D-Cannon.

I decided to counter his first turn by putting my Devastators combat squaded in the Drop Pod and coming with my scouts and tacticals with Librarian from outflank (Ambush WL), sadly it didn't work sad.png

http://i58.tinypic.com/30mbnzo.jpg

Thats my first and second turn. We had a huge rules discussion which took up most of the time we had for the game, so it ended in turn 2. it didn't really mattered that much because by then I was out of Devastators + the Wirlwind, Dreadnought and one rhino were also death.

Those are the last pictures I took at the tournament, like I said I get to excited smile.png

Anyway Game 3 was against a Skyhammer Annihilation force which consisted of 2 full units of Devastators combat squaded to 2 units with multimeltas and gravcannons each plus 2 units of 7 and 8 assault marines with flamers.

I rolled the night attacker WL and deployed behind a small hill in the corner of my table edge protecting everything valuable with an empty Razorback and Scouts. He droped, killed the Razorback and scouts and after that was mostly running away with his assault marines. At the end he only had 1 Assault Marine left which simply refused to die despite taking 2 Grav-Cannons, a lot of bolters, Deathwind Launcher and even some psychic shriek to the face. Still a big win for me.

Last game was against orks....oh it has been years since I played against orks!!

He had a mega boss with the stick, a painboy on a bike, 30 boyz with a claw nob, 10 boyz in a truck, 7 tankbustas in a truck, a deathkopta and a battery of some cannons with s8 ap1!!

Anyway I didn't have enought fire power to go through all those boyz. My grav cannons were useless this game, and the whirlwind was very dissapointing (one hit in 5 turns) A little bit of luck in the last turn would give me something along a tie or a small defeat, but the luck just wasn't there - razorback immobilized itself trying to reach an objective. His truck on last hull points managed to make three 5+ cover saves, and his tankbustas without a nob managed to pass 2 leadership tests. All in all a big win for him.

So I went 2-0-2 which isn't bad, but it's not good either smile.png Although I did achieved my goal :

It's finally mine!!! Muahahaha....ekhm.

So yeah I can stop playing fluffy painted list, next time it will be hard grey plastic meta winning list biggrin.png

Thanks a lot for the commant. Keeps me going that someone likes what I do smile.png

Torsos of the command squad are all from the sanguinary guard.

Here a little bonus, my chaplains :

I need to say I always thought that this model is  a bit "meh". But painted it really comes to life and it did grown on me....so much that I got a second one in

queue.
 
So enjoy the pretty pictures and let me know what you think guys!
