Damon Nightman Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks Ark! Next up are some tactical terminators using the normal kit. I'm leaning towards painting them gold, as well. My entire OIF would be gold in this case, which I think would look pretty nice on the table. Other option would be my normal 1st company scheme of red armor and white helms. Should I do them all gold or just leave the gold for the older/rarer terminators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 In my opinion I think by this point they should all be gold :p Terminators are the elite of the elite :p Damon Nightman 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazcruzk Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I can't wait to see them with shields, they look imposing as hecks. I'll throw my hat in the gold boat as well! Damon Nightman 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) So I'm about to start painting some more termies. Question: how does the gold armor, red under armor?, and white helm look on my last termies? Should be s page back, but I can repost pics later. The white helm signifies them being part of the 1st co, but I'm not sure it "works" or looks especially great with the gold and red armor... any thoughts? Should I get rid of the white helms or maybe the red underneath the gold armor? Or does it look fine like that and I should stop making things difficult? Edit: also had my first game with the OIF, hopefully will be able to post pics of the game later. It went very well for me!

LutherMax Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I like the Termie scheme a lot - I'm doing white helms for my vets too so I'm a bit biased, but I also like the way the red breaks up the gold - might look a bit plain otherwise. Looking forward to the report! Damon Nightman 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I've been slacking here.... need to get that battle report up! I'll do a quick intro here and add picks and more details when I get home later. Good news: the OIF worked out wonderfully! I ended up picking up a discounted box of termies on Amazon after so now i have wayyy too many termies.... 15 assault, 5 tactical, and hopefully can magnetize the last 5 to be tacs or assault. What sucks is that I have 3x5 man assault units all with different termie armor, so I can't make a 10 man squad without it looking weird... oh well... So game vs Grey Knights My list roughly was: - DCSF: - 1 DCC - 1 DC dread in pod - 5 DC, PF, drop pod - 6 DC, PF, Jps - 5DC, PF, JPs -OIF: - 5 Th/SS - 3 LC, 2 TH/SS - 5 tactical with Asscan -CAD - Karl - Cassor in pod - Scouts with homer Grey Knights (going from memory and no idea the names of their squads) - Storm Raven with 10 termie guys in it - 5 man squad of regular power armored guys with 2 HFs - 2 Dreadknights - 5 or 6 man termie squad that had 2 wounds each - HQ guy that went with the 2 wound guys - possibly another 10 man termie squad? (Hard to remember, you'll see why when the full report is posted...) I got first turn and started with the two DC squads with jump packs, DCC, and scouts on the board. He started with the power armored guys and the 2 dreadknights on the board. We played Emperor's Will I believe (each of us had 1 objective in our zone). My scouts infiltrated or whatever up the left side to get the homer in a good spot, the DC squads stormed up the middle of the field, and I dropped both dreads in, one in front of each dreadknight (not a good idea). I shot with what I could, but didn't do any damage... His turn: he moved the dreadknights next to my dreads to get ready to charge while the powered armor dudes stayed put near his own objective. He terleported in the 2 wound termie guys with one or two HQ guys? Near my objective, next to my D.C. Squad with DCC. He forgot to port in another squad I believe (he forgets rules frequently since he switches armies a lot..) Dreadknights unloaded on my dreads and the one killed Cassor. The other dread survived the shooting but got wrecked in CC against the dreadknight (which I should have seen coming). The dreadknight that killed Cassor tried to charge my poor scouts, but failed! My scouts put a wound on him during overwatch too! Turn 2 coming soon! Riot Earp and LutherMax 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) I'm bored at work so I'll just finish this now and edit everything/add pics later...Turn two:I dropped in my other 5 man D.C. Squad, and the OIF came in! Since my drop pods and scouts were spread out pretty well, I could put my termies pretty much anywhere I wanted. Squad with all TH/SS landed next to the not wounded dreadknight, the other assault squad next to the power armored guys, and the tactical squad with Karl next to his 2wound termies and HQ. The 5 man D.C. Squad with JPs got next to the wounded dreadknight hoping to finish it off with the help of my scouts. Other D.C. Squad with Chap got in position to charge the 2wound termies.My shooty termies unloaded on the 2 wounders and only did 3 wounds (maybe that math hammers out right?), and the DCC melted one with his inferno pistol.The scouts charged the dreadknight and are the overwatch for the D.C. Squad near them. The scouts ended up putting two more wounds on the knight in CC! His knight killed 3 DC, but the PF guy finished off the last wound on the knight!The hybrid assault termie squad charged the power armored guys and annihilated them with ease. The Th/SS guys charged the dreadknight, lost two guys and did zero wounds... (sounds about right for a squad I just painted and was excited to use). The DCC and squad charged his HQ and termie squad and wiped the floor with them.And that was the end of the game! My opponent conceded, thinking he had no way to win at this point (I think he still had a shot). So I forgot what else he had really because it never actually came on the table... Edit: So it wouldn't let me upload most of the pics for some reason, but here is turn 2 before combat: After: Edited February 17, 2017 by Brother Lemartes Riot Earp and LutherMax 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon Nightman Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks guys. It was such a short game it's hard to really say.... My plan was to camp them on my objective the rest of the game, and he partly gave up because he thought he wouldn't be able to get them off of it.

LutherMax Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Bit of a shame he gave up really, did he really have that little left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 I think it was a storm raven with a 10 man termie squad and I'm pretty sure a second 10 man squad, but I could be wrong about the second squad... If it was two squads and a Raven, he def had a chance still. He was pretty demoralized after he fed me his HQ though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot Earp Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 No problem. But i stumbled over this thought no never . No that i´v thought about storm ravens im in eager to play my angels fury. Hope that i can test it end of next month. ^^ I can understand when opponents whiff if they don´t see a win on the horizon. At some point it is only beating the dead horse. The main point is that both should have fun playing a game to the end. If my opponent is upset as he see the game lost i´ve no problem calling the game. Do you want to play this list a long time or are you a list hopper like me? ^^ (Cant play two games in a row with the same list) LutherMax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 I usually will use the same list around 3-5 times before I change too much. I really enjoyed the short time I spent with this list, so I'll probably use it for awhile. I like how aggressive it is. I was thinking of maybe running it as a LBSF with OIF as the AUX. I'd need to find room for another DCC. I would probably remove Cassor and change the CAD to a FTSF. Both DCCs would be given teleport homers since they will be up the field pretty fast with the bonus move. I was really missing the Red Thirst against the Grey Knights and their power weapons with the DC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 My list roughly was: - DCSF: - 1 DCC - 1 DC dread in pod - 5 DC, PF, drop pod - 6 DC, PF, Jps - 5DC, PF, JPs -OIF: - 5 Th/SS - 3 LC, 2 TH/SS - 5 tactical with Asscan -CAD - Karl - Cassor in pod - Scouts with homer I'm a big fan of that list, how many points was it, 1750?

Damon Nightman Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Xenith, it should be around 1850, but I may not have included all the upgrades there. I'll double check when I get home later and post a more exact list. Charlo, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
