Lunar Lynx Vow/project

Maybe he is not bleeding out but instead just received Medical care and should be resting.  He could have bandages over his power Armour.  His sitting up would look more like an act of defiance.

 

white gauze over black with red blood.  I could add a drag trail of blood up the ramp.

I will put a 3 man Aggressor squad with auto boltstorm/ frag grenade launcher following behind.  111pts

 

The razor should screen the Aggressors while I advance both down field. The squads objective is to act as a distraction drawing fire.  I will get the Units close with in 12 inches of a hoard unit then Dakka, Dakka Dakka.

The units can easily switch to melee if my opponent wants to go that way or if I need to chump a large guy or tank.  3 Power fists and a Plasma Pistol for the heavy armor + Liberian.

 

 

Any thoughts?

Good job on the new models.

Maybe he is not bleeding out but instead just received Medical care and should be resting. He could have bandages over his power Armour.

In Dan Abnett's Brothers of the Snake, an Apothecary uses sterile clay to cover wounds when performing combat first aid. Makes sense, considering power armor plates' thickness will prevent bandages from properly resting on the wound, unless the plates are removed before the bandage is applied- hard to do when the enemy is still shooting at you.

His sitting up would look more like an act of defiance.

I agree.

white gauze over black with red blood. I could add a drag trail of blood up the ramp.

Good ideas.

[WickedApp]

I Imagine that in combat situations if an Apothecary or non-apothecary performing quick medical treatment, there would be a 2 part epoxy paste that both seals the wound and would close the armor.  Some thing that would buy the marine time, and still allow the suit to function.  Imagine a chalking gun.  After treatment, gauze could be applied to strengthen the bond to the armor.

 

 

the blood trail up the ramp is easy to do and will be self explanatory.  Gauze & Blood might not be as easy to see.  It is a bit dark inside the chamber.  I do not want to add lighting.  (an LED inserted into a cut drinking straw tube; wired to the front cabin and set to a light reader switch; operating from a watch battery; would fit the bill)

 

I could place hoses going into him from the ship.

 

here is the problem

Im done  messing with it.  Spent more time working on the guy with the gun then the whole project.

 

The scene is not too bad to look at with out direct lighting, you can make out the stuff.

Used flash on the photo above.

 

Thank you all for your support.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[WickedApp]

Next project, Ven Dread, and a rhino repaint/remodel to Razor maybe.

 

So, silly me goes and builds an Ultramarine Smash captain yesterday.  Idle hands are the devils work I  guess.

I was trying to fit a Liberian (fast attack) or smash captain in some where.  I saw a Relic for Ultramarine Captains The Sanctic Halo 3+ Invul & attempt to deny 1 psychic power.  Seems a good mix of the two.  Pictures later.

The razorback looks great with the injured guy in the back, as do the rest of the models. Lascannon devastator ones are my favourite.

 

Is that a model or a pet crow on your table above the command squad?

[WickedApp]

What the rest of you do not own crows?  What kind of dedicated Corvus Clan is this?

 

It is a Halloween decoration.  It was sold as a raven but it is way too small.  The fake ones are easier to work with.

I actually found a really cool raven skull this year at World Market Cost Plus made out of that cheap foam-like resin. I was very close to buying it, repainting it, then having it to use in a display board application.

I have passed up deals like that many times and then tried to go back and get them, but it is usually to late.  Saw a Glass Head just under life size that was hollow.  I though wow thats cool looking but what do I need it for.  Later that night I'm like I could build a robot inside and make it do things, I could fill it with goo that looks like brains or painted zombie stuff....  Other ones on line were 4 times the price.  Missed that, but I did save money by not building a Robot Head. So I guess it worked out.

Deploy scouts in forward objective w/ cover sit and wait

 

load Razorback w/ Elite Vanguard, having Aggressors walking behind using as cover.  Head for auxillury HQ unit. Dakka  distraction

 

Stormhawk Interceptor to take out any flyers T1+T2 mop up duty after that (if still alive)

 

Bikes move around field act as cover for The Emperors Champion, and to take away Over Watch, allowing Smash Captains to move in

 

Sergent Telion sits in the back field hitting and killing hangs w/ Devs or scouts

 

jump pack units Deep strike T2 targets of opportunity

 

1) goal is to provide enough distraction that the necrons leave the Troops alone.

2) Smash Captains act as guided Missiles doing most of the brunt work

3) Vanguard acts like an Axe cutting into the ranks then surgically taking on the HQ

4) main army waits acts as gun line using range as they sit on Objectives

 

 

Any thoughts?  What would you do differently?  Any Blaring mistakes?  Advice is welcome.  Thank you nice folks.

Well on my way to the Necron Threat.  My Luna Lynx ran into sister sorority ,  I played a 2000 pt list as above - srgt Telion, - Stormhawk Interceptor.

My opp, played a list of stormbolters and heavy bolters.  He fielded 80 models.  I fielded less.

 

We played for 3 turns (it was getting late). I conceded to his 12 objective pts (mine was at 6) He had at end 40+ models, I had 22.  If the game went longer I might have been able to table him T6-7. 

take away from the battle:  Snipers Squad, killed warlord T1, wounded captain 3w of 4w, Celestine 3 mortal wounds

      Storm Raven gunship, mopped up the field wounding 3 Units, and taking no damage.

      Devs: did fine only hitting half their targets

      Razorback died T1

      Aggressors made their Pts

      Emporeor's champ took a while to walk to kill guys but did great at dodging, made his pts taking out a captain

      Bikers traded

      scouts mostly died

      Libby, almost made his pts

      Apothacary, did nothing

     bannerman, gave Aggressors 2 more shots

     Captains, LT; acted as guided missiles, they failed at the role.  2 aimed a Celestine (she died but reanimated) 

              I think they would have aided the war effort better with the auras effects near my troops

 

       Large hoard armys take objectives easily, and can be equally divided allowing for wide board coverage.

My army needs to act like a driving axe head.  trying to be fancy wont work well.

 

 

My army then moved on to the Necron Army.

post results and take aways later.

[WickedApp]

Sorry for the wait, life stuff.

 

1500 pt game vs Necrons.  Not sure what he played, 9 devistators model & warlord. A spider looking thing w/ heavy guns.  A plane, lots of necron infantry.

He had about 50 models on field.

 

I played list above minus Apothecary, Devestator squad, and Supreme command squad.  I played 46 models.

Played with objective cards.

 

I won with him conceding end of T3.  It was getting late.

My Sniper scouts were the MVP, Killing his captain by T2, wounding his warlord, taking out the last Destroyer.  They took a lot of fire reducing a 8 man squad to 4.

Honorable mentions, Stormraven Interceptor , Destroyed his plane T1 and killed many of his Devetators 11 kills (they got back up)

Storm hawk Talon, sat in back field and punched away at his Heavys, T2 a squad jumped into my backfield and the talon killed them all to the man. T3 I flew into his backfield scored pts and readied for a good display of guns.

Devestator squad got 4 kills over the game. They put a lot of hurt on guys that allowed other to finish the job

 

Weakest links for the game

Bikers, scout bikers, scouts w/ knives

I did not expect much of these units but they took the early shots

 

I swarmed the side of the board with his Destroyers and worked them till they ran or died.  He was cut off from his main army due to terrain.

He had no answers to my T7 amour vehicles after I killed off his Destroyers.  He conceded after that.

My smash captain took on the Heavy spider on turn 2 making his charge. but not killing it leaving it with 1 wound left, Devestors finished it off. 

 

take aways I used a lot of firepower on the destroyers early and it took a long time for it to work ( scout squad, aggressor squad, devestator squad, Razorback)
