Happy, Friendly Nom nom noms...

Next year I have signed up to go to Adepticon.  I am playing in the Friendly 40K games and in the combat patrol.  I have not seen the rules for combat patrols yet but I have heard that the friendly games are a 1500 list and they don't want any cheesy lists.

I have devised a snake based list that I don't think is to cheesy. Lets take a look:

HQ
Prime - Lash whip and bone sword, regeneration

Troops
10 Genestealers - Broodlord, toxin sacs
10 Genestealers - Broodlord, toxin sacs
 9 ripper swarms - toxin sacs

Fast attack 

5 Raveners - rending claws, devourers
5 Raveners - rending claws, devourers
3 Shrikes - lash whip bone sword toxin sacs

Heavy Support
Trygon Prime  Bio electric pulse, regen

Nothing too bad.  I don't have a Doom or a winged hive tyrant so no cheese there.  I also didn't bring the hive guard so no cheesy S8, no cover save guns.

What it does have is a bunch of nom nom nom.  If my guys can get into combat I should be ok.

Next, I want to convert all my figure to having a snake body.  The raveners, rippers,  and Trygon are already snakes so I am good there.  For the shrikes I have some wings coming in from forge world that I will use on a ravener body so I they look similar to the new winged tyrant. My prime is going to be the red terror with different arms.  which leaves the genestealers.  I am going to attemt to use some greenstuff to make the bodies. I will post some pics when I get one done.

Any suggestions?

WIP Monday

I haven't had an update in a while so while I am not feeling well I thought I would put up some Picks of what I have been working on. first up is the ork grot tank squad.

Tau tag team week 3

Today is week 3 in our 2 headed general league.  After the failure that was last week I have brought back the AP2 shooting.  Lets take a look at my list.

Ork Rumors...

So, the last couple of days I have heard some rumors on new ork models coming down the pipe

Ork Miniatures (alongside the codex)
New Weirdboy
Wazdakka
MegaNobs - Tellyportas combo-kit
CybOrks
Grot Gliders - (very odd one, a 40K version of WFB Doomdivers?)
Mega Mork/Gork - (your guess is as good as mine)

Ork Miniatures (outside the codex)
New Buggy - Half-track
DeffCoptas
Flashgits - Tankbustas plastic combo-kit


Looking at these I am not very excited.  I don't need a new Weirdboy and never play Wazdakka.  I own 6 mega nobs and not sure what the cyborks is... maybe an upgrade kit like the iron hand upgrade kit. The buggy is needed as is the Deffcoptas but I don't need any.


This leaves:
flashgits/tankbusters which would be cool but not a high priority. 
Grot Gliders sounds fun/fluffy
Mega Mork / Gork  O.o  is this going to be a bigger dread along the lines of Mega Dread


These rumors come from BOLS who got them from Stickmonkey who if I remember right is not always acurate.  I would really like to start paying attention to who is the most reliable of the rumormongers.


Oh well, I am still looking for some Tau goodness but I am not holding my breath.


happy hump day.

Monday blues...

So the weekend is over and another 40k weekend tournament is in the books.  I didn't take photos or kept notes on the games so no battle reports  :( sorry.  I do have some thoughts on the raveners vs genestealer debate and I can can review how I did.

Getting ready for the weekend!

This weekend is the first weekend of the month which makes it time for Fantasy Books and Games 40K tournament.  I have decided to bring my Tyranids. I have a slight variation on the list I had been using.  lets take a look.

Tau Take 2!

We did so well last week that I felt I needed to change it up >_<  lets take a look at my list.
