LGB Result

Well it was bad. Really bad. My idea of taking the smallest amount of models backfired remarkably.

So forgot my camera. Showed up hung over with a lack of sleep.
18 Players

9th for Battle
6th for Painting
18th for Composition
14th Over all.


Game 1.
Necrons - Win by phase out

Game 2.
Eldar - Win by 1 kill Point

Game 3
Blood Angels - Loss

Game 4
Blood Angels - Loss.

Overall result
Placed somewhere in the bottom half
Lowest composition score.

What Went Wrong
I learned alot.
- Dozer blades are worth it with this much armor
- Volume of Fire > Strength
- Razors with Twin Las lack synergy as you really want them going after troops
- Plasma is the new melta in the Australia Meta
- Tanks are no match for boots on the ground
- LD 9+ is a wonderfull thing
- Rune priests are good. not as brilliant as I thought.

Against the Crons I lacked the shot volumes I needed to deal with infantry
Against the Eldar I still could not wreck wave serpents
Against BA I couldn't kill infantry or tanks. One dread survived 4 twin linked las cannons and 3 auto cannons for multiple turns.

Taking this in to Consideration
New list for LoT

Seems to have plugged a few notice able holes in the list. Firstly being able to take out entrenched infantry. I also felt I didn't have enough boots on the ground and finally the ability to take out units that have separated from my opponents main force such as basilisks, heavy weapons teams, lone objective holders, devastators, etc.

Still not 100% on it but its getting there.

League Result And extras

A Win. Vs Daemon Hunters.

Spear Head, 3 Objectives, Win 1-0
I will admit that I played slow and stupid. I attacked the wrong units and didn't play with enough aggression.

Oh Well, will keep trying.

Latest idea for plasma marines is Lords of Decay. Looking like a mass of plague marines and Havoks go horde, base them so I can mix and match with my existing Khorne army.

Let Gosford Burn is next weekend, I have 3 predators left to detail. I also want my Lords of Terra list ready for next Thursday so there goes my weekend.

I am also 1 box of nobs short of having a functional Ork Army. Will have to get that going.

Thinking of trying to get my warhound done for A potential apoc game in the near futureneeds some work. The legs need to be redone, the cockpit needs work.

Will try to get plenty of pictures up this weekend.

LoT List- Ironing out the bugs

A couple of things have been bugging me about my LoT List. (see http://miscmarine.blogspot.com/2010/05/quick-lords-list.html)

1. Dreads don't do much. They're a little slow.
2. Rune Priest needs to be mobile and is better off with something expendably
3. Another termie in the second Plasma squad would improve them greatly

So Next list
Rune Prists - Lightning, hurricane
10 Wolf Guard
4 x Power fist, Bolt Gun
3 x Chain Sword, Bolt Pistol
1 x Power fist, Bolt Pistol
1 x Terminator Armor, Assault cannon, Chain Fist
1 x Terminator Armor, Storm Bolter, Chain Fist, Cyclone Missile
Rhino

4 x 5 Grey Hunters w/ Melta Guns
4 x Razor Backs - Twin linked Las Cannons
2 x 10 Grey Hunters - 2 x Plasma Guns

2 x Predators - Twin Linked Las Cannons
1 x Predator - Auto Cannon

Project Idea - looking for a Chapter

Here is my latest idea. Take my left overs, Make an army, Possibly sell as lot afterwards.

Trying to find a chapter. Suggestions would be good

Here's the Army List
Codex: Space Marines - 2000 Points

Captain - Relic Blade
Librarian - Avenger, Gate of intinity
Dreadnought - Multi melta, CCW, Heavy Flamer
Dreadnought - Multi melta, CCW, Heavy Flamer
Dreadnought - Plasma Cannon, CCW, Heavy Flamer
Tactical Squad - Power Fist, Plasma Gun, Plasma Cannon
Tactical Squad - Power Fist, Plasma Gun, Heavy Bolter
Tactical Squad - Power Fist, Melta Gun, Multi Melta
5 Scout - Power Fist
5 Scout - Power Fist
5 Scout - 4 x Snipers, 1 Heavy Bolter
5 Assault Marines - Power Fist
5 Assault Marines - Power Fist
Vindicator
5 Devastators - 4 Missile Launchers

Now the tricky bit. I already have Red Marines (Khorne), Green Marines(Nurgle), Blue Marines (Space Wolves), Black Marines (Chaos). So Those are out, I want this army to stand out from the rest. Imperial fists are also out due to a friend of mine already using them.

This is basically slapped together with what I have lying around so little inflexible in the list

So Give me a chapter name.

Quick up date

There has been a general lack of posting at the moment, Lots happening, Pictures soon.

My list for Let Gosford Burn is nearly done, My list for lords will be ready for play testing next Thursday. That only leaves expanding the list for Apoc which will involve 20 Wolf Guard and a Land Raider.

My Khorne army is now a Khorne Nurgle army (Kharne, Prince, 24 Zerkers, 21 Plauge Marines, 3 Bikers, 3 Rhinos, Greater daemon)

This leaves me with 6 bikers, 20 ish assault marines, 50ish black reach marines, 20ish other marines, 3 Dreadnoughts, 5 Blood letters, 20ish Scouts, 3 Characters and a land raider I'm not really doing anything with. Might try and sell them at MOAB, finance my Orks. I could do a Crimson Fist sniper Army. Some will no doubt get drafted into my apoc army.
