The Necrons Rise. (and how that affects LATD)

Well, it seems the Necrons have gotten their much anticipated update. I'll be the first one to admit, that these models are Flipping Awesome!  In addition to a complete fluff overhaul, they've gotten more new mini's than i care to count right now.

Head on over to the GW site to check em' out.


Basically, i won't (no matter how much i want too) start a necron army. I will however be plundering these wonderfully smexy kits for all their glorious, soon to be Dark Ad Mech, bits.

Imagine the possiblities.

Sometimes it pays to be a demented worshipper of Dark Gods. and todays one of them ! 
Im pretty excited for it honestly, more than a GW release has gotten me in a while, (maybe the close lips policy was a good thing ?) 



Whats your thoughts on the Tomb Kings in Spess ?

A Flare in the Darkness!

****Transmission Begins****

I felt it neccessary to make up this short post, in between fighting successive waves of crazed blood cultists in the underhives...  

Lifes been mucking up my hobbying of late, but fear not, for i have a long weekend !  (the flare)

As a bit of an update, i have gotten a block of 37 Orc Choppa Boyz done, the Boar Mounted Warboss, and i've recieved my copy of 5150: Star Army.   Pics of these will hopefully be up sometime late Saturday evening.

Please know that, i've been wanting to get some pics and material up for you.


Next Waves coming...

Cheers !

****Transmission Ends****

Siege of the Hellstrurg Gate.

Owen and myself, upon learning of the modelling competition this sat.
Planned to play a game at my house, for the "fluff league" We set up the terrian to represent an imperial village, defended by Traitors. Owen would be playing his Soul Drinkers, which he's starting up, in place of his Black Templars, (so the St. Lusica background will be reworked).  We rolled up a Spearhead/Annhilation game, with owen on the first turn.

Major Harish's Defenders: 750 points
Command Squad w/ missile launcher

Templars w/ MoK, 3 flamers
-Kobold: 35

Platoon Command
Combined Squad, 5 power sword, commisar, vox, 4 grenade launchers
 Hvy Bolters
Autocannons

The Defenders of Hellsturg Gate


Soul Drinkers Advance Strike Force

Librarian Fadey w/ terminator armor
5 man terminator sqauad

Dreadnaught w/ lascannon and flamer

Combat Squad: Sgt, Flamer,
-Rhino

Combatt Squad: Rocket Launcher

Terrian Set-up "Pre Game"

Soul Drinkers Deployment

Traitors Deployment

First Turn kicks off, with the rocket demi-squad climbing into the building in their deployment zone, the rhino taking a cautious approach around  the same building, and the heavy elements walking off down behind their side of town's cover.  The Traitor weapons teams move up to get a better view of the main street, and get to work chewing up the demi-squad in the building.

Second turn comes up, and the demi squad and bolter crews continue their fire fight, and the rhino drives across the street to be met with grenade fire, from the 40 man squad. The termies and dread continue their pondorus advance behind the town. The Kobold, drives from behind cover, out into the street.

Turn three and four brings a turn in the game, with my kobold exploding, killing 3 templars. They dig themselves out of the rubble and move to the ruins the termies are in and achieve nothing but annoying the veteran marines, they are swiftly murdered. The rhino begins moving down the street, it is popped by the command squads missle, the explosion kills 3 of the marines inside, the remainder are charged by the combined squad and killed to a man. The troops in the building lose their missle to a heavy bolter round.

Turn 5 see's the survivng elements of the Soul Drinkers assailed by massed firepower. In which the lose the dred.

Fadey, watched as the venerable brother Ulis fell to the chaos forces missle team. His comm-link to the rest of the strike force was blank and he feared the worst. Before him a tide of chaos troopers rushed at them. With a scream of defiance Fadey and his brother terminators charged headlong into the enemy.

- Cold and Fast, Soul Drinkers !

Last confirmed transmission from Librarian Fadey.
