Special Mission - "BOLTER BALL"

BOLTER BALL

Special Mission - RE: Your Brains

RE: YOUR BRAINS
Your unit has been ordered to investigate a small urban center where communications have gone down.
High command orders your squad to spread out to discover more information quickly.  Well. You discover the information. This town is infested with Plague Zombies!

Special Mission - "The Meat Grinder"

THE MEAT GRINDER
War is underway. As in all conflicts, one of your primary objectives is to take away your enemies ability to wage war. Strike at the enemies troops. Kill their bodies to break their spirit.

Special Mission - "CRASH LANDING"

"CRASH LANDING"
In this special mission both players are attempting to locate and capture a damaged aircraft that is entering the planet's atmosphere. The aircraft could be owned by one of the sides or perhaps contains some valuable intel, technology or individual that each side wants to either capture or destroy. Conflict breaks out at the projected crash landing zone until the aircraft blazes in and crash lands at a random location on the board. Both sides will then scramble to get to the objective point and control it.

Close Combat Blob

Dear anyone who has ever said the Imperial Guard can't handle CC,

Commissar Yarrick + 5 Infantry Squads (combined) + Special Weapon Squad. The squads all have a Power Weapon on the Sarge. Toss Col Straken in there for funsies. What does that leave us with?
More than 50 infantry models? Yes. But what's better?
They all have furious charge.
Even better that that?

5 S7 I1 power fist attacks
20 S4 I4 power weapon attacks
87 S4 I4 attacks 

They all get to re-roll any failed Hits.
Aww yeeeeeeeeeeee.
Toss a couple Flamers in the squads to soften up the target even further and sweet baby Jesus you got yourself a formidable CC force.

Thoughts?

ARMY LIST - "Extermination Detail"

Themed list I built this afternoon. I am trying to play more "fun" lists lately instead of purely competitively.
That being said, I have this 1750pt themed list "Extermination Detail" - affectionately named for it's weapon selection - Lot's of Flamers/Template weapons.
You will notice this is a dominantly anti-infantry list, obviously lacking in much (if any) AV14 clearance. Ordinarily that would be a problem, but in this case (as stated before) I'm going for the feel of the list not so much the "All Comers" effectiveness.
So without further yammering on my part, I give you the list.

From the Warp: What's my army missing?

Happened across this article the other day. Wise words, indeed.

From the Warp: What's my army missing?

(respectfully stolen from FTW)

"All the time I see articles listing how an army needs to have this or that or whatever included in it and if you don't, you'll never stand a chance at winning.

Sidhero vs Ironshot (IG vs Daemons) 5500pts

This past Saturday, Ironshot and myself went head to head - Apoc style.
This was my first ever apoc game as well as my first match against daemons..
I unfortunately was ill-equipped to do up a proper report, but can say that it was an exciting match-up.
I had a blast despite getting ripped to shreds turn after turn.

Free time

Busy week this week was.

Working on a couple new conversion while I try to pass the time waiting for the Sons of Russ to get to my door.  Going to try to knock out 2 Leman Russ Demolisher conversions before my big fight with the Daemons (5500 pts).
Played a quick match with my brother's Orks a couple of nights ago, will post the report soon.

Until then...

Growing a beard...

It only seems appropriate whit an incoming Space Wolves army.

I've been doing a lot of reading and I think I have come up with my shopping list. Really trying to go "fluffy" with the Woofies.

Inaguration Day
