What seems like an eternity of not actually finishing anything, I have managed to get some shit done. So without boring anyone with the whys and wherefores of the hiatus here are some old models with a few newer bits added to them.</p><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">GSC Cultist and Mr Boneshirt</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Before genestealer neophytes got sexy they were generally sculpted by Bob Olley way back in the dawn of time (1990s) back when they were £2.99 for 5, I didn't actually buy them then, I played the long game and bought them on eBay when they were considerably more expensive. The model on the right is one of those cultist, whereas the guy on the left is an old Confrontation ganger from that era too. The Cultist has some Attalan Jackal arms and the guy with shades has an ole conversion beamer from Rogue Trader times that will proxy as a seismic cannon. What I think is particularly worth noting is the guy on the left has a shirt with many bones set upon it, like some Grimdark Lady Gaga!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFuZYcaA5yRkyzCA3ok4LZMZhnRRwKQkjhC9ZwfGbKxhf7L2llA88olisJ3KU58s0rrz_eZ0XETEzVFExSC0PN7RyI5iaz7jR48F6Db8O9dIoeWuLnYKafOgRhP_tXW-VT63mdIwbi5hVswaULnfjGfnELgxENddaTBnHXUwoQdB7c1iu-sUcGT02HS_5C/s1440/IMG_20240218_145254_040.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFuZYcaA5yRkyzCA3ok4LZMZhnRRwKQkjhC9ZwfGbKxhf7L2llA88olisJ3KU58s0rrz_eZ0XETEzVFExSC0PN7RyI5iaz7jR48F6Db8O9dIoeWuLnYKafOgRhP_tXW-VT63mdIwbi5hVswaULnfjGfnELgxENddaTBnHXUwoQdB7c1iu-sUcGT02HS_5C/w400-h400/IMG_20240218_145254_040.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Boney Badromancy & Wrecker Maghee</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Delaque Gangers and/or Cultists</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Quite some time ago, an article in white dwarf had some scenario ideas for Necromunda models, one of these ideas was painting up Delaques as scientists with lab coats. I loved this idea and went with it,and a mere 20 years later finally finished up 20 Delaques for said scenario, Now I have been painting these on and off for quite a while but now I think they're <span style="color: #cc0000;">*</span>done. What had given me the final push was 40k 10th edition where I could fit 4 heavy weapons into a Neophyte hybrid squad. I made a couple more conversion beamer/seismic cannon hybrids to give myself a unit of baldies for my GSC army that could be a) members of the guild of dental assistants, b) a squad of militant painters and decorators or c) sperm bank employees on a field trip to give out free samples of Genestealer DNA.

Six objective markers that can represent places of interest of the battlefields of the far future. Depending on the scenario they could be relics inserted into dying humans and/or skeletons, secret plans inserted into dying humans and/or skeletons, elixirs, instagram hotspots or any number of plot devices that have been inserted into dying humans and/or skeletons. In any case you may be seeing a lot more of these and even some objective markers themed around some of my other armies too. Until then hobby responsibly and always read the label.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Thanks for reading.</h2>Jason Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515009106842594803noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363654280607331339.post-61428064788547165532023-07-22T10:43:00.002+01:002023-07-22T10:44:03.079+01:00Beldam Qud's Toxic Helpers<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Greetings. Recently I finished some faux Wracks for my Drukhari army. They were started when Wracks were harder than hens teeth to get from FLGS. By the time I finished them though, I could've bought dozens. Also I wasn't in the mood to shell out €70ish to have a ten elf unit. So for those interested I will go through what bits of plastic were used to create them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Fluff</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Beldam Qud is the name of my rather ugly Haemonculus. She has fought in quite a few battles but has a tendency to wander away from her bodyguard Talos and got killed for a while. Now she has the ability in 10th to actually join a unit she might be a bit more resilient. Qud has taken an interest in a small Tarrelian colony after sending allies to the colony she requested fresh Tarrelian limbs for her experiments. She has entered into an alliance of sorts with Adraxys Molech the Archon I have been using to terrorise mortals in realspace raids.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">The Help</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Some time ago I inherited some High Elf archer legs that I planned to to use for various projects, then came my desire to use Wracks and a rummage around in my bits box I found the torsos of Wood Elf wild riders and sisters of the thorn. A few bits from the Talos kits made some creepy arms. So here's the sadistic cutter uppers.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Just a quick update on some more members of the Assembly of D'Keddes my genestealer cult army. As the new 10th edition has dropped I'm trying to fill in gaps in my army, but the first two aren't gaps, just models I wanted to finish.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Neophyte Leaders</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">These two were constructed before GW decided to give neophyte leaders nothing in the way of options for the data cards. This is fine and dandy as I believe there will be a bit more to choose from is 2024 or 2025 but for now they can just hang around in the throng. For those interested they are on the left a human bomb from 1990's Imperial Guard and on the left is an even older confrontation miniature. Both are metal models where generic IG arms were then attached but I though a couple of new GSC arms would do the business. The bomber has an Attilan hammer in one hand and I think an Attilan gangsta posed bolt pistol. On the left we have an Attilan shotgun and hammer. Also of note is the collection of human(?) bones attached to his waist. Very grimdark. They are attired in the bland colours of D'Keddes so they won't stand out to enemy snipers that much. Or will they?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpXseBHeh2KgiQUX_YeBbbBqK3RSI0EI36MDsa4qMgMFL70cJESNIdPxfWgsOwFq_lq4tcqbiGmHhsjzDZvMH6cWB2JDj3xA-tLr539GKAniKMut5bO-WgnOT5pW1VlMbRxlLqKVC_1yDmcxqzUZwT0aN1kZtH8w1nYA57UcV1t9PxdFsefKtlQXCh1hgf/s4624/20230627_201459.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4624" data-original-width="3468" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpXseBHeh2KgiQUX_YeBbbBqK3RSI0EI36MDsa4qMgMFL70cJESNIdPxfWgsOwFq_lq4tcqbiGmHhsjzDZvMH6cWB2JDj3xA-tLr539GKAniKMut5bO-WgnOT5pW1VlMbRxlLqKVC_1yDmcxqzUZwT0aN1kZtH8w1nYA57UcV1t9PxdFsefKtlQXCh1hgf/w480-h640/20230627_201459.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Smasher McBoom & Specs the Bone Collector.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tarrelian Metamorphs</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">A while ago I made some <a href="https://thefatgitseffort.blogspot.com/2021/09/alien-hybrids-receptacles-psychotic.html" target="_blank">Tarrelian/genestealer hybrids</a> as I had a plantiful supply of never to be used Saurus.

After a long lull in my painting, I've managed to get some shit done. Aeldari Voidscarred. no less, not the bespoke Kill team that recently came out but some severely mangled metal guardians that I had lying about. The cheap knock off Dremel was taken out of it's protective faux case, and heads were removed, the bits box was raided and voila! A fancy unit that can accompany (for now anyway) both Aeldari and Drukhari armies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Felarch</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">First up is the leader with a slightly odd name. the model is an Aeldari Guardian model with a Drukhari helmet and a neuro disrupter from an old metal Solitaire. His sword arm is one half of a pair of Klaivex Demiklaives. I could give him a Faolchú which is Aeldari for falcon.

The Shade Runner is kind of a Wych that got involved in thievery as far as I can tell, (I didn't read up on them so this is an educated stab in the dark). This is a bare headed guardian with a pair of Mirrorswords that I got from an eBay purchase. The other guy is an intact arm swapped Guardian. He has a Kabalite power sword and blast pistol (even though he's not allowed, but that's what living on the fringe of Aeldari society does for you).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_JJ4Yi92EdDbrj6m5KBQXkoPPzeZGcXOw2PWUMf0nMtdBPI6iPXUi53vodng039J8h1ZTwGPQJVWH5wJHlo2HRR2Cd3kZxZBp5Y5EgSjvXnOEZl5y5dR3AVOEkkx11UEGeNj2I5ih7Ob4DRqGwwpOocYvvfrVQMHOQw4vZzI8R1eRMZF-Yycs_8gAZQ/s1440/IMG_20230522_130322_021.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_JJ4Yi92EdDbrj6m5KBQXkoPPzeZGcXOw2PWUMf0nMtdBPI6iPXUi53vodng039J8h1ZTwGPQJVWH5wJHlo2HRR2Cd3kZxZBp5Y5EgSjvXnOEZl5y5dR3AVOEkkx11UEGeNj2I5ih7Ob4DRqGwwpOocYvvfrVQMHOQw4vZzI8R1eRMZF-Yycs_8gAZQ/w400-h400/IMG_20230522_130322_021.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Darkethá & Rebellious Zim</b></td></tr></tbody></table><h3 style="text-align: left;">Grunt #2 & Way Seeker</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Grunt #2 has a Kabalite helmet and has stolen a Lizardman shield to go with his power sword. I figure that his travels have taken him to some backwater planet where shields are still a thing and he's nabbed it. Of course he had to wade through dozens of primitive shield owners until he got the one he liked best. The Way Seeker was a much more fiddly conversion as I had to line up two plastic arms with a metal Hellion glaive. A Scourge head with a Harlequin mask completes the ensemble.

Yes I had gotten lucky with the taking out of certain key enemy units (the dread and eradicators). Combat went very well as I had thrown the two Venoms into the fray possibly a little prematurely but it left some of Dylan's shooty units unable to do so. Once again the Incubi and Wyches proved to be horrific butchers of Marines as do Hellions. It's probably worth reiterating that this game was pre <i>Armour of Contempt</i> and as such the Drukhari are probably ideal Astartes killers.

Following the release of <i>Arks of Omen; Abaddon, </i>I decided to give it a go. I saw some videos on YouTube and got the itch to play some space hulk type games. I had pre ordered the book from GWs website only for it to arrive some 10 days after it was supposed to on the day of the game. Never being one to let ignorance of rules interfere with a game, myself and Dylan decided to plough on with a game. Another thing to note is I am too scabby to buy the GW boarding actions terrain (for now anyway) so I am using Necromunda bulkheads, Warhammer Quest doorways and various other terrain that if you squint really hard could pass for the inside of a space hulk. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjZIA4fo8BvxKEwlEPAgRmmXUmVTRzUw9i6Ut9Uv9f0wNF0F-AjbLBHhg_6EMoCJakbPBQrLjimYv_wuUvZqv8vgK1FQrYnrwTRib2WeBOmXakPWeOFpLYK2zqkFaW7qpHCJHkyXJ3pXob8TvMYqW8vYXSuyXX4-8wA9jbk_jU0lVWk3n6wSCfBEj9QQ/s1599/IMG-20230126-WA0019.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1599" data-original-width="899" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjZIA4fo8BvxKEwlEPAgRmmXUmVTRzUw9i6Ut9Uv9f0wNF0F-AjbLBHhg_6EMoCJakbPBQrLjimYv_wuUvZqv8vgK1FQrYnrwTRib2WeBOmXakPWeOFpLYK2zqkFaW7qpHCJHkyXJ3pXob8TvMYqW8vYXSuyXX4-8wA9jbk_jU0lVWk3n6wSCfBEj9QQ/w225-h400/IMG-20230126-WA0019.jpg" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>The Death Guard deploy.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><h3 style="text-align: justify;">The Scenario</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">We decided to play <i>Access Junction Primus, </i>the first scenario in the book which has a central open space with four objectives. Points are scored for 1, 2 and more than your opponent with additional CP's for purging the ship of enemies. Nice and simple.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">The Narrative</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">My initial boarding force are a splinter cell of <i>The Assembly of D'Keddes </i>who have resided on the <i>Great Gout, </i>a space hulk for several centuries. Unknown to the assembly it has been given to a Nurgle warhost by Abaddon to further his spikey plans. When a routine Nurgle patrol discovered Aberrant dung along some of the walkways a group was sent to investigate and kill. Due to the enormity of The Great Gout quite a sizeable force of Genestealers reside on it and have been running a racket whereby incautious explorers get waylaid and infected with Genestealer genetic material then released back into their respective 'people' to begin the breeding cycle elsewhere. When within the deepest bowels of the <i>Gout </i>the Patriarch became aware of a large number of invaders, the cult was mobilised.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><h3>The Boarding Parties</h3><div>The cult force consists of two Acolyte Hybrid units, a neophyte squad, 5 Aberrants, Biophagus Nerm and force leader Stumbleklunk an Abominant. They are of the Twisted Helix strain so +1 strength and +1 move make them ideal close quarter fighters. Dylan took two five man units of Plague Marines 10 Poxwalkers, five Deathshroud Terminators and their leader was a minor character, a Foul blightspawn if memory serves.</div><div><br /></div><h3>The Disclaimer</h3><div>I do not have boarding party terrain so a quick search of my terrain collection enabled me for the most part to construct an approximation of the map in the book. This includes necromunda bulkheads, Warhammer Quest doorways and various other bits. the game itself was to figure out what the boarding parties games would be like and let myself and Dylan know if we want to play more in that vein. Photography was a bit meh too, as I have to yet sort out adequate lighting in the loft.</div><div><br /></div><h3>The Game</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The fun thing with Cult armies in boarding actions is that due to the lack of being able to use blips, my army always sets up last, regardless. So the Death guard set up with the Terminators in a teleportarium somewhere. I set up with all my bodies on the ground (gravity permitting). In the centre was the Abberants, five Hybrids and Stumbleklunk. North of them was another five Hybrids and to the south were the Neophytes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCWjKJbfEBjMQRoGFcYNmTyD54rO3ix700FF3xBCm29_WOP1ojM3z4ULydYIUcP5FFzbh-XuJJxh9iHfPT7K7tfaGQbml2NgZYoumel4renD_dh27VlT64X3811Vf1EBsN11XrJv2ivujlTBhoafS-TUvCqLtinMb1FZckWUwRsxjpK_xo28uH0xLTg/s1351/IMG-20230126-WA0009%20-%20Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1351" data-original-width="879" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCWjKJbfEBjMQRoGFcYNmTyD54rO3ix700FF3xBCm29_WOP1ojM3z4ULydYIUcP5FFzbh-XuJJxh9iHfPT7K7tfaGQbml2NgZYoumel4renD_dh27VlT64X3811Vf1EBsN11XrJv2ivujlTBhoafS-TUvCqLtinMb1FZckWUwRsxjpK_xo28uH0xLTg/w416-h640/IMG-20230126-WA0009%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="416" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: justify;"><b>The idiotically deployed Neophytes skulk through small chambers rather than set up where there is the only long firing lane.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH_zbTqyEHBJYTjObFg5WqK7dVzSbQVJtvlA3PRE2f3lxGMKbzsXcZw8IsW_zBmaOlSv-WmWn14eO06Bp6wLhiJICa3i7CY_QhJaYmNcYqVnjAL5jO3imLtIMkAuM_lgTEdiGu5N37sk8lZ-3MjgnMFN-PInxmHaR0h7bnEHjBzy0zRhBF7Gez0Y2GnA/s1181/IMG-20230126-WA0010%20-%20Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1181" data-original-width="894" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH_zbTqyEHBJYTjObFg5WqK7dVzSbQVJtvlA3PRE2f3lxGMKbzsXcZw8IsW_zBmaOlSv-WmWn14eO06Bp6wLhiJICa3i7CY_QhJaYmNcYqVnjAL5jO3imLtIMkAuM_lgTEdiGu5N37sk8lZ-3MjgnMFN-PInxmHaR0h7bnEHjBzy0zRhBF7Gez0Y2GnA/w484-h640/IMG-20230126-WA0010%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="484" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: justify;"><b>The red blips denote closed doorways until I manage to either create hinged doors or beg steal or borrow the proper terrain.<br /><br /></b></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDkHxVBkl1F9Zl-A28xN9wXUr5-pQ99VcxszK5waDEpq9lJ9qWEst3HzyXlf9MYckPnqeZrhbOPxQ6x6LBNRuBLc3TfnAwuYt2WEYSLI8MNcQkj1WtqwQ30VbsrDw4VF_axeY9JFeN0v1qBdX2IRw2AObifHEP0YrPUjQ1goDu003lkNDv_zqXnUXBZA/s3672/IMG-20230126-WA0012%20-%20Copy.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2159" data-original-width="3672" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDkHxVBkl1F9Zl-A28xN9wXUr5-pQ99VcxszK5waDEpq9lJ9qWEst3HzyXlf9MYckPnqeZrhbOPxQ6x6LBNRuBLc3TfnAwuYt2WEYSLI8MNcQkj1WtqwQ30VbsrDw4VF_axeY9JFeN0v1qBdX2IRw2AObifHEP0YrPUjQ1goDu003lkNDv_zqXnUXBZA/w640-h376/IMG-20230126-WA0012%20-%20Copy.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>My Neophytes slink through a doorway.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The game was hella fun with plenty of killing and holding of objectives.

Read your Codex's kids! Had I been a bit more savvy with my army rules I possibly would have survived until Dylan's final turn.

I also should have put a unit into deepstrike to react to whatever stunts the Death Guard would pull. I used the Biophagus to give Stumbleklunk a 5+ fnp when he already had it! D'oh! The Acolytes were the ones who won it for me however with one unit wiping out and therefore taking Dylan's home objective and the other unit by holding a door closed for 2 turns, stopping the Plague Marines from contesting another objective. </div><h3 style="text-align: left;">The Conclusion</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">I sometimes find games of 40K don't sit well narratively speaking with my own armies, ie. why would Drukhari be fighting Aeldari on an Imperial world? Boarding Actions removes this bugbear of mine as pretty much everyone is fighting on somebody else's turf. The other narrative hook for me is space hulks in general are the home of genestealers and therefore I am perfectly happy to have Orks vs the Cult as it makes much more thematic sense. Anyway, as far as the game went, it was 40k with less stuff for me to forget (only three strategems to use) and LoS considerations. I like it and hope to play a good few more games of this type.</div><h3 style="text-align: left;">The Future</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Next time I'm going to use GSC I think I will try to get a Magus in there. In particular using the power to advance and charge could be crucial to get into the right position mid game. With that in mind I think my Druchari will be very tasty in boarding actions as power from pain isn't affected by boarding actions. Some of the obsessions could make quite an effect on small scale skirmishes. Anyway I would recommend boarding actions as a fun little diversion. I wouldn't buy the terrain until you've had a few games to see what you think. Of course, GWs books Angron and Vashtorr are already sold out so whether I will get to play any of the later scenarios remains to be seen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">Thanks for reading. </h3>Jason Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515009106842594803noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363654280607331339.post-35335821622919504962023-01-30T13:39:00.002+00:002023-02-01T14:07:36.326+00:00Experimental Creations of Biophagus Nerm<p style="text-align: justify;"> Hi all, just a quick post of my first finished models of 2023. Some models from the Mantic Games kickstarter for Star Saga. I backed it some 3 or 4 years ago then promptly ignored it when it arrived. It's highly unlikely I will ever play it but I do like a lot of the models. So a couple of weeks ago I was searching for proxies for my Drukhari <i>Court of the Archon</i> models. I was also looking for a <i>Biophagus</i> model to experiment on my Genestealer Cult chaps. So here is what I've done;</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Biophagus Nerm</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Biophagus (Biophagi plural?) are a sort of geneticist that appears in a cult when needed, which is dead handy for the Patriarch. They sort of mess around with genetic code to make cult members more killy and less pleasant to be around. The model I'm using for said battlefield role is Dr Koyner from the <a href="https://www.manticgames.com/games/deadzone/deadzone-factions/mazon-labs/mazon-labs-senior-management-booster/" target="_blank">Mazon Labs Faction</a>. He can also moonlight as some sort of heretical sci-fi boffin that might wander on to a Rogue Traderesque type scenario.

They came in the kickstarter but I don't see them on the website at the moment. I think they have a variety of uses in my games. Firstly as Ur Ghul proxies for my Drukhari army. Fluff wise they can be creations of Beldam Qud (my Haemonculus). More than likely some Astra Militarum troops captured and then put through the genetic wringer only to come out the other side as muscle bound almost mindless attack creatures.

As we close in on 2023 I try to finish stuff to make my 2022 seem less worthless hobbywise. As a result here are some old metal models from the previous millennium. To give a bit of background on the following items, back in the mid nineties a Necromunda gang you could play were Spyrers or Spyre Hunters. Basically the wealthy noble houses sent their offspring down to kill as many worthless proles as they could, survive with only their wits and billions of credits worth of advanced weaponry and armour (which may or may not be manufactured by the T'au) and then return up to the Spyre to take their place in the family business. They were a very good gang but I never had them painted up during my time as a Necromunda player. Now I have to try to shoehorn them into a current 40K army.....</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Jakara</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">First up are two Jakara. Armed with a mirror shield and monomolecular sword they were nasty spindly legged chicks who were not nice to underhivers. With the new Astra Militarum codex due out soon, I think they can see some table time as sergeants for infantry squads armed with power swords and some sort of non standard issue pistol. This is why they got some contrast paints Militarum Green and Creed Camo applied.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBwVfW499IjKWkGR_gB2tb5arNeit7tQmLHyOb6BWLxnRxsx8Fjd5B3ifKLVGfxH9MQ0Jhrdpt6S3QvwvAiZ5seZ41sAIdG04k-Al6D4RqDSUKqjov1o1cBNgVRhirfziBKu_qBEtwN_4qkaSicpW29KveUcfhN8qEnLkXejiIK-3Tg30uc1qmUBIymQ/s2279/IMG_8068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2239" data-original-width="2279" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBwVfW499IjKWkGR_gB2tb5arNeit7tQmLHyOb6BWLxnRxsx8Fjd5B3ifKLVGfxH9MQ0Jhrdpt6S3QvwvAiZ5seZ41sAIdG04k-Al6D4RqDSUKqjov1o1cBNgVRhirfziBKu_qBEtwN_4qkaSicpW29KveUcfhN8qEnLkXejiIK-3Tg30uc1qmUBIymQ/w400-h393/IMG_8068.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: justify;"><b>I was never a big fan of the Jakara as I thought they were sub par models but after slapping pigment on them I can see a bit of Oldhammer charm in them.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdeZo3H1PFMXCUNEWhzIv8YFeNISTyF6Iz8L2MHGWkFoVyqsnxCOs3DmzZCgwBaMHtotSn7ppPTuwMGmkzct-jTm6qmSWf08QyDcslCFDdzV82csTBfRztMBzC5plE7dsO661gYkVOxk-4HgSCO5F7vguSjlwqr4bcT1h2OQ3zKdaK37z3T4og3-uOZQ/s2104/IMG_8069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2104" data-original-width="2001" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdeZo3H1PFMXCUNEWhzIv8YFeNISTyF6Iz8L2MHGWkFoVyqsnxCOs3DmzZCgwBaMHtotSn7ppPTuwMGmkzct-jTm6qmSWf08QyDcslCFDdzV82csTBfRztMBzC5plE7dsO661gYkVOxk-4HgSCO5F7vguSjlwqr4bcT1h2OQ3zKdaK37z3T4og3-uOZQ/w380-h400/IMG_8069.JPG" width="380" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>The legs are very spindly though.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Malcadon</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the worst (for other players) Spyre Hunters was the Malcadon.

The remaining force were attempting to meet up with other aspects of the chapter many hundreds of klicks away. For his entertainment many individual Primaris marines were abducted, never to be seen again by their comrades. Less welcome, they would be found by forward scouts horrifically mutilated on the brink of death, necessitating a merciful death and gene seed removal. The marine's commander seemed to tire of the games and fortified an old manufacturing complex in a ruined settlement of Dunrunnin. This suited the Archon, as he was eager to gain more Primaris playthings for his plans when he returned to the Commoragh. The marines had seen the Drukhari and were now taking defensive positions. Good he thought, their heightened adrenaline will provide an exquisite flavour to the conflict. On the subject of flavours, the doses of combat drugs were kicking in, Splintermind and Painbringer would added spice to the proceedings. With that the signal was given to take the Void Spectres.</b></i></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Greetings, a while back, myself and Dylan played another crusade game, this time from the Beyond the Veil crusade book. This mission sets two forces against each other with the object of the battle for the defenders (marines) to survive for 5 turns and the attackers (druchari) to stop it from happening.

Mainly eBay rescues and some repaints of old shitty attempts by me result in these.

From her vantage point she could see a large force of the lackeys of the ruinous powers in the valley below. The area was known as Vaul's Twins referring to the magic fires eternally burning on two hills within the valley. That the Chaos army knew about this secret place was troubling. She knew that if both hills were desecrated by them then evil things would flock here and this place would be cursed. Such a thing could not be allowed to happen. With her army arrayed behind her she gave the hand signal to form a battle line without uttering a sound.

I decided to go for Dark magic as it has good damage output and the ability to cause extra hits using the lore trait. I also picked up </span> <i>Sivejir's Hex Scroll </i>as I like to use it and thought due to Neil's kamikaze attitude to the Skull of Katam there might be some entertainment in trying to turn Y'mca into a toad. From a tactical point of view my plan would be similar to our last one, dance around the chaos dillholes, shooting with wild abandon, until they look weak enough for an aggressive Wood Elf going over. <span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><br /></span><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Mission and Mystical Objects on the Battlefield</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We had decided that a 2000 point game would be doable. The mission was battle for the pass, which I have some experience with, albeit several years ago. This kind of upset my plan of avoidance as when you play on a 24" wide table there is less flanking opportunities. The terrain was rolled up and there were two hills (both<i> Anvils of Vaul</i> surprisingly) a building (the inn) a <i>Wyrding Well</i> on what was to become my right flank, and an <i>Earthblood Mere</i> on the opposite side of the table. There was also a ordinary fence and an <i>Acropolis of Heroes</i>. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Neil's deployment was two units either side of the inn and a unit of Flesh Hounds wandering around the back garden of my deployment zone. I placed my Wild Riders and archers to face Neil strong flank with the Waywatchers suddenly appearing there too (much to the Knight's surprise). I put the sisters by the <i>Wyrding Well</i> and Wardancers, Hawks and spells inger on the right. The Dryads deployed centrally. My Warhawks vanguarded to be within the range of the Acropolis and we rolled for who went first. It was Neil.</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEHtiGZiUv34uVkfDB2E0LaZX9pHMXvIebh5ZNuugQpkL6Y7AImldCW2ul_A5Sm97eRMC9a2pt3jJo_sDs2_KEeSqS5CX6pd7rkd6BMBv2ivJTfIQCSHS5ik3TzW9ldJJc69BARr6Ku8j5_GycMkdFETR8Eq6myI57FhL0no5thgEUVU9X2c2wZHEaig/s3468/20220803_101710.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="3468" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEHtiGZiUv34uVkfDB2E0LaZX9pHMXvIebh5ZNuugQpkL6Y7AImldCW2ul_A5Sm97eRMC9a2pt3jJo_sDs2_KEeSqS5CX6pd7rkd6BMBv2ivJTfIQCSHS5ik3TzW9ldJJc69BARr6Ku8j5_GycMkdFETR8Eq6myI57FhL0no5thgEUVU9X2c2wZHEaig/w400-h311/20220803_101710.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">My hawks do a spot of vanguarding.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDjwu_5TGuaiRatxAz7BRygHlbu16rQL6WehOgNMmuF5aUAna2PoFBS2KsDkZHibBUc_myxymRRzFep2o9Nl0Xo7aib0QxqMIXqc6ofMwNGUUjK0kFoR2mI7XbKYgHtnWexX33t20v1PKRP4Q4kcgo8selv_-sfJYQrQeHmRPh79coGA0382ePs0PQXA/s3949/20220803_101717.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3949" data-original-width="3444" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDjwu_5TGuaiRatxAz7BRygHlbu16rQL6WehOgNMmuF5aUAna2PoFBS2KsDkZHibBUc_myxymRRzFep2o9Nl0Xo7aib0QxqMIXqc6ofMwNGUUjK0kFoR2mI7XbKYgHtnWexX33t20v1PKRP4Q4kcgo8selv_-sfJYQrQeHmRPh79coGA0382ePs0PQXA/w349-h400/20220803_101717.jpg" width="349" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Archers of the left flank, with Wild Riders, Dryads, Unicorn and Wardancers more central.

The Dryads charged into the pub to rescue some of the timbers that looked like some of their long lost relations. Both Neil and Stuart (an impartial spectator) were surprised to find out how nasty Waywatchers can be when they take aimed shots at chaos Knights (they killed three). A couple of Dark spells killed a Minotaur and took a wound from another. Now all I needed to do was kill the pesky toad-wiz and the game would be a cake walk. This wasn't as easy as I thought as both Warhawks and riders fluffed their attacks. The other one caused a couple of wounds on the warriors. In the returning attacks quite a lot of wounds were caused but the <i>Acropolis of Heroes</i> meant my unit was stubborn, so I might get another stab at Y'mca the Slippery. The Dryads gave the Nurglings a bit of a hiding but not enough to evict them, leaving them standing outside the pub like unruly chavs on a Saturday night.</span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOQgoTx8p3ihecP5U_Th8Y8hXkZ_bX1Q0cC-a8teSbwUkUKLBN0DjObbyJAJMgzpzp4gYd-QhoyFLl7YTqpOOMmVjDRv_dNiL3OOw3bP-jbdXf-HsBCb3z3nAiCHg4dBk4c0fFX6ckx2QyjPhcIkW5WH8XC-DgzHeSpnkJ82946LlT3m9rFwcRMDor8Q/s3967/20220803_105429.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3967" data-original-width="3467" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOQgoTx8p3ihecP5U_Th8Y8hXkZ_bX1Q0cC-a8teSbwUkUKLBN0DjObbyJAJMgzpzp4gYd-QhoyFLl7YTqpOOMmVjDRv_dNiL3OOw3bP-jbdXf-HsBCb3z3nAiCHg4dBk4c0fFX6ckx2QyjPhcIkW5WH8XC-DgzHeSpnkJ82946LlT3m9rFwcRMDor8Q/s320/20220803_105429.jpg" width="280" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">A swift assassination attempt!</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWmY8tp4kV5uBPX2ly3Rgd8brOrbeu2w56dRXwMWkn35TwcslAtYXz0a_ctuLo54HkIGZawp97666wK1nuEUd10NCdqPZzMmdt4cSdEPy8-A39XX-48FwR1q37XK3CObvPrdcmKuXlqbY8MqXVjcChZ-_ybc5IUCTwnfZuDYX2ennud7dEGVQRqedJuQ/s4339/20220803_105434.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4339" data-original-width="3445" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWmY8tp4kV5uBPX2ly3Rgd8brOrbeu2w56dRXwMWkn35TwcslAtYXz0a_ctuLo54HkIGZawp97666wK1nuEUd10NCdqPZzMmdt4cSdEPy8-A39XX-48FwR1q37XK3CObvPrdcmKuXlqbY8MqXVjcChZ-_ybc5IUCTwnfZuDYX2ennud7dEGVQRqedJuQ/s320/20220803_105434.jpg" width="254" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Wardancers in the wood.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPa8LnIcp7plGMHPC7LquzgWiG9N2q2LVvgjsTV3RDNrjtFapJX1XM4fSz6l8N8Zgg9J0U3PJrQr5NQxfd_tgMglftEqzHAwTuPAjVyBDcQ5Avl7LQNUhLWFbPeHB8tMzJcT9mcBfLYG9bW1k9sow8PwNlm7OlvyJGIGCQnC8z0zJgwjXv4KF_XPtm6w/s4624/20220803_105438.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3468" data-original-width="4624" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPa8LnIcp7plGMHPC7LquzgWiG9N2q2LVvgjsTV3RDNrjtFapJX1XM4fSz6l8N8Zgg9J0U3PJrQr5NQxfd_tgMglftEqzHAwTuPAjVyBDcQ5Avl7LQNUhLWFbPeHB8tMzJcT9mcBfLYG9bW1k9sow8PwNlm7OlvyJGIGCQnC8z0zJgwjXv4KF_XPtm6w/s320/20220803_105438.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Three dead Knights courtesy of some Waywatcher sharpshooting.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Neil's turn two was pretty eventful.

Neil also declared a charge of my wardancers in the wood but miscalculated and couldn't get past the Warhawks, I told him he could redirect if he wanted to but chose not to (probably because it wouldn't achieve very much as the warhawks were doing a piss poor attempt at killing Y'mca. The flesh hound dragon mash ups arrived to the rear of the Glade Guard. To my disappointment the hex scrolls power faded and Y'mca was ready to twat some birds. The hawks were duly twatted leaving room next turn for some pervy minotaurs to get slobbering over my Wardancers.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2623" data-original-width="3230" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY3Mkl6YWM1pGLciALD5sB2m1YcXoAh_jjVR4ep-t6seCpYWMacmQfz2IDFSLyB4Xxu_bmizGiHdYussQh7uKgvGjPEH7FgNGDHJULfsR-eiIcFJcRITAGs1T40gtMvmvyJnzgQFWi06_ztXHOa5Cc0RD0z2vI-6Nlgco_4d1BZ3TxMVlRzGBg5y7z_w/s320/20220803_105518.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="320" /></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">What's that coming over the hill?

The Dryads left the building and the lone wild Rider sauntered round the building ready to do a bit of flank charging imminently.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5LYp9JcDCmqC97L8ZZD2ybzxA6Yc8wcEGExF4gDuLVhSXlNQlKPRvv8T84-jSPomm92idq3zO-OKIiQj9WVvFhnQTERj6lqmKaeVqiAxtOsD6XiXtPDuAguo43LQW1nJcnGot5JjRCdIfCmujckTQr7-DYvUQiEgTfuIBlwSakdb15Q9vLqRn36cKQ/s1400/IMG-20220803-WA0015%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1061" data-original-width="1400" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5LYp9JcDCmqC97L8ZZD2ybzxA6Yc8wcEGExF4gDuLVhSXlNQlKPRvv8T84-jSPomm92idq3zO-OKIiQj9WVvFhnQTERj6lqmKaeVqiAxtOsD6XiXtPDuAguo43LQW1nJcnGot5JjRCdIfCmujckTQr7-DYvUQiEgTfuIBlwSakdb15Q9vLqRn36cKQ/s320/IMG-20220803-WA0015%20(2).jpg" width="320" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fleeing Minotaurs very nearly scupper my plans!</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Minotuars were fleeing and the flesh Hounds were held up by Glade Guard so all I really needed to do was get rid of the Y'mca's unit and victory was mine. So a series of charges into his unit should be enough, firstly a charge at the minotaurs to keep them running and a swift redirect from the Dryads who had left the building last turn, then charges from the Wild Rider, Wardancers and BSB should finish the job. The Glade guard killed off the Flesh hounds. The decisive final strike didn't go as well as I had hoped and protracted scrum eventually led to defeat of the Chaos Warriors and therefore peace would return to the forest. What of the Minotaurs? Legend says they are still running!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">End Credits</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Well that was a fun game that pretty much went exactly how I wanted it to. The pivotal clash was the Wild Riders charge that I very nearly didn't win. I am so used to them steamrollering whomever they get a charge off against that I was perhaps a little over confident going in. To win by 1 and then for a Chaos Lord to cack his pants and run was a spectacular bit of luck. Unfortunately, the good times may well be over as Neil has very nearly finished a BSB so some leadership rerolls may soon be coming to spoil my fun. The Waywatchers and Wardancers did exactly what I wanted (kill the Knights and defeat the minotaurs in the wood respectively). Special mention to the Glade guard who actually withstood a charge from Flesh hounds and then actually destroyed them! Thumbs down to both the Glade Riders and sisters of the Thorn who get barely a mention due to their minor contribution. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Neil's attitude to the game and more so his reluctance to use an unpainted BSB is exactly what the hobby is about, with said character he probably would have stayed there and killed both my BSB and wild rider next turn. Perhaps the Waywatchers would have removed them next turn but it's debatable. Neil's minotaurs had been weakened by shooting and spells enabling the Wardancers to get the upper hand in the woods. Speaking of magic, transforming Y'mca into a toad and then totally fouling up his assassination was pretty hilarious. Just one of those events that make WFB such a good game I suppose.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Going forward I think putting the Dark Mage in the unit of Wild riders might have some value and I am struggling to find a reason for taking Glade Riders. Maybe instead a unit of armour piercing Glade Guard might fill an anti armour slot as my Waywatchers can't cover everything. So to wrap up, thanks to Neil for another brilliant game and I hope you found this report amusing. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Thanks for reading. </span></h3></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">End Credit Scene</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Candaletha's blood lust was waning.

Dose, his ally and rival for Nurgle's favour was always near ready to question any order, and as he had the larger number of warriors in his warband, respect had to be afforded him before he found a more malleable second in command. His band had so far escaped detection from his enemies only by entering into a blood pact with a band of beastmen. The leader of the beastmen now spoke at the evening campfire meal, as he intermittently gnawed at a human forearm "Scouts have not come back. Dead, most likely. This forest stinks of elves!". A voice like the whispering gasp of an old man on his death bed, yet carrying to all around the camp stated; "The Piscine de la Fadeur lies half a days march from here, I long to bathe in it and spread Father Nurgle's blessing among the backward villagers hereabouts. I fear some might take arms to stop that. WILL WE LET THAT HAPPEN?". A massive noise of various hoots, bellows and clashing of weapons on shields was his answer.

We settled on a 1500 point Wood Elf vs Warriors of chaos fracas. It proved to be a highly eventful roller-coaster of a game. This is the story of that day at the amusements. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Glorious Wood Elf Host</span></h3><div><div><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lords;</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Spellweaver Mizzard Wodel: <i>Dispel Scroll</i>, Lore of Shadow, <i>The enfeebling foe, the withering, Okkam's mind Razor, </i>Wizard Level 3.

My wild riders would be my sledgehammer unit and mostly everything else would be shooting or dodging around. My archers would hopefully kill enough to spark panic tests and the Wardancers job was to hang around in a wood and be a stubborn roadblock.

We Chose Battleline scenario as it was the most simple. Sides were chosen, and my Wood Elf special rules allowed me to lug a venom thicket onto the battlefield and in the words of Rick Sanchez "AND AWAY WE GO!".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpWH1SemqnZP68X5eDXV_sGCgrzX5-e9AtWJ-bLxc5JxZJkDZ3miQgasv6eqPIKrmhqpGfDKA6M8O26wWeiRFx7R04qjThRiAV7CJnmcx87XmPzBTKQws6C_Gk7cHZUkIGxde2iwrpKPmhoB00bIQaCj-OV3RUzwgO0_g4ue5xD-45zjdD4JiQpSP7Ew/s3805/IMG_3009.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3805" data-original-width="2855" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpWH1SemqnZP68X5eDXV_sGCgrzX5-e9AtWJ-bLxc5JxZJkDZ3miQgasv6eqPIKrmhqpGfDKA6M8O26wWeiRFx7R04qjThRiAV7CJnmcx87XmPzBTKQws6C_Gk7cHZUkIGxde2iwrpKPmhoB00bIQaCj-OV3RUzwgO0_g4ue5xD-45zjdD4JiQpSP7Ew/w480-h640/IMG_3009.JPG" width="480" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">A bird's eye view (I didn't manage to fit any into the game).</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhaL4lrxJ3QdeCDPKWsRWriQ8fc_yATamXohi7uTKVvEhxuRBotOHAgNp5sIDSEg7UW-srEAgCHLR4HYBs1HKjfS8oxQaL-f33zvVw9vQkGbtUnV4cEpqbYWl3J0_GqSAm1MYXS5We6_nm1AQcCYiITDFdeGchwvOHI8SC5au9ztImyAHhQa5X3rz8A/s1101/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-22_1%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1101" data-original-width="899" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhaL4lrxJ3QdeCDPKWsRWriQ8fc_yATamXohi7uTKVvEhxuRBotOHAgNp5sIDSEg7UW-srEAgCHLR4HYBs1HKjfS8oxQaL-f33zvVw9vQkGbtUnV4cEpqbYWl3J0_GqSAm1MYXS5We6_nm1AQcCYiITDFdeGchwvOHI8SC5au9ztImyAHhQa5X3rz8A/w522-h640/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-22_1%20(2).jpg" width="522" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Some evil doers ready to do more.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1xy9iLwmV27BC2YT55kIXDkmcQApyKS6BBHft-kyI41QzlZhNmhGao-9WJ-VaR16DgUb7qRUnkHeO_7LvHrHVrxGX6EaeNAGJ5M3F2yCjF0mPwcrmHhYSKSIhpcFC_B3Zr0EfCdZ2yAXc5ZUcVaRrR6uExflTpAOVBhSFtb2sKJeSPsUdtLwDkn48fQ/s981/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-23%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="981" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1xy9iLwmV27BC2YT55kIXDkmcQApyKS6BBHft-kyI41QzlZhNmhGao-9WJ-VaR16DgUb7qRUnkHeO_7LvHrHVrxGX6EaeNAGJ5M3F2yCjF0mPwcrmHhYSKSIhpcFC_B3Zr0EfCdZ2yAXc5ZUcVaRrR6uExflTpAOVBhSFtb2sKJeSPsUdtLwDkn48fQ/w588-h640/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-23%20(2).jpg" width="588" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Not very chaotic, cravenly hiding behind a hill.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Game</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I remembered to shoot at the enemy general with <i>the Arrow of Kurnous </i>special rule.

Neil won the roll for first turn so he moved his forces up (his Chaos Knights and Ogres had cowered behind the hill to avoid good honest elven bowfire). His Beastmen spent their turn infighting so no advancing towards my Wild Riders. That was the end of his turn and my first turn was my Dryads and Wild Riders moving forwards and the Waywatchers legging it out of the Wyldwood they has mistaken for a friendlier oily massage wood.

The Beastmen spent another turn infighting! Then the Knights led by Phlakes (an out of work rodeo clown turned prospective destroyer of worlds) charged my Dryads in the wood. They made their long charge only to lose 3 of their number to low hanging branches and badger sets, The resulting panic test ended the charge as they turned tail and fled towards the bemused chaos ogres. Y'mca used the <i>Skull of Katam </i>to get himself two extra power dice (and reduce his Ld by 2 into the bargain). My BSB was then magicked to death by the <i>Caress of Laniph. </i>I had intended to scroll it as soon as he declared the target but a double six ended that hope. The resulting power drain blasted all knowledge of magic from Y'mca giving me magical superiority at the cost of my BSB.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJUNggNaYMAXFhNDzLIfq6HLQD0ImeEXUtf62K1SnqWke0DzGgZ_eY83PfnT5iPIGFQiaCAdtfNb5jNA4Id0ckkHp7oY6PhmnvkOc1XCaT9Iu3nTwtN91dvNae9frn6QmDJv5NZdaGnBJHFj6S821kJ4Lt_iB4iqX-4Tw_qF8SSBRjtP1vKvGHtGDlw/s3267/IMG_3014%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3267" data-original-width="3023" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJUNggNaYMAXFhNDzLIfq6HLQD0ImeEXUtf62K1SnqWke0DzGgZ_eY83PfnT5iPIGFQiaCAdtfNb5jNA4Id0ckkHp7oY6PhmnvkOc1XCaT9Iu3nTwtN91dvNae9frn6QmDJv5NZdaGnBJHFj6S821kJ4Lt_iB4iqX-4Tw_qF8SSBRjtP1vKvGHtGDlw/w592-h640/IMG_3014%20(2).JPG" width="592" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMhVx-xnt4k3bBbAyBIEwVHRIo84Ps6oNmxBwyvwKJhaWViW91Bf5NMld5L7zIem6AcL-dhLYe39Iwuo62HIE6DS9Joh0g_OL7x9YDcr4PZntoFx4qNgu58i-2ncoSsoIP-bBmqal4oyGz5HvkJYEO8YfyRmW00q5XBx2wrzekBSBMZOk_GpEvmqrDOA/s1193/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-26%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1002" data-original-width="1193" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMhVx-xnt4k3bBbAyBIEwVHRIo84Ps6oNmxBwyvwKJhaWViW91Bf5NMld5L7zIem6AcL-dhLYe39Iwuo62HIE6DS9Joh0g_OL7x9YDcr4PZntoFx4qNgu58i-2ncoSsoIP-bBmqal4oyGz5HvkJYEO8YfyRmW00q5XBx2wrzekBSBMZOk_GpEvmqrDOA/w640-h538/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-26%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">The forest claims it's first victims.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">My turn two was when I started to try to chop up some of the followers of the ruinous powers. My glade Riders made a not very dramatic entrance on the Chaos back line ready to cause minor mayhem.I declared two charges, a long charge from my Wardancers into a block of Chaos Warriors and a short charge from my Dryads into the fleeing Knights. I was surprised to get my Wardancers into combat and equally surprised that the woods struck again! Three Dryads died to branch-rash or galloping woodworm causing them to fail a panic test and flee away from the knights who in turn ran through the Ogres but didn't spook them in turn. The Wild Riders held their position to cover the Beastmen and possibly charge the Chaos centre. In the magic phase I managed to enfeeble the Chaos Warriors down to strength 1, but failed to wither them, this left my rather small Wardancer unit in a precarious position. The <i>Shadow's Coil</i> coupled with their low strength meant I only lost my champion to Neil's hero - Dose. A passed break test meant the next combat round would be vital.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLF0NTiCt8g9Q8Ao3JVazEzVUHu5RjoU6uoSF62IJ7CgmrFTiv57wl69XCqs1gHVJ9GIuj3-Ff_fzn5r1O_CRE9nHGPIIZptZowRg0oe9J4GRt9bIBRZC3MkasUucbLKb6uwdEDW8fZpsAqTZmaGOZTZisR-YeFdeM8MNwlkEgt-0T1e3nokqd80q_tA/s4032/IMG_3016.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLF0NTiCt8g9Q8Ao3JVazEzVUHu5RjoU6uoSF62IJ7CgmrFTiv57wl69XCqs1gHVJ9GIuj3-Ff_fzn5r1O_CRE9nHGPIIZptZowRg0oe9J4GRt9bIBRZC3MkasUucbLKb6uwdEDW8fZpsAqTZmaGOZTZisR-YeFdeM8MNwlkEgt-0T1e3nokqd80q_tA/w640-h480/IMG_3016.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Eight Wardancers ponder a long charge into some nasties,</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx1ICnByDcZvy04jlCynXV3TXFo054i0u1yWKPRQ83gzzdFU2pbWzf1xP3sA8NyuxsO2qJ6dK4Ph1QjLcHx2ow4itHjtyA7twOcUIqC8oIfG3wJhKrYQ6IuAbzH1o9Vzsqjjq6TjQwWrq8TcKXP2xZdHsMhpe6Bw_WyiA3JCfNtfrxTCkkMcOfacUcSQ/s1192/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-27%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="805" data-original-width="1192" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx1ICnByDcZvy04jlCynXV3TXFo054i0u1yWKPRQ83gzzdFU2pbWzf1xP3sA8NyuxsO2qJ6dK4Ph1QjLcHx2ow4itHjtyA7twOcUIqC8oIfG3wJhKrYQ6IuAbzH1o9Vzsqjjq6TjQwWrq8TcKXP2xZdHsMhpe6Bw_WyiA3JCfNtfrxTCkkMcOfacUcSQ/w640-h432/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-27%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Knights decide that the woods are far too dangerous for them, as do the Dryads.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2506" data-original-width="4012" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqx3XFeaNvagAE0eD0D3S1nNLdFcyUE0lhY2dUW-pKDlKXFPRBmHkuTtgdezztwQxp2TEplFKGhia1G4bPRhIYqDrGl1u4uT69R7eDOEWADqh0lTaNEReVyqfkYi9s0-Cced-LSQiNQHgZd0c-fXwXtONoDM-Bh9RU9j21zJzjmLKopAdfvIPEqKCoGg/w640-h400/IMG_3017.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640" /></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">The venom thicket seems to be a much safer place than the 'normal' forest.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqx3XFeaNvagAE0eD0D3S1nNLdFcyUE0lhY2dUW-pKDlKXFPRBmHkuTtgdezztwQxp2TEplFKGhia1G4bPRhIYqDrGl1u4uT69R7eDOEWADqh0lTaNEReVyqfkYi9s0-Cced-LSQiNQHgZd0c-fXwXtONoDM-Bh9RU9j21zJzjmLKopAdfvIPEqKCoGg/s4012/IMG_3017.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b></b></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Neil's turn and the Knights rallied.

They, in turn declared a charge only to fail a 7 or more charge to wipe them out. both failed charges left the flanks of both units exposed. I mitigated the Glade riders somewhat by interposing my Wardancers to hopefully block the knights and save the day. The Dryads rallied. My general with his Sisters entourage moved out of the woods to rain magical fire on the knights. Magic was a bit of a damp squib, I only managed to cast <i>enfeebling foe </i>on the Beastmen reducing their toughness by 1. I'd hoped to cast <i>curse of Anrhair </i>or <i>the withering </i>on the knights but the winds of magic (and my dice rolling) were shite.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1452" data-original-width="1192" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGTZ4EOXb_o11lb_XIPXcRZoju6uNSPnz_xNpx8d1r5WqN0BfeOtGwmXz-CevOPG6jKCQ7p3KIP1IzIYwy8Qkc_E9YYIjQFMxHNXMQFqTFVv6sekCdjRPJOqSOaNvQXg86xWQFraoVniyTQeS2d2u5BSfqMlZaYA00A5ED-xDDEiHdUyPiI6HKP4RNJQ/w526-h640/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-31%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="526" /></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Five Wardancers can easily see off some Chaos Knights, can't they?</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGTZ4EOXb_o11lb_XIPXcRZoju6uNSPnz_xNpx8d1r5WqN0BfeOtGwmXz-CevOPG6jKCQ7p3KIP1IzIYwy8Qkc_E9YYIjQFMxHNXMQFqTFVv6sekCdjRPJOqSOaNvQXg86xWQFraoVniyTQeS2d2u5BSfqMlZaYA00A5ED-xDDEiHdUyPiI6HKP4RNJQ/s1452/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-31%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b></b></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ORHhOvumAXJFtAc9koWka6fPCMxpiAxpRHSPynu77HH5ehOnn7xcr39NqQ77dIFtHpL0h5R529iC2JJkhQQi2-ah8fSnD42lM268ymKG1z_5EOvqoH2wVQPKpZ7bGRavMNK9AxkPD7Ps68G37aPJU_TRs3AZqsz1_D_F9MpX5CXvHh82byErnZtgVw/s1306/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-32_1%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1306" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ORHhOvumAXJFtAc9koWka6fPCMxpiAxpRHSPynu77HH5ehOnn7xcr39NqQ77dIFtHpL0h5R529iC2JJkhQQi2-ah8fSnD42lM268ymKG1z_5EOvqoH2wVQPKpZ7bGRavMNK9AxkPD7Ps68G37aPJU_TRs3AZqsz1_D_F9MpX5CXvHh82byErnZtgVw/w588-h640/PHOTO-2022-05-31-23-51-32_1%20(2).jpg" width="588" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Phlakes and his two buddies are confident that no trees will attack them this turn.</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Chaos turn four was a make or break one.

Mistake number one; to assist the Glade guard a rear charge into the Knights, i thought might save the day. The only other charge was the Waywatchers into the rear of the Beastmen. The wardancers rallied. The Dryads hedged their bets and angled towards both the solitary ogre on 1 wound and the bundle in the centre of the board involving my Sisters of the Thorn.The magic phase was spectacular in that I cast <i>the withering </i>on the Beastmen with irresistable force reducing their toughness by a whoping -3 to 1. This caused a detonation and the end of the magic phase, failing to do any damage. With the beastmen down to toughness 1 they were butchered by the Waywatchers and Wild Riders, with only a few critters left they fled and were chased down and killed by the archers. The Glade guard killed the reamaining ogre. Mistake number two; Phlakes, Chaos Knight champion issued a challenge and my general foolishly accepted. I reasoned that with 3 wounds remaining he was unlikely to kill Mizzard Wodel outright, I was mistaken. He killed my general and rolled a 12 on the <i>eye of the gods</i> table. Daemonhood! A passed leadership test and that would probably be the game over. Luckily fate once more glanced at the table to ensure Neil didn't pass an average dice roll. The upshot of the combat was the Glade riders fled the table and the Sisters fled back towards my lines, only to be caught and chopped up Phlakes and his mate the standard bearer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEZ3bnnaqUkZVn6iUl4kTYazPZXG9edfqNKLw1EkDhyfR9jWKMg_3P0nCVB3a_Y5KwG_I2IfAOOho3e9RD7q8yMcZ5n_GpqteZD0abK4cXoMldqB_FgbuQopmkk1_Jr13eA_xoewNc4egvfEJz3cn_TsUiGig6YMZ9cFsVSo6EzNrWvz1mW0KDj1mxLQ/s2964/IMG_3026.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2870" data-original-width="2964" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEZ3bnnaqUkZVn6iUl4kTYazPZXG9edfqNKLw1EkDhyfR9jWKMg_3P0nCVB3a_Y5KwG_I2IfAOOho3e9RD7q8yMcZ5n_GpqteZD0abK4cXoMldqB_FgbuQopmkk1_Jr13eA_xoewNc4egvfEJz3cn_TsUiGig6YMZ9cFsVSo6EzNrWvz1mW0KDj1mxLQ/w640-h620/IMG_3026.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">This picture may well be confusing, but that's what you get against Chaos - chaos!</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The final turn of the game was mercifully short and sweet.

There is also more planning ahead as charges are the first action of each turn. Magic can be game winning but not putting enough dice into a minor spell can end a magic phase (as can putting too many die in). The game in general went well but a few mistakes should have cost me a lot more. Shadow magic really helped my army in a couple of key areas and the Wardancers performed better than they usually do. Some of Neil's dice rolls were appalling and really helped to add massive drama to the game. A couple of things were forgotten, I had completely forgotten to move the Wild rider into base to base with the Beastmen, and also forgot to attempt a combat reform at the start of my next turn, forgot that Dryads are immune to psychology. I think my list relied too much on the Wild Riders to be my main offensive unit and in the end flukey dice saved them. Neil's army is in desperate need of a BSB and I think if all the Chaos warriors were in a single unit they would have caused me a much bigger problem. So all that's left is for me to thank Neil for a great game and start planning my next fantasy outing. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><br />Jason Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515009106842594803noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363654280607331339.post-71356270069345466592022-06-21T13:52:00.001+01:002022-06-22T12:10:15.301+01:00The Grand Experiments of Master Moulder Snippet Kwik<p style="text-align: justify;"> Evening all.

Rimphi the Stoic is my battle standard bearer. Originally a Wardancer, Rimphi was part of an force battling Warriors of chaos and Beastmen in the northern glades. Foul magic slew the Glade Captain bearing the banner of Lord Silias and Rimphi nimbly grabbed the banner before it fell by vaulting into the dying steed's flank and jumping back to the ground before it's death throes could crush her. Mainly due to this act and the Wood Elves were victorious and the followers of chaos were defeated. Lord Silias then made the unprecedented request for Rimphi to become his personnel banner bearer and she accepted. The model itself is an old Wardancer model with a banner with the top of Teclis' moonstaff on the top. Although I can't use the model as a Wardancer BSB she will be see some action in my someday-to-be-finished Eternal Guard unit.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimsHrR7cvcNBHJL77DxCHKlZPE2pFkb0rt57L4-gqVwoKPXUeiHJEY4Nxsd-Ef-oORsITS36zPQj7stowuRR8DXVfLv8p-Zc6ZsUx3jTM2JzeZsSJUOmHj_Kk4mZXkRYtekVDhsmvaKFB3cmiokgRsrREwzFzLNyi_D2CzpsVdjK60ux1YbczFJZL5Xw/s2737/AE699495-97A9-49C2-8190-9D4118FE146C.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2737" data-original-width="2628" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimsHrR7cvcNBHJL77DxCHKlZPE2pFkb0rt57L4-gqVwoKPXUeiHJEY4Nxsd-Ef-oORsITS36zPQj7stowuRR8DXVfLv8p-Zc6ZsUx3jTM2JzeZsSJUOmHj_Kk4mZXkRYtekVDhsmvaKFB3cmiokgRsrREwzFzLNyi_D2CzpsVdjK60ux1YbczFJZL5Xw/w614-h640/AE699495-97A9-49C2-8190-9D4118FE146C.jpeg" width="614" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Rimphi The Stoic</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH4tCcgKd0e7WZt5Vh11qY7DG_ZUM3nmfcYHx9rA5MFb6lA6C0pkHyso2T-CRYzt9mHMxv5Y5w01S2YzyDQbcgXboDGJ8iEzde37YUuqEWAFj_u69JjSVx-LcpC-TlAcwO-Ba-JRnhop3WJj9maJ_ZTq3pTRoOs04a1lTowGW--IXqY5DkghklYxMgJw/s2845/440DE0EC-DB20-4D39-AA98-03179BD8AC02.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2844" data-original-width="2845" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH4tCcgKd0e7WZt5Vh11qY7DG_ZUM3nmfcYHx9rA5MFb6lA6C0pkHyso2T-CRYzt9mHMxv5Y5w01S2YzyDQbcgXboDGJ8iEzde37YUuqEWAFj_u69JjSVx-LcpC-TlAcwO-Ba-JRnhop3WJj9maJ_ZTq3pTRoOs04a1lTowGW--IXqY5DkghklYxMgJw/w640-h640/440DE0EC-DB20-4D39-AA98-03179BD8AC02.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>She wear a mask when performing her BSBing duties.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3G5S7YkP7uaa_VCmAZOIi7TGk4jSqnAP1-HfFv1ZtR9R55ZIqzcHJoXA4KaElfa1tdHXaY_ukxP-HUKFZBbEBXgDH2A5RC3nQL4OArcYL0TvhGYaR-iemclHMx1GW6okwS502Pv9mmrd0Ibhgpstn_G7lWGd3RKp34GSVlVamXDBuKswy8xUNZaNviA/s2699/264E38DF-2FC2-4D1D-BB97-C600118877F3.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2699" data-original-width="2304" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3G5S7YkP7uaa_VCmAZOIi7TGk4jSqnAP1-HfFv1ZtR9R55ZIqzcHJoXA4KaElfa1tdHXaY_ukxP-HUKFZBbEBXgDH2A5RC3nQL4OArcYL0TvhGYaR-iemclHMx1GW6okwS502Pv9mmrd0Ibhgpstn_G7lWGd3RKp34GSVlVamXDBuKswy8xUNZaNviA/w546-h640/264E38DF-2FC2-4D1D-BB97-C600118877F3.jpeg" width="546" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Rear view</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">So that's all for now, these models will hopefully be making their way to a fantasy battlefield near you in the near future.

Something unusual this time, square bases and something Olde Worlde. Years ago, before the Games Workshop design studio took a big steaming dump on Warhammer Fantasy Battle I was a massive fan, in particular, I had (and still have) a soft spot for Skaven. Now it's been several years since I've played fantasy but a recent trip to my attic ended up with me bringing down some square based models to colour in. </p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Warlock Engineers</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Several years ago I purchased from EvilBay these two Warlock Engineers, devious, inventive and cheap they are great unit leaders for Skavenslaves to boost their leadership to nearly average levels. They can be equipped with a few nasty weapons and at 15 points Olde Moneye they were ideal sacrificial troops. Not sure when these were actually manufactured but they are brilliantly characterful models in particular the engineer that has a giant rat perched on his back seemingly wringing his paws together with glee! </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje0Leusq3v9D0bzUlkxTMTEsqxrsqV2_sEPq3ag5CuXUS-Gbzx2Tg0uSCr_Tin66QgLf3iY4PMB8psheDq10CNias8WCKCXd2Tma7bn1v3DmdGyA7hitbovksl3hZMSb4RzhXbnQqqX0Ihmj1_0thrTbDTt3EPFTRCOGHdKWh9c2vhO_6ED1FmY-DIlg/s2707/2D5C37F2-D534-46B3-86A7-02822B0281A1.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2707" data-original-width="2619" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje0Leusq3v9D0bzUlkxTMTEsqxrsqV2_sEPq3ag5CuXUS-Gbzx2Tg0uSCr_Tin66QgLf3iY4PMB8psheDq10CNias8WCKCXd2Tma7bn1v3DmdGyA7hitbovksl3hZMSb4RzhXbnQqqX0Ihmj1_0thrTbDTt3EPFTRCOGHdKWh9c2vhO_6ED1FmY-DIlg/w388-h400/2D5C37F2-D534-46B3-86A7-02822B0281A1.jpeg" width="388" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>GW's dark Skaven transplant surgery period.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIylW2F9MpGoluYRExAHVT_1vFysOGNwbdK9RDp1j3QXNEeaqg-7CoDqMcCxF2n-v4R_3WutdtykqgcFwqlJ8T1M9FQB8cPgfsWtZ_JCTD_hAOARSv954m-aaV-WLQbVbibaDiG6s8yn3rKJ8BLiTysY1JQbutnb0dH7ZGH65wYDNMY0eTgYECvXY0iQ/s3007/790160BA-DAC8-4B35-8AEC-3AB4738FC97B.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2402" data-original-width="3007" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIylW2F9MpGoluYRExAHVT_1vFysOGNwbdK9RDp1j3QXNEeaqg-7CoDqMcCxF2n-v4R_3WutdtykqgcFwqlJ8T1M9FQB8cPgfsWtZ_JCTD_hAOARSv954m-aaV-WLQbVbibaDiG6s8yn3rKJ8BLiTysY1JQbutnb0dH7ZGH65wYDNMY0eTgYECvXY0iQ/w400-h320/790160BA-DAC8-4B35-8AEC-3AB4738FC97B.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Poisoned Wind Globadier</h3><div>This model literally took feck all time to paint as it is simple but still a very nice sculpt.

Of the many time I've used this beauty unpainted, it has done magnificent things. From a turn one panicking Tyrion and his accompanying unit of Dragon Knights off the table to the time it detonated killing 70ish models to win me the game, it has always been entertaining. This isn't the first time I have finished it but an unfortunate blog post featuring <a href="https://thefatgitseffort.blogspot.com/2013/07/varnish-cum-of-devil.html" target="_blank">Daemon Semen</a> back many years ago put me off having a second go for yonks. Maturity and me taking a notion got it back on the painting bureau and brought back to life. This model is a bit of a hybrid as it was one of those undercoated black with lots of dry brushing then inks were applied and then certain parts were then painted white with some contrast paints.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6MpENkjAL5PYD5zJGJ6h9T8SK_U6T0nKfI1R0hI8r_dUxxkDcY7Z8cVG4tcNh_mDZdLv-Bn9GFuWu4y4fccNNnqKyLV962oGeKAGyX9bNyvG2VJ4criwGZDp-TXfQbKUPkXUK9wSziwHIps3lPGGBdp-PoCEq94f7Ln_CWB6jP5P7KCPC5Qq_NDVGmg/s3325/6087FBAF-F0F2-445C-971A-50F7C23CA74F.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3325" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6MpENkjAL5PYD5zJGJ6h9T8SK_U6T0nKfI1R0hI8r_dUxxkDcY7Z8cVG4tcNh_mDZdLv-Bn9GFuWu4y4fccNNnqKyLV962oGeKAGyX9bNyvG2VJ4criwGZDp-TXfQbKUPkXUK9wSziwHIps3lPGGBdp-PoCEq94f7Ln_CWB6jP5P7KCPC5Qq_NDVGmg/w364-h400/6087FBAF-F0F2-445C-971A-50F7C23CA74F.jpeg" width="364" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Liberal application of Warp Lightning again.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3320" data-original-width="2586" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgze0OtWYHxZ1UQAQTZzSu0TFmcvLMj87WH4B46gs1OLB4vJFRJEo_lseeCCThNj0Lsgyz2NQcfREKihh6RZ6C_NGveTdOpXc6UCMXuN4H2LXLtsY3SCnnG9b7Wck6rDfzQnCE_78KNiw902rFiAuAPDkcj03JBN5AkyCC5eoIbN3gin57xuKc0qzD_8A/w311-h400/65A398F8-943E-48EA-A82A-B052E6CB3FEF.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="311" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Ding Dong!

About ten years ago I thought I'd use it as a centrepiece fore an urban fountain that would adorn my battlefields but I never completed. About three months ago I was rummaging through my bits box and found it, then I thought he'd make a grand Grotesque for my Drukhari army. Contrast paints were used and here he is, ready to muck up enemies of the Commoragh or possibly wander on to a Warhammer Fantasy Battle field.

Now he can be a big mutant if such a thing exists still in 40K or as another Grotesque for the Druchari, this one with a liquefier gun. He can also be one of those 'Experiment 23' type scenarios where a small team of elites have to go in and kill him and some of his mates. For those interested he's a Mutant Chronicles model that may be available from <a href="https://shop.princeaugust.ie/" target="_blank">Prince August</a>, I had a quick look but couldn't find him.

I have backed a few of their kickstarters and this came as a freebie in one of them. I thought it might work as some kind of alien merc in a frontier world scenario where being an alien isn't a death sentence. Of course the model could also be a human with an elaborate helmet, so not as likely to be killed. Although frontier worlds are notoriously dangerous so there could be a crime of 'wearing a helmet in a built up area'. The punishment is obviously death. A bodyguard type job is also very likely for him. In any case some contrast paints, metallics and inks got the job done.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiV8O-m-UauNqy17jMrpugGDzDdTcXTD05t3WIm52w8kM_VhomxFWmq7wieQuyL80C20P5uAW91NkR8u_WQ4P_x5SXoldPVurDyN97vklHSwl_jC_SJ2p453DH-5M-WVhFHJnVigms8Y6pnxI0nx4ZikkeuX5uLOdTDq0xaY5lOhEOBtJhFthzN5nNjsQ=s3456" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2638" data-original-width="3456" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiV8O-m-UauNqy17jMrpugGDzDdTcXTD05t3WIm52w8kM_VhomxFWmq7wieQuyL80C20P5uAW91NkR8u_WQ4P_x5SXoldPVurDyN97vklHSwl_jC_SJ2p453DH-5M-WVhFHJnVigms8Y6pnxI0nx4ZikkeuX5uLOdTDq0xaY5lOhEOBtJhFthzN5nNjsQ=w400-h305" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Careful, you could have someone's eye out with that".</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">So that's all folks, until my next update, hobby responsibly, wear protection where necessary and try not to fall for any conspiracy theory pranks.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Thanks for reading.</span></h3>Jason Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515009106842594803noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363654280607331339.post-8767730304412881052022-02-03T14:14:00.003+00:002022-02-03T14:14:53.921+00:00The Battle of Gnochi Heights<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><i>Adraxys</i></b></span></span><i><span style="color: #800180;"><b> Molech felt the familiar sensation of excitement. His raider contained his Incubi bodyguard and his most trusted Kabalite lackeys. A number of Death Guard marines were captured, placed in bleached stasis caskets and sent back to the arenas along with many other unfortunates. Following his previous success Molech had attracted a band of Scourges with the promise of slaughter. Beldam Qud his Haemonculus ally had informed him that to further her own research and their mutual profit, Primaris marines would be useful specimens for experimentation. An Imperial Battle Group of the ludicrously named Indomitus Crusade had been sent to the Pariah Nexus in the Nephilum sub sector. The opportunity to torment the humans seemed to good too pass up. It was discovered that a sizable force of Void Spectres were scouting a planet named Tuberosum for Necron influence.

We played a game called <i>Assault on the Installation </i>from the Beyond the Veil Crusade book. It is set in the Pariah Nexus and has plenty of cool little bells and whistles to enhance your games within a spooky Necron controlled area of the galaxy. The scenario itself has three objectives that have to be controlled to win that give a 5++ save and <i>transhuman physiology </i>to any unit within 3" of it. Following the last game, a unit a Scourges with shredders were added to the force and the Hellion unit gained the Drukhari battle honour <i>lightning strikes </i>(extra melee hit on a 6), Serpentia gained <i>proficient predator </i>(single reroll per turn) and the Incubi received <i>veteran warriors </i>(no need to hang round with the Archon any more).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><b><i><span style="color: #800180; font-family: georgia;"> </span></i></b><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX0 SCXW246789777" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="TextRun SCXW246789777 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" face="Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; font-weight: bold; line-height: 31.2958px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-GB">Agendas;</span><span class="EOP SCXW246789777 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" face="Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 31.2958px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p><p style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">For this game, I thought I'd try <i>take credit, cull the hordes </i>and<i> assassins.

Cull the Hordes was a poor choice but I hadn't read the agenda properly and assassins wasn't great as there was only one character in Dylan's force. </span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX0 SCXW246789777" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;

As the marines were wiped out to a man (?) I think the battle went well. The scenario was dependent on holding the three objectives and the added survivability gained by hanging out by the power sources made getting them vital, fortunately for me Dylan going first really helped me as it made a couple of first turn charges very achievable. Once the left and central objectives were contested it suited my army better to get stuck into combat, especially as Hellions are made to kill marines! Both units of Wyches were shot out as was the Venom on the right and the accompanying Succubus, these casualties were acceptable due to the focused fire that left a lot of the other units unmolested. On the downside Serpentia H'Tamm received another battle scar - a second lost leg! Amazingly she has no legs but has the same movement speed as an average human. For winning the scenario I got to use the supply limit requisition twice for nowt so my crusade force was now 65 PL.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX0 SCXW246789777" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><h3 style="background-color: transparent; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"></h3><h3 style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><span class="TextRun SCXW246789777 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" face="Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 18pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; font-weight: bold; line-height: 31.2958px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-GB">Territorial Dominance</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: none; font-weight: normal;">This was the first game I rolled a 4+ on the raid spoils.

Sly Marbo got finished too. A Commissar also made it into the ranks of the gainfully employed.

Basically a chip shop in the underhive that can be some sort of Botulism themed franchise that may well become a common feature in future battle reports. </div> </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Gaming</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The current gaming situation is pretty haphazard but I think I managed to get about a dozen games of 40K in. Mainly with my Drukhari (probably exclusively so) and with their supposed broken nature (even after a couple of nerfs) they seems to be going pretty well. Back in October we had Shanecon; our gaming groups version of Gamesday. Great fun and was brilliant to meet up with half a dozen other members of our group in one place. I'm hoping this can become an annual thing but that is obviously up to Shane.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Social Media</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">My most popular Instagram post got me 58 likes, here it is my aforementioned <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUe6F_EthOf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank">Primaris Abberrant</a> conversion. Some other pics were quite well received but this was top dog. Hopefully I can get to a 60 like pic in 2022.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">The Future</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Well so much to do! Most immediate is the upcoming GSC Codex that I should have in the next couple of weeks, if youtube and other sources are to be believed, it's both thematic and tasty. I have some industrial terrain semi constructed to go with the aforementioned cult and who knows I may even try to theme an entire table for them to mess around on. I will also continue to paint up my Drukhari and play crusade games with them. I want to beat this years painting totals and also the number of games played. I'm also planning to convert my as yet unconstructed Hemlock into a Razorwing jetfighter complete with spikes and a tortured Crimson Hunter chained to the roof of it. I also plan to try to keep to these resolutions, and not get completely distracted when the Craftworlds codex comes out later in the year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So whatever I do do, thanks for reading my blog and I hope you have a hobby filled 2022, so much hobby you can just about take it!

The Nurglites were searching for some piece of primitive archeotech that had some religious or strategic value to them.

The combatants remain the same as my Archon desires a second crack at Dylan's Death Guard army. This time the scenario is The Relic and it proved to be bloody affair (insomuch as bloodless toy soldiers can spill it anyway). Other things worth noting is the apparent Benjamin Button paint progression of my models, no, I'm not painting then reapplying undercoat over them, this actually game was back in May. So the scenario is the Relic, pretty much a mad dash to the centre of the table where a rugby type scrum will ensue until someone leaves with the relic and runs off the table. As in the previous crusade game, I will write in more of a narrative style. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800180;"><i><b>Adraxys' force had been ready for some time waiting for the Nurgle force to attempt to retrieve the artefact.

Namely Serpentia lost a leg (-1 M surprisingly), Quentifel received a chest wound (-1 W), and a Venom gained <i>weakened armour</i>. On the plus side, Serpentia gained a battle honour so I thought <i>proficient predator</i> would be cool - a reroll of hit, wound damage or save roll per turn. My other Succubus pulled rank with the Hellions and claimed the Relic, I decided <i>artisan bionics</i> may increase her longevity as she was down a wound. Despite winning the game, no raid spoils either. There were now a number of units very close to upgrades so we could be seeing some horrible enhancements over the next few battles (fingers crossed).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800180;"><i><b>Once back in the Commoragh and the plunder was divided out Adraxys return to his lair. Several of his underlings were suffering from niggling injuries that would not heal as they should, Serpentia's leg was a festering ruin and Quentifel had a severe wound to her chest that weeped blood despite the finest healing salves that would normally leave nothing but a slight blemish. Adraxys pondered the value of allowing wounded allies to remain in his force, such a show of weakness could mean some upstart Dracon might attempt to gain prestige at his expense. Despite the raid being a resounding success he felt he was not really in a strong enough position to remove either Succubi. No, another raid to gain more souls for his Kabal would allow him to strengthen his position. A barely perceptible flick of his hand brought his senior servant scurrying out of a concealed alcove near his throne. "I believe Haemonculus Qud has taken an interest in these Primaris Marines. Find me a planet with a sizable force of them so we can bring some back to bargain with her and perhaps enough samples for a private exhibition with some of my peers."</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800180;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800180;"><i><b>"At once my lord!".</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800180;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800180;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><i><b>Thanks for reading.</b></i></h3><p></p>Jason Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515009106842594803noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363654280607331339.post-81076255988930496122021-12-29T13:29:00.000+00:002021-12-29T13:29:11.101+00:00Khaine's Favourite Little Murderers<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> Happy nearly new year!

Smaller units give you better board control and if riding a Raider you can drop of one squad and scoot to another part of the table with the other. A couple of games I had when I jumped them all out I found they were basically overqualified to defeat a ten man Intercessor squad****. What they are qualified to do, is lay some serious smackdown on any unit that has the misfortune to get in engagement range of them. With Drazhar accompanying them they become even more hideous and if I can combine them with the grisly trophies on a Raider or Venom, then they become OP***** level good. In conclusion, I predict my domination of the Cavan 40K scene for a while and nothing can stop me******!

As Fluxmangler had been impaled on the Raiders prow there was no sense of elation among their ranks, and the surviving Drukhari fled back through the webway. When Adraxxys returned to his stronghold -The Onyx Tower - his mood was dark, the Nurglites had bested him and only a few captives were taken. Barely enough to cover the cost of the expedition. The Wyches of the Sinister Path - Karks own handmaidens had shamed themselves. The Hellions were barely able to move around without their skyboards and the Reavers were disgraced, Molech was tempted to throw them all to Haemonculus Qud for vivisection but the taint of defeat was on them so little would be gained. One benefit of the raid was the significant amount to Daemon ichor that had been gleaned from the raider, some sort of elixir could be made once a suitable bargain could be made. Now all that consumed the Archon was to get revenge on the Death Guard.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><br /></b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><br /></b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So that was a fanciful account of a recent game. No raid spoils, no advances but a couple of devastating blows and a <i>mark of shame </i>for a unit of Wyches. Walking wounded Hellions and Disgraced Reavers are both more problematic. To be honext the number of 1's rolled in the end game phase was shocking! They very nearly ended up as a one battle crusade army but I decided to persevere. Next up on the list of whimsical battle reports is the return bought against Dylan's Death Guard.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">Thanks for Reading</h3><p></p>Jason Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515009106842594803noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363654280607331339.post-65322791576273244422021-12-12T15:06:00.002+00:002021-12-18T16:55:54.301+00:00A More Wretched Hive Of Scum A Villany?<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> Good (insert whatever time related salutation of the day as applicable) readers .

Not to worry she has already seen a couple of battles where she has acquitted herself adequately. She has a habit of wandering off during the battle away from her bodyguard generally causing her demise. Not a problem, a quick scape up of her remains by a faithful retainer and she'll be right as rain in a day or two. Qud is quite an innovator as her Wracks will testify, being part genestealer part tarrelian. Her current project is to create a Cronos pain engine using the trapped essense of a C'tan Deceiver. Hopefully that will be created sometime in 2022.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjiyaeYGKHz8dYbhf5dav8iMSARfqD4U5nsMWy-h6q4YltjcziFkJFvuAV9YVpNDJiJcfWyct_lzQi8DVoLERcs7wi6axj_Ze8UOHk86lGIPBMctEp9O0M5A1sUN2oU_ohNLw_qeUpW-n8WaVXFqCBYUBgzr0CiwZ1goaAYw4lggXf2q3whTKxeH1GHpQ=s2048" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1530" data-original-width="2048" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjiyaeYGKHz8dYbhf5dav8iMSARfqD4U5nsMWy-h6q4YltjcziFkJFvuAV9YVpNDJiJcfWyct_lzQi8DVoLERcs7wi6axj_Ze8UOHk86lGIPBMctEp9O0M5A1sUN2oU_ohNLw_qeUpW-n8WaVXFqCBYUBgzr0CiwZ1goaAYw4lggXf2q3whTKxeH1GHpQ=w400-h299" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Black sports bras are all the rage in the Commoragh. </b></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Next up is a couple of space pirate boats, fantastic models that I've painted in red and purple.

As my own Astra Militarum regiment is not Catachan, this guy's name is Marl Sybo.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu5JMfyOtrxM2_qUOZRFbYaAP7sm5jqwxathNUFmGyIsiuMIscv6HK14P83FASciEA1V6K-CHZn5vpfVd6gVRW1ziOTodW_ZJtdofZEkla2bIffGvOeLhV0vQ6hGCDRALrvM9_A8a64xQUGhRudKhVgG6mPcEABxt1z1LO_YB7YmsisJS4_CiGug3ysA=s2048" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1945" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu5JMfyOtrxM2_qUOZRFbYaAP7sm5jqwxathNUFmGyIsiuMIscv6HK14P83FASciEA1V6K-CHZn5vpfVd6gVRW1ziOTodW_ZJtdofZEkla2bIffGvOeLhV0vQ6hGCDRALrvM9_A8a64xQUGhRudKhVgG6mPcEABxt1z1LO_YB7YmsisJS4_CiGug3ysA=w380-h400" width="380" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>99% finished I think, maybe a tattoo and some stubble?</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLWqhMUVjWuDYhuZ_74Oe1nf2xHA-pFjHuSaBtJiKUmLDxE20n7J9pZa03u8VkT0nxQE5wn6FkNUoRAeZcsMC6cNjQfcEF6dfQBOrNVmxK3gYiJu-C2P_YSiSIWhrXxC3WG-XHC11x7ZmYnuc1nSBc94VW3tTk8jDEEzf3Z4BokXy28qVji9GmCWAr7A=s2048" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1703" data-original-width="2048" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLWqhMUVjWuDYhuZ_74Oe1nf2xHA-pFjHuSaBtJiKUmLDxE20n7J9pZa03u8VkT0nxQE5wn6FkNUoRAeZcsMC6cNjQfcEF6dfQBOrNVmxK3gYiJu-C2P_YSiSIWhrXxC3WG-XHC11x7ZmYnuc1nSBc94VW3tTk8jDEEzf3Z4BokXy28qVji9GmCWAr7A=w400-h333" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Marl Sybo stares off into the distance looking heroic.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Obligitary Genestealer Hybrids Section</h3><div style="text-align: justify;">As most updates from me feature hybrids (and I'm not so obtuse as to consider Gorky Arris' arm to count) here are the baldies. As mentioned in a previous post, I have made a Skink/Genestealer hybrid. This particular one was created when a Purestrain genestealer got frisky on jungle world Slimex VI as the Assembly of D'Keddes were passing through the system. The host species, an amphibious Skink was were all but wiped out by Inquisitorial forces following the psychic spoor the the Assembly. Fortunately the wise decision to suck up several tonnes of impregnated Skinkspawn into a transport ship allows this brand new species to continue in some form, and hopefully spread the word of universal love and tolerance whilst executing non believers galaxy wide. </div><br /><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1n26w6gZ8hAkteTj4g2kHTpa5AyjCiCdO8gno-Gcy6O1n7_tZb2Jm2wavFhTY3kCSJl3pSEmaRRXLmVILUW0AXKIn8yzz27yfRSjDw5M4HYHNcObp-l8giJnAQ38RYiHGPh3-ce0azP7ag-XrwBeRT6qnMxYTgnxplW7kEG9R-KePkIekei2Z6j2Q0g=s2048" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="2048" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1n26w6gZ8hAkteTj4g2kHTpa5AyjCiCdO8gno-Gcy6O1n7_tZb2Jm2wavFhTY3kCSJl3pSEmaRRXLmVILUW0AXKIn8yzz27yfRSjDw5M4HYHNcObp-l8giJnAQ38RYiHGPh3-ce0azP7ag-XrwBeRT6qnMxYTgnxplW7kEG9R-KePkIekei2Z6j2Q0g=w400-h323" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Glip Muscosity, original Hybrid.</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><div>As if that wasn't enough, here are some more hybrids, these are all metal models from many moons ago with some new plastic hybrid arms where applicable.
