Adepticon 2013 38 days and counting

   So, it is getting close to that time of the year. I am not sure what I plan on taking with me. There is a chance for a Nurgle vs Space puppies grudge match, with a old friend of mine {Dave the Destroyer}. But, I have made a good blood angle jump army. If he goes it will be his first year. So, I am inclined to take an army he would like to play against.
  I am not sure if psychosquire is coming with yet. He pops up close to the con and gives little notice. He is sneaky like that. He most likely will bring a eldar/dark eldar list. I have play against it and got destroyed by it. I played nurgle and his Harley/HQ unit is a beast.
  Perv goat may also show up, if his work schedule clears up. This would be his first time also. We may get a few Malifaux games in I hope to get a few more models painted by then. If I am lucky, I hope to get another 40k game against him. We have played a game last month and he beat me but it was very tight. We played at the Battle Bunker and everyone was commenting on his old minis (2nd edition). It was great to see all the players giving their respect.
  I wish my buddy Ozzy could go for at least a day. He is a big Warmahoard player. I think he would get a kick out of it. But he has a hard work schedule.
  Well, I guess we will see who goes as we get closer.

40k Rule Book 6th ed in my hands

 I picked up the tomb it is big. I did not get to read to much today but, Snapshot and overwatch rocks. I will post more later.

Forgeworld Decimator

Forgeworld has released its rumored Chaos Daemon Engine. Called the "Decimator"

From Forgeworld:

The Decimator is a brutal and hellish creation; the essence of a creature of the Warp bound and fettered within the armoured bulk of a bipedal war machine. Great slab-shoulders of tainted and defiled ceramite and adamantium, and a low-set ‘head’ give the Decimator a characteristic hunched posture which exudes brooding and vicious menace.

Inquisitorial savants do not know for sure what malefic party is responsible for this sinful innovation as the Decimator is capable of fielding a wide range of armament: rapid-firing Butcher Cannons, multi-barrelled Stormlasers, and great raking Siege Claws to name but a few. Towering over even the mighty Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts of the Adeptus Astartes, the Decimator is believed to be an attempt to bolster the ranks of such ancient devices that still serve the Traitor Legions. If this is the truth, then it is feared that many warriors of the Imperium will fall before these deadly war machines.

The Decimator Daemon Engine, model designed by Daren Parrwood and Edgar Skomorowski, is an incredibly detailed full resin kit that stands roughly 4" (102mm) tall. Weapons for this fell war machine are sold separately. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Monday 2nd April, and you can also download experimental rules for the Decimator from the Forge World website.

 I plan on getting one or two at adepticon.

Adepticon 2012 38 Days away (Please Hurry)

    So, my plan was to complete an army just for open games at Adepticon. Well, I did it 1505pt. Blood Angel  Jump pack heavy army. I played it at Chicago Battle bunker against a daemon army. I didn't win but it was close. I would like to adjust it a little. I used Dante and the Sanguinator I think it is alittle much.
   So, the Swag Bag news looks good. Blue Table Painting is putting up templates. The first 500 people to go through registration get a battle foam bag. Last year I got a starter box of Warmachine that paid for the ticket, not to mention the novels and t-shirts that came in the bag.
  I am also looking forward to the bits sales and the nightly swap-o-rama deals galore. Yes, Forgeworld will be there. I wonder what the con limited edition model will be. I will try to post about the Con as much as possible. I plan on buying alot of cool stuff. Let me know what you want me to post about.

Forgeworld: Contemptor KHERES Pattern Assault Cannon Arm

 So Forgeworld has released some new weapon arms for the contemptor . The two I like the most are posted below.



CONTEMPTOR PATTERN KHERES ASSAULT CANNON

This thing rocks the rules stat it was the first generation assault cannon. This means a stats adjustment (yeah), they make it assault 6 and kept the rending rules. All this goodness for 15 points. Now when I was at Gamesday they had a dreadnought with an assault cannon in each arm and a cyclonic (ish) missile launcher on the back. That would be 12 str 6 rending shots and a missile shot.  Love it. Guessing 225 pt.  What do you think?  

Here is the the second arm that I liked. Not because it has a good stat, but it is because of the look. I hate the old style twin linked heavy bolters. Well maybe not the new nurgle one.





Forgeworld: Contemptor

 So Forgeworld has done it again another must have model. Oh oh blood angles here I come, I am a choas killer. Or this maybe a good Nurgle model I might call him Oscar. I will wait to see what they will do for Chaos.
  What do you think?

Forgeworld: Dark Eldar Reaper

So Dark Eldar has gotten some love from Forgeworld. The stats on the gun are a little over powered. It has two modes of fire a 5 inch blast (for Troops) and a concentrated beam. The blast gets the haywire rule: after damage roll a d6 2-5 glancing, 6 pen this is extra. Beam gets the kill shock rule: d3 Haywire rolls and instant death to models with toughness. It runs under 150 points and I think 2 could kill any Baneblane around. What do you think?

He who is without a name

 I have had a Titan for awhile.  I enjoyed painting the Titan and asembly was easy as it is a Armourcast verision. I have not yet to name him as he has not earned a name in battle. It is not that he dosen't fight well, it is that he has not had a worthy opponent.  This is by no fault of my opponents it is because the Titan is hard to handle and my group of friends do not have many larger models.

-

  So I have held using him unless the group shows no concern as to having to face him. I admit I would have concerns to face him myself. But I have faced many in battle and won and lost with pride. But a titan without a name is like a gladiator with out an arena. Looks good to have but is worthless in reality. He needs to show worth or be cast down to the halls of Evil-bay.
