NEW Chaos 'Dex Leaked Pics!

Ave Dominus Nox!

Check it OUT! I got a leaked PDF of the new Chaos Space Marine Codex!!! (comment your email if you would like the link) here is just a teaser of the awesomeness within....

Black Crusade: For The Dark Gods(RPG Style)!

Last night I tried out Fantasy Flight's Chaos Space Marine RPG called "Black Crusade" and WOW was I impressed! The character creation is long, so it will take you a little while to a get a character set up. however, its totally worth it as the character creation (as well as being long) is very in depth and really gives some background to your character. I would really recommend this to anyone who likes Chaos and Roleplaying games.

Central Oregon Wargaming Forums!

For all you local Central Oregon Wargamers here is a link to where we dwell! Central Oregon Wargaming's the name! Check it out!! (4 days left till the new Chaos Marines are released!)

New Chaos Advanced Ordered!

Sevetar, Ultimate BAD@$$

Its official! I just pre-ordered a copy of the new Chaos Space Marine Codex, a Heldrake, some Warp Talons, and a Night Lords Conversion kit! I'm so freaking excited! As soon as I receive this products I will definately post some pics and such. The Heldrake will be my first flyer so that's definately going to be interesting in game. And then there's the Warp Talons who (depending on how they look once I've thoroughly "Night Lord-ed" them) might just be my new favorite models. DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR! MAY THE IMPERIUM BURN IN THE PATH OF THE VIII LEGION! AVE DOMINUS NOX!!!! (Too much excitement? Naaaaaah, there's no such thing.)

Xenomorphs + Warhammer 40,000 = BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!

Xenomorph Genestealers! I've died and gone to heaven!

As you all may or may not know, I love the Alien movies as much as I love Warhammer 40,000 so when i saw this picture it was an instant nerdgasm. I mean. honestly, whats cooler than Xenomorphs in 40k? Nothing, NOTHING I tell you!!! Sooner or later I will probably make an entire army converted like this one day. I imagine the list would look something like this :

                     "A Tyranid Prime (converted to look like a Queen), and then TONS of Genestealers converted up like that. The end"

Yup, that is my new dream army, right there. Now, all I need is to dramatically improve my greenstuff-ing skills...

The Horus Heresy Has Come...Choose Your Allegiance...

Forge World has actually done it. They made a model for a Primarch and rules for Horus Heresy battles. And I couldn't be happier. If I had that type of money I would definitely order the first Horus Heresy Rulebook. That thing just looks amazing. Without a doubt, I will also be SCOURING the web in the month to come for a PDF of the Rulebook. I'm pretty sure all of us Space Marine or Chaos Space Marine fans have always wanted to re-enact our favorite moments from the heresy, and now those dreams can become reality. If I ever do find a PDF, I will definitely be sure to share it with you guys.

Anyway, this Angron model is just kick @$$!!  I think this model really personifies "pre-daemonification" Angron, in all his psycho-rage-monster-chainaxe glry.

 Although, my favorite part of this model and Rulebook is the fact that it means they will (hopefully) make models and rules for all of the Primarchs (and Legions). And do you know what that means? Yes, Konrad Curze is (hopefully) getting a model... Ave Dominus Nox.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

I'll Be Back...

Hey sorry for the HUGE break in posts but I will be postng regularily very soon! Ave Dominus Nox!

Night Lords = Blood Angels?!?! Yeah, It Blew My Mind Too!

Just the other day I was playing some 40k at the Local Hobby shop and I decided I was sick and tired of using a codex that didn't represent my army(Night Lords) correctly so here's what I've seen other players do and what I did: used the Blood Angels codex to represent Night Lords. And I LOVED it! Here is the list that I used

HQ:
Librarian w/ Terminator Armour(Psychic Powers Sanguine Sword and Smite)

ELITES:
Sanguinary Priest w/ Lightning Claws and Jump Pack and Brother Corbulo

Terminator Assault Squad

TROOPS:
11 Death Company

10 Tactical Marines w/ 2 Plasma guns and Sargeant Power Fist

10 Tactical Marines w/ 2 Plasma guns and Sargeant Power Fist

FAST ATTACK:
10 Vanguard Veterans w/ Jump Packs, Lightning Claw, and Melta Bombs

10 Vanguard Veterans w/ Jump Packs, Lightning Claw, and Melta Bombs

I think it worked rather well, as I beat one of my good friends who is rather good at 40k.

This is my first attempt at summarizing a game I played like 5 days ago, so cut me a little slack. My opponent was playing Space Marines and his list was rather shooty with (as best as I can remember): Lysander, a Sternguard Veteran Squad in Drop pod, 4 or 5 Tactical Squads in Rhinos, 2 Dreadnaughts w/ double Autocannons, and 2 devestator squads w/ 4 missle launchers each. The game was kill points and he had first turn. One of the key moments in the game was when I used Corbulo's special rule to re-roll my siezing of the initiative which earned me the first turn! The first 3 turns of the game went along the lines of my veterans tearing stuff up(including wiping out the Sternguard in 1 turn of combat) and him having a hard time killing anything because of my Sanguinary Priests. However, at turn 4 the tables began to turn. My units started to die from the amount of shots being poured into them and it soon became apparent this would be a close game. In the end, random game length saved me, as the game ended with me having TWO Tactical marines left on the board, but more kill points then my opponent, ending in a bloody victory for the Night Lords.

The only changes I would make to this list is the replacing of the tactical marines with Assault Marines. Anyway, that's all for today, as usual comments are appreciated. Enjoy!

40k 6th Edition: I Cant Tell Whether I'm Excited or Not

With the imminent release of 6th edition Warhammer 40,000 I have been asked this question many times recently: "Are you excited?", and my answer: I'm not sure.

(From a reliable source) this may be the 6th ed cover

The reason I say I'm not sure is because I want something new, exciting, and not ridiculous (but knowing GW I somehow doubt the reality of asking for that) and I'm not sure I'm going to get it. From what I've heard, this may be edition 5.5 more than anything. I liked the rumors we all heard that said they were switching the shooting phase around.

Also, I really, REALLY, hope the second army in the starter kit is Chaos Space Marines, as I reaaaally want a cheap starter box with cool Chaos models. Anyway, that's all I have to say for today, as usual comments appreciated.

"Prometheus, are you seeing this?"

Has anyone else seen the new sci-fi movie Prometheus? Yes, i know this really doesn't have a whole lot to do with warhammer but the aliens look kinda enough like Tyranids so we're all good. Anyway, if any of you like Science fiction at ALL,  then  I pretty much guarantee  you will like this movie. It has a very good plot, and AMAZING visuals (some of the best I've seen). The only downside to the movie is:

"Things are going to invade Human bodies...very VIOLENTLY
  Things are going to erupt from Human bodies...very VIOLENTLY
  Things are going to die...very VIOLENTLY"

Read more of my firends review at:http://deathfearsme.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=warp&action=display&thread=572#ixzz1y42XBYFn


All in all, i would rate this movie a 9 out of 10. In fact, i liked it so much I'm about to go see it again. go figure, huh?

Did someone say "The Lord of the Rings"?

Neldë cor an I elda aran nuin I vilya,

Er an I dûr heru dûr mar

Er an I dûr heru dûr mar...

Ever since I purchased a book called The Languages of Tolikien's Middle-earth and subsequent re-reading and re-watching of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy I have really been into The Lord of the Rings Battle Strategy Game (I even hope to post a battle report soon)! As of right now I own a small Uruk-hai force:

Lurtz
20 Uruk-hai w/ shield
20 Uruk-hai w/ pike
3 Uruk-hai w/ crossbow
3 Berserkers
4 Warg Riders
8 Orcs w/ spears
4 Orcs w/ bows

I have not yet bought the Fallen Realms source book so I'm not yet sure how many points that is but I hope to really expand this army over the summer!

Undead Skaven?! Thats right!

So here I was, first day of summer, nuthin to do. I decided I wanted more Skeleton Warriors for my Vampire Counts army, but I had no money! I looked through my boxes of models I never use and had an idea! I took ALL the skaven Clanrats from the Island of Blood kit and chopped off ALL their right arms and heads and replaced them with Skeleton arms and skulls! Ta-daa! 20 free skeletons!
Here's a picture:

0110110101101001011101(Thats Necron for "I'm starting Necrons")

I have decided to start a new Warhammer 40,000 army: The Necrons (well technically, I'm just re-starting them because I used to play them as my first army but I sold them all). I made this descision early Saturday. It all started when I checked my favorite rumors blog and I discovered some terrible news: Chaos Legions won't be coming out for a while. Totally devastated, I rounded up all my Night Lords and packed them into a box and I'm not gong to look at them until Legions is released. Now here I was with no 40k army and having a strange urge to play 40k. Then I remembered: my good friend is selling an army of Necrons for cheap! Bingo! 

The color scheme I've decided to go with is that of the Charnovokh Dynasty, as you can see in my earlier drawings. I started a sketchbook with all the Necron units and how I will paint them. God I love being able to draw.

But still I don't know what list to run my army with. Here is a list of everything I have (ideas and comments for lists are appreciated( fyi I don't actually have them yet))

HQ
3 Necron Overlords/ Lords
3 Crypteks

ELITES
6 Flayed Ones

TROOPS
60 Warriors

FAST ATTACK
12 Canoptek Swarms
6 Destroyers

HEAVY SUPPORT
2 Monoliths
Canoptek Spyder

The Return of the Vampire Counts!

Today I played two games with my Vampire Counts, testing out a new list I've been trying lately. I lost both times, so I don't know how good it is. Anyway, here's the list:
1500 Vampire Counts List
Heinrich Kemmler
Mannfred the Acolyte
48 Skeletons w/ command, and spears
25 Zombies w/ banner and command
1 Spirit Host
1 Spirit Host
1 Spirit Host
9 Black Knights w/ Command, lances, and barding
Varghulf

Apologies for all!

I'm so sorry I have not been posting the last month or so! It was because my email was hacked into and my google and blogger accounts are linked so I couldn't post. But I'm back now! So here are some Necrons I drew over the break:

Lychguard

Necron Warrior

Chaos Sorceror Drawing

I couldn't think of anything to post so here's a drawing I drew. Enjoy

Gaming Log 4/14/12, Titanic rememberance

WToday I tried out a much better beastmen list on my dwarf enemy. It pretty much worked, as I tabled him. My list was mostly centered around a hard core of 6 gor squads allowing half of my army to ambush. And with the devils own luck all my ambushing units appeared turn one!
Also, let us take a moment to remember the 1,500 souls who died tonight with the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. May they rest in peace...

Paint RAAAAAAAGE!

Well, I was going to write you guys this awesome article on how to paint my Beastmen. However, then I remembered GW changed their entire paint range, and all my paints are the old ones. WHY did GW have to change that?! I think its just a ridiculous scheme to suck up our money . anyway that's all for now

Trench Table

I was thinking of making a table like the one pictured below. I have been doing some research on WWI and the whole idea of trench warfare really captivated me. My plan is to make it out of pink insulation foam and carve the trenches out with one of those exacto knives that heat up. The trenches will be about the height of a terminator and as wide as a terminator base.  Then I will base the entire board desert-y. I will keep you guys posted whenever I work on it. If you have comments or suggestions please feel free to leave I comment. All ideas are appreciated!

Spartan Space Marines!

As soon as I saw these on the Forge World website, I was in love! I mean, spartan space marines? WIN! So yeah, I thought I'd share that with y'all

Fantasy Campaign upcoming!

This Sunday there is going to be a fantasy campaign and I plan on bringing my new beastmen! The points value starts at 1000 and goes up 250 every Sunday. For the first day of the campaing my list is centered around some solid blocks of Gors and plenty of ambushers. Also, I have 2 bray shamans to cast lore of the wild signature spell which will enable my army to move into combat faster. I hope to fight some gunline dwarves who just love incoming beastmen behind their artillary...

Gaming log 4/9/12

So after about a month of no wargaming, I finally got a game in last night!
Fantasy Game
Me (Beastmen) vs Dwarves
2000 points, loss
My key flaw for this game was list design. To get up to 2000 points I took Ghorros Warhoof and stocked up on Centigors which failed epicly. Also, my Gor squads were only 10 each which took all of the usefullness out of my ambushing units. Overall, the game did not go well and I got crushed by a horde of Slayers and Hammerers. Not a good start to my beastmen army. Better luck next time, I suppose.
Also, earlier Monday I was in Corvallis Oregon and I visited "Pegasus Games." The place was packed FULL of warhammer and had TONS of OOP models. Very cool. I even bought myself a single centigor. Right across the street was a book shop that where I found such treasures as Dark Millenuim and BA codex 1st ed!
Lastly, is some (almost) fully painted Beastmen Gors. Anyway, that's all for today.
Ave Dominus Nox,
D. Slye

Beastmen are coming!

Here's a sneak peek at my beastmen color scheme:
