Battle Report, Chaos Gribblies vs Pointy Eared Snacks

Had a rematch game against Jarryd yesterday, 1850 points, hammer and anvil (again), and relic for an objective. I was fielding my chaos gribbly army again and he fielded his vemom spam list with some proxied eldar corsair allies.

What i saw :)

note the big based raiders were on the left a warp hunter and on the right a falcon, prince elfing the quadgun and some missile launcher toting corsairs

what he saw, minus the heldrake and some cultists hiding in reserve, nurglings leading the charge as always

 first turn he gakked the one maulerfiend and put some wounds on some beasties. i ran forward

 

 thirster got grounded first time and then shredded by venoms, normal spawn squad deleted, hullpoint taken off vindicator, lord of khorne on jugger got one venom

 sorry should have documented this better, but basically i killed a few more venoms and pretty much everything else got systematically erased out of existence. i called the game turn 5, only had my nurglings left :) heck of a nice fight, good practice

Skullkrushers of Khorne

And entering the field of battle is the latest unit in my army, my scratchbuilt skullcrushers of khorne :)

 

Nurgle Chaos Spawn, how to represent the mark

in my chaos army i will be running 1 squad of nurgle marked chaos spawn as well as 1 squad of normal unmarked chaos spawn. was a bit worried about how i would mark the difference then i came up with this idea ;)

Beasty Boys

here are a few pics of some prototype daemon models i've been looking at cobbling together. top one is my bloodthirster and the bottom ones are what i might use as either daemon princes or nurgle plague drones ;)

 

Project Bloodthirster goes live

Looking at my chaos daemon prince of khorne and his cost of 255 points, i came to the conclusion that a bloodthirster will do the exact same thing for 250 points! so i will be scratchbuilding myself a bloodthirster of khorne. To that end, enter darryn, our mate who's decamped to finland, and his spare bits. Khorne's praise be on you mate, i will lay many skulls at khornes feet in your honour :)

silence is golden, but duct tape is silver :)

viva le finland! :)

Maulerfiends on the horizon

I have almost finished assembling my maulerfiends, still busy gluing the last pieces together. For now, here is their bases to go with the rest of the army basing theme

 

Magnetising your models bases, yes/no ?

Since the day i saw our one club member transport his models in a small box but with the bases magnetised so he could ride his bike to 40k i have toyed with the idea of magnetising my armies bases for easier storage/transport also. so here we are, dug out some plasticard, 2 part epoxy and the bunch of tiny 3mm x 1mm magnets i had stuck to my old fridge and started gluing :)
