How to make your very own Bluescribes!

Like half the shit in the Daemons codex, the fucking model for the Bluescribes doesnt even exist (YAY!). So heres a quick way to whip 1 up.

Ingredients

2 Pink Horrors (painted blue!)
1 terminator base
1 dreadnaught base
1 pack of Arcane Books from the WH Fantasy Bitz
Greenstuff


Working on finding some sort of funny hat for these two, which by the way the Bluescribes are pretty much an 'entertainment value' model. Much like The Masque... except the Bluescribes can join a squad.

WIll update this post as I construct the model.

2v2 tourney results for ROb and Bill

End Result 2 wins, 1 loss.
Both are the favorite opponents of the day for all 3 of their matches and had a perfect Sportsmanship score from all 3 games. Best Sportsmanship award. Rob wins a HQ in terminator armor and Bill wins a Champlain in Terminator armor blister packs.


1000 Pts each (rob fill out your list!)

Bill - Daemons

17 Daemonetts
10 Plaguebearers with Icon
9 horrors with CHangeling
2 squads of 4 Flamers of Tztencth
Soul Grinder


Rob - Space Wolves



Round One - CHaos Space Marines, Tyranids. 4 Objectives. 2-0 win for us. Time ran out and ended match.

Enemy gets first turn but Initiative is seized!! Well to start, these guys hadnt played in years prior to this game. WHen other people were doing combats and shooting they were still deploying. The Chaos player took a Greater Daemon and didnt take any seargeants (Greater Daemons need a Chaos Champion, Plague Champion etc to actually spawn). We let him take a Chaos Dreadnaught (changing his list mid tournament is actually not allowed but whatever). Which added to his 2 already dreadnaughts and 2 Defilers. The TYranid player had a pretty decent army, minus the suck gargolyes that kill a whoppin 2 or 3 Longfangs. All 3 CHaos Dreadnauhts did not Rage against its allies which is like winning the fucking lottery. One became fleet and tied up my squad of Horrors for most of the game. The two of them had no tactics and didnt really play all that agreeably with eachother. Not real sure if these guys were ready for TOurnaments in general. In the end, the Daemonettes and Rune Priest w/ Tactical Marines held our 2 and another one of Rob's squads contested their only troop-help objective.


Round Two - Ultramarines and Eldar. 1-0 capture and control match. Ended in turn 5

These two guys were actually pretty damn good. Clearly we havent been interpreting ALOT of shit in the ELdar codex correctly. Or playing the army to its max potential. The Eldar player was a little bit cocky personally, but we won the game so it was hard to let it bother us. The Ultramarines had a pretty good army. 5 man assault term squad, land raider, predator, drop pod with 5 Sternguard, A single scout bike (leftover points), i dunno he had other stuff I cant recall. They had good armies but for some reason focused on trying to kill everything on the board and never put any troops even remotely near their capture point. By turn 4 or 5 all Eldar transports were dead in the water, a last Dire Avenger squad tried to bolt on foot but were dwindled to 3 or 4 after a turn of shooting from Bill's Tzetntch daemons. In the end, Bill's plaguebearers and a small number of robs troops were holding our objective points while Flamers of Tztentch sat on the enemy capture point. Game ends on turn 5.

Round 3 - 2000 points of Orks - Kill Pts DAWN OF WAR! One unit is allowed to Outflank. Near wipeout for us. Got our asses handed to us.

How do I always get paired against 2000 pts of Orks? Damn it! Basically by turn 1 we were practically overrun by the Speed Freaks. These guys had a pretty devesdating army. Virtually no shooting at all. Lots of armor 14 wagons. The Ork players outflanked Gazkhull Thrakka w/ Boyz and rob outflanks his FLamer Tact Marine squad in Rhino. Not much to explain about this game. we lost, fuckin bad! These guys won first place after beating us, leaving us in 2nd place.

Overall the best tourney for me so far. Rob enjoyed himself. Learned stuff, got free shit. No bad opponents or arguments between us and our opponents. Good times. Rob if theres anything you see that I missed, fix it!

Heresy, plain and simple...

Space Wolves cohort with Daemons and the Dark Angels find allies in the Tau? This is madness...

Anywho, here are the details from this past Friday's 2v2 match, a trial run for Bill and Rob's tournament next month.

2000 points (1000 from each player)

Dawn of War

Kill Points

Outcome: 5 to 3 Team Burnt Hand (on account of tournament time being up - I believe it was turn 5).

Team Burnt Hand

Tau Army List

HQ, Bunch o' suits, some floaty tanks, and a handful of funny little gray men. Mike will have to elaborate because the air in that room had me not paying much attention.

Dark Angel Army List

5 Deathwing Terminators with a CML

2 x 10 Man Tactical sqauds (one with plasma, one with melta) + Rhinos

10 Man Devastators, 2 ML, 2 PC

Team Horrible Rolling

Daemon Army List

2 Chariots

2 squads of 3 Flamers each

Mob of Deamonettes (not sure on the exact number)

10 (or 12) Plaugebearers

Soul Grinder

Space Wolf Army List

2 Runepriests

2 Sqauds of 10 Grey Hunters with all the fixins (Mark of Wolfen and such), in Rhinos

A slew of Long Fangs with enough fire power to level a mountain yet could not hit the broadside of a broadside

Synoposis

Team BH goes first, choosing not to deploy anything. Team Bad Rolling does the same. Most of both sides armies, excluding the deep striking daemons and Terminators held in reserve, walk on first turn. In the first turn the Plasma cannon wielding Dark Angels do a bit of running to get into position with the bunker (seen below in the 2nd picture). No targets bring the bottom of the first.

Bunch of Wolves walk on and their Long Fangs grab cover in another bunker. A unit of Plaguebearers plops down midfield. Flamers, Chariot and Soul Grinder come in on strong side seen below. I believe runs made for a quick bottom of turn 1 as well as position was more critical than drawing first blood.

Turn 2, Terminators walk in behind Rhinos to grab cover, CML Terminator takes point to throw some missiles at the advancing Soul Grinder with no effect. Combined Devastator an Tau shooting widdles down some Plaguebearers as well as knocks a weapon off Mr. Grinder.

Bottom of 2 has Daemons closing in on the Dark Angel lines. A second chariot deep strikes within striking distance.

I spend quite a bit of time arranging dice.

Turn 3, Dark Angels move 12 in an attempt to sling some melta into Mr. Grinder... unfortunately, you just can't shoot molten hot gas at that speed.

The Tau manage to blow up the advancing Rhino seen below. Big boon, slowing Runepriest and his Space Barbarian brethren.

The Tau guns make up for the Dark Angels mistake by rendering Mr. Grinder immobilized and effectively a KP.

Dark Angels rapid fire Chariot #2 to death.

In turns 3-4, A squad of flamers is wiped out before the other squad melts the face of Dark Angel Tactical Sqaud 1, sending them falling back off the board. A Rhino is scuttled by Long Fang fire. Combined Tau and Devastator fire thinned the late showing Daemonettes down to one. Runepriest had little luck with his spells as well. The 2nd tactical squad squares up and sends some shots into the flamers than charge them along with the nearby Chariot. The Chariot holds on and the Dark Angels are counter charged by Grey Hunters and their Runepriest.

We finish the turn with the set tournament time running out and call the game at 5-3, Team BH. I think I got that mostly right...

KP Tally

Team BH

Soul Grinder, 2x Flamers, Chariot, Rhino

Team Bad Rolling

2x Rhinos, Tactical Marines

Funny thing is, in the photo below, I'm pretty sure I wasn't saying anything like "we're number one" but rather "Chris stop taking friggin' pictures of me."

Upcoming game - Chaos Daemons versus Dark Eldar 2000 pts

Oh right.. I forgot there's an army that can hit at the same times as me (and also has to pay a shitload of points to actually get ranged power... and only have 5+ saves).

Might play Thursday if I'm able (getting route canal done). If not, sometime next week. I had fun my last game but I definitely think this matchup will be more straight forward, mostly due to the fact that by turn 2 we both will want to blow our loads (and this time not on Robs back). Aside from the normal breaks we take, this game will go pretty quickly I'd imagine.



FINAL SCORE: 10-7 Mike wins

Daemons vs Eldar Test Game - 1500 pts

End Result: Test game called in End of Turn 4. Eldar wins 2-1 and get their temporary Revenge against the daemons of Chaos. Game time about 3 1/2 hours.
