Batrep: 1850 of Ultramarines vs Hivefleet Leviathan

Fresh off the defeat to Marshall in the previous game I am back for another. This time I rushed out my Tyrannocytes but I still have some work to do on them. Washing them is quite difficult owing to their size forcing me to slap that wash in one go where possible. Hivefleet Kraken (belongs to the store) sent 2 Crones to help. This is my list:

I was one of the few lucky ones to snag a copy of this really beautifully produced book at my LGS and I am glad I put the deposit down for it. It is beautiful. Embossed, it reeked of quality. 

Fluff more than rules. I enjoyed every bit of it

Batrep 1850 Points: Hivefleet Leviathan vs Ultramarines

Not the usual quality of batreps I am used to but this will suffice. Primarily due to my army being in bits and pieces as I am preparing them. I am playing Hivefleet Leviathan today and my opponent will be bringing Ultramarines.

Tyrannocyte

Went down to Titan on Monday to pick my Tyrannocyte and WD up. Couldn't wait hence I broke it open. Man this kit is detailed and has many repetitive steps due to it's 5 sided style. 

Toxicrene and Maleceptor Completed

The greenstuff has cured and I thought I would share it you guys (especially Greg Hess and Rico Chia). I think this kit was designed to be magnetized if you just figure it out. Now I am glad I did it because I am sure one day the Maleceptor will become viable and I want to have the option to switch without going out and getting another kit.

Toxicrene and Maleceptor - Magnetized

Popped into Titan yesterday to pick up my White Dwarf and then it rained. Had some spare time to kill so picked up the Toxicrene kit. Not knowing which to build, I read the WD and decided to build both! 

While I plan to use the Toxicrene more owing to the new Pods incoming next week (which I ordered 3), I wanted to have the flexibility of using the Maleceptor too. 

Build the main body but kept the head apart.

Breaking News: 3 in 1 Drop-Pod Kit for Leviathan Sporocyst / Mucolid / Tyrannocyte

More Tyranid leaks spotted. Following on from the post I made yesterday, looks like the drop-pod or null deployment for Tyranids is back! November is going to be an amazing month.

Breaking News: Tyrannocyte Spotted!

Spotted this on the interwebs and man it got me excited! Time to break out the Leviathan army which has been hibernating in the Warp. Ommmnoommm nommmm

War arrives

My Altansar Eldar take on Marshall's Hive Fleet Behemoth again. Marshall changed bits of his army from the previous game by removing the Raveners and replacing them with Genestealers.
