Nidzilla Vs Unbeaten Blood Angels Army! (2k BatRep)

Nick speaking,

So, after losing to my buddies new Blood Angels list with my Space Wolves and Necrons, it was time to send in the Tyranids! I didn't want to tailor my army to beat his, so I found one of my old Nidzilla lists I had in my Codex and played that, but how will I get on?

Armies on Parade 2016 Thoughts

Nick speaking,

As I nearly finish my 13th Long Fangs, I am looking toward the end of the year and to this years Armies on Parade...

I wanted to enter my Space Wolves last year, but I just didn't get enough time to make a display board for them. So this year I am planning it well in advance in hope that I can be ready for the competition this time round. Space Wolves will be the army on show, but coming up with a suitable display board is what I need to think about. I don't want the board to take up too much of my hobby time, but then on the other hand, I know how important a decent display board is. Lots of planning will be needed, let me know if you have any ideas!

Nearly finished the 13th Company Long Fangs, just need to highlight the grey and black and then do the weathering. Really happy with the pink and freehand, they are starting to look the part now...

The Webways are Opening! #7 Phase Two Begins!

Nick speaking,

Time to work on Phase Two of my new Dark Eldar army that I am doing for the £25.00 Army Challenge. I managed to get twelve hundred points with the first twenty five pounds, which was pretty impressive, but was only done with the help of some very generous donations. So what can I do with the second £25?

Well, my first purchase was this little lot from eBay and all for a mere £6.94! Sounds good right, but that only leaves me with £18.06, and my aim is to get to 2k points, so the challenge is definitely on! Still, it's a good start...

Necrons Vs Blood Angels (1850pt WH40k BatRep)

Nick speaking,

Time for me to have some fun with my Necrons against my buddies new Blood Angels list. I didn't want to make a list specifically to beat his new and best list for a long time, so I decided to get the list out that I used against Aceface in our practice LVO game...

The Webways are Opening! #6 Phase One Complete!

Nick speaking,

Time to show off everything that I managed to get for the £25.00 Army Challenge that I have been doing. The aim of the Challenge was to make a five hundred point army for twenty five pounds, and I think it's safe to say, that with some help from some very generous friends, I totally smashed that! So how many points did I get for my money? Well, in the end I managed to obtain twelve hundred points of Dark Eldar for exactly twenty five pounds!

More pictures and an army list coming up, but first a chat about what is next! Phase Two of the challenge is to get to one thousand points for another £25.00, but as I am there already, I figured I would attempt to get to two thousand instead, so that's another eight hundred points. It's going to be tough, and I may not get there, but it's going to be fun trying. Anyway, here is the list, not exactly competitive and lacking in anti tank guns, but that is what I am going to work on in Phase Two...

Phase One Army List 1200pts

1 x Archon/Blaster/Husk Blade/Webway/Shadow Field (175)

TROOPS

ELITES
15 x Bloodbride Wyches/3x Pairs Hydra Gauntlets (210)

Points 1200

The Archon will join the Bloodbrides and use the Webway Portal to teleport in from reserve as the rest of the army charges in, sounds like fun to me, but of course there is a lot more work to be done before I can try it out on the table...

The Year of the Wolf (22)

Nick speaking,

So, after my bad loss with the army the other day, lets crack on with my much needed long range support, the Long Fangs! I am really enjoying painting these minis so far, there is still lots to do, but that's the washes all done and I have highlighted the silver, gold, bone and most of the leather sections...

Terrain Square Competition 2016 Results!

Nick speaking,

Once again the standard for this years Terrain Square Competition was incredibly high, and with the added twist of the terrain pieces not being on a base with straight edges and corners made for some very inspirational pieces. This of course made my job of picking the winner very hard, but out of the nineteen entries I had to come up with a top three, and that is what I did. If you want to check out all the entries for yourself, I have a playlist on my homepage where you can see all the awesome pieces of terrain.

Right, lets take a look at the top three in reverse order...

Third Place: Spunge Hammer and his Bridge Scene

Second Place: FearDaAlien and his Skull Temple

First Place and this years Terrain Square Champion: ta24u and his Alpha Base Zero

Well done to everyone for all their hard work, I hope it was a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing what awesome pieces of terrain we will get in next years Terrain Square Competition in March and of course, there will be a new twist!
