Tabletop Warhammer?

Chaos Daemons are rarely played, but once you have mastered the army They can be exceptionally hard to beat, due to the fact none of the army starts on the board, ALL of it deepstrikes in. Also the fact that every unit has an invulrable save is great when playing against marines. I personally dont play but a guy at my local club does, he beat me twice in a row then lost due to very unlucky deep strike scatter rolls and unlucky deepstrike mishap results.

They are great fun by the looks of things though!

Yeah, I hadn't seen a lot of Daemons being played, and I thought with the re-release of the Grey Knights I'd bring one back for the Daemon team! I do like the fact they come in on deepstrike, and their invulnerability saves.

Choas daemons can be very fun (flamers are truly fun against the likes of Sisters, and Imp Guard), especially as everything has an invulnerable save (as well as some getting normal saves).
The downside is that they are I think tricky to play with a lot of special rules.


The Masque of Slanaash is a great character if you're fighting Marines, especially marines who like their CC dreadnaughts...(you can get them to "dance" in any direction you want as they have legs).

I do like flamers, will definitely be making sure I include some!

That Masque does indeed look like a great character, might have to consider it for an HQ choice. I have heard that you are allowed two Heralds for one HQ slot, which is useful, more awesome HQ characters on the field. The Masque may have to be one of them!
 
Aye, from memory (it's been a while since I played them), Chaos has two levels of HQ, you've got the big guys - Daemon Princes and the like who count as a HQ choice each, and the Heralds like the Masque and Epidermis who are half a HQ :)


What I've now got to paint for my Tau...(I've not included the dozen Kroot hounds that are buried somewhere).

The boxes on the right have 6x Stealth suits, and the arms/heads for the crisis suits and gun drone weapons.

I've not got the Suits new weapons ready for painting yet, as I've already got a fairly large number magnetised and painted (I've got about 5 or 6 suits already, each with a full set of magnetised weapons).
 
I remember playing WH40k about 20 years ago maybe a few years longer. Not sure what edition it was but it was very early. Had myself a massive Marine army with Dreadnaughts, Predators etc. Bet the figure count was in the 200+. All painted to a high spec in the colours of the Space Wolves Chapter including a very detailed lead/tin Leman Russ. I used to play in the Derby shop and also with my cousin and some friends. We all used to have nicknames during playing and mine was 'Anorexic myopic hobbit' I was skinny, curly long hair, wore glasses and hairy feet for a young teenager.

Good times. I might even pop into the shop on Friday to have a mooch.
 
Yeah there is one place in luton but it is held in a strip club (no joke ) and i don't think my gf would be happy about that lol.

But i will go in there when i got a few 40k models painted i just got to finish up the the few a fantasy models then covert the rest into 40k :D

Cheers.
 
I've got a Necron army but lost the will to play a while back. A combo of 'even more warriors to paint' (Though then again must be worse for IG's), and 5th edition blues. Here's hoping the new codex (Due 2013?) will get me back into it.
I was also planning on DIYing some pariahs, because despite the lack of we'll be back, they're so damn awesome! Forces your opponent to either waste all their shots on them, meaning the rest of the army advances safely, or they ignore the pariahs and get completely destroyed. But they're only available in metal, and its something like £7 a model :(

That brings a whole new set of connotations to paint stripping...

lol yeah.

I don't think it work out very well if i said to my gf baby i am off to a strip club to paint some models lol.

She will probs slap or some thing :(

I wonder if they got dancers on while you are painting as it mite be a bit hard to concentrate :D
 
Getting back into this, bought Dark Eldar codex, and some Mandrakes, and Scourges. Waiting for the battleforce to come out and then I can grab that and a HQ and start to play again.

According to the rumours necrons will be October 2011, but i take that with a pinch of salt. As for Pariahs i dont bother with them due to the lack of WBB but apart from that they look awesome to try out, i converted immortals and flayed oens from warriors, so maybe something similar could be done with Pariahs?

The lack of WBB was that big problem with them, but like I said, that makes them huge targets, and that means people not shooting at the main army. And if they do ignore them, the warscythe just kills anything it touches. Scarabs are also good, though mainly just for locking squads into close combat for most of the game.
 
I don't know if this is a bad idea but i don't think i would ever get the time to play the game itself so i was thinking now instead of building just one army i will just buy what ever looks good (WHF or 40k) and just paint them :)

But i got about 25 or so orcs +1 metal dwarf to do yet before i can even think about buying anymore lol.


I wanted to do some more tonight but i can't even feel my arms after the gardening i have done today :(
