Tabletop Warhammer?

aceytrixx · 14 Dec 2013 at 08:33

Started work on my table today and ran out of spray paint....I can't drive because of my arm and it seems everyone I could get a lift off is hungover. Needing it painted to stick down the surface I have to use it tonight. Hopefully I can find a way to get some black paint this morning so I can get cracking.

Damn, those new Tyranids look great, as do the recently-released Dark Elves.

So on my Sunday game I faced off against my friend who's learning tau on my new table. Was a good game and we both learned a lot about tau. The Tau I've been facing in town are all crisis suit armies so was pretty good seeing how much heavy flamers just destroy tau infantry. He didn't deep strike farsight but he will be in the future as I managed to take out the squad with my centurions and raider before they did anything.

Think we are making a day of it on Saturday to get a couple games in. Definitely want to get my new list built now which I've also got two expansion plans for 2k one with and one without flyers. The without flyers list probably looks more fun as it goes to 9 pods and adds legion.

Do you think these could be used as Chaos daemonettes? They actually look more like the early daemonettes from around 2002?

i would say so, good looking mini's.

It's pretty clear they took some cues from the Diaz sculpts. Hard to tell from the pics but they might look a bit small next to current GW models, but do look very nice. I'd say go for it.

Do any of you guys play Warhammer, or just 40k?

I'm thinking of a Skaven or Beastmen horde. Possibly Ogres. Something nasty either way

I've often Thought about a fantasy army a shop local to me has a couple GW products and if they have the fantasy box cheap again I might pick it up and paint some high elves and Skaven

I am looking to start a small Bretonnian Knights army, I know they are not the greatest right now but I just like the models

Currently working on a daemons of chaos army for warhammer fantasy.

herald of nurgle

blood crushers

Still have a herald of khorne on jugger to add to the blood crusher unit. Will be adding the other chaos gods to the army in the future, but at the moment I'm just working away on my 1500 khorne/nurgle list

Saw these this morning

Going to have to get some as these are better for normal marines than the current ones that have all the Drakescale. Mark iv should look fine on normal models I'd imagine

Very nice mate. Particularly like the Nurgle Herald.

Had an early Christmas with the girlfriends parents and finally got a copy of csm codex so have given it a proper read. Anyone up for a game soon? Got an idea or two I want to try out.

1500 or 2000 points.

I'm always up for a game either points value is fine

Let's live on the edge and go for 2k

I have an experimental (for me) list in mind so hopefully give you a good game and not a complete flop of my forces. I am not free this side of Christmas but should have plenty of free time come the new year. Maybe a night or two between Christmas and new year.

aceytrixx · 21 Dec 2013 at 16:32

Haha sounds good. Just let me know a couple days before hand but I should be free most of the time

Cheers, Nurgle units are done with shades over a white undercoat for the skin, plenty of blood for the blood god & nurgles rot in the open wounds

I really dislike playing against Farsight bomb....

Shamikebab · 22 Dec 2013 at 22:53

I dislike any deathstar, they should be removed from the game frankly.

aceytrixx · 23 Dec 2013 at 06:42

Sadly it will be a regular opponent for me So I'm going to have to start dealing with it as best I can
