6th edition list revision... We go back for a little more turkey

Well, my hobby mojo is still flowing... I'm still doing stuff :D

Slowly, but progress. Though I feel it might take a hit in the near future. I had taken myself away to the man cave for a little painting time - when my daughter started crying like a loon - she's caught a nasty cold and cough from nursery. I feel there will be more of this to come.

So whilst I've been struggling to get much time in the garage I have been considering my army list, which seems to have been hit by 6th Edition. I've been chatting quite a bit with Tim from The Vanus Temple about my list. He's also still fairly green with 6th, but he's had more games of it than me and he's always been generally quite good with army lists anyway.

Time to Talk Turkey - Army list!

So I've posted pics of Logan's new wolf wing, no it's time we sat round the table, grab a goblet of ale and talk turkey... What is this berk on about I here you all ask. The army list of course. First things first the image is from The emperor watches and used without permission. I'm such a bad lad!

Anyway enough of this rubbish here's the army list and those that know me and have played against my old wolf wing will know this is a different route for me:

HQ Units

Logan Grimnar - 275pts
All his usual jazz

Rune Priest - 150pts
TDA, Storm Bolter, Runic Weapon, Chooser of the Slain, wolf Tooth Necklace and saga of the beast slayer
Powers: Jaws of the World Wolf, Living Lightning



Elites

Dreadnought - 165pts
Multi melta, close combat weapon, heavy flamer, extra armour, drop pod

Dreadnought - 165pts
Multi melta, close combat weapon, heavy flamer, extra armour, drop pod

Troops

Wolf Guard Squad 1
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield - 63pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Storm Bolter, Power Weapon - 33 pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Combi-Melta, Power Fist 48pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Storm Bolter, Power Fist - 43pts
Drop pod 35pts
Total 222pts

Wolf guard squad 2
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Cyclone Missile Launcher, Storm Bolter, Power Fist - 73pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Storm Bolter, Power Weapon - 33pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Storm Bolter, Chain Fist - 48pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Storm Shield, Power Weapon - 48pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Combi-Melta, Power Weapon - 38pts
Drop pod - 33pts
Total 275pts

Wolf guard squad 3
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Assault Cannon, Power Fist - 73pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Storm Bolter, Power Weapon - 33pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Combi-Melta, Chain Fist - 53pts
1 Wolf Guard Terminator, Storm Shield, Power Weapon - 48pts
Drop pod - 35pts
Total 242pts

The aim is for Logan to join wolf guard squad 1 and the rune priest wolf guard squad 3 (hence only 4 in each squad).

I think the force is fairly strong for a Logan list which is inherently weak due to small numbers. I have a mix of anti tank and some anti infantry with the massed storm bolters.

Using the drop pod assault rules, I'd deploy Logan and the two dreads first on the first turn and try to land near enough to something that I might just be able to pop something nasty with the multi melts.

It's not a particularly competitive list, but I hope it fairs a little better than my last double land raider wolf wing list.

Gaming weekend

So I have a gaming weekend coming up... or at least a gaming day drinking night and possible gaming morning...

I have my freshly painted realm of battle board... pics to come, my menoth army for warmachine ready (starter set) and my Elysian army 1500pts per my previous post I'm having to proxy to of the tauros venators with tauros... but I know the guys won't mind :D



I also picked up this week a new pack of elysian troopers and the elysian hq command set. Interestingly I think they made a boob with so e of the content, as I received two copies of a few of the sprues. This may be intentional... but I'm unsure, maybe someone else has had the same with this pack?

Hopefully by the end of the weekend, ill have managed to have tested my army and find any weaknesses that might be there.. such as the loss of the vulture!

In addition I have seen I missed some comments made on some previous posts that had been marked for moderation for some reason. so if I have not replied, I'm sorry and if there was a specific question, I will come round and answer them all in a single post for ease! :)

1500pts Elysians IA8

So I've not done an army list on here before, but I though I'd post this up and source some critique on it before I go too far with buying more elysians.

Where the have I been...

Wowser it's been far too long since I last posted! In fact I was on a strange mission to re-learnt paint. What's worse the results looked turd!

However it did teach me to be more careful with my painting and that I desperately needed glasses and a magnifier for painting. Since the escapades of the ultra smurfs... That results in 3 part painted minis, I jumped at the GKs as a force to try and make look fantastic... Dare I say, aiming to trophy status...

The GK are progressing and I'll take pics soon. The elysians are still my "love" force and I plan to kick start them soon enough.

However, the past 2 weeks I've been re-fitting my hobby zone (garage as the wife has banished me... Who am I kidding, I love it!). I've built myself a proper work bench that's solid enough for a fat bloke like me to stand on! It's not finished quite yet. I need to relocate my amp and get myself a/some display cabinets.

I've also chopped up my gaming board and turned it into shelves... With left over sheet material for other projects. Again, it's not the end of the world as I have my realms of battle board to texture and paint.

So many projects and so little time... Harumph!

Well I plan to get some pod sorted of a few things so that I can keep you guys posted of everything that's been done... And to be done.

Until then...
