Adepticon, Hobby Table, War Convocation, and X-wing League Update

It's finally happening!!! I get to go to Adepticon in 2016. This is something I've always wanted to do. I get to test my gaming prowess against the best of the best in the Warhammer 40k Championship Tournament and push my piloting skills to the limit in the X-wing 2 Day Tournament. Even though I'm still a novice, I may throw down in some Warmahordes Iron Gauntlet Tournaments. Now comes the hard part of picking army lists and getting them fully painted and ready to go.

My motivation seems to be pretty low lately for painting. I've still managed to eek out a few finished models here and there. I got my Biker Chaplain magnetized and painted for my Dark Angels/White Scars/Space Wolves Super Friends list. I painted up my Thunderfire Cannon just because it's a cool model and it was fun. And finally I finished my Sanguinary Priest and 5 more Scouts for my AdMech War Convocation/Blood Angels list. I even got a game in with them against Sisters of Battle/Space Wolf Super Friends.

Remembering all of the wargear, Canticles of the Omnissiah, and Skitarii Doctrine Imperatives can be challenging to say the least. This is an army that you have to play a LOT to become proficient with no doubt. It was a fun game and even though it was my first time trying it, I still won, although it was by a very slim margin. I love the army despite its learning curve and Im hoping that finishing my Super Friends army goes quickly so I can get this one painted.

My previous X-wing league ended and a new one has begun. I got third and took home some official Fantasy Flight Games evade tokens. This time around I've decided to alternate between Rebels and Imperials every session. This past week was Imperials. They are easily my weakest faction. I played Rebels pretty much exclusively until Scum and Villainy hit. I decided on an "Aces" build instead of the 2 ship builds that seem to be popular lately.

Soontir Fel — TIE Interceptor 27

• Push the Limit 3
• Autothrusters 2
• Stealth Device 3
• Royal Guard TIE 0

Ship Total: 35

"Echo" — TIE Phantom 30

• Veteran Instincts 1
• Advanced Cloaking Device 4

Ship Total: 35

Delta Squadron Pilot — TIE Defender 30

Ship Total: 30

While I don't think the list would win me any tournaments, I did well with it. Flying the Tie Phantom with Echo is an interesting experience for sure. My opponents rarely had any idea where I was going to end my movement with her. I'm looking forward to running this list or something similar again.

The Descent of Angels...

As we know, I have been working on a multitude of models for the past few weeks ranging from dreadnoughts to landraiders and various deathwing load out style terminators. Obviously there is a theme going on here... I will let you folks figure it out. Needless to say there is large, open, theme based Apocalypse game at my LGS. Of the Lonely Havocs crew, 3 of us(Cj "SeeJay" he also goes by Fun Dip , Andrew "The Law" , and Travis "Spazgar" ; all contributors to the blog) will be rolling in an all Space wolf team.
LEMAN BE PRAISED!!!

Should be pretty cool honestly to see a whole army of one codex. They will be receiving reinforcements from me in the form a Landraider squad with one of each codex variant and one Predator Assassination squad...SOMEONE WILL BE GETTING THE D!!!!

I know they will have one Shadowsword Super Heavy Tank, one Aquila Strong Point, some cool Forge World jazz including Sicaran Tank, Fire Raptor, Scorpius Whirlwind, and a Malcador. Plus at least 10 drops, friggin' wolves....

As for myself "The Fist", dan "Squoze" (check him out on reddit. He has his own sub reddit; MINI SWAP), Spencer "Slender", and Brandon "Beefy McArmcandy", will be running a combined force of Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Imperial Guard...or Astra Militarum...What an awful name, I'm just going to throw that out there. I hate it, they will forever be the guard and not this new garbage...anyways... and o uh dirty, mean Grey Knights. Not exactly the best theme but it makes sense that multiple factions would all receive the same distress call and rush to the Southern Front.

For my Teammates, I know for sure that we will have a Shadowsword as well, 1 Baneblade( my beautiful arctic camo master piece!!!), no less then a dozen Leman Russ tanks of various variants( say that 5 times fast!), 2k of jump pack marines variants, Deathwing, Ravenwing, Legendary Kaldor Draigo and his Paladins, 5 Storm Ravens, 4 Storm Talon, 1 Nephilim Jet Fighter and a Partridge in a Pear Tree... hehe

Here will be my list in detail( point values omitted as to avoid any kind of legal ramifications)

Star Hawks First Company,  60% fighting capacity(Planetary Defense Force Equivalent)
Deathwing Master (Belial count as, yet to be given a real name) w/ Sword of Silence
Termintaor Librarian Pskyer lvl 2 and Power field Generator
Terminator Chaplain w/ Power field Generator
Deathwing Command Squad w/ Apothecary, Champion, Plasma cannon, Pair of LC, Standard of Fortitude

5x Deathwing Knight w/ perfidious relic
Deathwing(venerable) Dreadnought w/ Power fist/Heavy Flamer, Assault Cannon, Drop Pod
Deathwing(venerable) Dreadnought w/ Power fist/Heavy Flamer, Plasma Cannon, Drop Pod
IronClad Dreadnought w/ Melta gun, Heavy flamer, 2 Hunter Killer Missiles, Drop Pod

5x Deathwing Terminators w/Plasma Cannon, Chain fist(love em!!!!), 2x TH/SS
5x Deathwing Terminators w/Heavy Flamer, Chain fist
5x Deathwing Terminators w/Heavy Flamer, Chain fist
5x Deathwing Terminators w/Assault Cannon, Chain fist
5x Deathwing Terminators w/Cyclone Missile Launcher, Chain fist
10x Deathwing Terminators w/2x Assault Cannon, 2x Chain fist, 5x TH/SS
10x Deathwing Terminators w/2x Cyclone Missile Launcher, 2x Chain Fist, 2x TH/SS

All 58 terminators and 3 dreadnoughts..that's right, 58 TERMINATORS!!!

The Leaders of the Deathwing Company, The Hunters of The Fallen, Judgment Incarnate, with combined experience of a hundred campaigns.

 

That roughly comes out to 4000 points...hoping I get to actually play 4k. Obviously the plan is to deep strike them on top of an objective and take it by force!
I know Ironclad aren't DA but I wanted another Dreadnought but I don't have another Venerable dreadnought modeled or painted appropriately and they are awesome!!!

Hopefully you guys think it is cool, I know I do. We plan to post about the aftermath so don't worry folks.

There are Fallen on this planet!

Finished my third,  and hopefully last, landraider, the redeemer specifically. They will work perfectly for the landraider swuad formation...how awful right?  I have slowly been moving away from my original paint job and did away with the sloppy striping. I think it looks much less like a 12 year is painting my models. This is the most up to date of my "deathwing" collection for my successor chapter. 5 more deathwing are currently wip. Hope i can run these all together one day

Even more terminators.!

As the title says, more terminators completed. These are all in preparation for my permanent apoc list along 53 other terminators and a baneblade. 5 more will be added afterwards if 6k is a possibility. Along with assorted vehicles. But these models were second hand so I'm happy how they turned out.

Since the picture was taken, I've added some basing and blood....FOR THE BLOOD GOD!... As well, just to look more brutal.

Heresy cometh....

Thanks to CJ and Brandon, I now have 47 deathwing terminators ready and painted for any apoc game with ten more on the way. I also now have this gorgeous forge world contemptor dreadnought.  It is probably my new favorite model, especially striding into battle behind these finished cataphractii terminators whom a liberal application of the recent citadel technical paint, blood for the blood god. It is definitely an appropriate effect for any army in the 40k universe.  Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

HORSE HERESY! WEESNAW!!

Cataphrachtii!!

Continual work on the lovely cataphrachtii terminators.  They have proved to be more of a hassle then I originally thought but they are getting there.  I'm not sure where to go with the "eyes", namely because they aren't really modeled, but I intend to use them as normal terminators as is (wysiwyg woooooo). The journey is almost over then move on to more deathwing because we all know I need more of those, plus my new relic contemptor dreadnought from Forge world!

Cataphractii Terminators are crazy

Started work on my Christmas cataphrachtii from good ol' cj. They have an obnoxious amount of heresy era detail and styling. The heads will be the only real issue.

BAT REP amendment

 Belial (Deathwing Masta ftw!!)
2 librarians, both took prescience for psychic powers

Tactical squad w/ storm bolter and missile launcher w/ flakk missiles

nephilim jet fighter (cause its a 75 dollar model that doesn't get used enough)

Battle Report! Dark Angels VS Daemons... woot woot!

Good morning. A few people have asked me why I haven’t done a battle report in a while, and I thought well shit, it has been a while... I guess sometimes Im so tied up in the game that I forget to take pics, so last night I got plenty of pics and even playtested a new mission to boot!
