Just some shots, the two styles are about 3+ weeks apart so you may notice differences.

For the rest of the Shooting phase any other friendly unit that fires at the illuminated target does not use the Night Fighting special rule.

War Games Terrain, Asteroids, and More

Friday, 4 December 2009 21:21 by adron

This is a video from www.miniwargaming.com.  This crew puts together some great videos and such for model war gaming.  Really impressive.  If you want to check out more, hit up their site.  They also have some decent deals on 40k and other models also.  More on my army, the Aurora Chapter coming soon.

Warhammer 40k Armies

Monday, 7 September 2009 16:21 by Adron

So I’ve got enough for a 1250+pt army.  This is how I’ve broken things out so far.

The base Black Reach Army:  575 pts

Class Unit Points
HQ Space Marine Captain 100
  Bolt Gun  
  Power Sword  
     
Troop Tactical Marine Squad 90
  Sergeant - Power Sword  
  9 Space Marines 80
     
Elite Terminator Squad 200
  Sergeant - Storm Bolters + Power Sword  
  4 Terminators - Storm Bolters - Power Fists  
     
Elite Dreadnought 105
  Multi Melta  
  CC Weapon  
    575

The base army:  1000 pts

Class Unit Points
HQ Space Marine Captain 100
  Bolt Gun  
  Power Sword  
     
Troop 1 Tactical Marine Squad 90
  Sergeant - Power Sword  
  9 Space Marines 80
  + Flamer  
  + multi melta gun  
Troop 1 Transport Rhino 35
     
Troop 2 Scout Squad 75
  Sergeat Telion 50
  4 Scouts  
  + Sniper Rifle x4  
  + Missile Launcher 10
     
Elite Terminator Assault Squad 200
  Sergeant - Storm Bolters + Power Sword  
  4 Terminators - Storm Bolters - Power Fists  
  + Chainfist 5
Heavy Land Raider Redeemer 240
  + Multi Melta 10
     
Elite Dreadnought 105
  Multi Melta  
  CC Weapon  
    1000

The base + extended armor:  1250 pts

Class Unit Points
HQ Space Marine Captain 100
  Bolt Gun  
  Power Sword  
     
Troop 1 Tactical Marine Squad 90
  Sergeant - Power Sword  
  9 Space Marines 80
  + Flamer  
  + multi melta gun  
Troop 1 Transport Rhino 35
     
Troop 2 Scout Squad 75
  Sergeat Telion 50
  4 Scouts  
  + Sniper Rifle x4  
  + Missile Launcher 10
     
Elite Terminator Assault Squad 200
  Sergeant - Storm Bolters + Power Sword  
  4 Terminators - Storm Bolters - Power Fists  
  + Chainfist 5
Heavy Land Raider Redeemer 240
  + Multi Melta 10
     
Elite Dreadnought 105
  Multi Melta  
  CC Weapon  
     
Heavy Support Space Sergeant Chronus 70
Heavy Support Predator 60
  Twin Lascannon 45
  Side Lascannons 60
  Hunter Killer Missile 10
     
    1245

 

Now the question is, what to extend my force to the 1500 pt army?  I did purchase 10 metal assault marines (w/ jet packs and all), but am not sure I want to extend the forces to 1500 with them.  What I am thinking of is adding the following to my primary 1245 list above.

Elite Devestator Squad 90
  Multi-Melta 15
  Sergeant w/ Metla Bombs 5
Transport Razorback 40
     
Heavy Support Predator 60
  Twin Lascannon 45
     

I however feel somewhat inclined to add an HQ Unit, but the temptation to add more heavy weaponry and such seems more valuable instead of high point individual units.  The Predator with twin Lascannon and the remaining regular armament seem more valuable than a strong HQ character.  Added that I have enough remaining points to pick up the Devestator Squad with Multi-Melta & Melta Bombs for the sergeant with a Razorback makes my armies mechanized assault capabilities pretty serious.

Any other suggestions or ideas fellow combatants?

Getting Closer to War

Saturday, 29 August 2009 14:12 by adron

I have the first unit of the ground troops finished finally.  Of course, this unit is about 98% like the Dreadnought I posted a while back.

 

Next step is to apply a second wash, and kick out those other tactical marines ready for combat.

Dreadnought

Monday, 17 August 2009 00:19 by Adron

I’ve started toward the build of a Warhammer 40k Aurora Chapter Space Marines Army.  This is my first model.  Still a little work I’d like to do, but it is the start.  I now have a few dozen to build and paint before my first army is mobilized.
