Moving on & looking ahead

I've been trying to stay off this subject for quiet some time because A: I didn't want to talk about it, and B: I didn't see a reason to talk about it. Lately, however, this subject has affected me and has put me off doing write ups of my games and list at the UK GT Heat 5 in Stockport. An event which I was really excited to go to as it was my first ETC event.

Anyway, I left a Chaos Space Marine group called "Favoured of Chaos" until a few weeks after the tournament because of the conflict between myself and some of the Admin and group members.

Basically, in every game I fished for Invisibility first as that was the most important power to keep me on the board. In 3 games I missed getting invisibility as a power and in them 3 games I was tabled, after making a remark on the group somewhere along the lines of "Rolled 9 times on telepathy, not one invis, roll on next psychic tree gets a 5." Some replies were understanding and humorous 'that's pretty shit, GG'  or 'Ebay's good to sell your stuff' and some definitely were not.

Traitors Hate: Maelstrom of Gore & Core choice round up.

Traitors Hate has received quiet a lot of the "Oh, it's another Khorne book" from some Chaos Marine players, probably because Kharn is on the front, Kharn and Bezerkers are in the fluff and there is a formation for them. Oddly enough, it couldn't be further from a Khorne book. With 12 universal formations VS 2 Khorne specific formations and 4 new psychic power disciplines there isn't that much flakes to be had. Sorry, but the pun had to be done. This quick post will probably be doing the usual and bashing this formation, because it has Bezerkers in it.

Been busy, sneak peek!

Starting 2016 I have been very busy, between battling being ill and planning a wedding I have gotten out of sync with my posts. Recently I have bought myself some army upgrades and I have converted some pieces too.

Also, I am working on my 'none-forgeworld' competitive list as many tournaments don't allow them, which does suck for me, but I need to adapt to the field. One of the fellows down at Dice and Daggers is wanting to start out playing in tournaments too, so this list should be good practice for both of us.

This it what I've come up with:

Lord of War Review: Fellblade Super-Heavy Tank

The Chaos Fellblade Super-Heavy Review:

Choas Lord of War Review: Typhon Heavy Siege Tank

Chaos Typhon Heavy Siege Tank Review

The Martyr Vengeance Battery Review

I've stayed away from reviewing units for a while as my thoughts on certain units might not be that great. I'm not a top player by far, and I have certain ideas on how the CSM codex and it's counter parts should run and be used within games and it probably isn't a good view anyway. I do have this idea that I metaphorically hit you with a good idea once in a while and it ups your game then every one is happy, but your opponents become a little more sour. So to bring myself back to Reviews - probably best to call it a point of view review - let's start with a Vengeance... Battery.

Land Raider Proteus: OAP Raider need new home

Been chilling around lately, reading up on my Forge World stuffs to bring you guys some better reviews as some feedback I received about the Sicaran said I could of been a little more detailed. So here we go, The Land Raider Proteus, the eldest and oldest of all the Land Raiders, even before the Raider we all loath and hate that sits in our own codex, so on to the alternatives!

Sicaran Battle Tank: The sexy looking one

Hello everyone, sat here in my work uniform with my laptop on my knee, which is really really hot by the way at 00:18 AM time according to my clocks, so that means its the best time to start talking about the Sexy looking Sicaran Battle Tank surely?

Gaming Booth Reviews: Space Marine

Greetings gamers, I am taking some time out of blogging about 40K as this is also a gaming blog, so you would expect me to talk about some games at some point. So I thought I would start off at the middle ground by reviewing a game that is also 40K.

Pets at Home: Cute Animals and Terrain Pieces

Whilst out shopping, me and my girlfriend popped into Pets at Home to have a look at all the fluffy animals. They were all very, very cute. However, around the Aquarium section of the store these little beauties caught my eye. If you want some form of monument for your brand new Blood Thirster then look no further a mere £12 can get you these;

The Tyranid Swarms VS Chaotic Artillery: 1850 Battle Report at Dice and Daggers

Lately I have been having a good old sort of all my Warhammer, at the moment I am selling my Tyranids off because I want to focus on my Chaos Marines and I have many many things I need to buy for them to get my list 100% and not all Proxy. I also started bidding on ebay for some Chimera's, which I luckily won the bid to for a nice deal. They will hopefully be getting here within a few days time. However, Bat Rep Time!

How To: Chaos Space Marine Tactics, Threat Bubbles and Pushing Up the Board

Lately I have been working on tactics with my Chaos Space Marines army, and I would like to share the basics with anyone interested in this type of game play. This tactic is based around UK meta and how Chaos Marines work, so this may vary for other countries depending on what you face.

Chaos Renegade Arillery Converstion: Quad mortars complete!

Taking a small break from posting bat reps and playing games I have decided to try and get my army look more like it holds official models and not Proxies on everything. I also have decided what is going to be changed in my army list concerning my troops choices to be more effective in the field, hopefully they will bear fruit to my hard work and many victories will arise. Also before I get in depth about my Artillery I am happy to announce that I am going to restart and revamp my You tube Warhammer videos concentrating on Chaos Space Marines in the UK and how they hold up against other lists. But for now, lets look at some very nice models.

How to Chaos Better: Chaos Spawn VS Thunder Cav 1850 points battle report at Dice and Daggers

Since the battle which from now on I shall refer to as the "Serpent Spam incident" I mulled over my units and decided I needed to make some drastic list changes. So I put the Helblades to rest concluding that they are paper cannons (Can do a lot of damage, but die if someone sneezes on them) and replaced them with an extra unit of 5 Nurgle Spawn. I also decided to mount my warlord sorcerer on a bike to allow more maneuverability. Looking back on my previous game the spawn did really well considering I didn't know what the Wraith Guard weapons did, but you live on and learn.

This game has considerable alterations in how I worked my army and what tactics I used, especially playing Thunder Cav, drop pod space wolfs for the first time in 7th edition. This was a good game.
