Scratch Built Warhound Titan Part 2

This is the final version of my scratch built Warhound project. It looked decent enough for any Apoc games and well, I think it was not bad for my first tryout. I've identified few areas that can be improved in future projects especially in the leg joints and weaponry. I'm planning to build 2 more by the end of this year and maybe, just maybe a Reaver Titan. They will all belong to the Legio Ignatum and part of my support unit for my Cadian 7th Battle Group.

Scratch Built Warhound Titan

Happy New Year everyone! The title says it all. Yep, a scratch built titan! I was cleaning up my lap top for trash files and I found out that I've a blueprint cutout to build a Lucius Pattern Warhound. So why not start the new year by building this titan. I have other projects in the pipeline including a Cadian 7th Armored Company but I'll start with the titan for now. Like most scratch build models, you just need the basics; A4 cardboard paper, PVA glue, scissors, spare sprues and patience.

Its pretty easy building it and the only hard part was waiting for the glue to dry up which can be time consuming. First, I printed the cutout on the A4 cardboard paper, cut it out and ready for assembly.

I started the assembly process parts by parts and I started off with the titan foot, shin and leg.





The second phase were assembling the warhound's waist and leg brace.



The final phase, assembling the body, hull, head and titan weapons. You can fit the warhound with 2 weapons from 4 weapon selections, I choose the Turbo Laser Destructor and Vulcan Mega Bolter





I haven't decided on the color scheme for the warhound but I primed it nonetheless with Tamiya Luftwaffe Grey Violet spray.



That's about it folks. It took me 2 days to finish the assembly but seriously it wasn't that hard and it cost me dirt to build it lol! I've shared the PDF file on Scribd, check out this link DIY Warhound Template. I would like to thank JSV (dunno his full name) for the template and finally always support Games Workshop and its affiliates. May the new year brings more bloodshed in the 41st millennium! For the Emperor!

For Cadia, For the Emperor! Part 1

A slight deviation from my VC progress. All this while I've been talking about my Cadian 7th and their exploits but never really showcase any of the models except a few pictures from various blog posts. My army list was based on the Mechanised Battalion regime, meaning usage of Veteran troops in Chimeras supported by Leman Russ tanks and Vendetta air support. For this part I will show the vehicles portion of the Cadian 7th. Well to all of you IG nutters, here goes.

Cadian 7th Mechanised Batallion










Well that's it folks. The next posting will feature the Cadian 7th command and it's troops. Laters..

New Blog Layout

Hopefully with the new Slaanesh Prince blog layout, I will blog more often (wishful thinking..)Ok, I've added a few stuffs to the blog, you would notice the chat box on the right side of the blog page. That's rite, just key in your name, message and click 'shout'. Maybe easier to chat with my fellow bloggers rather than comment at the post page. Also I've added a visitor tracker so I'll know who visited the blog from where and when ever.

Most of you would know I'm in Bangkok now, and will be here for quite some time. I'm pretty much settled in my condominium. It's a 3 bedroom condo and very spacious. If you guys feel like visiting the Land of Smiles, holler aight! Can crash at my place. Let me show you my hobby area.





That's it for now, more on my Bangkok exploits you can visit my other blog http://bkkohbkk.blogspot.com/

A Thousand Sons

Graham McNeil has done it again. What an excellent book and a must read for Space Wolves and Thousand Sons followers! All I can say, you wouldn't understand the origins of the the Thousand Sons legion until you read the book. They are not what as they are portrayed now by the current Imperial historians. They are more to them than meets the eye and power wielded by them were magnificent and tragic at the same time. Go and take a read, 4.5 out of 5 rating in my books. I can't wait until they released the sequel to this book, 'Prospero Burns' by my favorite author Dan Abnett.

'They are no wolves on Fenris" quoted from Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons

After 3 months...

Fuuuhhhhhh..(slowly blowing dusts and spider webs on my blog)..Its been awhile, I know..only lame excuses such as work and chores I could entertain u guys with..lol..but alas not much activity for me this past few months. I missed most of Legio tourneys and events and the biggest one was the Kindred tournament hosted by the Khairul and Arzmi ,due to my imminent move to Bangkok. (Khairul, will do something in Bangkok once you reached here, thats a promise bro!!) Most of you would know by now that I'm in Bangkok sector of Segmentum Thailand.

But that doesn't mean I totally ignore my hobby. After a successful stint with my Cadian 7th, I'm starting a 1750 Space Wolves army. Check out below some of the painted Grey Hunters below. The highlight of this army will be the Thunderwolves and I'm fielding six of them. Will update more on this soon.

I can't do much hobby right now due to the bulk of my hobby tools are still transiting in the warp, pending arrival. I'm still looking for hobby venues in Bangkok and actually found one, Battlefield Bangkok. I haven't got the chance to visit them yet, but by looking at the Bangkok map, it's not that far from my location. They actually held some sort of tournament to determine the players representing them to Spore Con..how stringent is that, hehe but kinda cool nonetheless. Khairul was in town yesterday and we met up to do some sightseeing. It was nice indeed to see a fellow legio here, dude, can't wait to see you again on the 29th..We'll goin to teach the Thais how to play 40k, Legio style!! Ok, now I heard there's an increasing popularity of BFG in Legio, hmmm, should I start a fleet? I guess better familiarise myself with the rules at the least. Will discuss with Khairul once he's here. Thats it from me for now..Laters..

Guess, where are we?

Hehehe, Bangkok's must visit and try

IG Army List Calculator

For you IG players, I found this cool Excel IG army list calculator from Warseer. Check it out at this link http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=196321. Basically it'll allow you to calculate your desired army list, minus the hassle of refering to the IG Codex for point cost. This excel format can be utilise for other codices, as long you are willing to create a new formula and input for that specific codex. It's pretty intuitive, check it out.

Heavy Bolter Justice

With no hobby nite and no dice rolls action this week, I sidetracked a bit from my BL Project and did some simple IG conversions . See that guy up there? Its Sergeant Deric Sorin of the Tanith regiment (count as Gunnery Sergeant Harker) and he will lead a Tanith Vet Squad into battle. Good thing bout this guy, he confers Infiltrate, Stealth and Move thru Cover. Meaning his squad can Outflank, get at least 3+ cover saves if in cover and 3D6 move thru difficult terrain. Furthermore this guy got Feel No Pain (just for him) and Relentlessly carrying a Heavy Bolter. Awesome!! He fits perfectly among the Tanith's with their stealth and infiltration tactics. Can't wait to see this guy in action.

On the conversion, the torso and leg are Cadian sprues, the arms and head from Catachans, the Heavy Bolter conversions from the Leman Russ Tank sprues.

Painting also wasn't that complicated. Base coated with Chaos Black. Pant's Catachan Green with a highlight of Gnarloc Green. Body armor Graveyard Earth and wash of Scorched Brown. The H.Bolter with Boltgun Metal and highlight of Codex Grey. The face and arms are a bit detailed however. I started with Bronze Flesh and wash it with a watered down Dark Flesh. Then a thin layer of Dwarf Flesh and then a highlight of Elf Flesh. And for the finale, dipped with Minwax Golden Oak (works all the time hehe..) and that's it! Simple and saves me at least RM 60 from buying the Sergeant Harker model. Benissimo!

Now, to get back to my Black Legion Berzekers, which I've managed to finished only 3 berzerkers this week rather than my original target of 10. Laters..

Legio 40k Tourney - Aftermath of the Inquisition Wars

Legio 40k Tourney - The inquisition Wars

Wow!! That was a great event by Legio. Cool t-shirts, complimentary super cool measuring device and great looking crowds and also armies. That is what Legio tourney is all about, the best there is! Congrats to all the winners and participants for making this tourney an eventful one.

How did I do in the tourney? Well, I won 2 and lost 1 and scored above average for both appearance and sportsmanship, ended up at 9th placing. I'm really happy with the appearance scores (thanks judges..lol) and this really a motivation to take my paintings to a higher plane.

My Cadian 7th performed well in the tourney but my Manticore was a let down. Maybe I've not mustered the tactics to utilise it, but the rest of the Cadians performed well nonetheless. First round was against Xian's gun line Imperial Guard which I won, LUCKILY, for the battle ended at turn 5 with a Vet squad with 5 men left holding the objective at the center table. What was left, a damaged Executioner and a Battle Canonless Leman Russ.

Second round, against Spore Con 2009 Overall Champion, Tsui with his beautiful and deadly Space Wolves army. I lost badly this round but it was a fun game nonetheless. My dice rolls were abysmal with bad pen rolls and leadership tests. But the highlight of the game when a single meltagun shot from my Stormtroopers managed to explode a Land Raider Redeemer. Living Lightning was nightmare, most of my Chimeras got wrecked due to that wretched psychic power. The Manticore however, survived till the end with not a single damage done on the Space Wolves, how pathetic! It was a near total annihilation on the Cadians.

Third round, the Cadian 7th returned with a superb win after that woeful encounter with the Space Wolves. This round was against Nik Kamal's Eldar. A Kill Point game, my Executioner performed well this round, killing most of his ground troops including Prince Yriel. Veterans picked off Wave serpents and Falcons with precised Meltagun shots. The battle ends at turn 6 with 8 to 5 kill points favoring the Cadians.

I was exhausted after the 3rd round. We proceeded to the prize ceremony (go to Legio's Website for the list of winners and rankings) and then headed to nearby mamak near Oldtown for gossiping session, hehe..which then I realised I've missed Asar prayer..hmmm. But it was a great event indeed and can't wait for the next Legio tourney. AVE LEGIO!!

Season 3 League and moving forward

I've ended up 3rd place for Season 3 league and automatically qualified for the finals on December 5th. I thought Jo going to dethroned me last Friday, eventhough he managed to win a game but not enough points for 3rd placing. Anyhow, the 4th player will be the determined after the Marksman tournament which is on November 28th. I wonder who'll make it thru this time? Whatever it is, the Cadian 7th fears no one (well maybe the Orks, lol..) and ready for battle. For the Emperor!!

Moving forward, after the League finals, my Cadians will get a deserved long break and I'm reactivating my long stalled Black Legion project. I've finished painting 3 BL Terminators so far (see below) and will proceed to finish 10 BL Berzerkers by next week. Maybe after that, I'll start work on Abadon, and yes he will lead my Black Legion. For my Slaanesh, I need to finish up on the cardboard Land Raider with chaos ornaments and other decoratives. Chaos can't be denied! Death to the False Emperor!!

Legio 40k Tourney

Its 2 days away and my Cadian 7th are prep up and ready for battle! Azlan will be coming down with his Bradenburg so that makes 2 IG armies from Legio (not that I know of any other IG player from Legio, perhaps Iz but he'll be fielding his orks). Its goin to be fierce, its goin to be bloody and I'm sure the Singaporeans contigents are going to bring the heat as well. During Spore I didn't got the chance to battle with most of them and I and relish the opportunity in this coming tourney.

Anyways the Cadian 7th performed exceptionally well in the league thus far with 6 wins and 1 loss. But the tourney list will be slightly different from the league as I've added more firepower, in the version of a coverted Manticore (see below) .I hope it can do much damage in coming tournament. For the Emperor!!

After the league and Legio tourney, the Cadian 7th will be off duty for awhile and I'm going back to my Chaos roots by tidying up my Slaanesh army and finish up my Black Legion project. Also I'm starting a Vampire Count army soon, will explain more later.

Ciao!!

Remember this?

The Manticore!!

Arenxis Campaign - Week 2

All goes well for the Cadian 7th as they reclaimed the Hubris Spaceport from the nurgle cohorts, the Unclean. Had an awesome battle with Jeff, and I tell you his army was tough and his lesser daemons are a scary bunch (WS 4 I4 A2, maybe it can work with my Slaanesh army, to consider..) especially against IG. The battle was fought on a City Fight terrain table and cover save are abundance. But the Cadian 7th Armour's awesome fire power prevailed nonetheless. For full report on the Arenxis Campaign, read all about it at the Legio website.

Also Jeff posted the second issue of Aquila News Network and personally I think it was awesome work! Kudos to Jeff! Go and check it out.

Cadian 7th Armour mobilized for battle

I will be facing the Orks next week to defend the Hubris Spaceport. The Cadian 7th will not fail! For the Emperor!!

Arenxis Minoris Campagin

Wow, its been awhile since I've updated anything on this blog. Well as most Legio 40k enthusiast know, the Arenxis Campaign is ongoing at the moment with me being the faction leader for the Forces of Order. Not a good start for the good guys as we lost all the spaceport during the 1st week of the campaign. This week the Imperium will return with a vengeance and to claim back all lost spaceports and expand our territory at the same time. I have a score to settle with the Chaos faction leader Lord Minthras aka Jeff and his nurgle minions. The Cadian 7th has been unleashed and only one will come out thriumphant. For the Emperor.

Meanwhile, I've finish painting and dippede at least 90% of all my Cadian 7th Armour ( see below) For me, it looks awesome once dipped in Minwax's Golden Oak and a few sprays of Tamiya Flat. (Thanks to Jeff for the awesome idea) So what do you guys think?

Cadian 7th in action - against Eldar of Altansar

Got back from Alor Star and went down to Wolf's lair for a round of 40k with Khairul's Eldar. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon but the sun definitely shone on the Cadians with a delicious victory over the Eldar. I tweaked my list a bit from previous battles, here goes:

Cadian 7th (1750pts)

HQ

Commander Faizal Sani - Plasma Pistol, Carapace Armour
4x Veterans - 2 Plasma, 2 Meltagun, Vox Astropath

Senior Officer Amru - Boltgun
4x Veterans - 1 Plasma, Vox, Astropath

TROOPS
Infantry Platoon
Al Rahem
4x Veterans - 2x Meltagun, 1x Plasma Gun, Flamer, Vox, Chimera

20x Infantrymen (combined) - 2x Meltaguns
Commisar Viktor Hark - Power Weapon

Veterans
10x Cadian - 3x Meltagun, Vox, Chimera

10x Tanith Vets - 3x Meltagun, Vox, Chimera
10x Tanith Vets - 3x Meltagun, Vox, in Valkyrie

FAST ATTACK
Valkyrie (Mortis) - Multiple Rocket Pods, Heavy Bolter

HEAVY SUPPORT
Leman Russ Demolisher (Annihilator) - Sponson Plasma Cannon
Leman Russ (Wrath of Holn) - Sponson Heavy Bolter, Lascannon hull
Leman Russ (Kedah's Pride) - Sponson Heavy Bolter

All units are kept in reserve and ready to out flank. Al Rahem and his troops including the Valkyrie (with 10 Vets) will out flank. The rest will come from reserve. 2 Astropaths will make outflanking and reserve unit enters early with 2+ reserve roll.

Khairul's Eldar list: Eldrad with 5x Seer Council in Wave Serpent, Farseer with 7x Dire Avengers in Falcon, 6x Fire Dragons in Falcon, 2 5x Pathfinders squad, 3 Warwalkers with Scatter Lasers and a Wraithlord.

Mission: Annihilation - Pitched Battle. Result - Win (6-2 killpoints)

The terrain was fairly open with a big barricade on the Cadians center deployment zone. Big chunks of rocks and small hills littered the battlefield which provided lots of cover. The Eldar made it difficult with its Fortune, holo fields capability but it didn't last long against the Imperial Guard firepower. I must say Khairul's dice rolls were quite bad in terms of vehicle penetration results. Lots of ramming and brightlance shots mostly managed to score only stun result. I was lucky but the Cadians prevailed nonetheless. The story-report as below:

It was blisterring hot on Wolf Prime 31 as midday approaches. Faizal, Commander of Cadian 7th 2nd Company, scours the dunes for any Eldar spotters with his satellite guided binoculars. 'We need to breach this Eldar blockade to link up with the Raven Guards on the other side of the planet' adviced Faizal to his aide de camp Senior Officer Amru. Nodded in agreement, Amru vox in a secured frequency, ordering the Cadians to prepare for battle. Al-Rahem and his platoons already recon ahead, ready to outflank any encroaching Eldar. 'Two Eldar grav-tanks approaching my lord, vector 3.12 south!' informed from the Wrath of Holn. 'Good, our first kill of the day' Faizal grinned devilishly. 'Men, move out!' bellowed the commander

The rumbling of the Leman Russes tracks shook the ground. Cannons that could level a hab block roared and hit the Eldar's sleek vehicles. But Eldar witchcraft and advanced tech prevented it from harm and not even a scratch on the Eldar tanks. Disbelief, Faizal ordered one of the Tanith Veterans to disembark from their Chimera to 'melta' out one of the tanks, but to no avail. An ancient looking Farseer with his councils disembarked and charge the exposed Taniths wiping them out. The other Eldar tank moved east and disgorged Eldar Fire Dragons to target the incoming Valkyrie. The Valkyrie crashed but remain operational. The Fire Dragons cheered in some xenos language but their victory dance was not long as Cadians came out from the damaged Valkyrie and wipe them out with precised lasgun shots. Seeing their bretheren was brutally murdered, the second Tanith Veterans change course and target the Farseer with melta and lasgun shots. With fire support from the Annihilator and Kedah's Pride, the ancient Farseer suddenly banished leaving only one surviving council. He was gutted by the unending Straight Silver lashes from the Taniths.

Meanwhile, Al-Rahem moved forward to rid off any potential Eldar snipers on the northeast quadrant. He was later ambushed and killed by an Eldar raiding party led by a young farseer, as reported in Al-Rahem's last combat log. Only his Chimera came out alive. Eldar reinforcement coming from the north in the forms of walkers squadron with laser cannons and a mighty Wraithlord. Scatter laser shots hits the already immobilised Valkyrie, only managed to destroyed its missile pod. Brightlance shot from the Wraithlord had no significant impact on the Valkyrie. 'The emperor must be smiling on this day'said the relief pilot. Wrath of Holn's battle cannon roared and hit the incoming war walkers. They were all obliterated in a pile of shattered wraithbones and other xenos matter. The Taniths came out of hiding from the Valkyrie and aim their meltaguns at the approaching Wraithlord. 'Bring it down! Bring it down!' ordered Faizal whom was nearby. 'Eat melta, fething Eldar scum! shouted by one of the Taniths. The Wraithlord didn't stand a chance and slump to the ground, lifeless.

In the center flank, the seemingly invulnerable Eldar tank at first, was immobilised after a Demolisher Cannon hit its rear thrusters, thanks to advice from S.O Amru. The Eldar, suffered tremendous losses, subjected to ramming from their sleek tanks to any Cadian visible target, mainly the Chimeras. Again the Emperor seems to smile on the Cadians as nothing significant impacted on the sturdy transport. Seeing their ancient Farseer was banished coupled with huge losses, the Eldar flee from the battlefield as they blends in with the dessert. 'Should we gave chase, sir? inquires Amru. 'Negative, they are too weak to fight us now. The way is now clear and prepare to move out' orders Faizal. Although his losses are minimal, but losing Al-Rahem was as equivilent to losing an entire battalion. 'Goodbye, old friend.' Faizal spoke in a soft sombre tone.

End

"Now where was that darn kitty?"

Cadian 7th In Action - against White Scars

This will be the first battle report for my Cadian 7th IG. I had mixed results from previous engagements with 1 win and 1 lost (both against Subhans's Chaos Daemons) and also a draw against Iqbal's Raven Guard. I had a round with Subhan's White Scar's yesterday and boy how I nearly lost the game, which ended up draw. Army list below:

Cadian 7th (1747pts)

HQ

Commander Faizal Sani - Plasma Pistol, Carapace Armour

4x Veterans - 2 Plasma, 1 Meltagun, Vox
Astropath

Senior Officer Amru - Boltgun

4x Veterans - 2 Plasma, 2 Meltagun, Vox

Astropath

TROOPS

Infantry Platoon

Al Rahem

4x Veterans - 3x Meltagun, Flamer, Vox, Chimera

30x Infantrymen (combined) - 3 Meltaguns, 3 Power Weapon

Commisar Viktor Hark - Power Weapon

Veterans

10x Tanith Vets - 3x Meltagun, Vox, Chimera

10x Tanith Vets - 3x Meltagun, Vox, Chimera

FAST ATTACK

HEAVY SUPPORT

Leman Russ Demolisher (Annihilator) - Sponson Plasma Cannon

Leman Russ (Wrath of Holn) - Sponson Heavy Bolter, Lascannon hull

Leman Russ (Kedah's Pride) - Sponson Heavy Bolter

All units are kept in reserve and ready to out flank. Al Rahem and his troops including the Valkyrie (with 10 Vets) will out flank. The rest will come from reserve. 2 Astropaths will make outflanking and reserve unit enters early with 2+ reserve roll.

Han's White Scar army list if remembered correctly, Korsaro Khan, Chaplain, 7x A. Terminators with LC and 2 TH in Land Raider Crusader. 2x Scout squad (5x each), 1x Tactical Squad in Rhino (5x men) with Plasma Gun and Power Fist, Vindicator, 2x Pred (Lascannon and Sponson Lascannon) with Chronus.

Mission: Siege Ground - 3 Objectives, Pitched Battle. Result - draw

Terrain was fairly open with 4 big hills on all flanks and some ruins located at the centre table. Since my unit are all in reserve, Han proceed to deploy all of his forces, with heavy concentration on 1 objective on his right flank. A scout unit infiltrated to cover 1 objective on a hill deep in his deployment. I've created a story format rather than standard battle report. Well here goes:

The Cadians and their Tanith allies entered the battlefield except for the Valkyrie and the Wrath of Holn. Commisar Hark ordered the Infantry platoon to outflank the incoming land raider. Al Rahem and his Vets entered on the other side of the battlefield to grab the objective held by the marine scouts. Faizal's Command Squad alongside a Tanith Veteran squad came out from hiding to assist the brave guardsmen. The Annihilator positioned itself on the slopes of a small hill and Kedah's Pride kept a vigilant distance to make full use of its deadlybattle cannon. Meltagun shots and a blast from the Annihilator's Demolisher cannon only disabled the mighty Land Raider. Volleys of multilaser shots from the Tanith Chimera crippled the White Scar's Vindicator Demolisher Cannon and Kedah's Pride battle cannon overshot and create a huge crater behind the White Scar's position. Commisar Hark rallied his platoons to face the impeding horrors that coming out of the Land Raider...

With a great warshout, Korsaro Khan and his Terminators emerged from the Land Raider and charged the guardsmen. If it not for Hark's zeal and leadership the entire platoon would have flee. Lightning Claws and Thunder Hammers clashed with lasgun bayonets and knifes. They fought like warrior poets. Hark and his brave guardsmen fought till the very end...Chronus's Predator targeted all its laser cannons towards Kedah's Pride and destroyed it. The Annihilator's crew suffered a temporary blackout after a las cannon shot shook the old Leman Russ's hull.

All hopes were not lost when Commander Faizal ordered Senior Officer Amru to disembarked from the Chimera to stop Korsaro and his Terminators. It seems suicidal but that was the only way to decelerate their advance. The Land Raider was obliterated by a precised meltagun shot from Amru's crew. Seeing the incoming threat, the Taniths change their course and positioned themselves behind a hill to target Korsaro. This was to bought time, nothing more. In the centre flank, Wrath of Holn finally arrived. Its battle cannon roared and destroyed one enemy predator to bits. In the northern quadrant, Al Rahem surged forward towards the objective held by the scouts, guns ready. Out of a sudden, a woooshh super sonic sound deafens the environment. The Valkyrie 'skimmers' over them like a fiery phoenix and spew out its lethal load. The Tanith's Veteran immediately unload torrential volleys of death at the scouts. Meltagun and lasgun shots cut the marine scouts to pieces.

On the left flank Korsaro with this Terminators rampaged through the Cadian Command Squad. Lightning Claws fed on human gore and limbs. Senior officer Amru fought valiantly and finally succumbed to a Thunder Hammer blow to the head. Enraged at the death of his Senior Officer, Faizal disembarked from his command vehicle and shouted obscenity at Korsaro. Meanwhile, the Tanith attempted to outflank the White Scars with lasgun shots and melta. Storm shields and the bulky ceramite plasteel of a Terminator armour made a mockery of such shots. Korsaro, enraged of the obscenity thrown at him, directed his Terminators to engaged Faizal and his Veterans. It was over in five minutes, Faizal only after 25 Lightning Claw lashes, succumbed to his wound and fell. Seeing their leader killed in such a brutal manner, the Tanith's swore revenge and would deny the Space Marines their price. Shouting, 'Men of Tanith, do you want to live forever!!'. With a thunderous roar, they charged into the meatgrinder that awaits them. Korsaro, with a silent whisper, 'they are truly warriors of the emperor'. None of the Tanith's survived.

The final hour approaches as times running out for both forces. Korsaro directed his Tactical Squad to engaged Al Rahem on the northern region. Al Rahem and his Veterans were holding the important objective, grabbed from the scouts while Korsaro's forces held one objective deep in their deployment zone. A Rhino transport surged forward towards Al Rahem. Chronus provided backup fire, targeting at Rahem's Chimera and managed to destroy it, killing 3 Veterans at the same time. Al Rahem, dazed from the explosion emerged unscathed and prepared for the coming onslaught. Suddenly a battle cannon roared and hit the incoming Rhino. Surprised, Rahem immediately Vox in on an open channel, inquiring who has fired. "It is the Wrath of Holn sir, bless the Emperor you're still alive" replied the tank commander. The Rhino was a wreck and 3 marines appeared from the wreckage. Bolter and plasma shots killed Al Rahem's remaining veteran. Renewed with combat vigor, Al Rahem unholstered his plasma pistol and shot at the Space Marines. One was bathed in white plasma fire and died. Without hesitation, Al Rahem unsheathed his power sword and charged. The two remaining Space Marines was hacked to death, limb to limb.

Sighing relief of surviving, but the objective held by him previously has been compromised and had to be abandoned. The only solution to prevent the White Scars from escaping the system with the precious objective, Al Rahem, ordered the remaining Tanith in the Valkyrie to infiltrate the enemy's deployment zone and destroy the objective. An order he regret to give. But the Taniths have the courage of steel and without saying a word they embarked on the Valkyrie and flew straight into the lions den. Al Rahem could see from afar the Valkyrie was shot down, fearing the worst that the Taniths had died for nothing. As he prepared to move out, a low hiss coming from his Vox "Ca..p.tain...o..b.jective des..tr..oyed..mis.sion accompl....ttztztztztztztztzzztt.." and followed by a noise which he can't make out.

End.

Cadian 7th 'Lucky Seven'

I've decided to deviate from Chaos (for the time being..) to the Emperor's Hammer and Fist, the Imperial Guard! Yup that's right, with the new IG codex which is scheduled to be realeased in May, I've started painting a Leman Russ and a platoon of Cadians. Don't want to splurge too much until they release the codex with new IG minis selection..

My army will be loosely based on the Cadian 7th 'Lucky Seven' Division, entrusted to protect the Fotress World of Kasr Holn which is part of the Cadian System. During the 13th Black Crusade, Kasr Holn had suffered incursions from Chaos forces mainly daemonic entities and the 7th was at the forefront and successfully defended Kasr Holn. With that they were also known as 'daemon killers'. I've yet to figure out which tactics I'm using to for the 7th until I got my hands on the codex. Currently I'm thinking an Armoured Company force (3 leman russ, 2 medusa, 2 executioner..scary..) For Slaa...I mean Emperor!!

Cadian 7th Division

LRBT 2, 7th Armoured Division

Poor Butterfly...

I was wondering if Liverpool really wanted to win the Premier League..I just don't know. BBC reports.

Codex Imperial Guard

The new IG Codex is on its way indefinitely and with lots of firepower upgrades especially with the Leman Russ tank variant. Apparently the latest IG summary sheet was accidentally released by GW France. One of the confirmed rumors, Leman Russ Punisher's gatling punisher: R: 24 S:5 AP:- Heavy 20 (where are those orks??!!). Read all about it in BOLS.

Hobby Nite cancelled

I was looking forward for a few games at Legio tonight, but then Hobby Nite was cancelled. Well things happen. Probably I'll get some to guys to play at home.

Had a round with Shahril's SoBs yesterday with my 'Lash Hammer army' and added another notch on my win record (Killpoint 8-2). He hasn't been playing for quite sometime and still getting used to 5th ed rules. He'll get the hang of it soon.
