Showdown at Slice and Dice!

Last weekend, me and Khairul went to S&D for a game, my Cadian 7th versus his Saim Hann Eldar. Me and Khairul were a bit rusty after not playing 40k for awhile but we had good slicing dicing good time. An annihilation/dawn of war mission which I won by a few kill points. Most of the patrons there were impressed by Khairul's clean and beautifully painted Saim Hann and it was good to see the them in action again. Next week I'm planning to try out BFG using Khairul's models for the time being.




Next I had a game with Win, S&D's main man. A super cool guy and had an awesome round of 40k against his IG Deathkorps. We played a 1750 point game and it was spearhead/capture & control. Win's Deathkorps truly followed the 'war of attrition' ideology and used mass infantry platoons, cavalry charges supported by Leman Russes, Medusa artie and lascannons heavy support units. My mechanized Cadians were overwhelmed and they kept on coming even with high ammount of casualties. Win's Deathkorp was in my deployment zone by turn 3 and the Cadians were on the defensive all the way. The only option was to outflank his objective with my Valkyrie but it went to my deployment zone instead. Precised and well ordered Lascannons shots disrupted my tanks and were rendered useless. The game went on to turn 6 and the Deathkorp was able to contest my objective in my deployment zone, with a handful troops managed to reached the Cadian's line. Deathkorp 1, Cadian 0. It was an awesome and both were pretty much exhausted. That's it for now, till then, 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/

Cometh the Undead!

That's right! The Undead will be my new Warhammer Fantasy army and I'm planning a 2500 points strong force. Too often I went to Slice and Dice here in Bangkok and come to realise that they play Fantasy here more than 40k. What a better way to start by joining the crowd here. I had plan earlier to start a Vampire Counts army but the Space Wolves got in the way. Now that I'm almost finish with the Fenrisians, VC will be my new project, and I foresee that this might take some time to complete (family, work and pursuing my MBA at the same time, huhu..). To start I've gotten myself 2 packs of Dire Wolves and a battalion of undead are on its way from Maelstrom consisting of 2o skeletons, 20 zombies, 10 crypt ghouls and a corpse cart. Also with the imminent launch of the 8th edition version, this is the perfect time to start a Fantasy army. Below is the army list I'm planning to construct, comments and advice are welcome.

Army of Vlad (2480 pts)

Lords and Heroes
Vlad Von Carstein - 475

Necromancer - 210
- Invocation of Nehek, Raise Dead, Vanhel's Danse Macabre
- Dispel Scroll, Corpse Cart with Unholy Lodestone

Vampire - 165
-Tomb Blade, Dispel Scroll, Lord of the Dead

Wight King - 100
- Sword of Kings

Core
20 Skeletons - 205
- Command, Banner of the Dead Legion

20 Skeletons - 205
- Command, Banner of the Dead Legion

20 Zombie Horde - 92
- Musician, Standard Bearer

5 Dire Wolves

5 Dire Wolves

Special
20 Grave Guard - 303
-Musician, Banner of the Barrows

4 Fellbats

3 Spirit Host

Rare
Black Coach - 200
Vargulf - 175

This army is some what flexible with Vlad, Necromancer and the Vampire can help to raise unsavory Undeads and support the army. Also with so many Dark Magics coalescing around can help to pump the Black Coach and make it a monster in close combat. Not to forget Vlad himself is the most powerful Vampire around and he's strong enough to see mostly any foes supported by Grave Guards along side the Wight King. Zombies and Skeletons provide weight of numbers in combat, Dire Wolves can make dangerous flank and rear charges while the Fellbats can disrupt enemy artillery units. Finally, the Spirit Hosts (I love this ghosts so much, being Ethereal and all..),Vargulf and the Black Coach will do much needed damage to the enemy. This is prelim of course and comments and advices are welcome.

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.
