Army List Names

I picked up the new Deathstorm box set this weekend. First, you get a nice tiny rulebook, second, you get a ton of minis, including the new character model.

To celebrate, I got in a game with my buddy Chris and broke out my Death Company army. My 1,850 point list looks like this:

Reclusiarch
25 Death Company - 5 power fists, 10 power swords, 10 CC/bolt pistols - 25 jump packs
5 Scouts with sniper rifles, camo cloaks
2 Dreads with MM, heavy flamers, drop pods
1 Level 2 Librarian (hoping to get invisibility)

That's it.

Chris knew what I was bringing and stacked the deck. He brough Space Wolves, with 6 rune priests and all of the plasma weapons he could proxy. Despite taking some serious wounds the first turn, I was nearly pulled it off, but in the end I couldn't shrug off so many plasma shots that have precience. It was a lot of fun though. I think I enjoy the, "WTF?" comments the most.

One of the fun parts of tournament play is the creative names that people come up with for their army lists. I'm a bit stumped on a creative name for my Blood Angel dread list, Death Company list and White Scars.

Here's what I've been toying around with:

Drop Dread
Touched by a Blood Angel
Dread-Yes!

I think I Khan

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

RTT Tournament results!

  I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience.  I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
