Proposed Warpcon List, provisional

So I was at work and working away, on the list for Warpcon.

The tourney is 1850 and I'm looking forward to it, should be great craic boi...

So I have 160 points left after this list and I'm not sure what to add in, options are:

• Lord Commissar
• Commissars and Power Weapons in squads
• Heavy Weapons Team with Lascannons
• The Mighty Ratlings
• Regimental Advisors (Astropath or Oficer of the Fleet) Maybe a Master of Ordanance but that would screw up the CCS Melta power.
• Hull Lascannons on the Leman Russ.
• Dropping a couple of little things and getting a Demolisher.

I think I lack the Long Ranged AT capablities of a usual list but this should also pack some punch.

Problem at the moment is models, Ideally I'd have a Psyker Squad in another Chimera to make up the last lot of points. But I lack any form of Psykers, I'd need to get some stuff together to build one, I've some Empire Flaggelants or similar somewhere in Belgium, when the folks come ove in March that might be an option, been looking for other options too, but I don't like the GW models too much.

Ugly aint they

 So heres the list, for now, this assumes I get my Bitspudlo Cannons in time, or I have to make another Scratch Cannon, whilst not that hard, it is long.

I will also need to complete my 4 Chimeras y then but that should be a weekend job.

Right now Little Bro is here so time is spent doing things.

I'm trying to get feedback from my Pals at WAC and over on Dakka Dakka too.

Battle Reports coming soon.

So I've discovered a bit of Software called Vassal, its intended for playing tabletops online but You can also use it to make Old School style WD Bat Reps. You need to wedge in the 40k module which has been C&D'd by Games Workshop but it is findable.

Heres a preview of the report from my first game against Dave and his blood Angels.

It looks pretty good it's got a ton of Models in it, think I'll be adding some custom Explosion Icons and such for future reports

SPACHE MAWEENS!

So last night was game two, 1750 points against Black Templar’s.

Full Gun Line Deployment (I’m sure there’s another name for this) and a Kill points mission.

I won the roll off, opting to deploy and go first. I deployed ready to unleash some serious fire-power, keeping just the Vendettas with the Melta vets in reserve for some outflanking.

We rolled for the initiative, Hugh takes it. Balls.

After getting shot to pieces for most of the early turns and then attempting to return fire the Melta vets finally turn up in turn 3 and explode a land speeder and some Marines and Terminators. One squad then gets rushed by the Terminators, 1 survivor who flees and then is rallied by the Ccs!

The Heroes of the Game were the Ratlings, 3 of them killing two marines and forcing two pinning tests in the game, incredible!

The Infantry without heavy weapons, once again, did nothing, might have to drop the Heavy weapons and just stick with a power Blob, or loads of Veteran squads.

Chimeras seemed to take a lot of fire, I think sending the Vendettas as out flankers is meaning they are wasted, if they draw fire in 1^st turn then the tanks don’t.

All in all the game was close 6 Kill points to Hughs 7, a poor Penetrated roll on a Land speeder would have evened it up.

The Forgeworld kits don’t look to have arrived this week as I write from work and cant check the post, so I guess I’ll be waiting on them. This weekend I’ve got a few more Hostile Cadians to paint and base, but I am missing some Cadian weapon arms, about 10 or so, which might mean another box.

Magnets and Russ sponsons, no sign of those either but I do have some Special weapon troops to get on with as well as 14 or so Valhallans, just to bolster the army for when the time comes.

I imagine when 6^thed, predicted for July, comes around, my army will need complete reworking, so the options need to be there. Maybe by then I’ll have my other 2 armies and mountain of Bitz.

Must buy more Ratlings, they are heroes!
