Wargames Con Teams, Wheres my swag?

Alright, we didn't come home covered in glory, but we had a damn fine time, thanks to BoLS for putting on another great convention, though there didn't appear to be goody bags this year either, just stop promising it guys.

Also, on the rules pack it said there was a Fluff Bunny Award, of Paint+Sportsmanship+Presentation- Battle Points, pretty sure we were in the running as we did well on the others and only scored 1 point. But this award was not awarded to anyone.

Bad stuff done, on to the pretty armies.

Here is the hall and a shot of one of the tables, pretty good for such a huge tournament, you can hide behind things, although we never got much of a chance to hide our manticore very well until the last game.

A few of the team armies.

 Eldar and Grey Knights

 All Bikes all the time.

 What won't Orks loot?

 Love the looted raiders.

 Dark/Eldar Harlequins(probabably wyches)

 Very nice DoubleWing

Carebear Army, with Seer Council and Thunderhammer Storm Shield Terminators.

 Really love the raiders and the contrast of these two.

Holy crap that's a lot of wolves.

That's all for today, a few more pictures of what else was going on and our games to come shortly.

Final Count Down.

Doodeedoodoo, doo doo doo, doodeedoodoo....

In two weeks I leave for Austin to play in the WarGames Con team tournament with Jack.

Wait TWO WEEKS?!

I still need to finish up painting and basing a few more Thunderwolf Cavalry, and a 10 man 2x plasma grey hunter squad to play random games on Saturday with.

This weekend, it's paint time.

Here is a Thunderwolf Cav with magnetized shield I did the other day.

Dice Bucket For The Win

Hey everyone! I am in fact not dead. Been working a ton and decided to get to work about 30 min early so I could have sit down and tell you guys about something that was huge for Bryce and I.

Since Wayland games is no longer an option for us Americans Bryce found a new online store, Dice Bucket. Wanted everyone to know that they were great! Cheaper than GW online and delivery took about 5 days. So if anyone else what devistated by the loss of Wayland then I know my reccomendation is to hit up dice bucket.

On a side note, WarCon Doubles tournament is officially on for dissenting dice! The wolves and the guard will get the chance to get to demolished on a more grand scale than normal.

As long as it goes better than the game where Bryce beat me 14 kp to 0 I will consider it a win.

P.S. I also just saw that they now ship internationally. -bp 

Thunderwolves Ho!

I got 4 new chaos knights from a guy up at the shop the other night. Here is what I did with them. One is a wolf lord/ TWC with a storm shield and wolf claw. The others are my standard 1 powerfist/ storm shield, 1 storm shield, and 1 meltabomb/storm shield. I am going to magnetize the shields on the last ones so I can shave some points if need be. 

 Here is a picture of the wolf lord, and also a closer shot of my super crappy but getting better greenstuff work to make his pelt flap in the wind. 

Also here is my newest balanced version of my half of out team list. Thoughts?

1st Team Test. Fail

Alright, Tuesday night Jack and I got to try out our team list. We played up at Challenge games here in Lubbock, against a good fellow named Mitchell. He brought guard and black templars, him against the two of us.

Oh gods the carnage. It was a total wipe out on our part. We got maybe 1 kill point and had I think 1 left at the end of the game.

We played annihilation with spear head deployment.

Here is our lists

HQ

230 Wolf lord 100, TW 45, SS 30, Rune armor 20, frost blade 25, Saga of the Beastslayer 10

100 Rune Priest, Tempest's Wrath, Living lightning.

Troops

120 5 grey hunters, plasmagun 10, rhino 35

80 5 grey hunters, meltagun 5

Fast Attack

235 3 TWC 150, 2 SS 60, PF 25

235 3 TWC 150, 2 SS 60, PF 25

HQ

175 CS 50, autocannon 10, Officer of the Fleet 30, 2 plasmaguns 30, chimera 55, hull heavy flamer

Troops

165 Veterans 70, 3 meltaguns 30, AC 10 chimera 55, hull heavy flamer

165 Veterans 70, 3 meltaguns 30, AC 10 chimera 55, hull heavy flamer

160 Veterans 70, 2 meltaguns 20, 1 flamer 5, AC 10 chimera 55

160 Veterans 70, 2 meltaguns 20, 1 flamer 5, AC 10 chimera 55

Heavy Support

160 Manticore

Mitchell took:
Guard: A lord commissar, 3 standard melta-vet squads, a manticore, and a stock leman russ.
Black Templars: An emperors champion with the preferred enemy vow, 7 terminators 5 LC, 2 Th/SS with furious charge, a venerable dread with a lascannon, missile launcher and tank hunter, and 2 minimum squads of troops.

This was a slaughter. Running my thunderwolves with lord first turn got them just into charge range of the terminators, they all died. Also during his first shooting phase the manticore took out two of the other thunder wolves, the powerfist/SS rider was the only model to survive the game.

Everything just went down hill from there. We tried to put up a defense, but those terminators were in our back lines and chasing the wolf lord off the table, he never ran fast enough to get away.

However, the lone powerfist cavalry model immobilized the land raider, allowing vets to kill it( our only kill point I think), he also killed both of the black templar troops choices on his own.

At one point he passed about 5 or 7 3++ invulnerable saves all at the same time. It was awesome.
