Battle Report: Week 6, Escalation League

It's Imperium Vs. Xenos week at the league. Which means it's 2v2 for Imperium and Xenos players. I arrived late and they were one Imperium player short (IG and BT are Imperium faction for the purposes of the league). so I was asked to step in and defend the Imperium. Muahahaha! So it was my BA and Mack’s IG against Tau and Eldar.

Battle Report: Week 4, Escalation League

In case you noticed, I missed week 3 of the league due to Father's Day (and being my first year as a father) and my wife's 40th Birthday (Yea, I value my life and appreciate my wife watching the kids so I can play at all...so yea, I skipped 40k). The following week was the Malleus Imperator event so the league was postponed. Unfortunately, I worked all weekend and missed everything! Grrr. I was so on to bring my Libby dread to the Kill Team tourney.

WIP - Librarian Furioso Dread

Ok, so I have decided to start playing around with a Librarian Furioso Dreadnought conversion. It's still in the planning stages so things are likely to change, but I wanted to post what I have been working on.

Battle Report: Week 2, Escalation League

BA VS. Necrons

Welcome to week two of our escalation league. This week you will find an amazing twist on turn 6 of this game.

WIP - Sanguinary Priest

I looked at the GW Sanguinary Priests and they look great...but out of stock so GW cancelled my order. So I needed to find an alternative. I started looking at the bits I had and found a combo I really like. It's the legs and sword from the Death Company box (with the X pattern sanded off the right knee). The Apothecary torso and Narcium arm from the Command Squad box, and the winged jump pack from the Sanguinary Guard box. I doubt I'll ever run Sanguinary Guards though I love the models. The bodies will most likely become honor guard with vanguard vets jump packs.

Hobby Update: Painting Escalation League

I am preparing for a painting escalation league which starts this Sunday, June 6th, at the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center. It starts out at 500 points and escalates 250 points every month. There is a campaign and territories and to be able to attack to capture a territory, your army needs to be fully painted. Otherwise, you can defend only.
Ok, so I am a crazy magnet guy. All the arms and backpacks in this assault squad are magnetized as shown on the assault squad sergeant and special weapons marine. The jump packs are magnetized as well.
