January 40k Day!


Yet again I want to thank everybody who supported Lancashire Wargaming's December 40k Day!

It was a over the top success for us as we yet again broke our previous records! For the past 4 months straight we have had more and more wargamers drop in and throw down! This time was the biggest yet and we had a record number of tables going for us at once! 5 tables, with 10 gamers going at one time!

The hobby side of 40k Day was also well represented with yet more enthusiasts painting up some fierce looking models!

We will continue the tradition in January with yet another gathering of gamers! The next 40k Day will be held on January 8th from 1-9pm @ 29 Green Acre Road in Lititz, PA 17543.

I want to thank all those who have supported us up to this point and invite you all out again! If you live in the Lancaster area and have not yet stopped by to see us drop in and introduce yourself! We are always happy to meet and teach new gamers and get beaten up by veterans too!

Also, don't forget to join up with our "Road to Cabin Fever" club event, your dedication is what makes things fun. You only get out of it what you put in, so I hope everybody is busy working on lists, painting, and tactics for the upcoming Cabin Fever tournament! 1 Month Left!

It's going to be a good year!

Dark Angels - 1850pt Battle Report vs. Orks



So... Brother C again,

getting some practice in for Cabin Fever this week instead of my usual painting spree. Finally got my ARE exam out of way for this month and ready for some hamma.

My opponent was Alex from the club, he usually runs orks in any number of list configurations, this list he was trying a truck/boyz spam list against my term bubble wrap.

we are using 1850 point list with modified rules. 5 objectives. night fight at turn 5+, VPS don't matter, just strictly objectives. pitched battle deployment. all objectives are placed in the center swatch of the board.

I apologize for the poor quality of the images, i did not have no normal camera with me and the lighting was romantic indeed, but not suitable for taking blog pictures of battle reps.

DA win roll off, take first turn, deploys all along the nearest table edge. Terms and dread deployed in front, granting cover saves to the razorbacks and predators beyond. LR on the far side laying down heavy fire at range.

Orks deploy in the corner, attempting to stack the cover save from the big mek. His list consists of something like a b.wagon with meganobs + ghaz. 5-6 trucks full of 12 boys + nob with powerclaw. A group of lootas and a big gunz. I think there was a kill can of deff dread in the mix too.



Turn 1.
DA lascannons and rockets and multi-meltas fill the air and manage to explode 2 trucks, immbolize another and immobilize his melee walker. In the explosions, I managed to throw a wound or two on the meganobz, take out another half squad of boys and about a third of another. The lootas eat some firepower but pass their leadership. Terms move up slightly.
Orks attempt to get their act moving, terrain tests everywhere due to the crater field from all the truck explosions; making slogging across the board very difficult. Lootas take out a term in shooting. (where is my apothecary?)



Turn 2.
More shooting from the DA gunline. Taking out 2 more trucks and immobilizing another. Lootas take enough casualties and are running. Another boyz squad does the same. Dread lines up a line of boyz and flames down 10 of them. Assaults, takes down another 3, nob throws an immobilize on the dread. The squad fails leadership and is swept.
Orks again move up, another squad of boys assaults the dread, he kills one, nob throws 2x weapon destroyed on it. Everything else moves up.

Turn 3.
More shooting from DA gunline. Finish off the big guns. Another boyz squad runs off the table, more and more and more shots into the orks, terms and landraider move up. Dreads fails in close combat (yet again) nob finally takes him down.
Orks move in and assault my pred and razor on a multi-assault (gg self letting that happen) boyz manage to wreck my razorback and nob + boyz throw down some hurt on the predator. Knocking off 3 weapons and immobilizing it. Battle wagon filled with 20 boyz and the big mek throw the assault into my terms. (another multi assault – guess what I learned hard in this match?) led by brother Adso (Belial) the terms throw down some major hurt on the orks killing at least 12, orks manage to take down a term (apothecary.. seriously.. where the hell are you?). since waagh declared, orks are fearless. They stay and take more major casualties.



Turn 4.
It must be noted that the large combat between the 20+ ork bodies and my two term squads was so massive that it got lost between rounds. So.. there was probably more ork slaughter here, but, I end up wiping them in his turn 4. Tacts that were forced to get out of the razorback last round attempt to rapid fire his remaining orks on my left flank, to no avail. 2 wounds on like 12 shots… gg. They are going to eat the grass next round , thought I could take them down with a rapid fire without having to assault, but that was a mistake. Everything else the orks have is moving up and I’m still blasting away, there isn’t much on the field for the orks going into turn 5.



Turn 5.
I move my troops into position to capture the objectives. I have 3 captured and I was kicking myself for not deploying my land raider in the center of the board. I could have probably captured another objective with the terms inside. His meganobz were stuck in no man’s land in the middle of the board, he tried to get them in the battlewagon and charge my terms, but the land raider wreck the wagon this turn and they never got in range. Everything else shot into the remaining masses of orks taking down a few but they passed all leadership tests.

Orks failed to do much left. Orks on my left flank finally took down that predator and meganobz tried to get into assault range my failed. Ork boyz and nob with power claw assault my LR but failed to penetrate its armor.


Game ended on turn 5 with 3 objectives held by the DA and 0 for the orks.

The orks had gotten a taste of bloodlust and forgot all about capturing objectives which actually worked out in his favor. (this is opinion since he did not actually capture any objectives in the end, how could it have been in his favor? He could have at least captured 2 but was banking on the game not ending on turn 5. He had assaulted my gun line instead of trying to sit on my objectives. He was able to take down a few vehicles, but if he had tried to camp on the markers, I had enough fire power to destroy anything trying to camp in that manner. So really, what choice did he have? The biggest mistake my opponent made was my deploying everything in a corner on a pitched battle deployment. The meganobz should have been front and center charging my lines as soon as it could. As it turned out, I was able to tar pool his entire army just be prioritizing my targets in the beginning. I forced him to take long ways around and terrain tests just to get out of his deployment zone. This honestly is what won the game for me. I certainly did not win through rolling better than my opponent, quite contrary actually.

DA final thoughts…

LR absolutely needs to be in the center of the field. Big mistake not having him there ready to tank shock or contest objectives as needed. I was really missing my apothecary list in this one. I had recently updated my list to throw some melta guns on my naked tacts in the razorbacks and switched out my term. Apothecary. Man, I missed him this game. Orks basically have nothing that negate being able to use his ability. 30 points for 1 apothecary upgrade that I could have used twice during the game doesn’t quite seem worth it in the long end. If I do decide to go with an apothecary, I’m going to have to find some way to get some plasma into this list to make it worthwhile. Oh that and can’t let myself get multi assault again like that. That was just unacceptable. I need to learn to fall back with my tanks more and wither my opponent down and set up lanes for tank shocking, especially with orks.

Anyways, feel free to leave any and all feedback from this report. Every little bit helps while we are approaching cabin fever. Thanks for reading.

LINK: How to Make a Cheap Carrying Case

Brother C here,

Just a real quick update with a link to a video where someone constructs a very cheap carrying case for their miniatures uses just a simple sheet of steel (THIN) and magnets. much cheaper than a battlefoam box and you don't have to worry about changing your lists and having to find that perfect insert that matches your models.

CHECK THE VIDEO OUT HERE

A quick shout out to the Bolters, Bashers and Brushes guys to posting this on their blog and youtube channel.

some people even prefer this method than purchasing a large plastic foamed out case.

personally I think the best solution would be to do a combination of both, creating multiple tiers of magnetic stripes for your models.

anyways, for those coming to Moro's place tonight, see you there.

Also, wanted to give a shout out to the event I am hosting at my place next Thursday Dec. 23rd, it will be a work night for the newbies. we will be going over simple painting techniques to help you guys get out of your grey plastic armies and into something you are proud to drop on the table top. Anyone interested is of course welcome to come, but I am specifically holding this for the newbies who need a little help and inspiration to break the seal on their painting.

Continue to check out the Road to Cabin Fever for updates and battle reports as they come in.

Visual History of a Codex - Tyranids

Hey all,

Agni Prime here. I started down a trygon hole, and ended up with a visual history of the Tyranid Codex. Pretty interesting stuff to know how long this has been around. 18 years in the making, and what a way it's come.

Tyranid Codex 5th Edition (2010) Tyranid Codex 4th Edition (2005) Tyranid Codex 3rd Edition (2001)
Tyranid Codex 2nd Edition (1995) Tyranid Codex 1st Edition (1992) First Appearance - Space Hulk (1989)

If anyone else interested in more info on their specific codex, here's my point of reference:

Edit: Here is a much better point of reference:

Tyranids - Cabin Fever 1850 pts list

Old School Tyranid Codex
2nd Ed. (1995)
The road to Cabin Fever is under way!

Moros and I have come up with a plan to ensure we have the most fun possible at this event.

In order to do so, I need a 1850 point army.

Here is what I have come up with so far.

Comments / suggestions are welcome!


Agni Prime Tyranids - 1850 Points - Tyranid Army Manager v3

Thousand Sons Forge World Dreadnought Complete!


Hey Guys Moros Here!

I apologize for the lack of posts lately, I've been crazy busy working on my daemons army and getting ready for our upcoming tourney. But more on that later! I'm gettin' back in the saddle and bustin' out the rest of my Ahriman's Renegades themed Chaos Space Marines force.

Here are some pics of my latest work, a Forge World Thousand Sons Dreadnought. Let me know what you think!


I'm looking to post more regularly now. I just finished modeling my Khrone Themed Daemons army. It's lookin' pretty brutally awesome if I don't say so myself :) Keep an eye peeled in a few days for some pics of them!

Hive Fleet Agni - Paint Scheme


Agni Prime here of Hive Fleet Agni,

I am beginning to think about painting my units, as I prepare for Cabin Fever in January. The above is a screenshot of myself in Dawn of War 2. I used the Army Painter to come up with ideas, and I ended up with "Chaos Black" for the body and "Golden Yellow" as the highlights.

What do you guys think?

Here is option 2:

I love it when a plan comes together


Over the last few weeks I've been trying to hone my game and get a grasp of some of the finer points of 40k. I've been doing lots of reading and testing to try to come up with some standard formations that I can deploy on the fly based on what I'm up against. I haven't come up with a plan of attack for every situation, but here is what I've come up with so far.

These formations are designed to work with my 2000 point list for Ahriman's Renegades. Now my list has some decent firepower at range with 5 twin-linked lascannons, 3 battle cannons, and 3 havoc launchers. I also can use 3 bolts of change from 24" so as enemies approach I've got some nice killing power also. My general plan is to milk my range attacks and soften up the opponent. I know versus some of the new armies like IG and wolves I will still be at a disadvantage, but its the best I can do with my Thousand Sons theme :)

Formation #1 - Phalanx

Usage - Spearhead deployment missions.

There are two different ways to use this formation with my army. First, before you decide how you will line up you must look at what you're up against. The main thing to look out for when you are a castle up and fire kind of army imo is outflankers toting melta. They can really rain on your parade.

If the enemy DOES have and outflanking element or you suspect that they will be reserving a good amount of their forces I deploy like this.

Here you can see the object is to stay away from the table edges to create the maximum amount of distance between you and enemy outflankers. You will also want to deploy your objectives accordingly if this is your plan by trying to make sure that at least half of them are located somewhere near the middle of the board.

You move your forces into the center of the board and prepare to receive the enemy all the while firing off the long range shots to take out any enemies down range. When the outflankers to arrive you have the troops engage them supported by the defilers.

The Dreadnoughts press into the enemy mid-field and deployment zone if you can, they are basically a distraction for the enemy and hopefully they can even manage to knock out some pesky reserve units.

The second way to use this formation is if the enemy is not going to be fielding outflanking troops. You would deploy your forces like this and attempt to move up your flank keeping your main force together and away from the enemy.

The goal here is to change the flow of the game. Normally you will be fighting along the short table edge (48"). At this range pretty much all of the enemies weapons will easily be in range. When you move your fire base up the flank of the board what you're doing is changing the flow of the game to the long table edge. This army has lots of long range weapons that can reach out and touch the enemy from 72". So use it to your advantage. You should be getting off a good 2 to 3 turns of shooting before they get near you, then you can unload your troops and terminators to meet the assaulting forces. Backed up by defilers, even Thousand Sons are nasty in combat.

The other nice thing about this is now your foe has to basically redeploy his entire force because in just one simple turn of moving you've just shut down his entire right flank as they are very far away from you. You will create a traffic jam if he has lots of vehicles and could even land some side armor shots if you're really lucky.

The one weakness of this is if your opponent reserves a lot of his forces. They will be coming out right ontop of you. Now, this may not be a bad thing because you will have your forces all in one block. You should still be able to bring a great deal of hurt on them. But it is a risk.

I will be looking at some other formation types in the future. These are meant to help me with my game. I'm finding that when I am going into matches sometimes I do poorly because of bad deployment. This is meant to give me a plan of action as the battle begins so that I can more clearly direct my forces. I really need this with my overpriced and under performing units. I've found the only real way to get them to be effective is to have them work together as best they can.

Do you guys have a plan of action coming into the game? Or you a fly by the seat of your pants kinda player? Let me know your tactics and strategies!

This list is modeled off of Fritz's null zone deployment. What do you guys think? It's really quite awesome when the death leaper makes it in first, and if not, when he ninja's a point on the last turn.

Space Marine Head

 Just drew up a space marine helmet for fun lol. I just put the colors on to differentiate the pieces of the thing any suggestions on what chapter I should use for colors?


I I think I'm going to do shadowing and battle damage in photoshop after I get the final nice looking one done. As is I think it looks very cartoony, maybe I should do some comics
.
Dark Angels helmet, Brother Cornelius do you approve?

Made up a Chainsword too

What's On The Workbench? - Khorne Daemons!

Hey guys! Moros here!

I just wanted to drop a line and keep you informed on my progress! As of now Brother C. and I have entered into a blood pact. He is going to finish painting his DA list and I am going to finish painting Ahriman's Renegades by the end of the month. We are both pretty close to our goal! I only have 2 Rhinos, the Land Raider, and 3 Defilers left to go! So wish us luck on that.

Also, the meat and potatoes of this post, the new project I've been working on. My Khorne themed Chaos Daemons army. I am still coming up with some background fluff and whatnot and they are very early stages. I have done a bunch of testing with this list and it works really well versus most conventional gun line type lists. Its a difficult list to play and requires a lot of setting up when playing. Basically have to set the stage for an overwhelming mid-late game assault and pretty much cripple or table the opponent. Here are some WIP shots!!!





Here is what I'm runnin'

HQ - 520

Skarbrand - 300

Herald of Khorne - 110
+Chariot
+Fury of Khorne
+Unholy Might

Herald of Khorne - 110
+Chariot
+Fury of Khorne
+Unholy Might

Elites - 405

3x Bloodcrushers - 135
+Fury of Khorne
+Instrument of Chaos

3x Bloodcrushers - 135
+Fury of Khorne
+Instrument of Chaos

3x Bloodcrushers - 135
+Fury of Khorne
+Instrument of Chaos

Troops - 512

8x Bloodletters - 128

8x Bloodletters - 128

8x Bloodletters - 128

8x Bloodletters - 128

Heavy - 560

Daemon Prince - 150
+Iron Hide
+Unholy Might
+Mark of Khorne
+Instrument of Chaos

Daemon Prince - 205
+Wings
+Iron Hide
+Unholy Might
+Mark of Khorne

Daemon Prince - 205
+Wings
+Iron Hide
+Unholy Might
+Mark of Khorne

Total - 1997

There are some inherent weaknesses. Fast armies and armies with high init are going to be a big problem for me. Anybody that has some high mobility firepower is going to do a number on me. The saving grace is the winged princes are great for taking down most vehicles and jetbike type units. Also, I know that if I do get into cc its pretty much going to die!

It's a fun, fluffy list that I am having a total blast building and play-testing. I hope to have the entire army done in a month or two. I only need two more models, the heralds on chariots. I just need to pick up 1 more plastic bloodcrusher pack and the tomb kings chariots from the fantasy line and I'll be all done.

Keep an eye peeled for more on these guys and some back story coming! I haven't forgotten about Ahriman's Renegades! But I just had to do this army!

Let me know what you think, comments appreciated!

Pegasus Hobbies Terrain Kit Unboxing

Well I guess I don't need to say much. Unboxing of Chemical plant and Large Platformer sets from Pegasus Hobbies. Also a quick Showcase of homemade terrain I've been working  on. If you like the shirt I'm wearing in the video they are only $11 and the profits go to Lancashire Gaming leave a comment below if you would like one.

Spent most of yesterday making some more terrain for the upcoming 40k day. 


I made the sand bags out a material called paper clay and used the back of a piece of hardboard to give it some texture. The floor is a tiled plastic sheet that I bought at a local hobby shop, you might be able to find it at a craft store too. I want to add rubble in between the pieces of the floor, and do something for the outer base. 


The railing and ladders are made from 1/2" wire mesh that I bought at a Hardware store for 10 bucks, and I still have more than I think I will ever need.
