I know..blasphemy talking about the space vampires on a site dedicated to the Ultramarines. But with a flashy new codex and unpainted astartes in boxes or partially put together I couldn't resist starting a Blood Angels army.<br /><br />I mean who can resist deep striking land raiders and heaven forbid when the storm raven is unleashed. While i am not a big assault guy - I think the assault phase in 40k is just way overpowered and the rules have diminished shooting. Can we say overwatch or enfiliading fire? well be that as it may I have decided to try to build a 1850 BA army. I am going to attempt to use regular blood angels as well as a squad or two of Lamenters in creating the army to add some flavor. However as you all know yellow is a pain to get right.<br /><br />I will be posting some photos of my newly painted red land raider very soon and my thoughts on my army list as well. I want to have a group of gritty urban based Blood Angels that look like they have been in contiuous combat operations for weeks, no shiny new armor for these boys I encvision them to be covered in grime and their armor being scarred and battle worn.Venerable Brotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418335918453138064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369681402211597766.post-51711342816183844482010-02-21T10:24:00.002-06:002010-02-21T10:37:21.647-06:00Practice Round for Ard Boyz 2010<span style="font-family:arial;">Tried out the following army list for the upcoming 'Ard Boyz tournament:</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Pedro Kantor</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Darnath Lysander</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">3 x 10man Sternguard with 4 combimeltas per squad w drop pods</span><br /> <span style="font-family:arial;">Sgt with Powerfist in all squads</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">2 x 10 man Tac squds with drop pods</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Missle Launcher/ Flamer</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"> Plasma Cannon/ Flamer</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"> Sgts with Powerfists in all squads</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">1 x 10 man Assault Squad with two flamers</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"> Sgt Storm Shield/ Power weapon</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Melta Attack Bike</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">3Vindicators with Siege Shields</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">total 2500 points</span>Venerable Brotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418335918453138064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369681402211597766.post-41633945147285610042009-07-19T17:48:00.008-05:002009-07-20T13:29:10.871-05:00War of the Ring continued.Here are some pics from the Forces of Good I have set up in the small battle scene referenced in my previous post.

It was a team matchup - two to a side with 1850 per player. I played 'Nids and my teammate played nurgle chaos marines, we matched up against Dark Angels and Eldar. I hope to get pictures posted in the future.<br /><br />From the outset I really liked the concept of the game mechanics, nothing better than having an attacker and defender with different force organization charts, however I think it is important not to go into playing Planetstrike that this is a finely tuned and balanced set of rules - it is not. That does not mean that it isn't fun, because it is. You just need to think of Planetstrike as a formalized means to play some really cool narrative games. Also I believe that the supplement can benefit from your own house rules depending on how your gaming group playsVenerable Brotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418335918453138064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369681402211597766.post-48333634915509116922009-03-18T15:45:00.002-05:002009-03-18T16:00:37.639-05:00Upcoming<span style="font-family:arial;">I have been away for a while.. why is it so hard to download pictures? I have taken a bunch of pictures that I need to post on various subjects. some of the projects I want to talk about that are non-UM related include my Tau force.. I am in the process of repainting them and putting them on urban type bases. I also have an Ork force lurking which I want to get done. My Tyranid force is about 80% completed so I need to finish that. Of course there are my numerous UM projects I need to finish... I just rec'd my Prometheus conversion kit for my UM command landraider as welll as finishing up my Vanguard vets...the list is pretty long as to what I need to finish... This is not to mention not one but two LOTR forces I am trying to get done for the soon to be released War of the Ring. I haven't tried WFB, just could never pull the trigger but LOTR seems to be a good compromise withthe WoR ruleset. I have a mordor and a gondor force in the works. I am also working on a LOTR style board to play. Oh yeah I just rec'd my stompa and my stormlord in the mail.... I should have it all done by 2010... If I am lucky... I will post my progress</span>Venerable Brotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418335918453138064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369681402211597766.post-84339331288442022312008-11-12T22:05:00.005-06:002008-11-13T11:30:34.557-06:00Project: Sternguard Conversion<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWBPTgv64FBNkmFFodfkh7kWnhnqj55_Fa6HMXRytl8Dv4UTmQ-a2dL3kKPeADNh96lafbuWAQB1aV3DPiaiyXicTBao0ltuiHq5gMBDUwbTXmR3hwV35V5sB1ktNe618t2Ucd76DK2do/s1600-h/Sgt+Octavion+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267988661385181874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWBPTgv64FBNkmFFodfkh7kWnhnqj55_Fa6HMXRytl8Dv4UTmQ-a2dL3kKPeADNh96lafbuWAQB1aV3DPiaiyXicTBao0ltuiHq5gMBDUwbTXmR3hwV35V5sB1ktNe618t2Ucd76DK2do/s320/Sgt+Octavion+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg63e-Oh1J8GsHTUqUN3mxRG9BiCHTzgZmfwjz7VeRk1rrEs5kB180z8OjJX0iPCmOjPCnRgetuCuHyRcPRbio7J7F_sAr4SRqHSNd-wclcgriwKOUeQGNJp-e1cEGBpbutK1JwQsuerU4/s1600-h/Sgt+Demetrius+Octavion+Sternguard.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267988534150986034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg63e-Oh1J8GsHTUqUN3mxRG9BiCHTzgZmfwjz7VeRk1rrEs5kB180z8OjJX0iPCmOjPCnRgetuCuHyRcPRbio7J7F_sAr4SRqHSNd-wclcgriwKOUeQGNJp-e1cEGBpbutK1JwQsuerU4/s320/Sgt+Demetrius+Octavion+Sternguard.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">This is the first of my converted Sternguard.
