It's just practice, practice, practice.

I don't know about the other guys but for my Tau my skills are actually quite a bit lower than my experience would imply. There are people winning Golden Demon with 3-5 years mini painting experience and I've been painting since 1995 and haven't won anything but best painted in local tournaments.

4 player game, my deathwatch (white scars) and khain's eldar vs chimera's ultramarines with inquisition and thanos's daemons with chaos marine allies. 1500pts per player.

2 games, first one vs skimask mohawk's raven guard, second vs desc's iron hands. Both games were 1500pts. Skimask ran a pretty crazy list, 6 dev centurions and 10 TH/SS terminators, was a pretty damn good game, skimask took it in the end after kicking my ass pretty good. Desc also kicked my ass pretty good, very interesting game, I made a few mistakes early on, especially with where I put my thunderfire and vindicator. Great games all round.


I've had some requests to do a wide shot of the table so I did a bunch of shots all round to give an idea of what the table looked like. Big los blockers for the win!

Word reaches ultramar and the sons of guilliman and their ordos xenos allies mount an assault on the chaos forces.

The game was 3000pts per side (1500pts per player). On the imperial side was myself playing my deathwatch (white scars chapter tactics) and chimera playing his ultramarines. On the chaos side marduk was playing is khorne marines and thanos was playin his daemons. Basically we put a chaos shrine in the center of the table, it was worth 6vp, each player then placed an objective wherever they wanted on the board. It was a complete bloodbath, came down to no one holding any objectives, chaos had 3vp, 1 from first blood and 2 from the two warlords. Imperials had 2vp, 1 from warlord and 1 from line breaker. Pretty crazy. I haven't played a game this close in a while.

LOL! That Marbo movie picture is a nice touch to the scenery. I guess Chaos wanted to cut in line and the loyalists took offense at the idea? How do you make those cards to stick onto scenary for that extra touch? Edit them in Microsoft Word and print them out?

Basically I just print on card stock, doesn't need to be too thick. Gotta use a high dpi though, like 300 ish. The nice thing about the card stock is it works really well with super glue so it goes on terrain real easy. Here's a link to the posters if you wanna print some http://s37.photobucket.com/user/bulimic_possum/library/40k%20posters?sort=2&page=1#/user/bulimic_possum/library/40k%20posters?sort=2&page=1&_suid=138905769961705564832907866104

2000pts game between An00bis's tau and my deathwatch (white scars trait). Was a good game, very back and forth. I managed to pull off some bs with my captain but it was damn close, he almost got one shotted by longstrike. In the end it was tau 1vp to deathwatch 5vp. An00bis got first blood wrecking my storm with his broadsides. I held the objective in my zone and had linebreaker and warlord. My warlord managed to take the tau off one objective and then proceeded to contest the other.

How did the Vespid fair? I like the concept but they don't look to be worth their points except in very specific situations.

They did ok, sucked up a decent amount of firepower, they didn't kill too much. I like that they're immune to dangerous and have stealth in ruins. They could be interesting in bigger games, not really worth the points. I love the paintjob an00bis gave them though.

I keep getting booked on nights and/or weekends so it makes getting ahold of the car a hassle, especially when trying to work out schedules with the other 4 people in my house...

However, I booked off the 14th and 15th so I can head down on one of those 2 days most likely. Just gotta wait til Monday when schedules go up. Anyway, I'm getting in a game with the Nids with another friend before then so hopefully it'll be a better list for that. Can't wait to play, it's been too damn long!

Definitely, should make for a pretty good battle, I find that Nids do better with more points too so that's a plus.
