however, it is strange that you have so many valks, vendettas and hydras. on vraks, the death korps didnt have any (or at least very few) of those, since air support isnt really needed or useful in trench warfare and the renegades didnt have planes thus no need for hydras.

just a fluff point, is all.

Thats the fault of the codex not the player. An army like this is a great example,the dkok are known for using artillery and yet their are no restrictions on them where this is concerned, There arent chapters within the IG. All weapons are the same, just diff colors.In fact I cant find most DKOK munitions in any codex except FW. So littleboyblues has made the choices allowed to him from the codex that would actually allow him to play.
Though you raise an interesting point. Many army configs seem less than fluffy. I get the fact that I have to have valks and Hydras in a tourney game if I want to win but what about fluff games and or faction differences? Do any play rule sets include fluff constrictions?

My local games club did and Imperial Guard tournament once in which we had to have a basic backstory and units which applied to it.

It was rather fun, I played an armoured squadron with some infantry support. Didn't have any AA support until about 5 turns into the campaign when I requested one.
Didn't help when I went up against the Airmobile guy, 3 Vet. squads in Valks. Nasty.

That does sound like fun. A good concept, imo.

Loving this Blog, I was very tempted with a DKoK army myself for Christmas but went with a pre heresy Death Guard army instead! Subbed! Loving the Vendettas and the AA theme too!

Wait? What?

Excellent looking army, btw. And I think a little thread necromancy doesn't hurt when it comes to blogs like this. After all, it just means more recognition for the painter/modeler.

Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?

Fething hell, I was going to say something supportive. But I was more concerned, she didn't leave you because of your Hobby did she? Not to be rude, but I do know a few obsessives who don't seem to realise it's only a hobby and wives have threatened to leave the,. Here's to hoping it was just a personal issue and not plastic crack addiction.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

I'm pretty sure he was kidding there. Kinda like a Country song or something.

Very nice.
Fixing to start a DKoK army, myself.

" It says in the rules that if there are no models from one side left on the table, then that side has lost. What it DOESN'T say is that I can't pick my opponent's models up and throw them on the floor, so if I'm losing the game, all I have to do is pick my opponents models up and throw them on the floor, and then I WIN! YAY! Woohoo. Loophole: FOUND! "
