@M.K - Chaos eh? I wouldn't mind trying my hand at the Apostle I think that would be a cool model to paint.

@Graven - That one is easy, Storm Raven!

@Miss Dee - Still need to locate a round shield before I can commit to that build

@Graven - Hmm, let me thing on it, I don't have any plans to do anymore close combat guys just yet (I don't have the supporting warp packs) but I do like the look of the shields!

@M.K - Thanks mate.

@Briancj - Yeah they are very very old

@eldartau1987 - I should be having a game Vs LDP this week or next (his School holidays) but that should be marine vs marine so a bit different than facing a DE army.

@M.K - Thanks mate

@Graven - Thanks, I see that your camera has picked up the pace as well, not using the cellphone camera anymore and yes once I complete the Stormraven another army shot will be forthcoming!

@LDP - Cheers! Were they as awesome in person?

@Gits - Thank you Gits, he's not bad eh

Update:
Well I had a 3000 point game vs Proto and LDP on Saturday which was awesomesauce so much death! but I was knackered after 5 hours of standing so I didn't end up doing much painting at all, Sunday was a day of house work and a little bit of painting but nothing to show yet.

OP Turn 1

My Turn 2
Bikes move to the edge of the board and shoot at Dante killing his last assault marine Ironclad plummets down next to Rhino, scatters closer to the Rhino, dread stomps out and meltas the Rhino, doesn’t penetrate… Hunter Killer missiles fire and pop the Rhino, squad deploys near objective, Purgation move up try to shoot at Dante take a wound off, strike squad move up shoot at Tactical squad do some wounds, interceptor squad warp 30 inches behind the Ultramarine Tactical squad and open up kills 1. Nemesis DreadKnight arrives on pad, doesn’t scatter and proceeds to flame a scout squad into ashes, assault squad move up to before the skypad, lascannon Tactical squad kill off Ultramarine squad and Librarian gribbles the chaplain consolidate closer to pad, Telion and scouts shoot at Blood Angels Tactical squad and kills another


OP Turn 2
Razorback arrives by outflank (warlord trait) but end up on the wrong side shoots at the bike = one dead bike, Dante charges remaining bike and wipes him out. Land raider moves through the ruins and deploys the Hammernaters then kills the remaining purgation marines, Blood Angels tactical squad move up and capture the relic and move 1 inch back (relic must weigh a ton) they shoot at the strike squad and kill one, Librarian dread smashes one more biker but doesn’t hit the assault bike, yay!, two remaining scouts on the pad run to the edge and shoot at the interceptors combined with the Ultramarine Tactical squad they take the squad to 3 marines. The storm raven arrives and zooms behind a building hiding from Telion and his interceptor quad gun


My Turn 3
Dreaknight teleports behind the Hammernaters and flames the Blood Angels tactical squad killing 5, the assault squad jump 12 closer to the relic, lascannon Tactical squad move closer to the raven and try some snap shots, nothing, Librarian runs to help the relic but is left without support. Interceptors fire at the scouts on the pad and fail to do anything, Land speeder moves behind the pad and shoots at the Ultramarine Tactical squad killing 2 when it should have killed the rest, assault squad pistol into Blood Angels squad and kill the remaining troops but are out in the open now. Librarian dread gribbles the assault bike and consolidates below the pad. Telion and the plasma cannon squad put everything into the Hammernaters, yielding great results, killing 4! (Plasma cannon accounting for 2)


OP Turn 3
Razorback moves 6 up spins and deploys command squad all fire at the Nemesis DreadKnight boom a wound down, Landraider move further through the ruins and rotates onto the Dreaknight, boom another wound, Dante moves up beside the Landraider. Ultramarine Tactical squad shoot and assault the interceptors but get killed due to initative 6 power weapon attacks, Stormraven moves into hover, shoots missiles at Nemesis DreadKnight, boom another wound, turns its attention to the Librarian and assault cannons him to death and drops off the death company and dread, dread charges and wipes out the lascannon squad and the death company try to assault the assault marines losing one in overwatch causing them to fail the charge! The Librarian dread decides it’s his turn, tries a bloodlance which is denied by the witch, who needs power when you’re a dreadnaught right? So he charges in and nom noms on 3 assault marines… who can’t hurt it back. The lone Hammernater picks up his nads and charges the Dreakknight who hits 3 times wounds 3 times, stormshield shrugs it off, hammer attacks back, boom, last wound down.


My Turn 4
Paladins arrive and teleport in the center and don’t scatter (mint)and open up on the Hammernater, stormshield just shrugs it off like a boss. The strike squad move bedside the squad and hand over the relic to a Paladin (muhahahah) Interceptors move up and shoot at the death company, along with the Landspeeder, and the plasma cannon Tactical squad, the lose 4 death company, Telion does what he does best and explodes the Stormraven with the quad gun and my psyrifleman dread explodes the death company dread with some sick strength 8 shots to its face. The assault squad loses some more to the Librarian dread.


OP Turn 4
Hammernater decides to save his life and runs to the Landraider which stayed still but fires on the Paladins and kills one, Razorback shoots and blows up the drop pod the command squad open up on the paladins and don’t wound, death company jump and assault the strike squad, losing 2 to the halberds but killing 2 in return, the Librarian dread chews up another assault marine, scouts try to hurt the Landspeeder but fail to do so. Dante assaults the paladins but gets cut down by the titan sword.


My Turn 5
Dragio splits from the Paladins and tries to assault the command squad but fails his charge and takes a wound from over watch, the paladins move 6 towards my defense line, psyrifleman dread moves and shoots at the Landraider taking a hull point to a glance, plasma cannon Tactical squad kill the razorback, interceptors fire at the scouts but don’t hurt them, telion and the scouts try to kill some more command squad but fail. Librarian dread gribbles the last of the Assault marines and moves towards the paladins, Death Company marine kills the last strike marine and moves to ruins.



OP Turn 5
Command squad move to ruins and fire into paladins doing nothing, Landraider shoots into the paladins and kills the hammer, uh oh, the Librarian dread then jumps into range of the paladins and assaults, killing 2 leaving the warding staff apothecary. The Hammernater decides that because he’s killed a Nemesis DreadKnight, Draigo should be a cake walk, so disembarks and charges, stalemate.

My Turn 6
Psyrifleman also opens up on the Landraider doing another hull, Landspeeder moves to beside the Landraider and opens up with a melta and blows it up. The plasma Tactical squad decides the death company marine has been around long enough and remove him from play. The interceptors charge after shooting at the command squad and leave only the captain left, but can’t kill him. The Librarian dread doesn’t kill the apothecary.


OP Turn 6
Hammernater continues to beat on Draigo but neither can kill each other yet, captain wipes out an interceptor, the Librarian dread however kills the warding staff and moves away from the objective ready to bloodlance the bollocks off of whoever tries for the relic


My Turn 7
Scout squad move out from cover leaving Telion close enough to the quad gun but can still cap the relic, the Tactical squad move out and provide a super human shield, Landspeeder moves behind the Librarian dread and with the combined fire from Telion and the psyrifleman dread wreck the Librarian dread, captain and Inteceptors continue to battle but no one else dies. Draigo tries as hard as he can but cannot kill the heroic hammernator.
