Actually, re-reading your description I'm tending towards DCA....arco-flag would have the PW right? Uncanny means nothing to me One of those new-fangledf things they brought in since RT right

Uncanny is 5++, a really good fit - and we came to the general agreement that DCA was more apt (Power Claws!).

Didn't help mind you, still got eaten by genestealers

So yeah, it was great fun. First scenario played a co-op game, both retinue back to back, fighting off half a dozen stealers each - you controlled your own retinue and the stealers attacking your "teammate". I was paired with the most experienced/other older player, which was great as he kept me right on the rules. His Xenos warband was very cool, with a power armoured warrior that fought off most of the stealers and an Arco that got almost immediately shredded my lot did well: puppy rolled abysmally to wound and got eaten whilst the rest of the team sniped away, 3 taken out by the Apprentice alone! We won our game, with lowest wounds taken by my lot so placing us top of the table! Huzzah!

On to game 2...
This split the top 3 (old uns) and bottom 4 (2 younger players and 2 store staff - coincidence? ) hunting treacherous planetary governor and his doppelgangers. You could shoot other players' models, with wounds causing them to lose 2" move in next turn (suppressive fire, essentially). This led to much chasing around the tables, although my Apprentice took out a doppelganger with the first shot of the game (which turned out to be the target!) In the other game, hellrifles were used to great effect - range over 18" is scary in 4x4 boards.
Anyway, my luck meant that I came out with full vps in both game - Winning the night overall! Shocking!
!


Thanks

Thanks gits! Ninjad Me there! I had a blast, great fun, and when the rules go up for general play I shall share - buckets of fun!

and just for you...

I really did, and I was ridiculously chuffed to do so well. It's interesting because it was entirely about tactics (well, and a little luck). It really makes me want to play kill team, and more 40k generally.

Next. Enlist others!

So this is where the retinue are hiding out! The Interrogator is my favourite, love the bolter. I think I might have to steal this idea.

The storm bolter on the serg actually fits now he is painted, the wires make me think its some sort of suspensor unit.

The drab browns really work and the dash of red on the Inquisitor's jacket lining gives it a little pop.

So...big plume of smoke coming out of the trukk I'm guessing?

And what happened to the ewok/grot idea..wasn't that on the cards for this one? Or am I just wish-listing that into being?

Also, be fun to see more Inq kill-teams

Yeah, very cool indeed. They also do treadplate. I'm going to build the back right up with this stuff around the stem as a sealed box essentially, with a battlewagon piece for the roof. I *think* the animosity will fit on the section where the doors go, if that makes sense (front of flatbed section).

Sorry for general lack of updates, busy weekend + poorly little one (chest infection, boo).

But, onwards:

The plastruct arrived, it's pretty nice:

Very thin, but will plate well to a substructure I think.

Speaking of which...

All of the back's getting boxed in around the stem, and plated accordingly

And Valk is definitely not green anymore:




Later peeps!
