Stelek's 6+6: Chaos Spess Mehriens 1500pts

From this:
http://yesthetruthhurts.com/2011/02/chaos-using-the-66-and-the-42/

To this:

Chaos Space Marines 6+6: 1500pts
HQ - 105
Lord w/ Power Weapon - 105

Elites - 210
Dread w/ TLAC & ML - 110
Dread w/ CCW & ML - 100

Raptors - 120
- 5 bods, 2x Meltagun

Heavy Support - 260
Autolas Pred - 130
Autolas Pred - 130


Is it still 6+6?

Anti-tank:
2 Preds
2 Raptors
1 Dread

Anti-infantry:
2 Noise Marines1 Dread

Plus the CSMs, who can RF at stuff or Melta things.

I would've preferred to have kept the Greater Daemon - or at the very least got a flying DP to replace him - but couldn't make it fit in a way that appealed to me.


Runs much the same way as Stelek's, in case you're wondering, however the loss of the Vindicator means you haven't really got a big fat 'Shoot Me Plz!' vehicle to put in midfield.  Your choices are either make do and mend, or alternatively ditch a CSM death-ride and bring the Vindicator.

Motherf--

Finding out Matt Ward is writing the GK Codex has put a right old damper on my passion to re-do my GKs; given his efforts thus far in 5th I have difficulty believing the book will be about anything other than selling DreadKnight kits (which, by the way, look like fucking Optimus Prime), that the army will be anything other than bland and soulless, or that he will be able to resist the desire to make GKs an Ultramarines successor Chapter and retcon the Inquisition so it was invented by some Sergeant from the Third Company.  Or maybe Rowboat himself.

So bollocks to it, it's Dark Eldar time!

I haven't really digested the Codex yet but as near as I can tell it is yet more Phil Kelly filth in much the same style as the Space Wolves book; lots of bodies, lots of guns, lots of options, however where the Wolves can spread the hate throughout the entire army the Sexy Elves seem to be more about specialisation, and avoiding damage altogether rather than soaking it in stoic, mean-bastard Space Viking style.

I'mma get on that now.  Lists... soon.

Preparing For GK Codex Stage 2


Here you see approximately 1100 points of my 1500pt pure Grey Knight army, stripped and ready for repainting.

I'm guessing GKs in power armour will be Elites or Nemesis Force Weapons will cost 30pts per model in the new book.  Otherwise I would be able to use my old models to make a new army, and Jervis won't allow that (cf. Blood Angels Death Company).

Preparing For GK Codex Stage 1






Betazone; kills all known 8 year old paintjobs dead.  Also looks like piss and smells like a hospital, hence the butty box with airtight lid.

Enjoy your bath, Justicar Failbot!

There's already a drum-beating gorilla, all the Proddy Boys need now is a flute-playing lion and the Fenians will be completely fucked.

Space Wolves - The DogStar 1500pts

Just some stupid rubbish.  It is very bad, but if you're one of those goons who insists that TWC can only work with Storm Shields you might get a kick out of it:

HQ - 335
Wolf Lord - 235
- TW Mount, Storm Shield, Frost Blade, SotWarrior Born
Rune Priest w/ powers or whatever - 100

Troops - 450
Grey Hunters - 150
- 5 bods, Flamer, Las/ Plas RB
Grey Hunters - 150
- 5 bods, Flamer, Las/ Plas RB
Grey Hunters - 150
- 5 bods, Flamer, Las/ Plas RB
Grey Hunters - 150
- 5 bods, Flamer, Las/ Plas RB

Fast Attack - 360
TWC - 360
- 4 bods, 4 Storm shields, 1x Thunder Hammer, 1x Meltabombs, 1x Mark

Heavy Support - 195
Long Fangs - 65
- 2x ML
Long Fangs - 65
- 2x ML
Long Fangs - 65
- 2x ML


Alternatively drop a TWC model and plough more points into the Lord.  Or drop two and bring a WGBL.

Any way you slice it it's a fail list, but it has a big Cavalry Deathstar.  So... y'know.  Lol.

My Wolves - A Rejig

HQ - 320
Rune Priest w/ Tempest's Wrath, Living Lightning
Wolf Lord w/ TW Mount, Frost Blade, Storm Shield, 2x Wolves

Elites - 215
Wolf Guard
- 3x PAWG w/ combi-melta
- 1x TAWG w/ Chainfist & Storm Shield
- 1x TAWG w/ CML, Storm Shield & Wolf Claw

Troops - 685
3 of:
Grey Hunters - 115
- 5 bods, Meltagun. Rhino
2 of:
Grey Hunters - 160
- 5 bods, Plasma Gun, Las/ Plas RB

Fast Attack - 105
TWC x1 w/ PFist & SS

Heavy Support - 195
3 of:
Long Fangs
- 2x ML

It breaks down like this:
- Wolf Lord & the TWC dude
- Rune Priest and the Chainfist in one of the 5-man GH footsloggers
- Cyclone WG with the other 5-man GH footsloggers
- Two Razorbacks
- Three combi-Melta WG with the three Meltas-In-A-Box GH packs
- Three Long Fangs packs

The basic idea is this; I have 5 vehicles and lots of bodies.  40 to be exact, plus the little Cavalry unit, which is basically a Monstrous Creature that will come and get you if you don't deploy properly.  And even if you do.

It still needs tweaks but I think it fits better into the Space Wolves themes of flexibility and 'fucking shit everywhere goddamn' than the last list did.

Also hidden Chainfist lol.

More or less the same cake thrice, just different icing.

50+ MEQ bodies plus 12 Missiles plus Meltaguns plus Jump Packs plus a Librarian.  Maybe scary, maybe not.  I like them though.
