The Year of the Wolf (21)

Nick speaking,

Back to painting my first unit of Long Fangs for my 13th Company Space Wolves army. So far I have base coated pretty much everything and I am ready for the washes. I am really enjoying these guys and only painting a small unit of five makes a nice change to the ten man Grey Hunter squads. Next is to wash them, then the hard works begins, highlighting...

IDICBeer/IDICBeer Jr Vs Table Top Banter (Warhammer 40k Battle Report)

Nick speaking,

Time for my son and I to battle it out against Callum and Harry from Table Top Banter, I always knew this would be a fantastic game, and it didn't let my expectations down at all! My son and I had so much fun teaming our armies up and we can't wait to do it again soon. I hope you enjoy the battle report as much as we enjoyed the game...

IDICBeer and IDICBeerJr Join Forces - Our 2k List revealed!

Nick speaking,

Yes that's right, my son and I are no longer going to battle it out against each other. We are going to join forces to take on the guys from Table Top Banter, Callum and Harry. I have already played Callum, and we had a lot of fun, so I can only imagine how great this pairs battle is going to be. If you haven't already checked out the Table Top Banter Channel, then please do so here, oh, and they also have a nice looking Blog which Harry looks after.

So, what is our list going to be? Well, as you can see from the picture above, I am going to play my Eldar, Callum hasn't seen my army before, and I thought it would be cool to play my Bat'leth Wraithknight and converted Crimson Hunter, just for the sight on the table. Jetbikes seem to be the obvious Troops choice and I threw in some Swooping Hawks, just for fun.

As for my son, he wanted to play a bit of a death star unit, so he went for Tiggy and Centurions in a pod, backed up my Tacticals and bikes! Our plan? I will push forward with the Wraithknight, along with all the Marines and deal out as much damage as we can. In the meantime, my Jetbikes will do their usual tricks offering some long range support and taking objectives, with the Crimson Hunter and Swooping Hawks adding what they can to the big push as and when they come in!

Here is our final list, this is going to be fun...

The Webways are Opening! #3 kabalite Warriors!

Nick speaking,

Continuing on with the Dark Eldar project of making a five hundred point army for £25.00! So, after my three Venom conversions, my next task was to get the Warriors and Wyches together with all the correct gun options, some of which I got from a very generous friend of mine on YouTube, WarGames, for free and an already painted Archon from my good buddy Aceface. Here are the Warriors that I had to build, now to do the Wyches and see if I can get some Raiders with my last £11.01 to put them in!
