Chaos Space Marines Vs Necrons (Black Toad Studio Battle Report)

Nick speaking,

Time for the battle report of the game I had against Dom from Black Toad Studios. We both had a fantastic day and I really enjoyed playing again his Chaos Space Marine army. It was stunningly painted and Dom was a gentleman to play against. Don't forget to check out the Black Toad YouTube Channel and give him a sub. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the battle report...

Living Tomb Formation - Showcase

Nick speaking,

Here we go, I have finally finished painting up my Living Tomb Formation. The Obelisk is totally magnetised to be a Tesseract Vault, so I have painted all the extras as well, including the Transcendent C'tan. Very happy to have these finished and I can't wait to play them in a game sometime soon!

Living Tomb Formation - C'tan and Base Started

Nick speaking,

I know the Transcendent C'tan isn't actually part of the formation, but as my Obelisk is magnetised into the Vault, I want to paint the C'tan up at the same time, plus I think I am probably going to feature him in my Living Tomb list somehow anyway! It took me a long time to figure out how I was going to paint this bad boy, but I have finally decided to go with a metal body and have it morphing into green on the power tendrils! So far I have just done the metal, but I think my scheme is going to work quite nicely...

As for the base for the Obelisk/Vault, I thought it would be pretty cool to use the extra Scarabs and Vault pieces I didn't use from the kit and make a little Swarm of Scarabs that would follow the Vault, repairing it as it moved along. The base is done and I am pleased with how it is looking, I just need to paint it now...

Flayed One Final List for first game with BlackToad Studio

Nick speaking,

One of the things I love about my Blog and YouTube Channel is the ability to find other fellow gamers and hobbyists that I would never have found without the internet. The greatest thing though, is when you have a chance to actually play a game of 40k with that person. I have already played Aceface, Commissar Warwick and the boys from Table Top Banter, but now it's time to test my gaming skills against Dom from Black Toad Studio

To be fair, Dom and I are just having a friendly game and I am very much looking forward to see his nicely painted army on my gaming table. Of course, I don't know which army I will be facing, but you can see all the great armies on the Black Toad YouTube Channel, so it's well worth checking out if you haven't done so already. As for me, I plan on taking my full and final 2k Necron Flayed One themed army...

Yes, after a lot of tweaks and changes, I finally have what I would consider a final army, well, until GW change the rules again. To be honest, there isn't much change from my previous list, The only change is splitting up the sixty Flayed Ones into six units of ten rather than three units of twenty. I do love the idea of the big units I had, and seeing them on the table was fun, but six smaller units will be a lot better on the table when it comes to mission objectives, especially in Maelstrom games. Dom and I will roll off to see what type of mission we will play on the day, but either way, I think this list will cope with both mission types pretty well...
