Necrons Vs Orks 750pts (game two)

Nick speaking, After our first 750pt game where I shot out the Orks pretty quickly, I was raring to get my Foot Necron list on the table. My buddy had different ideas though, and he wanted another bite at the cherry against my Mech list. I of course, accepted his challenge and we swapped sides for another game. We ended up just leaving...

Necrons Vs Orks 750pts (game one)

Nick speaking, Time for some Waaagh... I had a gaming night the other day with my buddy, and he was keen to try out his Orks for the first time in 6th Edition. We decided to play a few 750pt games using the Battleforce Recon mission rules. We deployed using a standard pitch battle format instead of the corners, as the small deployment...

Footdar First!

Nick speaking,  Right, the next stage for the IDIC Eldar is a foot list. There are a few reasons for me taking my Eldar in this direction. First, I am still unsure how to run my Harlequin themed list in 6th Edition, where two groups of Pathfinders are just not going to cut it anymore. So, I want to try out foot Guardians and Dire...

Mawloc Battle Report Vs Sisters of Battle

Nick speaking, This is my first game with the Nid 'Loc List' as previously posted about. I end up playing a Sisters of Battle army with Grey Knights Allies. Draigo and two units of ten Terminators head up this Sisters army, which means I will desperately need first turn so that I can burrow my Mawlocs and make full use of my Hive Guard...

Mawloc list

Nick speaking,  Right, let’s get on with a list for my Mawlocs, this will be the first time I have used my magnetised Trygon models as Mawlocs, so I am pretty excited at trying them out now that they have had a bit of a boost in 6th Edition. I also want to use this new list to incorporate my recently painted Winged Hive Tyrant,...

Which Eldar Support Gun?

Nick speaking, So let’s talk about Eldar Support Weapons, and this is where I am looking for some feedback on your experiences as I haven’t really used them before. It seems to me that 6th Edition has made the Support Weapon a serious contender in the Heavy Support slot of the Eldar Codex, especially if you consider how cheap they are....

Mawloc Time!

Nick speaking, Watching some units get better is one of the great things about a new edition rule book in 40k. I know of course that some units also get worse, sorry Banshees, but it’s great to find some of my once unused units, get to the point of being pretty good on the table. One such unit being the Mawloc, which I am now very pleased...

IDIC Eldrad is Next...

Nick speaking, As many of you know, I am a massive fan of batch painting. I personally find it more rewarding than painting one mini at a time. I also find it’s the best way to get an army to all look the same as such, and once a unit is complete, it really feels like a big achievement to me. Having said all that, my next painting project...

Eldar Vs Blood Angels (500pt Battleforce Recon)

Nick speaking, Continuing on from my first game of the Battleforce Recon mission, where I nearly got tabled by a Henchman Grey Knight army. I take my Eldar up against Blood Angels to see if I can do any better. We had a lot of fun playing these 500 point games and if you haven't already tried out the mission, I would recommend you have...

Eldar Vs Grey Knights (500pt Battleforce Recon)

Nick speaking, I had my first couple of games of the Battleforce Recon mission the other day. It has to be said that 40k at 500 points is always good fun and it is really great to see that GW has included one of these missions in the 6th Edition rule book. The first game I played on the night was against a Grey Knight force with Draigo,...

Swooping Hawkes finished!

Nick speaking, Wow, I had no idea how time consuming these minis where going to be to paint. The amount of time it took to just paint the wings was epic, but I really wanted to do these fantastic looking models some justice, so I put in the time and effort to get them looking as good as I could. I have two units of six with an Exarch...
