The Road to Downfall

Well i think the blog needed a bit of an overhaul which i will be implementing and testing over the coming weeks. Im shifting the focus back primarily to my chaos, so i thought the blog should change too, 13 years of primarily khornate armies for chaos does have its influence.


Secindly my gaming group, the Border Princes is hosiing its 3rd proper tournament this december, and finally i have managed to book the time off work to attend.


As such my Chaos needs a few additions as all cavalry doesnt work as well in 8th edition. Here is the first list to build from below.

Progress

Well my Inquisitor and retinue is virtually built. I say retinue there are enough for a few diffrent builds depending on what role i use her for. Currently with the latest Inquisition rumours regarding the hopefully forthcoming Grey Knights i am holding off somewhat on buying my storm troopers, i have decided to focus for the short term on expanding the Ecclesiarchical side of my Witch Hunters, i have bought an Immolator/Rhino as well as the first box of Flagellents to convert into Zealots. I am planning a full unit of twenty with 2 flamers and 4 fanatics with Eviscerators for a grand total of 172 points, it will hit reasonably hard in combat with the eviscerators, and will act as a good meat shield or speed bump as required. Hopefully i will have some pictures up soon now i have my camera back.

With the talk of Dark Eldar for autumn time on BoLS i will begin building my Kabal over the spring and summer. so i have a basis to develop from with the new codex and models.
Therefore in the meantime i will expand my small SoB army with more inquisition troops and possibly Valks using the I as an airborne counter point to my foot/rhino SoBs

Damn Internet

Well after numerous internet problems i finally have a partial service back. So i can finally update my blog.

The initial 2k WoC list i have been using has worked a treat. Especially the Warshrine, it has worked far better than i imagined that it would. Both in terms of the boost it gives to units as well as its physical presence.

Well now is the next decision which army shall i plan to build either the foot WoC, Infantry heavy Daemons or Beastmen for fantasy. Im still planning the non-imperial decision for 40k as well as redeveloping my Witchunters.

Planning Warriors of Chaos Part 4

Well I have now bought and built most of my 2000point list from this post http://ironhands-ironhearts.blogspot.com/2009/12/planning-warriors-of-chaos-part-3.html. I only have the Warshrine left to plan, buy and build. Now here is the issue, I have two ideas for the warshrine.

The first is a simple modification of the High Elf Lion Chariot, with both White Lions merged together into a Black, Two-Headed, Flaming Mutant Lion pulling the chariot base with a mound of skulls and an icon of Khorne with a Warrior made from Harry the Hammer with marauder horsemen arms and the classic Khorne Hero head.

The second is a more elaboarate idea based off the chassis for the screaming bell/plague furnace, with a spawn or two pulling the shrine and a similar skulls/icon to the first idea.

I will muse further on the design and try to post more detailed ideas/pictures.
