CODE 40K: I'm Back!

Tuesday, 8 March 2011

I'm Back!

Well after a long break since my last post I thought it was about time I updated everything I've been working on. So here you go!

Cast your minds back to christmas, the best time to be thinking about what projects to start, as if you've been a good boy, Santa Claus might bring you some nice new shiny's!

With my mind focused on the most excellent Spiky Clubs, up and coming SVA Tournament, I was keen to be ready as the last year I was painting right up to the last second.

The last time I took my orks so this time I wanted to take something different for 2 reasons.

First of all I wanted to take something more competitive as although my list previously wasn't terrible, it wasn't really picked to smash the opposition to bits. So I'm flicking through various Codex' for inspiration & what I'd need to make a competitive Tournament Army. I asked myself "Whats a really competitive (cheesy) army that is quite forgiving and means I won't get my ass handed to me like last time?"

"DOUBLE LASH"........oooh thats a bit cheesy I thought.........oh well....

Ok so I wasn't going to make any new friends but hey, friends are overrated ;-)

So with no apologies intended, I went for the following ballbusting, no god preference, beast of a cheese list: -

Chaos Space Marines 2000pts List

2 Daemon Princes (Mark of Slannesh, Double Lash, Wings)

Greater Daemon

7 Nurgle Plague Marines (Champ - Powerfist,Melta) 1

Rhino (Extra Armour)

7 Nurgle Plague Marines (Champ - Powerfist,Melta) 2

Rhino (Extra Armour)

7 Nurgle Plague Marines (Champion) 3

Rhino

8 Khorne Bezerkers (Champ - PW)

Rhino (Extra Armour)

3 Obliterators

Defiler

The 1500pts version was without the defiler, greater daemon and nurgle/rhino squad 3 & the Oblits are split into 3 squads of 2.

SIMPLES.

So Crimbo came and I hooked myself up with 2 brand new swanky daemon princes and a couple of rhinos and I was ready to start building and painting.

I began painting straight away but with a January 31st honeymoon to Australia for 4 weeks lined up, that was obviously the deadline date. Well as my fellow bloggers will testify, I wouldn't be me, if I didn't leave it all to the last minute. By the deadline date, to give myself credit, I had completed most of it but still needed to finish off a nurgle squad & a rhino. I then decided, after contracting a heavy dose of painting fatigue, It would be best finished when I got back from Oz, and it was.....the night before.....till 6:30am in my pants!!! Suffice to say, the boys weren't too impressed or really surprised for that matter! But hey, all done in the end! Still a little sketchy based on the time frame but I can always go back in and finish them off another time, as long as they were tabletop ready I was happy :-)

So heres some of the latest additions mostly finished: -

Converted Obliterators

Greater Daemon of Nurgle (sculpted & painted)

Plague Marines (Work in Prog) Champ & Guy to right finished only

Daemon Prince No.1

Daemon Prince No.2

Well theres just a handful of images to look at for now but i'll post up some more this week. I'll post up a couple of battle reports from SVA XII and how the Double lash got on at the weekend. I'll also post the start of my next project which I plan on starting this week -

The Sanguinary Guard Army

Take it Easy

The Code 40K Blog and Contributor Run Down

The Code Blog is a group of geeks talking about the hobby. Basically we'll talk about what we feel like and hopefully pass on some tips en route. Expect 40K mainly with a sprinkling of warhammer and terrain making (DOC's Favourite).

Ok a little bit about the contributors....

DOC
Terrain building is this guys forte, if your looking for tips on building it, he's the man. The organiser, if theres a big game to be had, he's the one jotting down ideas and writing up mission packs. Superb workhorse in terms of painting, whose skills are rising to a superb level, a testament being his recent nomination of best painted army at SVA XIII for his super neat Necron army which is expanding by the second. Look out for his Pre-heresy Death Guard, should be the pinnacle of his hobby so far.

LUKODAKKA
Luko is mega creative making his own obliterators from warhammer ogres, building his own greater daemon and building the bridge for big tooth river. Winner of the Shiniest Army Award at SVAXII with his Chaos Daemon Nurgle Army. Currently finishing his Adeptus Custodes & starting his Pre-Heresy project Sons of Horus. More daemons to come soon....

RED MIST
What can we say, this guy churns out armies like a Tervigon pooping out gants (Marines, Nids, Khorne, Imperial Guard, Necrons, Tau and Dark Eldar) and not only that but to a very high standard. Mist is a crisp, consistent painter and converter. The newly crowned winner of Shiniest Army at SVA XIII for his amazing Khorne Army, check out the Titan! New Tau is on his agenda currently with more Necron goodness i'm sure.

TOONBOY 78
I believe his mission is to collect every possible Space Marine Army list imaginable. I actually think he may even be a space marine. Owner of a humongous and ever growing Space Marine Army, Dark Angels are the latest addition after completing his powerful grey knight paladin list. A superb General who has been close to best general at SVA every year, perhaps next year will be his time...

TREVDOG HOWLER
Trev has been a gamer since time began, a real crisp painter and a lover of all things fluff. Trev is 'forging the narrative' personified, he often writes stories for our games and brings needed roleplay to the battletop. Owner of Sisters of Battle, Nurgle Chaos and Pre-Heresy Emperors Children Armies for 40K and, The Kingly, High Elves for Warhammer. Look out for some Fulgrim following Heresy quality from him soon.

INNER MECH
Back in TheCode40K team, after a long hiatus Paul is back with a vengeance, a "Dark Vengeance" you could say. Dark Angels are his flavour and by the looks of it, his deathwing flavour is looking rather tasty. Is currently preparing for Worcester War, his first 40k event, some pants painting might be on the cards for this 1st company fanatic!

DARK BRISTLES

After a brief guest role Bristles is now a fully fledged Code member. This guy has some serious paint skills, his Golden Demon pin can atestify to that. With a whole host of armies under his belt for personal & commission, his first love Dark Angels, his 30k Mechanicum & recently his Death Korps of Krieg are all of an outstanding level. We're all expecting something special from this guy.

DR GUMBY
Our newest recruit (well to the blog in any case). Dr Gumby is Mr laid back and also has a great conversion knack as you will see in his Space Wolves
