Centurion Devastator Squad - 2/3

Centurion Devastator Squad - 1/3

Not so into detail this time. I just want to finish this unit as quick as possible.

1 down, 2 more to go.

2nd game with the Raven Guard

I had another game yesterday. It was a fun Killpoint game versus a unique Thousand Sons army lead by Ahriman. All those AP3 bolters are scary and my marines suffered quite badly during the first two turns. 

I made a huge mistake during deployment. In result, my Assault Marines required 3 turns to reach the enemy. Thousand Sons with access to multiple biomancy spells reducing my troops Strentgh and Toughness, took a lot of strength from my Raven Guard.

The 3rd turn was where it all begin. My assault was a success, taking out a squad of Thousand Sons and Horrors. My Chapter Master killed a Tzeentch Sorcerer while a Veteran Assault Sergeant killed a Herald of Tzeentch.

But one thing happened that prevent this from being a complete rout of the Thousand Sons. I rolled double 1 for Assault Terminators that was charging Ahriman and around 10 Rubric Marines. (See how close it was from the picture below). Otherwise things would've turned out better for my Raven Guard. 

With that failed charge, the Thousand Sons able to take out the Terminators with shooting and assault in the next turn. The rest of the game saw both of us tried our best to beat each other in combat.

The game ended in the 5th turn where my Raven Guard lost 4-9. Another lost but it was one fine game I truly enjoy.

Hopefully my Raven Guard can do better next time.

Raven Guard VS Necro-Tau

I had my 1st game with the new Raven Guard today. It was a bloody battle against an alliance of Necrons and Tau. It was scary going against two of the most powerful armies at the same time hahaha!

The game was Big Guns Never Tire with 3 objectives. Necro-Tau begin the game with easy 1st Blood by destroying one of my Rhino. I was lucky the Riptide suffered gets hot, otherwise half of my Assault Marines would have gone already.

When my turn came I decide to focus on killing his heavy supports. Assault Marines successfully destroyed 2 Annihilation Barge but my Sternguards failed to harm the Riptide.

Later my Chapter Master entered combat with the Riptide and Tau Commander but this Tau knows how to fight. They were later supported by a Destroyer Lord and Wraiths.

My Chapter Master passed the Mindshackle Scarabs, took 2 wounds from Warscythe and hits back, killing the Destroyer Lord for good. But later he got killed by the Wraiths.

The rest of the game was quite balance but the NecroTau is slowly killing my Marines. With the help of 6 Assault Terminators my Marines able to hold the NecroTau from gaining too much ground. The game ended on turn 5 with the result 4-3 in favor of NecroTau

It was fun, and more importantly, I learned a few things today about Tau. They are powerful tools to be had by anyone. I need something to help me take care of the Riptide and Tau Commander. I am thinking Centurion Devastators with GravCannon instead of Assault Terminators. But they were sold out at Alvin's. Later lah.

Bought myself a Aegis Defence Line, that thing can be handy against the fliers. Gonna spend some time on it tonight. 

So, that's all for today guys. Have fun hobbying.

Death Spectres Librarian

Greetings it has been a long time since I last updated my blog. To be honest, I'm a bit sick with the 6th ed. My morale was low and not a single model painted fully since the last update. Then came the new Space Marines Codex.

I painted this guy during the Codex : Space Marines Release Event at Hobby Forge. I couldn't finish him in time and so lost the opportunity to grab one of three free codex offered to the winners. 

The good thing is that thanks to the event, I'm finally back to the painting table. Back home I spent some more time on him and soon after he is ready for action.

The kit is nicely detailed, but don't really like the 'Gandalf' pose. 

Aniway, enjoy the pics.

Edit : change the pictures already. The previous ones were too dark.
