Final...Final List for Los Deimos!

With less than a week to go now before the tourney starts I am scrambling to paint my army and find a list I like!

Without further adieu here is my final list, otherwise I won't have time to get it ready, and that just won't do!

Company Command - 3 Plasmaguns, Medic, Astropath, Officer of the Fleet, Plasma Pistol and Power Fist on Commander
Chimera - Multilaser, heavy flamer

Veteran Squad - Demolitions, 3 meltas, 6 shotguns, plasma pistol (on sergeant)

Veteran Squad - 3 meltas, 6 shotguns, plasma pistol (on sergeant)

Veteran Squad - 3 meltas, 6 shotguns, plasma pistol (on sergeant)

Veteran Squad - 2 meltas, 1 flamer, 6 shotguns, plasma pistol (on sergeant)
Chimera - Multilaser, heavy flamer

Veteran Squad - 2 meltas, 1 flamer, 6 shotguns, plasma pistol (on sergeant)
Chimera - Multilaser, heavy flamer

Vendetta - heavy bolter sponsons

Vendetta - heavy bolter sponsons

2 Valkries - heavy bolter sponsons, multiple rocket pods

-1495 points-

So I dropped 2 chimeras (at Matt_Varnish's recommendation) and added a 5th Veteran squad. I also dropped the Power Weapons and 1 Plasma Pistol in order to give the first Veteran Squad the Demolitions ability to allow for a potentially devastating first turn multi-vehicle charge and destruction with melta bombs a plenty :)

Spliters of Chaos

Splinters of Chaos

CA$H here,

I just penned my final list for next weekend's local tournament "Splinters of Locara". It is being run by "Sober Gamer", and picks up right after last year's Locara campaign. For more info, please swing by HERE and feel free to take part! It really will be global, since games can be played anywhere. Without further mumbling, here is the list I have settled on:

HQ
Daemon Prince - 155 pts
Wings, MoS, Lash of Submission

TROOPS

Noise Marines x8 – 250pts
Sonic Blasters x 7
Noise Champion w/ Power Weapon and Doom Siren, Personal Icon, Melta bombs

Chaos Space Marines (10) - 255 pts
Aspiring Champ w/ Power Fist, IoCG, Meltagun(2)
Rhino

Summoned Lesser Deamons x8 - 104pts

ELITE

Chosen x5 - 165pts
Meltagun x4,Rhino

HEAVY SUPPORT
Vindicator – 125pts
Obliterator x3 – 225pts
Land Raider - 220pts

1499pts

I know it is a little heavy on points in the heavy support area, but the obliterators are all conversions, and I love me some Vindicator action (despite it rarely getting it's points back). So, what do you all think? I will be testing it out tomorrow for FNF(Friday Night Fights) and we shall see what I can accomplish with it.

I am open to suggestions and any/all input, but please keep in mind the idea wasn't to run a "net list" - I went with the models I love the look of, over functionality.
Oh, and pics of the whole painted army to follow tomorrow!

Cheers,

Los Deimos Final Army List

Ok so I have literally waited until too late to figure out which army of mine I will be playing for Los Deimos, but I came up with a compromise and I'm quite happy with the results.

This is my 'Taros Force', meaning that it is comprised of Tallarn and Elysian Imperial Guard. It is designed to be like the Guard Alliance from the failed attack on the Tau Settlement on Taros (Imperial Armour Volume 3 from Forgeworld).

I would appreciate all comments/concerns/questions/death threats/marriage proposals etc!

New DE Battle Report!

Welp, I went into the store to get away from the house for a few hours to get some painting in, and lo and behold, the Black Box had just come in. So I convinced Kairos FateWeaver to run a quick proxy battle with the new codex. We did 1000 pts, I took my 1500 point Los Deimos list and took away both Tyranofexes while he ran 2 units of raider warriors, with sybarites, agonisers, haemonculi and probbaly a bunch of other stuff I haven't read about yet and an archon and incubi in a third raider. It was Capture and Control, Dawn of War.



So here it is, first battle report with the new Codex!

47 Termagaunt kills... Can YOU Guess what inflicted this?

Like the title says... I played Battle Report 58 last night, and lost 47 termagaunts to a single unit. It is the least likely of IG units too! This was a sick game: I spawned so many termagaunts with my Tervigons.. Started with 40, and spawned at least 35 more.



This video doesn't convey how epic this game truly was.. I made a bet that if "Knife Guy" aka, squad sgt in a platoon squad could KILL my Tyranofex in HtH combat, I would build him a chimera covered in spare Carnifex plates chained to it.

I also had the chance to quickly take some footage of another tourney list test game: Lurker Below's Imperial Fists vs Chimaera's incredibly painted Tyranids. More intel on lists.. Not filmed was Twin Linked and Royal Falcon played Los Deimos tourney tester game in the back room of GW too... on a Wednesday! I thought we'd be the only game on a quiet night!

Video Battle Reports x 2!

Lothlann's Used Tank Emporium! the 40,011's must go, the new 40,012's are coming in!




Hey guys, I finally settled in on a list for the Los Deimos campaign tournament: Tyranids

HQ-
Tyranid Prime, Devourer, twin Boneswords, Regenrate

Elites-
3 units of 2 Hive guard

Troops-
Tervigon, Cluster Spine,Adrenal glands, Toxin Sacs x 2
20 strong unit of Termagaunts x2

Heavy Support-
Tyrranofex with Rupture cannon, Cluster Spine x 2

1500 points on the nose. I originally had the usual 2 units of ten termagaunts, but I found the big units to be more resilient, and I needed bodies on the table even in KP missions.

Here are some videos:
First up we have Seven Six with his aweseme orange and blue Nids vs the parking lot.


And then we have my Nids vs Ca$h's Noise Marines. The battle of the purple dice rages on
