Vomit #2: lolz

Found some old photos on my phone, mostly W.I.P Thunderwolf Cav photos, but also some of my Inquisition bits and best of all, these buggers...

My old free-Codex Blood Angels; a.k.a "The Neon Tigers".

I broke most of them up because I wanted legs for my TWC, but I think I've still got these kicking around somewhere. If I can find them I might just go ahead and restart them again now the new book is out, because they're sexy as all hell... :D :D

Vomit #1: Chaos "Collectors"

I was on the GW website earlier looking through the various bits and pieces to see if I could find some parts for a conversion I have in mind (more on that later), when I stumbled into the CSM Collectors bin and found...

DOOMRIDER IS BACK!!! Yay! I don't know if he's always been there or what because I don't much poke around the Chaos Spez Mehrens Collectors page, but this is the first time I've noticed him. Order'd for great justice.

If it IS a re-release and not just awareness failure on my part I suppose it's probably just a reaction to his internet meme-hood, but how fucking awesome would a Chaos Bike army led by Doomrider in the next book be?

FUCK YEAH, DOOMRIDER!!! :D

Grey Hunters are mediocre at best

Just wanted to put that on record.

My attempt at balancing the Beasts & Cavalry Space Wolves list at 1500pts. I was originally trying to fit a Jump Pack Canoness with a Book in there so's the Wolves would get Stubborn Ld10 with rerolls from the TWC, but opted for 2 Lascannons in the end. The Canoness (or more Wolves) would probably be a better choice, but whatever.

Notable things are a lack of mobility in the scoring units, which I reckon you could counter simply by having so much shite on the board. Also the Long Fangs being your only source of long-range shooty is not a great thing in Dawn of War. Tank Shocking and vehicle-spam in general will be a problem, Lootas will likewise be a pain in the arse and Deffrollas will murder you. You should be able to walk over stuff like Bikes or Mechdar with it though. Well, if you ignore the lack of psyker protection...

Myself, I don't like it. Too many holes. I'm trying desperately hard to make a proper 13th Company list without resorting to vanilla units like Speeders and Dreads, but it's a real struggle; Long Fangs are an awesome replacement for Dakka Preds but apart from them you really haven't got much else in terms of "teh sh00ty", which you do need in some form or another if you're going to be able to influence the game from turn 1. I wish Long Fangs or Wolf Guard Terminators got Autocannons like Chaos do, then the problem would solve itself :(

Suddenly, everywhere, VEHICLES! 10 to be precise; I mean sure, they're only AV11-12, but there's still plenty of them to get rid of, and considering each one has the ability to hit and hurt anything it seems like a fair old handful to me.
