Chaos Dwarf Dreadquake Mortar

Here is my Dreadquake Mortar
Massive range, Ogre crewman, quake rule, hellbound, steam carriage of doom....

This thing is nasty. Only problem is it comes from  rare points.... That means it competes with the Hellcannon and K'daai Destroyer so it hardly ever comes out to play.

Enjoy the pics ;)

Fighting the new Undead or how to die horribly and still have fun...

Looks like i'm going to be outnumbered... 

Nurgleprototype being all ethereal as he deploys


Went up against Nurgleprototype and i am still licking my wounds. He was using the new undead rules combined TK and VC superforce. We went for a 3k pitched battle and the 50% characters. He did not use any of the Nagash Special characters but gee wizz it was a tough battle...

I was practicing taking nice photos of deployment but i failed big time... wrong lens, bad light blah blah oh well next time... Here is my army for this battle:


Chaos Lord, Mark of Tzeentch, Third Eye of Tzeentch, Disc of Tzeentch , Hellfire Sword, Enchanted Shield, Talisman of Endurance,

Daemon Prince, Chaos armour, Daemon of Slaanesh, Daemonic Flight, Lore of Slaanesh, Wizard Level 4, Chaos Familiar, Scaled Skin, Soul Feeder, Charmed Shield, Dragonbane Gem, Sword of Striking

Chaos Sorcerer, Lore of Tzeentch, Mark of Tzeentch, Wizard Level 2, Disc of Tzeentch, Channeling Staff, Dragonhelm,Talisman of Protection

Exalted Hero, Battle Standard Bearer, Mark of Tzeentch, Shield, Daemonic Mount Talisman of Preservation, Warrior Bane

Throgg

Chaos Chariot MOK

8x Chaos Troll Additional hand weapons, Throgg is here

9x Chaos Troll Additional hand weapons, Hortennse bsb is here

Hellcannon

3x Skullcrushers with Ensorcelled weapons

3x Skullcrushers with Ensorcelled weapons

So things i learnt:

Never rely on the hellcannon take 2 or none. He was just a combat monster all game, kept going crazy (i still love him, just remember it is not a sure bet to even fire, they are a tough monster in  Hand to Hand though so all is not lost, deployment is key with this guy)...

Keep dispel dice for doom and darkness dispel... 2 terrorghiests screaming at your DP while hexed is bad news... they wiped him out fast

The new summon lore is deadly. Terrorghiests, monstrous infantry etc etc. I just couldn't keep up... real hardcore



Throgg can kill a kitted out Vampire Lord. Save your breath spew for when it counts. One round, dead Vampire Lord on his ghost wagon thing.

I overcompensated for ethereal. Better to have it and not need it. A savvy raiser of the dead can just clusterfuck your units with unkillable unit matchups that he can raise... the horror...

Horde with tk characters sharing ws and the mask of "never use bsb or general leadership" really sucks when you eventually kill all the summoned legions and get into combat...

Undead still die as fast as they always did but now they will have more... way more...

A terrorghiest at full wounds can delete a unit of skullcrushers

Don't get too cheerful when you kill a terrorghiest... he can just summon another one...

It is possible to roll ballistic skill and extra armour on a 1+ character on the eye of the gods table

Tzeentch missiles are too random to kill a terrorghiest in 1 round with 2 spells

Killy tzeentch lord with 4++ with reroll 1's, disc and hellfiresword is great at wiping out chaff and full units of undead troops. Very valuable in this matchup.

Trolls are super effective against undead. ITP rocks. Problem is their low int. My mate had a backup death caster lv2 with purple sun
.. this meant i was forced to use a lot of dispel dice protecting the trolls. This lead to uncontested summons and the nastiest spell with a scream list.... doom and darkess....

1 Khorne chariot can hold off against a big unit of basic troops but they need help to wipe them out

Keep a tack of the enemy summons tokens

I got floored this battle. I think i ran a reasonably hard and cheesy list and from the beginning things went upside down. If you don't kill the 2 mandatory terrorghiests tgere will be more... while you try and kill them the summoners are doing their thing. This army was a blast to play against and it was great to run a Slaanesh choir bomber with a hellfire sword tzeentch disc lord. Lots of fun.. i just have to work out how to beat them

Dark Mechanicus part 2

So got some time to do some converting on my Dark Mechanicus : D

After looking at the sprue of the Shock Troopers I found one of the other guns (with a bit of chopping) would look good as a vent/ power generator...

After placing it I wasn't happy, it didn't look like it would hold enough power.

Then I remembered the CD player I found last week had a bunch of capacitors (dont really know if they are called that.... but, eh)

So with a bit of cutting I got these (the little ones)

Then I just super glued them onto the pack

From there it was just adding cables to give it that Mechanicus look

Tahdah!

I'm very happy with these so far! I dont know if I want to add more mech type stuff or just paint them Chaosy.

Here is a family shot of the box :)

Still going to add cables and wires but you get the idea...

Hope you like them so far,

Cheers

How to beat Eldar with Chaos Space Marines

Honestly i'm a bit lost. The Eldar army is hard as nuts. I still havn't cracked them. Nurgleprototype has a particularly large Eldar force that covers all sorts of different builds. They are nasty shooty, very fast and super hard to shift..... The Forces of Vantraxx the Thrice Cursed have been repelled time and time again but there is a new plan... An alliance... Necrosius and his Zombies. Lots and lots of Zombies....

Vantraxx the Thrice Cursed P-)

The Dark Mechanicus rise.......

The beginning of a long thought of project is always daunting.

The variables in what you conceive, to how they will actually come to fruition is painstaking. 
Finding models and then how much effort you want/need to produce your vision can be frustrating, but...

Striking something that fits your idea is so satisfying, hence...

The start of my Dark Mechanicus army!

I will be using the rules from the Horus Heresy Extermination book (Tagmata)

These will be the Tech-thralls/ Adsecularis

Obviously I will be doing more to these; tubing and powerpacks, but generally they are perfect for what I want to achieve :D

The look of these models is awesome for where I want to go with my Dark Mechanicus.

I am really looking forward to getting these painted, however I am still a bit undecided about which colours I should go with...

The basic Mars Red, except dirty.

Dark browns and blacks, with lots of OSL (Object Source Lighting)

or something completely different, because Chaos is fickle! 

If anyone out there has a suggestion for a colour scheme, drop a comment here!

Cheers

More Maw :)

Here are some more of my Ogres that I did a while ago

This is my Ironblaster

 This will be a Stonrhorn

These are my Mournfang

 This is my Thundertusk

 + some more ogres

I think they are coming along nicely, just gotta get time to do them as well as my other projects :P

Cheers

Endangerment Room - part 4

Did some more work on the landscape for the Endangerment Room...
added some more colours and the lichen, which I then airbrushed with some purple to follow the theme of the tube worms.

Cheers
