083 Let's List Again, Like We Did Last Summer...

Hullo!

Two lists for you today: one from my real-life game against Mike the Merciless this month, and one from my 'Vassal' (online) game against 73rd from December.

2000 pts list:

HQ:
Heroic Snr Officer, P/wpn, bolt pistol (bp), ID, with M/vox, medic, standard bearer and plasma gunner (142pts)
Commissar w. p/wpn+bp (46pts)
A/T Squad (3 lascannon) (110ps)

TP:
1 Pl (347pts):
HQ sect: Jr Officer w. P/wpn, bp, ID; Vix, medic, 2 x grenade launchers
1 sect: Sgt, vox, plasma gun
2 sect: Sgt, vox, melta gun
3 sect: Sgt, vox, gren
4 sect (r): Sgt, vox, flamer (5 pax)

2 Pl (397pts):
[As 1 Pl, but with Light Infantry doctrine @10pts/unit = +50pts]

HS:
1 F/Sup Pl (393pts):
HQ sect: Jr Officer w. P/wpn, bp, ID; Vix, medic, 2 x grenade launchers
A/T squad (3 missile launchers)
A/P squad (3 autocannon)
A/P squad (3 hvy bolters)
Light Infantry doctrine @10pts/unit = +40pts

2 F/Sup Pl (353pts):
HQ sect: Jr Officer w. P/wpn, bp, ID; Vix, medic, 2 x grenade launchers
A/T squad (3 missile launchers)
A/P squad (3 autocannon)
A/P squad (3 hvy bolters)

Griffon S-P Mortar + smoke = 78pts

Basilisk S-P Artillery (w. indirect fire + smoke) = 128pts.

= 1994pts

So there you go. I owe an apology to Mike for two reasons. Firstly, although it was only a fun game (and it was a fun game!), in my efforts to quickly knock together an appropriately fluffy list I didn't realise I had one too many Heavy Support choices.

Secondly, I accidentally miscounted with my maths, and didn't realise that I had no points left for the sniper team I also fielded (5 snipers = 55pts). This is because I omitted to factor in the points cost for some of the Light Infantry doctrines. SORRY MIKE! Those snipers soaked up a lot of Mike's shooting, so it's a little unfair, but it was an honest mistake, and he still beat me!

Okay. Here, then, is 73rd's list from our game back in December: I'll add it to that post too. Dark Angels, 1500 pts:

HQ:
Interrogator Chaplain - Terminator Armour - 120 pts

Elites:
Deathwing Terminators - Cyclone Missile - 245 pts

Troops:
10 Marines - Sergeant PPistol - Flamer, Missile Launcher - 210 pts
10 Marines - Sergeant PPistol - Flamer, Missile Launcher - 210 pts
10 Marines - Sergeant PPistol - Flamer, Missile Launcher - 210 pts

Fast Attack:
6 Ravenwing Bikes, 1 Attack Bike, 1 Landspeeder - 2 Flamers (Bikes) - 380 pts
1 Ravenwing Landspeeder - Typhoon Missile Launcher - 75 pts
Dedicated TransportsRazorback - 50 pts
Razorback - 50 pts

TOTAL = 1490 pts

Thanks, all,

082 Lascannon Squad Completed! Hooray!

August '09 - NB: Since the new Codex: Imperial Guard, my fire support platoons have been disbanded, and their constituent units re-allocated. In this case, these lascannon are now part of 2 'Tactical' Platoon.

Hullo again, mes petits choux-fleurs!

(NB: Col. Krieg, please accept my apologies!)

Good news: I've finished my first lascannon fire support squad - attached to B Coy HQ from D Coy (though I do have to tweak this fluff a little for logistical reasons I can't be bothered to go into. Actually, I think I'll have to re-number my fire support squads. Bugger.) - and that earns me another 12 Painting Points (see the running tally to the left).

Those of you who followed my frosting saga recently may be interested to note that despite (a) keeping the Purity Seal in my pockets for an hour (and shoving it under the dog's blanket as he dozed) for warmth, and (b) shaking it vigorously for five timed minutes, it still frosted a little. Luckily, the ol' magic surgical spirit worked its wonders.

I also finished and varnished the turret from Chimera 2, so that earns me another 2 Painting Points (because I say so). In the pipeline is one of my objective markers (being revamped) and now my Leman Russ armoured company and some more Armoured Fist squads. In addition to the wyvern.

Strewth!

I've a couple of army lists to post soon too, and I owe 73rd over at Unforgiven Angels an apology for not updating stuff from our battle before Christmas - I'll try to get to it this week, mate.

That is all.

081 Mechanisation

Evening, all.

Just a quick post today. I might post a report of the weekend's last-minute surprise smackdowns against Mike the Merciless soon (when he sends pics), but until then, here are my light vehicles - those of the 1/24th Mech Inf and their accompanying support from the Cadian 144th Field Artillery. And my dog. The pics are slightly larger than normal, for your viewing pleasure:

I've just realised I forgot the sentinels. Oh well. Please note that the wyvern and one of the optional chimera turrets are not fully finished: sorry about that.
