Hunters of The Warp

Something from Greg

Veyure — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:38:55 GMT

Well i've finally converted my own daemon prince. I used the armour from witch hunter tyrus from the Inquisitor model range and added the limbs and head from a great daemon of Tzeentch. Its really my first attempt at anything of conversion. Let me know what you think.

Gulsnick — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:52:44 GMT

Well i have trown my hat in on this painting chalenge thing .

Toad — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:13:45 GMT

I have a pile of Tau models I plan on turning into some kind of unified force. So I am up to the challenge! I am not a very good painter, but I do love to model, so I am willing to give this a try. I am hoping that this little competition will broaden my painting skills. I am probably gonna go top heavy with troops as I like the shootiness of the fire warriors, and those funky looking kroot. Either way, I am looking forward to the challenge. Now if I can only think of a good color scheme.....

Alrighty, even though I haven't posted the finalized rules for the army challenge, I thought I'd start my message thread for the Khorn off I plan on doing for the challenge. Yes, more Worldeaters.. Im sure you guys are pretty excited!

However, with the two conversion sets of berserkers I picked up from Forgeworld and the 15 terminators, 8 raptors, vindicator, predator, rhino, lord, bloodletters, and FW bloodthirster, I have alot of new Khorne stuff to paint. When all is said and done, ...

Sept 6th - Assault on Black Reach release

System Commander — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:05:10 GMT

I'll be hosting a release event for Assault on Black Reach on Sat. Sept 6th. I'll probalby keep things open to running some intro. demos, but if no one shows up I'll more than likely be painting.

More importantly, the Den will be selling the box sets that day. This is the best deal that GW has ever offered at $75. I think Darren was brining in about 12, so if you want that day you should probably tell to put one aside for you.

I might also try and convince someone to have a 4000 ...

Hey, some fantasy guys are heading down for this event. I have the registration forms but I don't know how to post a file on these forums.

Rob Kuster runs a tight ship and it should be a great time. Fantasy and 40k run at the same time so we could all meet up and drunk up before and after. It's at the Aiport Raddison and they're near booked up already.

The first thing I wanted to mention is the upcoming Black Reach release on Sept 6th. I'll be running some type of thing at the Den that Saturday, I'm not really sutre what it will be yet but I may hang around and work on painting the box set or perhaps run some demos for new players if any show up.

I want to mention though that GW will be sponsoring a painting event with the Black Reach box. The basics of how it will ...

System Commander — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:29:16 GMT

For the next league, starting in about 3-4 weeks, we'll be using the following scenario list and will make some changes to the point structure. You will still be eligible for a +1 bonus for having a painted army, but there will no longer be any general kill/alive points. The secondary objectives will now cover these types of bonuses, and will be the difference between a minor and a major win.

Major Win - 11

Minor Win - 9

Minor Loss - 5

LexMechanic — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 03:44:39 GMT

I have settled upon a space marine army. I have had the idea for a chapter rolling around in my head since 4th, and with a new codex i think now might be the right time. Unfortunately the codex will not be out for another 2 months, so there will have to be a little bit of guesswork when deciding on units. I have decided to try doing weathered marines for this, but comp is still up in the air. The chapter symbol is going to be a hammer with a single wing on it, so the drop pod army would fit the ...

Cyrils Marines

LexMechanic — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:48:36 GMT

With my work on a new marine army i thought i would post up some of Cyril's models. He is a multiple golden daemon winner from france, and i believe he created the weathered effect, or at least adapted it for 40k. He is also the originator of the glowing marine eyes. He has a site but it is in french so it needs translating, and even then it is barely understandable.

Road Warrior Orks

System Commander — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 06:16:40 GMT

So, my new plan is to build an army around one the best movies ever created, the Road Warrior but with an overall Mad Max type theme. This has gone through a few different phases for me, and has been a plan I've been toying with for years. After the last edition of the Imperial Guard codex came out, I thought I might be able to do it with the Warrior weapon type of list, but the lack of vehicles and ability to move quick was always an issue. Rough riders would of ended fielding the need for bikes ...

Assault vs shooting

LexMechanic — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:18:02 GMT

Just wondering if anyone had thoughts on what made a better army in 5th, shootiness or assaultiness? In the last edition there was no question that shooting was better. I know its a little early to tell, but with the changes to running, lack of area terrain, and the fact that you cannot consolidate into another unit after a wipeout, as well as the new combat resolution modifiers, what do people think?

I understand that transports (rhinos, trukks et al.) are considered to be worth 1 battle point if one is to play the annihilation scenario.

I also understand that a transport may therefore contest an objective by itself, irregardless of whether or not it is carrying another unit, if one is ...
