We all have that model hidden somewhere that we can't look at. Either we were too young to understand what we were doing properly, too drunk to notice or just not happy with the end result of new technique you tried.
Well never fear here are two ways to get that model stripped and back on display where it belongs.

So I have started a Tau army and a lot of people on dakka have suggested that I would be better off spending points on kroot instead of getting more fire warriors.
Now although this is no doubt good advice to a noob Tau player, I personally don't see the logic in spending points on units which aren't going to do much. Now the common thread is to use them as a meat shield for the heavy Justicar Alarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511887946702657247noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414278605806969551.post-39536055785919346102010-11-08T11:07:00.001+00:002010-11-09T07:56:49.964+00:00New Tau ArmyWell I'm finally back from a short break from posting. Don't ask what I've been up to it's far too boring and complicated.
So I've taken the step of starting a new army. Unlike many people out there I have gone for one of the older Codex's.
So this is the Tau list I'm thinking of using.

Mark from Imperius Dominatus came round on Saturday for a game. I am using my revised Blood Angels list and he is using his now famous (or infamous) Imperial Guard list. People who read my reports on battles against Mark will have notice a trend of me trying my best but losing let’s see if things are any different this time.
Let’s take a look at the forces being used.

I've been pretty quiet for the last couple of weeks, real life and large amounts of work on my models have kept me away from my keyboard.
Let's take a look at what's been going on while I've been hiding away from the interweb.
For a start having completed my bolt pistol experiment, I didn't expect to getting any more stuff for quite a while, how wrong was I :0)
I managed to get 25 more assault Justicar Alarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511887946702657247noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414278605806969551.post-35219756277796786442010-09-01T21:39:00.001+01:002010-09-01T21:43:55.312+01:00Finished Bolt Pistol Build
So I posted a few days ago that I was building my own bolt pistol, this is what I did.
Now I know it isn't perfect but I'm on a strict budget so I had to use whatever materials I could scrounge from around the house.
Step 1
The first stage is probably the easiest. Buy a Nerf N-Strike recon should cost you around £21.50 here in the UK. I got mine from Smyths. Then all you have to do is remove Justicar Alarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511887946702657247noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414278605806969551.post-1605775955629288722010-08-29T16:01:00.000+01:002010-08-29T16:01:22.511+01:00Building my own Bolt Pistol

I got a PM from Tear of The Angel from Dakka last night offering to do a list for me, because Mark (Mercer) keeps beating me.
This is the list he sent me:

Having seen Mercer use Roman style tactics in our games I was wondering if tactics used in other periods could be adapted to work on the tabletop.
I know it doesn't sound as if it would work but I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the possibility.
The main one I was thinking of was the Napoleonic tactic of "form square". This was the way infantry used to protect themselvesJusticar Alarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511887946702657247noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414278605806969551.post-76684242467119525182010-08-18T01:24:00.001+01:002010-08-25T00:30:39.499+01:00Daemon Hunters Null Rod List

Having had a few games against Mark (Mercer) I am beginning to see where I am going wrong (most of the time).
I have got that hung up on the fact that the Blood Angels are an assault army I have forgotten the most important thing about warfare, you need to make your opponent move to where he is at his weakest. In essence you need to force him to position his units in such a way as to put youJusticar Alarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511887946702657247noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414278605806969551.post-78757894304435776822010-08-17T09:28:00.000+01:002010-08-17T09:28:47.869+01:002000 Pts - Blood Angels Army "Angels of Death"
Well here it is the revised list I was thinking about.
Basically after the last battle the previous list lacked the ability to hold objectives on my side of the board. Let's take a look at the list.

Mercer came around on Saturday and we had a game, he was using his Imperial fists and I was using the Blood Angels list he posted on his blog.The list recieved a slight revision prior to the battle, I dropped the Epistolary upgrade and used the points to put more missile launchers into the Devastator squads.
So let's get this party started.

I got a text from Mercer earlier saying he had done me a killer list for my Blood Angels, which should shut up those annoying morons who seem to hate his battle reports against me.
Many apologies for the content theft, but all things are fair in blogging and war. LOL
I built this list with Justicar Alaric in mind. Cheers Mark all the I need all the help I can get.

I was jumping around the interweb the other night and came across this little gem and thought I'd share it with all of you.
I pulled this straight off the forum.
So there's been some buzz elsewhere about GK, and it's been a while for me here so here's some bits and pieces.

I was chatting with Mark (Mercer) the other day and he suggested it might be interesting if he brought his friend Craig (Croggy) round for a game, just to give us a bit of a change. Also it would give all the idiots on Dakka somebody else to bitch at (sorry Craig but me and Mark seem to attrat them)
So after same chatting we thought it might be interesting do go for a 2 vs 1 game (we all knowJusticar Alarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511887946702657247noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414278605806969551.post-31073759367631634552010-08-05T23:21:00.000+01:002010-08-05T23:21:59.992+01:00Fucktards are out again!
It's happened again! Mercer posted his take on our last battle report on Dakka which seems to have brought the morons out of the woodwork again.
OK so it might just be my own opinion but there seems to be a lot of idiots hanging around at the moment on a certain forum I go on.
Now I posted my take on the battle we had and got nothing but good advice and insight into what happened, and yet Mark Justicar Alarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511887946702657247noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414278605806969551.post-45738706121461498932010-08-05T12:29:00.001+01:002010-08-05T12:30:34.936+01:00Selling out

I can only apologise to those who think I'm trying to cash in, but there is a reason behind this honest.

I have quite a large Daemon Hunters army and this made me ask the question why do GW take so long to get round to updating old codices?
A case in point is the new Blood Angels codex. For 10 years the Blood Angels were the ginger step child of the marine chapters. Before the current codex we had the pdf version (*shudders*), which basically gave us an army who's best weapon options were just as Justicar Alarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511887946702657247noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414278605806969551.post-57657289008641560722010-08-02T11:36:00.002+01:002010-08-02T12:47:01.535+01:00Blood Angels vs Orks 2600 points (with added Stompa)
