Team Tournament Today

So the Barn is holding a team tournament today. The teams each consist of 2 players with 1000 points each.
I am teaming up with Nate and we are taking our Blood Angels out to play. We both have been very busy leading up to the tournament so last night was the first time we had a chance to get together and work on our lists. Since we didn't have any chance to playtest, or to make any new models we might need, we decided to go with things we already have and go for a straight-forward, punch you in the face kind of list.

So anyways, heres our lists:

Mine
Astorath the Grim

Death Company, 1x b.gun and PF, 2x pistol and P.W. 1x CCW and P.W., 2x CCW and B.P, 2x CCW, and Bolter, in drop pod with locator beacon

Assualt Squad, 10 man, 2x meltaguns, power fist

Death Company Dreadnought with Blood Talons, Drop Pod with locator beacon

Chaplain

Nates.
Mephiston

Death Company, 1x b. gun and PF, 1x pistol and PW, 1x CCW and PW, 2x bolter and CCW, 2x pistol
and CCW, in Drop Pod with locator beacon

Assualt Squad, 10 man with 2x meltaguns, power weapon and Meltabombs

Chaplain

Sanguinary Priests x2. with jumppacks and power weapons


Anyhow got to get going! Will be posting updates from the tournament (if I can figure out mobile blogging anyhow!). Wish me luck!

Astorath the Grim

Painted Death Company Models

So I have been working on my Death Company and thought I would share a few pic's of the ones I have finished. When I first read the codex I had dismissed them. I didn't like the thought of a troops unit that couldn't control objectives. However, I have since reconsidered, and now think of them more as an elites unit that takes up a troops slot. I have been having much more success with the army as a whole since adding them (and Astorath the Grim, that guys a beast!)

BarnCon

So this weekend the barn celebrated it's 1st year by holding BarnCon. Lots of games and fun were had by all. I got in two games myself. A win against Austins Tyranids using the Battle Missions 'Vanguard' Mission, and a loss to Shanes Nurgle Chaos Space Marines.

My Death Company square off against Austins Horde of 'gants.

A quick Tournament Report

So my local gaming club hosted a 2000pt tournament recently. I brought my Eldar and my high hopes with me. Sadly this was not a glorious day for the Eldar of the Saim-Hann Craftworld. It was, however a fun filled day with some good games. So let’s get onto the report.

So I guess I’ll start with my own list. It, like most of my lists, is far from the most competitive of lists, but there was also a best painted competition and I wanted to make sure I qualified to compete in that as well. That is why there is a squad of Dire Avengers in one of the Wave Serpents instead of a second unit of Fire Dragons (which I would have much preferred!) Anyways, here it is.

Blood Knights WIP

So here are a few pics of some of the early works in progress in my Blood Angels successor Chapter, the Blood Knights.

'Ard Boyz Semi finals report

So  I headed down to Kenallville IN, to Sinclair Books and Games for the Semi-Finals round of 'Ard Boyz  this weekend. Nate joined me to just come and hang out (and get drunk at the pub across the street.) Anyway, here's a brief rundown of how my day went.
