CSM Supreme Command (The Flawless Host, Soulforged Pack) 3 x Lord Discordant on Helstalker (Baleflamer, Slaanesh, Techno-virus injector) CSM Spearhead (The Purge) Sorcerer with Jump Pack (Bolt pistol, Force sword, Nurgle) 3 x Hellforged Deredeo Dreadnought (Butcher cannon array, Greater havoc launcher, Nurgle, Twin heavy bolter) 2 x Heldrake (Baleflamer, Heldrake claws, Nurgle) Daemon Battalion (Chaos Undivided) Poxbringer Sloppity Bilepiper 2 x 10 Pair of Brimstone Horrors 28 x Plaguebearers (Daemonic Icon, Instrument of Chaos) 1999pts, 9cp This is a new list I'm contemplating, the reason being that my Disco Lords seldom survive past turn one, at the most turn two. The idea is that by adding Heldrakes to the list, and adding one more Disco Lord I will get a much larger forward threat, if I get first turn the Heldrakes can storm forward and hope to force my opponent to deal with them first. If all goes well that would ease up on the pressure my Disco Lords are fee

I got two practice games in yesterday; one was against my new nemesis, an Ork player named Martin Hultgren. Nicest guy ever, but he pilots one of the most devastating lists I have ever faced. We have played quite a few games against each other and I have lost every time, been tabled or very close to it by round three every game. It is one of those matches that a competitive personality actively goes looking for and dreads in equal proportions. My second game was against another club mate, we have only played one time before but it is one of those opponents that you know that the game is always going to be fun and relaxing, just by the strength of your opponents personality, a perfect laid-back and friendly game that makes you love 40k even more. Let us get to the games; I played my DDD list that I have mentioned before, trying to get as many reps in as possible before our club’s 3 round RTT later in the week. Game 1 (Orks) Ork Air Wing (Freebooterz) Burna-bommer (2xS

I played another test game a few days ago, and I really messed up. I was thinking what I should write about this game as writing a long battle-report did not seem that useful. The reason for that being I got careless and did not analyze my opponent’s army before deploying. He was running one ranged and three close combat Knights of House Krast, with two Helverines and a Culexus. I had not really played against close combat knights in a while and forgot how fucking fast they are, and to a lesser extent, how much damage they do. I knew my Disco Lords where central in this match-up, because they were one of the few things I had that could really hurt the knights. The Deredeos are great but AP1 was going to be a problem with 2+ and 3+ saves on the knights. That leads me to the reason for writing this post, my deployment. In my last 11 games with Disco Lords I haven’t really faced any army that can (and want to) charge my deployment turn 1, because of that I’ve put my Disco Lo

Needed a Sorcerer in Terminator Armor so I quickly painted one yesterday. Not much to say about this one, loved the kit, I did this one quick and dirty.

I played my new 2000 points list with Deredeo, Disco Lords and Daemons for the first time yesterday. It performed close to how I wanted it to during theory-crafting. The game was Seize Ground with Front-line Assault I played against T'au with.. T'au Battalion (T'au Sept) Shadowsun Fireblade 3 x 5 Fire Warriors 3 x Riptide (Advanced targeting system, Target lock, Heavy burst cannon, Smart missiles) 2 x 11 Shield Drones T'au Battalion (T'au Sept) XV8 Commander (4xCyclic Ion lbasters) Darkstrider 3 x 5 Fire Warriors 3 x Stealth Suits Dayhak Grekh T'au Vanguard (Sa'cea Sept) Coldstar Commander  (4xFusion Blasters) Ethereal 3 x Firesight Marksman I picked Headhunter (4), Butcher's Bill (4), Ground Control (4) . My T'au opponent picked Old School (3), Big Game Hunter (4), Kingslayer (3) Round 1 I lost the roll to go first but managed to seize, so the game-plan here was to use the Disco Lords as distractions, using one to hunt s

In the wake of Lincon I have a RTT coming up in 3 weeks. It is 2000 points ITC and the list I have been tinkering with has some elements from my last tournament list. Here is the list I am thinking about… Daemon Battalion (Chaos Undivided) Poxbringer Sloppity Bilepiper 12 x Pair of Brimstone Horrors 29 x Plaguebearers (Daemonic Icon, Instrument of Chaos) 29 x Plaguebearers (Daemonic Icon, Instrument of Chaos) CSM Spearhead (Alpha Legion, Soulforged Pack) 2 x Lord Discordant on Helstalker (Baleflamer, Mark of Nurgle, Techno-virus injector) 3 x Hellforged Deredeo Dreadnought (Butcher cannon array, Greater havoc launcher, Twin heavy bolter) Thousand Sons Supreme Command Ahriman Daemon Prince of Tzeentch (Malefic talon, Wings) Sorcerer in Terminator Armour (Force staff, Inferno Combi-bolter) 9CP, 2,000pts The idea is that the Disco Lords continue to act as distraction fexes and the Deredeos continue to doing their thing (mostly securing Kil

Lincon this year was a 5 round tournament over 2 days. It was played with 1750 points lists and 38 people attended. The format used was ITC with the addition that you could opt to use Maelstrom cards instead of picking secondary’s. So let us just get on with it, I had a terrible showing at Lincon this year. The list I brought was the following... CSM Supreme Command (Alpha Legion, Soulforged Pack) 1 x Lord Discordant (Nurgle, Baleflamer, Virus injector, Warlord “I am Alpharius”, Mecha-serpents) 2 x Lord Discordant (Nurgle, Baleflamer, Virus injector) CSM Spearhead (Alpha Legion) 1 x Chaos Sorcerer with Jump Pack (Nurgle, Bolt pistol, Force sword) 3 x Deredeo (Nurgle, Butcher, Havoc, HBolter) Daemon Battalion (Nurgle) 2 x Poxbringer 29 x Plaguebearers (Banner, Instrument) 4 x Nurglings 3 x Nurglings 1748p, 9CP I took Miasma of Pestilence and Virulent Blessing on my Poxbringers all games, Warptime and Diabolic Strength on my Chaos Sorcerer.

Hi everyone! So what is this place, well quite simply it's just a place for me to post about 40k. It's for myself but open to the public. I realised that I wanted a place to post my hobby pictures to have some kind of timeline to track my progress. At the same time I wanted a place to post battle-reports so I could go back and learn from my misstakes. So If you're here, welcome to my little corner of the 40k web Death to the false Emperor!
