Ard boyz 2011

Well with Ard boyz being the next Major thing for 40K in my eyes it is time to start thinking of lists that are both fun, new and tough to beat.  With that in mind I am going to give good old jolly grandfather Nurgle a go.

I think this list should do alright I guess.  At the very least I will have a ton of fun playing with it.

1500 GT results.

Well yesterday was the GT at the LA bunker.  I got a total score of 80.  my Painting score was low because well they gave 5 different reasons and ended up on 1 search light wasn't painted so it dropped my score by 18.  But anyways it was 3 rounds.

Round 1 was a modified objective game.  1+D3 building where the objectives.  To claim an objective a troop had to place a "flag" in the start of the movement phase.  This game I went again a Wrathwall army.

We only had 2 objectives and I lost the game on the last turn when both units of the wrath guard charged in killing my last unit of marines.

Game 2 was another objective but this one was a "king of the Hill" I played against an imperial guard army.  I cant remember exactly what he had but I know it was 2 vet squads in chimera one with 3 melta 1 with 3 plasma.  A big infantry platoon with 2 autocannons and a special weapon platoon with 3 flamers.  2 commands with autocannons 1 battle cannon 1 plasma lemanruss and a manticore.

The game ended in a draw but he only was off target on 1 shot which still hit my predator and killed 3 marines.  Very rough game for me.

Last game was a modified kill point mission.  I went against a Grey Knight army and because of the judging on how the HQ KP was I lost.  I wiped out his lord the lords terminators their land raider and the other land raider and still lost.  I only lost a rhino my lord and vindicator and predator.  SO that was a bit annoying but the guy was a great person to play against.  Also his army was soooo stunning I was proud to take the loss against him.

1500 point GT

Well this Saturday is a 1500 point GT at the LA battle bunker.  My list is going to be:

HQ:
Chaos Lord: Mark of Khorne, Terminator armor, Combi melta, Deamon weapon 160

Elites
6 terminators: Chain fist, Pair of lightning claws, Reaper auto cannon, 2 combi-meltas  Icon of Slaanesh 255

Troops
10 Marines: 2 Plasma guns, Champ with power fist, Icon of Slaanesh Rhino twin bolter 280
10 Marines: 2 Plasma guns, Champ with power fist, Icon of Slaanesh Rhino twin bolter 280
10 Marines: 2 Meltaguns, Champ with power fist, Icon of Slaanesh Rhino twin bolter 270

Heavy Support
Vindicator: 125
Predator: Autocannon, Side Lascannons 130


1500 even

I gave this list 2 test today.  First against a foot slogging eldar and well beat me up pretty bad. But was a tie only due to objectives.  Note to self kill Avatars fast.  Next game was against a Blood angels army.  Hugged terrain and got a win in KP mission.  7 to 5  I should have backed up faster but oh well. 

To Chaos Space Marines or not?

Well with the 2011 tournament season starting I need to think about what army I really want to work on.  I have Orkz, IG, Tyranids and my long time favorite Chaos.  Now the Chaos Codex isn't horrible but it is far from good.  At least its better then Necrons.....    Maybe I should just turn my beloved Iron Warriors into the Iron space blood ultra dark angels with scars.....  Yaaaaaaa all i know is that for Ard boyz I am going to be the Chaos space wolfs.
