  5. @Ben Johnson Yay, ghoul bros! I had a Stormcast list I was happy with but realistically was never gonna get it built and painted Can I also be cheecky and ask to borrow some terrain?
  6. List submitted, after much dithering going with death!
  7. Good points, destruction can always have battle line with fanatics to really block enemies and death battle line keep coming back though so balanced out. But definitely taking battle line that works with your army is s great idea!
  8. So time to get this blog going again. I've been spending a lot of time recently thinking about what's needed to build a competitive army list. These ideas are for any method of playing not comp specific. 1. A damage dealer Every list needs something that can be relied upon to go out there and kill enemy war scrolls - this can be a big monster, a killer combat unit, warp fire throwers, anything that can deal consistent damage. 2. Better make that at least two damage dealers. Redundancy is your friend. They are going to have big scary things as well - you'd better have a back up for when yours dies. 3. Scoring units What this looks like depends on what comp system/scenario you are playing. If it's a mix you'd better include some of each sorry needed. After all you can't win if you can't score. These can double with later options but best not do so with your damage dealers - you don't want to have to hold them back to score. Ideally these will also be very survivable. 4. Screening units Since you've got war scrolls that can kill or cripple enemy scrolls on the charge, you can bet your opponent has as well!! In order to make sure you get the charge in you need units to hide behind to keep your big guys safe. 5. Movement tricks In many of the scenarios you need to be able to cross the battlefield very quickly in order to claim objectives. Summoning, fast flying units, cavalry all fill this role. 6. Ranged threat Some form of ranged threat is needed in order help pick out protected synergy characters. This most commonly takes the form of missile attacks, but spells and other abilities can serve the same use. These are just my thoughts, what do you all think? Did I miss anything? Later I will post a death list based on these principles as an example. Rob.
  9. It isn't unfortunately, too sick to attend. Absolutely gutted, was super looking forward to it ?
  10. Thank you, once army is actually based well try to get some photos with better light levels. For some reason they are all coming out really dark. Also got more progress pics to add. The bull heart himself and the rest of the liberators.
  11. This weekend I'm going to the Throne of Skulls at warhammer world. My original plan was to take my death army with me, however sure to the more narrative and fun orientated nature of the event I felt it was the wrong choice (it's set up as a very competitive list). I was struggling to work out what to take instead when I remembered on Friday that I'm not limited to one grand alliance, just to 30 models. I decided to do a force inspired by the Josh Reynolds audio dramas. Writing the list was easy, start with Manfred, Tarsus (celestant prime on foot) and Ramus (Lord relictor). Fill rest in with standard foot models - no prime, no deep striking, nothing from the extremis chamber. That left me with seven days to get 29 models finished, I got everything built sprayed and eleven finished on Monday leaving me with the target of six a day so I could base them all on Friday. Currently I on plan with just six left to do, here are some photos of my progress.
