A Possible New 2k Point List

Hey guys. I was on my way home today and i had the most awesome idea: to make a ridiculous 2000 point list! The way i made it somewhat follows what i field normally, my mechanized list, to a mainly assault marine force! here it is:


HQ

Dante-200 pts
Lemartes- 125 pts
Honor guard squad: Sanguinary high priest, Tech adept, Chapter champion, Chapter banner, 2 power weapons(one on the high priest and on another vet), 1 plasma pistol,
Jump packs - 315 pts
Troops

Assault squad 1: 5 men, power fist - 165 pts
Assault squad 2: 5 men, power fist - 165 pts
Assault squad 3: 5 men, power weapon - 155 pts
Assault squad 4: 5 men, power weapon - 155 pts

Elites

Death company: jump packs, 5 guys - 25 pts
Veteran assault squad 1: 2 power weapons, 1 power fist, 2 melta guns - 225 pts
Veteran assault squad 2: 3 power weapons, 2 melta guns - 215 pts

Heavy support

Whirlwind 1: bare points - 85 pts
Whirlwind 2: bare points - 85 pts
Whirlwind 3: bare points - 85 pts




Seeing the look on my opponents face when fielding the army - Priceless

Legands Gets Solar Power

Well not the kind that actually dose anything, but this weekend Bay Hammer in conjunction with Legends Comics in Cupertino officially opened the roster for the Macharian crusade (as provided by BoLs) The mood was casual as we all started going over the layout of the campaign and army costs where decided.

In a more hi lariating turn of events Co editor Ian was apparently torn apart by self proclaimed newbie Waagh leader Zach, though I was not able to witness this spectacular (though he claims narrow) victory I was assured that Ian's blood angels where on the receiving end of a good krimp'en so congrats to Zach.

Alright this last bit is important so read carefully if you want to enter the campaign cause slots are limited and we do have prize support.

There is no entry fee:
That's right since this will be Bay Hammer and Legends first major GW sponsored event we are giving you the first taste free.

Sessions will be held every Saturday until the end of the campaign:
possibly extended if theres a tie in the scores.

The minimum points required are 1500 and no less:
you can make any combination you want to achieve this just make sure it is all outlined in your list.

Army lists required:
please submit your lists to me through the Bay Hammer gmail at BayHammer@gmail.com
these have to be submitted to me by this weekend after that we cant take any more entries cause the campaign will be kicking off this Saturday.

Have fun:
in all seriousness we are not running a major tourny here, we are hanging out and playing through the campaign and if you happen to make top dog you get some swag, armies don't have to be painted but it is preferred.


Now enjoy some pics from Saturdays meet up:

everyone having a totaly not staged moment

The Ass kicking in progress

Happy gaming

Space Wolves: Update Battleforce

Hey there Ian reporting a little leak i came across! like above this is about the happy space wolves! They will be getting their own battleforce! yay! i know what you must be thinking right now...What do you get in the said battleforce????!!!! Well what i came across is it comes with 2 squads of scouts, a squad of space wolves pack, and a drop pod...OH before i forget! Yet another codex will be coming out after the upcoming Tyranid dex. dun dun duuuun! anyways the new one dex that will be coming out is for the Blood angels! After hearing this i was pretty happy. They havent really got their own codex and yet they did...i just hope they bring in more abilities to use with assault marines! cause that is the blood angel way. Also for the dark eldar fans i heard a possibility about them getting a new codex as well. i dont know when that will happen but ill look into it and let you all know about the news when i come across it.

-till next time, happy gaming

Update: Nids Cover and link

Since the last Article was rather rushed I thought I should appropriately link to the GW announcement and what have you. So with out further hesitation and what not here's the link, also enjoy the preview of the new Codex up top there.


The announcement mentions some new models and a creature no one has ever seen before, could it perhaps be a dominatrix like creature/brood beast one can only speculate on whats in store for the next nids book but I for one am tingling with anticipation for new models to mutilate for my up coming Chaos Tyranids minidex.

The new quarter internal SKUs should be coming out around Christmas so I will try and "acquire" a copy so we might get a glimpse of what GWs Q3 releases are.

NEWS:Nids Codex

Not sure how to stretch this out but it just came down the line (as well as the GW website) that the new Codex Tyranids will be released this January, so brace yourselves for the next wave of nid mania induced lists. On that note now would be a good time to start speculating on what your anti nid lists are going to be. As for an exact date in January I have no idea but bank on it being a tuesday.

Our Sponsor WCC is offering something off the radar this week (or atleast thats what I am told) they are selling pre orders of the new and supposedly un announced Space wolves battleforce. While I hope that dropped a few jaws I havent been in to check on GW througly so please flog me if this is already known, if not then you heard it here first, cause thats what I am here for to do things that all the big names miss (gotta have a niche)

So start drafting up your bug crushing massive last stand anti nid lists now gentlemen, the hive fleet approches.

Cheers

P.S.
I have been getting on Ian about starting his editorial section so expect more words soon.

The Wolf Pack has arived

A Word from our sponsors:
West Coast Comics and collectibles now has all the Space Wolves plastic kits and the codex now listed for pre sale at there usual 25% off. I am told they have already burned through there first pre order batch of 15 units so get your order in today.

Bitz and bobs:
Ok so after the space hulk rant I suppose I should put on the brakes for awhile (even if I have barely been getting a post in) but The new IG bitz on the new release page grabbed my attention, both in a good and bad manner. I love the gun crew and the tank commander, how ever the poor excuse for heads they are offering just blew me away with the absolute lack of wow factor, a few of them look ok but as they appear to be attempting to offer some sort of variety in the selection you get they fall damn short in my book. Now don't get me wrong I love GW has finally cracked the seal on kitbashing for the IG but come on, for the money I can still honestly say I would rather stick with my pig iron heads, they don't have the variety but you get more and they are about the same price. I am sure this will raise much disagreement among some of the GW loyalists but I was just not happy with the offering. The fact that they are also pumping out more metal minis is also disparaging as a lot of us are still hoping for the great plastic change over.

All in all there are some interesting bitz there but nothing really special, as I said the gun crew was a great little set and if your looking to kit out your Russ with the Pask like character the tank commanders set seems a solid bet. But as for the other offerings such as the Aquilas and tank baggage it just fails to perk my interest or indeed serve a purpose other then make a feeble attempt to reconcile us for the loss of the bitz service.
