Holidays and stuff

As I'll be in Hungary for the next two weeks, I already wish you recreative Holidays and a Happy New Year!

I'm looking forward to 2013 very much, both in private and in hobby terms. I hope you all will have great new ideas for conversions or paintjobs and the strength to start new projects you always wanted to do.

Read you next year. ;-)

Cultists, we need moar Cultists!

Yes, we do! With their 4 pts. per model and a option to buy a heavy stubber or flamer for only 5 pts., these crazy fanatics are a quite nice element of the new Codex in my eyes.

As I always hoped for some kind of lesser human forces in an upcoming Codex when I started my Iron Warriors, I based my Renegades the same way I did with my Iron Warriors and painted them in a rather matching colour scheme. Now I can use my Renegades for both my Traitor Guard and my Iron Warriors. Hell yeah!

Last Saturday, two club mates and I have been to Ingolstadt on a 200 pts. Kill Team tournament. This is what I played:

10 cultists
+ heavy stubber (specialist [+1 BS])

9 Chaos Space Marines (one of them specialist [+1 T])
+ Plasma gun (specialist [+1 W])
- Champion /w twin-linked boltgun [Leader]

I won three times, had a draw and a loss once each. Overall, that got me the 2nd place in the torunament. I also won a medal for the best specialist conversions.

Here's the enemy's pain in the ass, the heavy stubber with BS 4:

Standard Template Construct: Champions of Chaos Contest

The guys at Standard Template Construct (visit them, it's an awesome blog!) launched an online contest for converted Chaos models (no vehicles except for Walkers, though) and all 17 entries are now online to be judged by the almighty readers. You can view them here:

Champions of Chaos - Judgement

I also compete with my Iron Warriors Daemon Prince and hope to get some votes at least. :)

Each winner of the sections "Best Conversion" and "Best Painted" will receive a 50$ voucher for Secret Weapon Miniatures.
