Gaming Extravaganza

Things seem to be rocketing off at the moment, I managed to get no less than 8 Games in the last week.

1200pts Slaaenshi Daemons vs 1200pts VC (Fern)
HoS Siren song
HoS Siren song + BSB
9 Seekers
29 Daemonettes
2 x 1 Fiends

Played Dawn Attack and managed to bottle the Vampire counts in a corner.  Seekers are absolutely horrible to play and died easily to a black coach.


1200pts Nurgle Daemons vs 1200pts VC (Fern)
HoN, level 1
29 Plaguebearers
2 BoN
1 BoN
3 Pox Riders
3 Nurglings

I basically fed her vampire unit chaff so I could Hold the objective with my Plaguebearers who got to the objective in turn 2. Hex wraiths kept on scythign through the building. I lost more than she did but rolled a 6 for Watchtower on 4th turn and took home the goods.

2400pts Daemons vs 2400pts VC (Fern)
4 HoK in 29 Bloodletters, 1w/ AoK +BSB Standard of Sundering, 3 w/ FB +AoK
2 x 1 Fiends
3 Screamers
5 Furies

This is a Brutal list which shredded through most of her army and eventually killed the Vampire bus Fern had rolling. Pretty much a battle for the pass secnario as well so not a lot of manouvering could be done.


2400pts Daemons vs 2400pts Skaven (Hamish)
Took the above list and fairded really badly due to artillery. The standard of sundering blocked all the dreaded 13th attempts. Must block skitterleap and doom rocket because that is pants.

2400pts Daemons vs 2400pts Orcs & Goblins (Nick)
Cut down to 3 Bloodletter hordes and GUO. Proceeded to take sever advantage of Nick's abysmal dice rolling and

2400pts Daemons vs 2400pts Warriors of Chaos(Hamish)
Took the above list and my GUO didn't manage to kill . The res to fo Bloodletter hordes died badly.

3000pts Daemons vs 3000pts VC (Storm of Magic) (Fern)
Took the above list again and added, Dark Emissary, Spawn of Khorne,

2400pts Daemons vs 2400pts Warriors of Chaos (Hamish)
GUO died to gateway first turn. The rest of the game was spent not moving whilst Hamish moved his troops slowly across the table. I almost accounted for his Knights, and 2 units of 5 Skullcrushers. 'nuff said.


I may need to take Billy the blood thirster and bunker my HoTz in a large anvil of Horrors. I need an all comers list.

So I'm looking at:
Bloodthirster w/ AoK, Axe of Khorne, Immortal Fury, Spellbreaker
2x HoK w/ FsB +AoK, 1 BSB in 2 units of 29 Bloodletters

1 HoTz w/ Mastery of Sorcery + Spellbreaker bunkered in 29 Horrors with icon of sorcery.
3 Screamers
2 x 1 Fiend

I'nm still trying to figure out the best Lore and have been flipping through, Shadows, Light, Life and Death. Maybe Beasts.

Sturm der Magi: Dämonen Vs Vampirfürsten

So finally got around to a storm of magic game last night. I ended up taking:

Lord of Change w/ Master of Sorcery Death, Level 3, Twin heads
Herald of Tzeentch w/ master of Sorcery Light, Spellbreaker
Herald of Khorne BSB firestorm blade and armour of Khorne
Herald of Khorne firestorm blade and armour of Khorne
29 Bloodletters w/ full command
29 Bloodletters w/ full command
22 Horrors w/ full command
3 Screamers
1 Fiend
1 Fiend
1 Giant
1 Chimera w/ poison
1 Cokatrice w/ poison and breath

Nick took;
Vampuire Lord
Necromancer
Vampire
3 units of 20 Zombies, 30 Skeletons, 25 Ghouls
30 Grave Guard and Wight Lord
2 Mortis Engines (look suspiciously like a giant spider and a terrogheist)
Level 4 Zoat
4 Dragon Ogres

Battles are looking a lot better at the club with new scenery.

It was a fairly brutal match which didn't see much close combat. Hilarious moments included 3 Screamers beign charged by unit of zombies who melted away in the boiling river and then being charged by another unit. Grave guard getting crystal mazed in the first turn as well as all wizards on both sides getting turned into frogs. Cockatrice ate necromancer on one of the Fulcrums. Zoat getting sniped by Lord of change and death spells on fulcrum in the middle. Dragon ogres getting wiped out by Bloodletters, ghouls getting wiped out by bloodletters. Dragon Ogres suck. I won. First Storm of Magic for both of us. Very fun and a little insane.

This is all in preperation though. 

I'm honing in on using big blocks of Bloodletters to the effect that when the teams tournament is in February I'm looking at...

Great Unclean one, level 2, balesword and noxious vapours
1 Herald of Tzeentch, MoS-Lgiht, Spellbreaker and Disc
3 Heralds of Khorne, 1 with AoK and BSB, 2 w/ AoK and FS leading
3 x 29 Units of Bloodletters
2 x 1 Fiends

Brutal what?

There will be enough frontage to not be out maneouvred and the 2 fiends to deal with flankers and chaff. GUO there to deal with anything big and absorb the occasional cannon.

How Brutal?

The Tzeentch Herald with light is there to buff the Bloodletters. I might take Furies instead of one of the fiends but otherwise 

Very brutal.


It's simlar to Mike King's list but with a better Greater Daemon and fiends instead Screamers. I have to practice more with it and get my spellcasting and movement more decisive.

Pox Riders & Cockatrice done

Quick update, I got Kairos and my Daemon Battalion delivered so had to squeeze these guys out, I present to you my finished Cockatrice and 3 Pox riders of Nurgle.
