Weeman 3-way Battle at Warhammer World - first pics

6th Degree, Pornstarjedi and I travelled to Warhammer World at the weekend and battled on the Fortress Table with our 3-way, 3500pt armies. These pics show the Relictor set up.Whirlwinds and Fast Attack poised for the rushing onslaught of Bugs and Daemons, scouts dug in around the objective...The 'Nid green tide approaches. Daemons were of course Deep Striking on turn one, so no deployment pics.Pornstarjedi will be writing up a batrep shortly to post so I won't give anything away to who might have been successful or not. Needless to say, we all enjoyed the battle loads and a few beers, our now traditional game egg custard tarts and a pile of grub in Bugmans Bar. Good weekend was had by all.

Relictors Mortis Pattern Rifleman Dreadnought #2

I've completed my second Relictors Mortis Pattern Rifleman Dreadnought using an Assault on Blackreach dreadnought chassis and two normal dread arms. I've tried to add similar scheme and bits to match the first (seen here, and at bottom of this post) so they are really a matching pair. The arms were designed from the Lascannon Arm, seen above and the Missile Launcher arm using bits from the Aegis Defence Line, Quad Mount Autocannons barrels and ammo bins. The method is described and documented by Ron at From the Warp and is easy to do. In honour of Ron, this one is named "Rhon", (more-like Imperial Gothic spelling), like his twin, "Drax", as a nod to other real nice bloggers who have been an inspiration and source of all things Weemen. The base of both use 28mm scale shell casings scattered about from the twin-linked pairs of Autocannons. And as you can see in the side profile pic above, I've used Melta Gun barrels to lengthen the rubbish short AoBR engine exhaust stacks to mirror the normal dread a bit more. The arms are magnetised as the 'pegs' for the AoBR dread are smaller than the standard arm 'slot', therefore only magnetised arms and the spare AoBR MM and DCCW arms can be used on this dread, Ron gets round this by wrapping some cardstock around the 'stud' - not that this Dreadnought will see any other action other than as a Rifleman - so much high strength, reliable dakka for such a low price, they are awesome. Here they both are side by side, vanquishing Daemons and 'Nids (hopefully) as you read at Warhammer World today at the Weemen 3way. I give you - Brother Drax and Brother Rhon.

Thanks for reading...

Relictors Space Marine Army List 3Way 3500pts

So, following the guidance Pornstarjedi posted (to include all his nasty daemons he's bought!) I set about coming up with a list to combat 'Nids and Daemons. The list has to do three things, 1 - to stand up in CC with Daemons and Bugs, 2 - to Shoot high AV Daemon Engines and high T Monsterous Bugs, and 3 - to pie plate large areas of the battlefield. So basically, bring all my toys and think about Troops last! ;)

Relictors 3500pts

HQ Marneus Relicgar (Armour of Ant, Eternal Warrior, God of War, Orbi, Titanic Might)
HQ Chaplain (Termi)
HQ Librarian (Termi, Null Zone to re-roll Inv Saves, Machine Curse)

TP Tactical Sqd (ML, Flamer, Rhino)

HV Whirlwind

Pie plates, CC and High Strength Shooty stuff.. done. The HQ choices will tag along with some Elites and FA to bolster their effectiveness and the MotF gives the Scouts more cover save + camo cloaks = 2+ in Fortress/Ruins/Buildings.


Wish the Imperial Forces good luck...

I'm not 100% on the way I'm going to tackle the 3way- deep striking in between the Nid's and Relictors isn't going to be pleasant experience. My gut says to go out fighting, attacking all sides- however a couple of bad deep striking mishaps (as I've experienced) could be critical in this battle, more than any. Therefore the 'initial' plan may involve setting up an initial landing point in the center of the board and attack from there. As you may have noticed that I do have the units now to field a very nasty 'unit' which from what I've read on various other blogs is pretty fearsome- I'll discuss this further after the battle.

roll on the 3way!

That’s exactly 3500pts.

I’m happy posting my list up early because there’s not much I can do about it…my army currently maxes out at about 4000pts, so I don’t have a huge amount of choice in what I can take – but I am happy with what I’ve got. And yes – I know I haven’t posted much whilst my collection has grown from 1500pts to 4000pts….but I am useless at getting round to taking pics. I’ll change. Promise.

There’s no way I am going to talk about tactics ahead of time (not with these crafty guys watching…) – although I am sure the astute readers out there will be able to look at Relictors and Daemon armies and my list and work out what I have in mind…*rasp croak hiss rasp growl* (the ‘Nid version of mwah ha ha ha ha)!

Relictors Whirlwind #2

Here's some pics of the latest addition to the Relictor's Battle Company. I was thinking ahead to next weekends Weeman 3Way at Warhammer World and thought some nice indirect pie-plates would be good bug killers.

The chains and skull motif are common on all of my Relictors vehicles.

The big skull is a cut down version of the horned skull from the Archaic Ruins boxset. The twin Whirlwind had the normal skull icon, these look a little 'meaner'.

Why Veritas? No idea, it began with V, like the other whirlwind Valus, kinda a nod to the German Vengeance weapons? Clever, indirect, fearful, ahead of their time - and the precursor to the space race.

And here they both are, Valus and Veritas, all I need now is the spotter Landspeeder for another Apoc Formation...

Blog Wars 2

Very quick post to say that I have just bought my Blog Wars 2 ticket so Weemen will be representing!!!

I'll be bringing along the 'Nids of course and will be posting about my list/modelling/painting shortly. Ooh - it also looks like there will be two other 'Nid players - score!!!

There is also a good chance that I will be dragging along a few "Friends of Weemen" from up north as well.

Check out From the Fang for tickets and info.

And don't forget to vote to help Siph site his LR Terminus Sponsons, poll in right hand bar >>>>

Poll - How to Mount Landraider Terminus Lascannons

How to mount all the Lascannons... please vote in the margin. Poll closes Bonfire Night >>>>>>>>
Like the Stock variant? Hmmm... good marketing shot, doesn't show that all the guns can't point forward!

Or like this using Predator Turrets on top http://weemen.blogspot.com/2010/08/land-raider-terminus-invictus.html like Pornstarjedi did.

Or like this extending the side sponsons out http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmcgreen/5797543449/in/photostream/

Relictors Landraider Godhammer Pattern "Zhiggae"

Hello Readers, this is the latest addition to the Relictor's growing Battle Company, the Godhammer Pattern, Landraider "Zhiggae".

I opted out of fitting the Multi-Melta, I know its only a cheap add-on but survivable anti-tank weapon, however with the PoftMS, I intend aiming one Twin-Linked Lascannon at one target, and the other using the PoftMS at another, so leave the other short range Landraiders, Redeemer and Crusader with the shorter range Anti-Tank Multi-Melta's instead.

The side doors are from FW, I opted to leave the front hatch as the standard kit and will 'bling' the eventual Crusader variant with a nice front hatch. And I have some Extra Armour for bulking out the eventual Terminus, once I can decide where I want to mount the extra single sponson Lascannons... triple side sponson, on top like Pornstarjedis, or FW Razorback turret type on top or Pred sponsons higher up and rear of side sponsons? Any suggestions? But not as the GW stock standard, blocking fire arcs of main armament! Stoopid. Maybe a poll is needed>>>>>>

I've weathered the tracks and surrounds with a bit of stippled mud to match all my other vehicles and as before, the LR has a crossed skull icon on the front (by PoftMS sensor) and some Chaos chains, visually linking her with the rest of my Armoury.

Now this is behind me, what's next... hmmm, maybe another Dreadnought in prep for the 3-way at the end of the month, and to finish of the chassis for the 2nd Whirlwind. And eventually I'll finish of the last squad of Devastators and HQ for my entire Battle Company - just missing these and 3 transports to have a Codex complete Battle Company (plus a considerable lot of extras!)

Thanks for stopping by. Siph out.

Whirlwind gets another Turret...

... or the slightly longer title of "2nd Whirlwind WIP but wanted to show it off anyway".
A similar turret to the first but with bigger missiles, just for variation. I will try to do the main body the same as the first too, and then maybe a Landspeeder with a Comms turret for the Apoc Formation.
