Battle Report - Space Wolves VS Tyranids

First semi-proper battle report is here!

The rules we were playing for this were:
500 points
At least 1 HQ
At least 1 Troop
All other points spent as desired

Space Wolves:
Rune Priest - Power Armour, Choser of the Slain, Storm Bolter, MH and LL powers
Lone Wolf - Terminator Armour, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield
Lone Wolf - Terminator Armour, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield
Grey Hunters x 5 - Melta Gun, Wolf Standard
Long Fangs x 5 - 4 Missile Launchers, Melta Gun

Tyranids - I cannot remember exactly what they were kitted out with, it was mostly the Warriors and Prime that had extra wargear.
Genestealers x 20
Zonethrope
Hive Guard
Tyranid Warriors x 3
Tyranid Prime

The table was set up in a city like layout, close quarters fighting was to be had. we didn't take pictures unfortunately or take a good account of what happened when. We really suck at this! however the result was Space Wolves winning in 3 to 4 turns, the game lasted around 50 mins which is far far faster than our normal games.

Watch this space for a more detailed report, I have to now go clean the flat >_<

Thursday Night In

Last night I rocked round to Fraser and JT's place to have some beers, build some models and generally have a good old geekfest. Built up some models, chatted about different tactics/army lists and discovered some interesting rules and abilities that we didn't know about. All in all, a pretty successful night!

 I know have;
5 Wolf Guard in Terminator Armour and various weapons, mostly close combat
7 Grey Hunters
1 Rune Priest in Power Armour

All but two of my models are wearing the same type of "Knightly" Helm although i'm now starting to add bitz to each of them to try and give them a little individuality.

Once I crack my camera out i'll post some pictures, I just want to get stuck in about painting them!

Hive Fleet Bahamut takes shape

Well i figured i may as well give everyone an update of whats currently going on with my beautiful beasts so here is the script so far.

On wednesday i got some models off a friend of mine who has been playing 40k for a long time and no longer uses nids (i know, what a complete fool) so he had some lying around which i happily took off his hands for a fee

From this i got:

1x Hive Tyrant
1x Tyrant Guard
20x Hormagaunts
30x Termagaunts
20x Genestealers
2x Zoanthropes
1x Trygon
6x Warrior Brood
1x Broodlord

And i already had

12x Hormagaunts
8x Genestealers
1x Deathleaper

So as you can see thats not a bad list to start with. Now i hear of lot of "these units are good, these not so much" and naturally i take them all into consideration, then i do what i want anyway! so i intend to try every unit out and play test the plastic breasts (or tyranid equivalent)off them!

Ill be sure to add some pictures soon and let you all see the sexiness that is my nids (unpainted currently... like their naked!) and let everyone see whats going on

for now, Frasie out

I have arrived

Thought i would introduce myself, im Fraser and you will probably be hearing a lot from me as more time passes becasue i generally always have something to say though usually not of PG rating!

Im currently working on a series of short stories that will show the progess of my hive fleet, why you ask? because i can! plus it sounds like a fun project and will be something a little different. I intend to write some of those stories regarding games i have with the other three dudes, or 'team' members and anyone else i generally play against! So for example if i played Mike (Space Wolves) and he defeated me then i will write a short story which includes said battle! so im hoping it will be fun to write (and include winning more than losing) but aslong as the games are fun then thats what its all about (MUST WIN!!!!)

Im the 'noob' of the group having never played at all! collected when i was like 14 and stopped but im back to 40k and ready to make people cry! watch this space!
