Goatboy's 40k Extra Thoughts: It's Amazing What Little Extra Time I Have

I blame da baby hahaha. He takes up a good amount of time and I have client work to do so that is done on any free time. Plus I hope to get some art done too. Ugh. Too much to do hahaha. And he is crying now downstairs... poor chunky munkey... But I keep moving along!

Paint the NecroOrk Stompa - this will be on dock maybe this weekend.

I am still thinking about what I want to play for LVO. I don't know if I want to go crazy with a build or just look at having some fun with some models and losing a game or two. It is just tempting to play with crap and see what I can do.

I played a tournament 2 weekends ago in San Antonio. It was a 2000 point, no limit event and I brought the following.

HQ: Bel'Akor
HQ: Daemon Prince, Wings, Armor, MoN, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
HQ: Chaos Lord, MoK, Juggernaut, Daemonheart, Powerfist, Lightning Claw
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
FA: Hell Blade, Autocannons
FA: Hell Blade, Autocannons
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5
Heavy: Maulerfiend, Lasher Tendrils
Heavy: Maulerfiend, Lasher Tendrils
Heavy: Maulerfiend
Heavy: Sicarian, Hvy Bolters, Malefic Ammunition, Dirge Caster

So a basic - CSM/CSM ally nonsense. It was fun - I didn't lose a game but didn't win enough to do awesome in the Battle Point event but still came out of it with a win on Best Paint. Man locally it is such a crap shoot with people and my paint so it is nice that other people enjoy the nonsense I bring. My game memory is kind of fuzzy but here is some info.

Game 1 - Zach I think - playing unbound - 10 Farseers on jet bikes and some war gear to make them shrouding and other shit. Eldrad and 10 Warlocks. Ugh right... One of the reasons why no one will ever let Unbound actually play. Still I won this game due to the mission giving you 2 KP for every force org slot that is destroyed or not there. I got 8 pts to begin and just played cagey enough to ensure I stayed alive. Crazy enough I casted some spells and summoned some daemons.

Game 2 - Pete with White Scars marines plus other marines. Bikes as usual. A weird mission with objectives that you collected as you played then a big one in the middle in the end. I ended up getting enough initial points to contest the middle and win in the end barely. The Sicarian took a lot of firepower to go down and killed 2 Attack Bikes and helped finish off a Bike Squad. Pete played too conservatively and that caused some issues.

Game 3 - Boyd with 3 Tall FW knights and 2 regular knights. One of each of the tall ones. This one was how many times could Boyd roll crap on a stomp. I killed all the knights with assault. Learned some Stomp rule stuff - you roll a d3 to see how many stomps you do and each unit gets one D6 roll to see what happens with the stomp. So less scary if you don't see any 6's. I would assault the knights on the side so the explosion of D in the middle didn't always hit me. Boyd was cool and had some nice looking models. Bel'Akor got 2 knights - Juggerlord got 1 knight, Maulerfiends helped kill the other 2.

Sorry if I butchered people's names or forgot stuff. I had a good time hanging out with my friend Endar even though the wife was mad cuz I was gone almost the entire day.

Lists so far for LVO with levels of what needs to get painted to be ready to go.

Chaos/Daemons/Etc

Dumb list # 1 - Crimson Slaughter + Chaos Space Marines

HQ: Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
HQ: Chaos Lord, Bike, Daemonheart, Sigil of Corruption, MoN, Powerfist, Lightning Claw
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
FA: Hellblade, Autocannons
FA: Hellblade, Autocannons
Heavy: Sicarian, Heavy Bolters, Malefic
Heavy: Maulerfiend, Lasher Tendrils
Heavy: Maulerfiend, Lasher Tendrils

HQ: Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
Troops: Cultists X 10
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
Heavy: Maulerfiend

Painting needed - none! So really this one is the easiest - ready to go. I won't win much with it - but damnit it looks fun. I could drop the Chaos lord and go with another Sorcerer if I felt like it. It would free up a few points to get another troop. Meh!

FMC Tzeentch seems to be a pretty good choice right now. Getting reroll 2+ to 4+ saves is pretty strong so it might not be a bad idea.

Daemons + Daemon Allies
HQ: Fateweaver
HQ: Daemon Prince, MoS, Wings, Armor, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift, Lvl 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoT, Wings, Armor, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift, Lvl 3
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoT, Wings, Armor, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift, Lvl 3

HQ: Bel'Akor
Troops: Nurglings X 3

Painting - 2 boxes of Nurglings as I have a ton of Daemon Princes. Summon stuff and go to town. It seems like another - simple list just built to survive and win the game based on missions.

Orks + Ghaz
Ork Horde Detachment
HQ: FW Warboss on Bike
HQ: Warboss, Bike, PK
HQ: Painboy, Bike
HQ: Mek, Rokkit
HQ: Mek, Rokkit
HQ: Mek
Troops: Gretchin X 10
Troops: Gretchin X 10
Troops: Gretchin X 10
FA: Deff Koptas X 5, TWL Rokkits X 5
LoW: Stompa, Grot Riggas

Ghaz Ghul Detachment
HQ: Warboss, Bike, PK, Big Bosspole
HQ: Warboss, Bike, PK
Elites: Tank Bustas X 5
Troops: Gretchin X 10
Troops: Gretchin X 10

Paint - Almost the entire thing - but it is Orks and I love to build crazy bikerz. I want to build my stompa and try this out. Heck it could work with the Stompa surrounded by Grots to keep the melta at bay - then I have 6 5+ rolls to get Hull Points back. Plus I can shoot rokkits out of it too. Meh - it looks goofy as all heck doesn't it.

Then of course I can do the Greentide as well.

Greentide
4 Squads of 9 Boyz plus Nob with PK and Eavy Armor
2 Squads of 9 Boyz plus Nob with PK
4 Squads of 10 Boyz
Warboss, Big Bosspole, PK

Ork Horde Detachment
Warboss, Lucky Stick, Mega Armor
Warboss, PK, Eavy Armor, Bosspole
Painboy
Gretchin
Gretchin
Gretchin
Warbuggies X 5, Rokkits X 5
Warbuggies X 5, Rokkits X 5
Mek Guns X 5, Smasha Gun X 5

Not really even painted at all - so the one most likely I won't do. But this reads ok on paper - it might be good.
