Hello,
My name is Jack, Aka Bassiecore, and i have an addiction... An addiction to plastic toy soldiers that is, and i have found myself with rather a lot of them laying around unpainted recently. So i gathered three like-minded (read: Insane) individuals, and we came up with a plan:
Taking inspiration from White Dwarf, we would create our own Tale of Four Gamers!
Unfortunately, the day we started, one of us dropped out. That means we are now a Tale of THREE GAMERS! Alex, if you are reading this: I am dissapoint.
That leaves us with the following armies:
Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons painted by myself, Jack/Bassiecore
Salamanders, painted by Jordan, known on this site as PaskPunisher
and Iron Warriors, painted by Lord Voldemort. And i am not joking. I said i would put this on the net and his reply was "I must not be named!". Jordan Green from the East Midlands, UK, suffers from slight paranoia like that
Now we agreed when we started this that we would put the log up only after we had first completed at least a single squad. This has now happened so without further ado, here they are:
Thousand Sons!Before pics, i will admit: This army uses the Grey Knights codex. I can feel the hate already, but i shall stick with it. Because i can
The first squad is nine strong, including a Deamonhammer, Halberd and Incinerator:
The specialists are mostly on the front row: Incinerator - Justicar - Halberd. The hammer guy is behind the Halberd-ist.
Another angle.
The keen eyed amongst you will notice that there are only eight marines there. This is because you are looking at the "army" as it was used in the Kill Teams matches held that day. Also, number Nine was not painted at the time. He is now.
also, you may notice in the first shot, and the next one, the Imperial Fist. This is Sigfried. He is my unit filler/objective marker, used if i ever feel like a 10 man squad, or need to play objective games. He *really* likes hanging out with Iron Warriors:
Iron Warriors!Originally, Voldemort decided to play Black Templars for this, but the rumors of a new BT codex stayed his hand and he allowed himself to be drawn in by the lures of Chaos: He found these in his cupboard...
This is a Chaos Marine squad, using Codex: Chaos Space Marines. The squad includes 3 specialists: A Meltagun, Lascannon and Aspiring Champion with a Power Sword.
The Meltagunner was a total boss in the killteams games, proving quite hard to kill and doing fairly decent damage to every building on the board -_-
If you care, the Kill Teams games went as follows:
The first was won narrowly by the Salamanders, due mostly to the fact that my Justicar could not hit the backside of a barn with his Force Sword, and the Sallie Sarge introduced him to Mr. Powerfist. Damn.
The second game tied between my 1ksons and the sallies. We used objectives for the lol's and tied 2-2.
Speaking of Salamanders:
Salamanders!This squad is annoying. Especially at 200pts when i cant take warding staves
See what i mean? Melta, Combi-Melta, MultiMelta. He sure does love Melta Guns! I can see this squad being a real problem for myself and Voldemort, especially once we go high enough in points for Jordan to use Vulkan He'Stan.
A close up of the one we all love to hate: That Bloody Powerfist. Seriously, none of my guys could land a hit on him. Ever. Well, except with Storm Bolter shots. And he was wearing Power Armour...
Misc Pics!The Three
Stooges Squad Leaders: Aspiring Champ - Sergeant - Justicar.
We Love Space Marines! And they love you too!
Thats all for now folks,
Until next time!
Bassiecore.
