December Apocalypse

By TheGravemind 

 

Bloomington had their December Apoc game this past weekend. They based it off of the Rescue of the Revenge mission where chaos is boarding an imperial ship. It gave everyone a pretty small deployment area, very close to each other. It also put a size limit essentially limiting the super heavies that could be brought.

apoc followed by apoc

due to holidays and some family drama I was unable to post but I should have a few games I played posted on here in the next few days but to hold you over till then. A couple of weekends ago I played two apoc games in one weekend, one in which TheGraveMind played with me. He already posted about it here so ill just post the few pictures I took and leave it at that. The other apoc game ill post in another post and mention the key moments so not to over load one post with so many pictures.

tyranids vs chaos

Hi knowsaj here, this is my first battle report so im open to criticism. I was playing my tyranids and Nemesis his nurgle marines, also Nemesis took all the picture (all 73 of them I had to go through with most being blurry messes).

Sacrifice to Khorne

I personally hate the Khorne bezerker models. Their poses make them look like they are dancing the robot, and they wear the bunny ears of doom helmets. In my chaos army, I enjoy their stats and effects, but my army is not demon worshiping, so they'll be elite assault units. Or for normal marines they are just Assault marines. Either way they needed to be less korny.

Adding a little character

My Chosen Chaos Marines. Nine veterans elite, five with plasma guns.

This past week I've been playing my newly formed Chaos company. My last few Tyranids are on the painting table, and they may be the topic of my next post, we'll see. Looking at the differences between these two armies, something hit me. I actually enjoy assembling my Chaos marines. For the nids the bodies are pretty much set, and there are almost no variance in the head, all you get to change is the position of the arms. With two sets of arms, there is limited room for cool poses, unless you fully plan it out. Not to mention that each Space marine can essentially be equipped differently, and have cool accessory pieces. All tyranids in a squad are equipped the same, and even if I decorate them, they are just a mutation, nothing more.
And so I realized, my CSM can actually have character and personality.

The Unredeemed

Those weak of mind are sought out. Those craving power search them out. The Ruinous Powers of the warp toy with the minds of mortals and twist the bodies to their wills. By some strand of fate, The Lords of Chaos have called out to me and I have answered their call.
