1850 UM/IG list

Hey guys,

sorry for the lack of posts on here. My biweekly vlog over at warhead has been taking up all my blogging energy, whilst I work on all my university stuff, new responsibilities as captain and life in general. Anyway, this time I'll just leave you guys with a list I'm bringing to a tourney next weekend (Turku Fanatic).

Tigurius
lvl 2 Librarian with a force axe
4x5 marines with a lascannon
5 scouts
thunderfire cannon
company command squad
platoon command squad with 4 flamers
50-man blob with 5 lascannons
vendetta
2 leman russ executioners with lascannons and plasma sponsons

As you can see, the list reacts to the fact that the Finnish scene has turned into pure monster bash. Things that I'm still considering are

1) whether the librarian should be my warlord. Tigurius' trait isnt all that good with this list, I think I'd be better off rolling on the rulebook tables.

2) bike on the libby. Extra slingshoting for the blob might be nice. Then again, this is really mainly a shooty blob so the points might be better spent elsewhere.

Anyway, I need to look out for helldrakes (not sure whether the twinlinked lascannons will cut it) and tyranids (although the executioner squadron is golden in that matchup). A lot of matchups require psychic powers to turn my way so that's why I have the second libby (and for the str5 force axe against pesky riptides and wraithknights).

Imperial Guard Hellhound variants

I managed to get a game in with my Krieg, and I think I found a rather nice list. It's central feature is using the speed of the devil dog. At first glance the bane wolf seems like certainly the best variant of the hellhound, the devildog being a weird melta-thingy, but after testing the truth with the bane wolf is, once you commit it, you kill it, 'cause the range of the chemical cannon. The devil dog, instead, can buzz around 12" and fire 24", the blast is ap2 and str8 so it chews up MEQs quite nicely, to top it off since they are fast, they make perfect objective snatchers. So my final list includes a fast element of 6 of these, some deepstriking stormtroopers with meltas (although being expensive, they are the only deepstriking unit in the army, unless if you buy a valkyrie for the unit, which in turn would be more expensive) sly marbo and a solid core of camo-cloak vets. Cam-cloak vets, because they can go to the ground on my objective and watch my forces close in for 5th turn contesting. Also the Daemonhunter's tournament package(as I like to call it) for those drop pod spam and twin lash armies is a nice buy. 1 inquisitor lord w/ psychic hood, 2 mystics and a servo skull (for being so cheap) fits the role, only for 85 points (yes you have to buy the inquisitor lord, 'cause the basic inquisitor has a ld8, not good with the psychic hood). Here is the list in all it's glory:

My Death Korps of Krieg

So here is the problem. I have 50 of these beautifully sculpted dkok minis but I just dont feel right about the codex. I really liked the move and fire ability of my BT terminators, but I dont know how to make a similar reactive force for the guard. I'd like some help. Have you guys got any ideas?

Hey!

So this is my first post into my new blog that tells everything about my 40k hobby. I enjoy painting but I also like to game with my friends. Currently I'm working on some guard and Black Templars so I thought I'd share some pics. The BT are getting a paintjob that I wanted to give the impression that the armour was very shiny!
