what do you think?

The two missing pages from the chaos Codex.

I have been whining like a little pig about the new chaos codex, when asked do you like the new book, my answer is more like "its ok", and I am sure some people will like it and even love it.

In a previous post before the new book was released I did some thinking, we all want a new codex but what do we want it for, what is wrong with it.

This is what I thought/said:

"What was wrong with the current codex? Do we want a new book just because its old?

• I think the fact that you could mix gods in the list was a bit extreme. They partialy addressed this making the 4 marked units elites and the unlocking them with the correct lord. seems a reasonable change. 
• Also some things seemed so good they made everything else redundant. For example demon prince with lash, I played them and loved them in my slannesh warband. Another example are obliterators the Swiss knife shooter makes havoks look bad. And they just got better with their terminator armour. I think they did a good job here but pretty standard (points upgrade), they fixed the points for raptors, havoks making them more desirable. Obliterators went down 5 points and can take marks but the reduced points for havoks and the fact that they are more wounds and can take AA missles makes them a good competitor. Lash got cut and i dont blame them even if it moved d6" it would be have been used.
• Demons were pretty useless in the codex other for some fluff lists but now you can ally with Demons. Sorted but chaos Icons dont prevent scattering? Why?
• Most of the characters are lacking cool factor, but I think this is been amended in the new edition.They did fix all the characters,, they are useful, fun and competative.
• Also I want to make a nightlord Warband based on the nightlord series for a while now, but up until now I could not, or at least not a competitive one. Not achieved. "

and here was my wish list:

• I would like to get 2 boxes of the possest raptors to create the bleadding eyes( nightlord demonic raptors) Not 100% sure about this box, I would have liked the old style jump packs. I will let you know when I start making the bleading eyes unit.
  
• See if the new book can make a good nightlord list. It has improved priced units but no.
  
• See how it will affect my nurgle army and my slannesh army. Fine if not better thought lost the demon princes cause of points.
  
• Cultists
• See this new flying mashine. Can I finaly but a chaos lord on a mechanical dragon? its ok, I thought I was going to buy one but no.
  
• New plastic kits. Plastic cric and more obliterators? No.
  
• I would also like to see a nightlord special character.  Fail fail fail. 

I would like to think I am a reasonable person I don't like the dragon and the beasts and the mutilators, I know some people that love them, even though some of them are 10-12 years old, or have the mindset of a 12 year old, or buy anything anyway or are a staff member or most of the above combined.
And thats cool people like diferent things and that is realy good. I don't mind lash got cut, or demons and defilers cost alot more. Or even icons changing. But gw did nothing for the people that are 25+ that have read the horus heresy and want to make a warband from the other 4 traitor legions, (alpha, night lords, iron hands and word bearers). I suppose with the warpsmith, dark apostle and cultist combined with allies can make a decent iron hands and wordbearers list.

I have been complaing about it on every blog the chaos codex is discussed, I keep saying 2 pages where all I needed to be happy. The normal space marines have 6 codexes could they not brake down the chaos one into 2-3 books, or at least sacrifice 2 pages as I will show you bellow?
http://www.scribd.com/doc/110056768/Legion-List-Rules?secret_password=ihnb1o1mt9xw3snk6fk#fullscreen

Each legion set of rules is not more than 4 lines. Nice and simple, all the rules pre-exist thanks to 6th edition I could do more  and twist more into it , special units and characters but lets  not go there. It took me half an hour to write it up, 2 pages... they could not write for me 2 pages. Corect me if I am wrong but the nightlord novels have been one of black libraries best selling ones.

I am planing to present this at  GW headquarters, when and to who I dont know yet. I know nothing will come out of it. There is always the hope that they might split the chaos legions, or at least there is forgeworld, but preheresy means no bleeding eyes. who knows.

If you read up to hear thank you, please let me know if you think something is too powerful or not good enough. I am already thinking to make the d3 infiltrators in the alpha legion an auto warlord trait.

Were are some pictures:
A mark 4 nightlord, he will be preheresy for a facebook group competition. I am waiting for the forgeworld preheresy missile launcher.

 I have also been working on Xarl and Talos.

And for my plague marine army I am working on the jetbike

I have also started working on a new epidemius made with the new plastic nurglings (photos soon)

EDIT: I already got some feedback, d3 infiltrators is getting cut from the Alpha legion and the Night lords will get it as their default warlord trait. I think Alpha legion need another rule.

Chaos space marine lord.

 Hello readers! It's Friday!

Having sold my Nurgle army, the buyer asked me to make him a 1750 list, the army now seems to be around 2000p. With the defiler, and demon Prince going up alot in points. I did realize also that he needed a chaos lord with mark of nurgle to make the plague marines into troops.

So I let the buyer know I would be adding a chaos lord free of charge.
This is what I put together, still unpainted. 

I wanted the lord to be a bit bigger than the normal chaos marines,  so I have made him a bit bigger than normal marines but without been out of proportion.

I cant spray inside the house cause my girlfriend has asma, and it too damn cold in the shed.

and here are some pictures from my game this Wednesday vs necrons at the sons of war gaming club in Cambridge.

27 counters on epidemius

the demons like their chances

Nurgle Army is sold! Grey knights coming up for sale soon.

I am happy to announce my army is sold, the seller asked me to write a 1750 list and with the new codex the army can easily reach 2000p. I will as a gift build and paint a chaos lord with mark of nurgle (too make the plague marines troops).

Next I have a small force of grey knights to sell, 10 terminator /paladins a dread knight and a LR crusader.

I still have 2 commisions, and then I am commision free, unfortunatly maelstrom has delayed my paints.

On another note the jetbike is coming along nicely,  photos of it tomorrow.

Plaguebearers-Epidemius list updated/DeathGuard Jetbike WIP1

 Plaguebearers-Epidemius list updated

This weekend I found some time to do some modelling, I also
hada  read of the new chaos codex, so I have done the changes needed to my list.
Pros and cons of the new codex in regards to my nurgle list.

• Death guard, I played 4x7 with only one champion. The cost of the P.M went up 1 point, but the champion is included, so all in all my 28 plague marines went up by 10-12 points (can't remember exactly ) but I now have champion in each unit so I gained 3 attacks, the champions might be usefull to accept, issue challenges and have cc poisoned +4  which means against t4 and t3 you get to reroll to wound, very usefull against marines. So I am happy with the price change.
•  Demon princes are very expensive, a great blow to the list, they were probably too cheap, but they were my starters for epidemius tally, fire magnets, vehicle destroyers and early wipe out of units. they will now be replaced by a chaos lord on bike and 4 bikers 2 with melta guns.
• Icons no longer prevent deep striking scatter, quite annoying means that epidemius has a chance of deep striking badly.

So this is the list now, the bikes are still experimental:

lord

Mark of nurgle

Bike

power weapon

bligt grenade

plasma pistol

melta bomb

5 plague marines

2 plague marines

2 plasma guns

fist

Rhino

5 plague marines

2 plague marines

2 plasma guns

5 plague marines

2 plague marines

2 melta guns

5 plague marines

2 plague marines

2 melta guns

Fast

blight Drone

3 bikes

2 bike

mark of nurgle

fist

2 melta guns

Epidemius

7 plaguebearers

 DeathGuard Jetbike

 Good news is that the change of the lists opens some nice modelling options, instead of bikes I want to make some astartes jet bikes (counts as bikes)  with a nurgle twist on them.

My plan is to build one jetbike mold and cast it and then nurle- them individually. So here is what I have done:

Plasticard, a lego blok, a blades container milliput and rubber bands!

Bands removed, some filling and drilling done, added the exhaust too. Can anyone guess where the engine is from?

Also did some work on my greek dreadnaught

Deathwatch Minotaur "Anileis" finished.

 Deathwatch Minotaur "Anileis" is now finished. It was fun building him and painting him.

Once again if you fancy painting and or donating a deathwatch marine have a look here .
