very lovely :)

Damn will have to rebuild my list to account for points increase.

Well played (painted) everyone

Vow complete, all battle ready

Armour has a weird impact on the game imo. Most balanced armies will have a mixed amount of anti tank and anti infantry shooting. Thats why i like left field armies to an extent. All tank or all infantry armies reduce the effectiveness of a portion of their armies. With only a couple of dreads and a repulsor im not expecting them to last long, but as long as the repulsor gets to do its job, its all gravy (and a couple extra meltas is always nice) i suppose the alternative is just to focus on angry infantry to do all the heavy lifting.

Thanks, it helps divert the eye away from the flat base coated minis, once done it should all tie together and ill put OSL (lava glow) on etc.

For the call to arms painting challenge i set myself a target of 10 intercessors 10 assault intercessors Captain Lt Chaplain Dante Sanguinor Judiciar (ninja chaplain) quite a target considering im very slow at painting, however i decided to go for a battle ready approach and revisit later on to do the fancy stuff, that way i get to actually play games too. So here is most of my vow, only a couple of characters to finish before im done.

yeah ive been on the fence about mephy, 120 points is a lot though and whilst he is a beatstick, im not sure what else he brings to the list. so what im potentially looking at is Astorath Lemartes Chaplain - gift of foresight (with 10 x death co in repulsor) Chaplain Chaplain 10 death co -power fist/plasma pistol -power fist - 2 eviscerator 5 death co -power fist/plasma pistol -eviscerator 5 death co -power fist/plasma pistol -eviscerator 10 death co -power fist/bolt rifle -2 eviscerator 10 death co -power fist/bolt rifle -2 eviscerator 10 death co with jump packs -3 power fist/plasma pistol -2 eviscerator 10 death co with jump packs -3 power fist/plasma pistol -2 eviscerator Death co dread -blood talons -twin melta Death co dread -blood talons -twin melta Repulsor -Twin las -las talon

So having decided to go for battle ready rather than my own definition of finished, they dont actually look too bad. Lots more work needed, but im probably going to get the whole army to this standard so i can play games, then carry on working on them after. Only Dante and ninja chaplain left to finish and my vow is complete. 50pts for griffindor.

looks tasty, what would you use instead of lost brethren? LAG? DC do lack long range fire support, but has alot of speed, which helps for taking objectives too. Might have to actually table a list and see what happens.

Hi guys im quite liking the idea of running an all death company army. In fact its a good way to repurpose all those reivers ill never use. I guess other than to take non DC units and paint them black with red crosses, it limits us to being very close range. Assuming 2k, how would you build a DC army? and would you use lost brethren or not? Would you limit yourself to only DC units or not?

List looks tasty, ive been running AI since i took up BA and it really works for me. Not only do i need the rerolls (i roll alot of ones, not a joke), but the fall back and shoot/charge gives us tactical flexibility. for my fire support i rock two ballistis and a lancer. For the rest i decided on weight of numbers so have dante with ten jump intercessors Lt with 10 intercessors chaplain with 6 bladeguard Captain with 10 sternguard and sanguinor to round off for five characters. i still have 2 x 5 scouts for secondaries and 2 x 5 jump intercessors for trading. i havent run it competitively yet, but so far i really like it.

The i shall make my vow on time :)

Painting goes slowly, however most of the models are basecoated to the standard above. With all basecoats washes and bases done, would i be allowed to call them complete for purposes of the challenge? if i paint them to the standard i want to i may not be finished on time

looks fantastic, only slight critique, is he looks way too DA atm, maybe a head swap?
