Hey all, Fox here. So for the past year or two I've been striping and repainting my Eldar army. Here are the videos of where I started in 2009 and where I am so far in 2010. I still have a long way to go haha. Enjoy.

Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse Game

2011-06-17T07:46:00.000-07:00

Who can play: The game starts Saturday Aug 13th 15:00-23:00. Anyone that has paid for the event ($5.00) and has painted (3 colours and based) models,

How many Points? Bring your army in 500 point blocks, if your super heavy is over 500 points bring some units to bring the total to 1000 points.

What should I bring? Super heavies are very welcome, standard 40k models (It may be an idea to take something that can take out a super heavy just in case) Please don’t bring more models then you can handle moving and rolling for in a turn.

Are my own creations welcome? Scratch builds that are reasonable are quite welcome but must be based and have 3 colours. Pepsi can as a dreadnaught isn’t going to cut it.

What is this all about? This is a huge game of 40k using the Apoc rules set.

Is there a points cap per person or team? Not currently but again please only bring as many models as you can roll and move in a turn 15 mins per phase... 45 min total.

What will this look like? It will be four 6x4 tables, arrangement TBD. Expect to see between 20-25 buildings arranged on the table with streets in between them wide enough to accommodate a Baneblade. In addition the table will be about 6" of clear space to allow for easier deployment.

Teams how will that work? Points will be calculated and two teams will be made from the people that have arrived. 5 strategic assets will be allowed per side but No assets with formations. Flank march is acceptable but only one army per side can use it, no jammers will be allowed.

What are we fighting for? Team 1 will be fighting to control a WMD powerful enough to destroy the plant and prevent the opposing team from escaping through the Ork teleport platforms and Eldar webway gates. The opposing team has lost the planet and is trying to detonate the WMD and escape through the platforms and gates. At the end of the game if team 2 (opposing team) has control over the WMD they have won and have gained bonus points for any unit they have had escape through the gates and platforms. If team 1 holds the WMD and prevents enemy units from escaping they win.

Force Org Charts do they matter? Nope not at all, troops will be required to hold objectives

Dark Eldar Vs Grey Knights 1500pts

2011-05-26T20:26:00.000-07:00

I was tabled.. so hard. ok so what I wanted to do was make battle reports with the sound recorded later. I'm finding that I don't have enough video so I'll have to do the entire report there while the game is going and then maybe rerecord the audio or just keep it. we'll see.

The New Razorwing

2011-05-26T06:40:00.001-07:00

Omg I love this model! I'm going to have to pick up two and change my current one into a Nightwing. <3 GW

Dark Eldar vs Guard 1300 pts

2011-05-25T20:10:00.000-07:00

Totally forgot to keep track of the turns so talked about some units I really liked. I hope to have some better reports in the future.. Sry about the fail here haha.

Store Terrain Project: Part Three

2011-05-23T00:00:00.000-07:00

Final installment, here is the final piece of this series. I'm 99% done just need to add a few touch up here and there. I fully admit to being a crappy painter. I'm more of an assembler I suppose. Hope you enjoyed this little series of videos and they helped to inspire to build some more terrain for your own gaming table.

Store Terrain Project: Part Two

2011-05-22T00:00:00.000-07:00

Second installment, I'm happy with the outcome so far but I have a ways to go. I need to clean up the spru bits and get everything based. Then on to painting!!

Store Terrain Project: Part One

2011-05-21T13:27:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a surprise for a Petawawa Store. They don't have a lot of terrain but are a great group of ppl. So I thought I'd make a little terrain out of some extra bits I had around the house. Here is the video series still in progress.

Mega Battle 7k pts

2011-05-19T21:02:00.000-07:00

Hey all,

This is just a quick vid of a mega battle in Petawawa. I did this more as a camera and lighting test. I hope to have more battle reports posted in the future :)

Dark Eldar Razorwing Update

2011-04-20T13:09:00.001-07:00

So just a quick update on the Razorwing. In game it's a great Heavy Support choice. In the video what I mean by fire magnet is that my raiders live longer to get my wych and incubi units in to the fray while the Razorwing takes hits. With it allowing for deep striking and firing all weapons when moving at faster speeds its a jewl in my list. I haven't tried deep striking but I like the option a lot.

Well with any Eldar or Dark Eldar list there really isn't one model or unit that does it all you really need to make sure the army works as one but all in all I'm loving the jet fighter. Maybe I'll make a bomber and try it out for fun. I could use an Eldar Wave Serpent for that but first I think I need to test out a few units of Scourges.

Dark Eldar Jet Fighter

2011-04-11T14:22:00.000-07:00

Here is a quick test of a Dark Eldar Jet Fighter, we'll see how it plays. The rockets I made are temp I hope to replace them with something better if the jet works out.

More Colour Testing

2011-03-15T10:07:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more colour tests for my Dark Eldar.

Dark Eldar Colour Test 2

2011-03-10T13:59:00.001-08:00

Here are a few WIP for my Dark Eldar

I'm trying to make them look like colourful pleasure cruise skiffs but now are worn with thousands of years of use and modifications. I'm not sure if it works yet but I am enjoying the colours so far. I've no idea what I'm going to do with the actual troops/pilots yet.

Night Wings of Anasinia!

2011-02-15T20:57:00.000-08:00

As I'm getting ready for Apocalypse game at the Game Summit this weekend. I started working on my night wings Here are some recent pics of the night wings painted in my Anasinian Eldar colours.

The Replacements

2010-09-08T13:35:00.000-07:00

In my original list of units to repaint were my swooping hawks but I didn't have as much luck as I thought I would with them. It could be my play style or just the fact I wasn't aggressive enough with them. So what I've done is in my 1500 point list was replacing the swooping hawks with fire dragons and placing them in the wave serpent for the striking scorpions.

I'm going to try the list out tonight so we'll see how it goes. Look for a battle report in the near future.

Eldar Vs Imperial Guard Penal Legion 1500 pts

2010-09-02T19:58:00.000-07:00

This is a quick battle report for a tournament a little while ago. It's the first time I've been able to take out all the enemy units. I think it was mostly because of oddly enough good roles on my part and just bad rolls for my opponent.

First try at Table Worthy Terrain

2010-08-26T11:33:00.000-07:00

Hey all, here is my first try at terrain with a common theme. Maybe now I won't cringe when taking pics haha. It's much better then random pieces of foam and plastic. I wanted to share them with all of you. It's made up of xmas decorations picked up for $1.99 in the off season section of department stores, barker tile samples, sand and extra paint I found when I bought my house. So this little project only cost me about $20 or so. I'm making this for a future table I want to make. I've been given some great ideas with adding some extra colours, static grass and flock. If any of you hvae some ideas on making this a little better pls let me know.

Fox On - Pegasus Hobbies Crater Set

2010-08-08T14:26:00.000-07:00

When I was in North Bay this weekend I picked up this Pegasus Hobbies Crater Set (5 craters) for only $24.00. I'm very happy with the quality and the fact that this set is cheaper then GW's and its painted.

1500 points of Eldar + 1 Month = Tournament Read Army

2010-08-02T18:58:00.001-07:00

Here is a video of the progress I did over a month of painting. Again I have been mentioning I was working a lot during this time bit it really impacted the amount of painting I was able to do. I didn't really mention this but I really should, it took me a good year to finally decide on this simple colour scheme :D

1 x Autarch

8 x Scorpions

8 x Spiders

20 x Guardians

5 x Hawks

3 x Wave Serpents

2 x Prism

1 x Night Spinner

1 x Display board

1500 points of Eldar (almost done)

2010-08-01T16:09:00.000-07:00

Hey all,

So here is what I took to the tournament in North Bay. I'm almost done painting everything. After all the painting I've been doing over the past few months and with how crazy works been I'm taking a nice long break from it. I hope to start again in a few weeks. I'll be starting with dire avengers and my fire dragons but I may want to get some more dragons, I only have 6. We'll see :)

I'll be posting a video with the results of the tournament.. Wow I did poorly but I had a blast. I lost 3 games and won 1, but I did something I've never done before, I tabled an IG player :D

Heavy Support

2010-07-21T16:52:00.001-07:00

Oh so my heavy support is as finished as best as I can with the time I have. The 24th tournament in North Bay is this weekend so I kinda went cheap-o with the paint job on the hull. I'll be doing the same with the 3 wave serpents. After the tournament I want to paint them all up like the turrets and add some free hand runes.

Tank Turret Update

2010-07-14T20:40:00.000-07:00

So here are my three heavy support choices, well their turrets, I have a few touch ups here and there and then I want to paint all the gems. I'm not 100% happy with the prism cannons yet so I'l be playing with them a little more. maybe try some blending. I dunno. Now on to the chassis.

Painting Update

2010-07-08T12:04:00.001-07:00

Just reviewing the various models I'm repainting. Only painting 1500 points at this time. Also updated my night wing, titan bases and made a much nicer display board.

Tank Turrets WIP

2010-07-07T20:03:00.000-07:00

So here are my tank turrets for my 1500 point list. Three wave serpent, two fire prism and one night spinner. I have a ways to go but I'm happy with it so far.

Display Board

2010-07-07T08:27:00.001-07:00

Ok so here is my new display board. Went to a Value Village and picked up a calendar frame (my wife's idea, she rocks). I used the foam from my previous display board cut it to fit and inserted it the frame. Tossed some glue, sand, paint and I was done.

Updated Night Wing Bases

2010-07-07T08:19:00.000-07:00

Here are my updated Night Wing bases. I've placed a nut at the top for the Night Wings' magnets. I picked up some plaques at the $1 store glued them to the existing bases I had. Added a little sand and paint. I'm happy with the result.

Warp Spiders!

2010-07-04T18:46:00.000-07:00

Warp Spiders are close to being completed. Just a few details and some touch ups and they are completed. Now on to the tanks. Three Wave Serpents, two Fire Prism, one Night Spinner. I hope I can get these completed by the 24th. Wish me luck!

Autarch WIP

2010-06-30T12:34:00.000-07:00

Here is a work in progress for my Autarch.

Striking Scorpions

2010-06-30T05:59:00.000-07:00

Ok so here is a repaint update. My striking scorpions are 99% done, I just need to do the eyes and a few details more on the exarch. I have two tournamnts this month, one on the 10th in Petawawa and one on the 24th in North Bay. I really hope I can get most of my stuff done for these tournaments. Next up.. You guessed it, Warp Spiders!

DIY - Basing With Sand

2010-06-25T15:52:00.000-07:00

Just a little video on how I go about basing my models.

I find some sand in the back yard, make sure its fine sand. Bake the sand at about 225'F to kill any nasties in it. I'll water down some glue and brush it on the base then dip the model's base into the sand. Shake off the excess and you're done. Paint it up add some green stuff vines if you like, have fun with it! remember to try this before you base coat your models makes life much easier.

20 Eldar Guardians

2010-06-24T19:42:00.000-07:00

So here are my first two squads repainted. Wow this it taking a little longer then I expected but I'm really happy with the result. Just have to finish the eyes.

Next will be my Autarch, Striking Scorpions and Warp Spiders. Then the tanks and a few other unit upgrades like Warlocks.

Game Summit 2010!

Game summit 2010 Apoc Battle 50k!

2010-06-22T11:56:00.000-07:00

Here is the Midnight Apocalypse battle @ the Game Summit I've run for the past 3 years. First year we had about 16 K, Second year we had about 30k This year we had 50,000!!!!!! The battle was to end the Locara campaign. Xenos won!

If it wasn't for the Dark Eldar stratagem we would have had a much harder time.

The New Colours of Anasinia

2010-06-22T07:06:00.001-07:00

So I've finally found a colour scheme I like. I'm priming black, painting shadow grey and dry brushing ice blue. For the gems I'm using scorpion green and a mix of scorpion green and space wolf grey. The face plates are space wolf grey and the bases are bestial brown with a dry brush mix of bestial brown and space wolf grey.

THUNDERHAWK DOWN

2010-02-02T07:07:00.000-08:00

I found this trolling around the web and found it rather interesting. It covers all armies and has some great rules involved in it. Big_Willie from DeepSpace calls it a mix of 40k and necromunda. I'm looking forward to play testing it.

Introduction
The Imperial hiveworld of Icarus Prime, once located in the Agrippinaa system, a mere handful of light years from the Eye of Terror, mysteriously disappeared in the year 850.M41. Ninety-nine years later, sporadic reports of a world matching its atmospheric signature appeared deep within the Eastern Fringe, near Tau space and directly in the path of HiveFleet Leviathan. Forces from all over the Eastern fringe are being dispatched to investigate the ruins of this once mighty hiveworld.

Welcome to Thunderhawk Down:
Generally speaking, the rules for Warhammer 40,000 are used for this game. While the final version will be more complete, for now assume that the normal 40k rules apply with the following additions. Hopefully you will enjoy playing this game as much as we did putting it together. At this early stage, we want constructive criticism on everything. We want additional ideas. We want ways to improve on what we have begun here.

Battle Report Format

2010-01-28T12:03:00.000-08:00

Here is just a little video asking you what you want to see in the battle reports and how you want them formatted. Do you like pics with a run down of what happened or do you prefer full motion videos? Do you like a long video or enjoy the short quick videos I've been posting? Let me know what you think.

The Call of Locara

2010-01-23T21:30:00.000-08:00

The Anasinia drifted quietly in the shadows of Ulthwe awaiting her Farseer to return from a meeting with the Craftworlds seer council. Krish’el stood emotionless as the order to leave the Craftworld was given. She understood the purpose and importance of her mission but detested the thought of leaving her quest unfinished. Turning the young Farseer left for her waveserpent feeling in her heart this was the right thing to do.

A short time later aboard the Anasinia, an Eldar eclipse cruiser, Krish’el met with her two closest generals. Sha'eil, he who strikes from the warp was the only Autarch aboard the cruiser and led the aspect warriors of the host. Anastari the cast out, once warlock of Saim Hann was rescued by the Anasinia’s Eldar when her bike unit was nearly wiped out. Now a Farseer she and the remainder of her unit joined their Uthwe kin to repay the debt. Realizing they may never return to Saim Hann for risk of being declared tainted, as many regard those from Ulthwe because of their proximity to the Eye of Terror.

Sha'eil was first to speak, “Are we free to continue our search?”

Krish’el shook her head, “No, we’ve been ordered to cease our efforts and move to an area of space the Mon-keigh call Locara.”

“Why, Locara?” Anastari asked as she looked to the table glancing over the webway map.

Sha'eil took Anastari’s hand and placed it over the map both felt their hands move as if drawn towards an area labeled in the tongue of the Mon-keigh, “Can you not feel the pull, as if something is calls us there?” Anastari looked shocked still new to her growing powers.

Sha'eil’s face grew grim, “The Mon-keigh are already there, as are many others. We need to answer this call and stop them from uncovering any of Locara’s secrets.” With little else said the three parted to prepare the crew for long journey.

This is my submission for the Locara Achievement 29. Mighter than the Sword.

Tyranids?

2010-01-22T22:59:00.000-08:00

I was out shopping and found some stuff that may have me making a Tyranid army.. :O The purple eggs could be made into mycetic spores and this big fellow could be pulled apart and made into a hierophant but I'm not sure yet. Maybe I'll just try and sell them to buy more Eldar stuff :D

Locara Battle Report: Eldar vs Ultra Marines 1500 points

2010-01-21T16:27:00.000-08:00

Hey all, here is a battle report for the Locara campaign, Eldar vs Marines. Lots of love for my guardians in this battle and in the second to come shortly. Enjoy

Eldar Vs Eldar Battle Report 1500 Points

2010-01-18T13:14:00.000-08:00

In this battle I faced off against Eldar, something that doesn't happen very often. I seem to be a lot stronger at playing objective battles rather then kill points. I guess its because I will gladly sacrifice a unit to move the enemy's army to where I want them to be and hope to catch them off balance. Now when it comes to kill points I play really cautious with my units and this is usually to a fault and find myself stuck in a corner getting chewed to bits. lol I guess we'll see what happens this coming tournament in North Bay on how well I do with this list and then at the tournament in Ottawa at the end of next month. Wish me luck, I'll need it haha.

Well this is exciting the location and date for the Game Summit 2010 has bee Announced. Looks like it will be at the Nepean Sportsplex on July 17-18, 2010. This is where it was last summer and wow was it a blast. So much room, so many people so much fun!! I can't wait!

Back!!

2009-12-17T05:25:00.000-08:00

Wow, ok so I'm back. I've recently moved and work has been really crazy. Not much of an excuse for being away for so long but its all I've got for now.

So what the plan for the next little while? Well here it is, I'll be posting a terrain video shortly with an old modeling kit i found. WE'll see if I can take it and turn it into something 40k. We also have a 6 person game happening on January 2nd So I'll be posting a video on that. Oh and I'll be taking pics and making a video on the second Locara tournament I'm going to in February.

Hopefully things have calmed down enough to start posting more often. So until then here is an I'm back video.

Here is my cheap solution for building/ruins bases. Using barker board samples seems a really good solution, they can be picked up at any building supply store. These boards can also be used as roads.

Eldar Nightwing Bases

2009-10-18T18:28:00.000-07:00

So I though it was about time to make a base for my Eldar Nightwing but GW wants $18.00 for the valkyrie bases. So I found some foam and some old star trek model bases rod things and went to work.

Darby's Bored/Eldar Tactics Live!!

2009-10-14T09:07:00.001-07:00

ok, so I was playing around with Ustream today and thought it would be fun to broadcast a game here and there. I was just thinking if people are bored and are near their computers they may be curious about watching a game of 40k, have a little discussion with the people playing. I'd want it to be as interactive as possible. So keep an eye out on here, the Game Summit message board or my Twitter.

Eldar vs Dark Eldar 1250 points

2009-10-13T20:16:00.001-07:00

So my wife and I had a battle tonight and wow it was tough. 1250 points each, it was pitch battle 3 objectives. I went with foot slogging to take a break from my normal mech list. The game ended with many many dead on both sides lol. It was a great all around game and guess who won? Oh I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to watch the video to find out.

Hey all, I picked up some Eldar musician's at the Game Summit this summer. I'm thinking about how to use them in game. I've had suggestions of running them as harlequin, I've thought about warlocks with my Bone Singer. Any thoughts?

Space Wolves

2009-09-23T18:10:00.001-07:00

I've been curious about this release and for a long time haven't considered making a Space Marine army, I've owned a few tactical squads but I've never really played them. With this new release I'm considering maybe picking up a few tactical squads and painting them up Space Wolf colours. I like the idea of an in your face infantry based Space Marine army. The one thing thats really keeping me from really seriously investing in the army is the over the top models. Ahh, maybe I should just go with Blood Angels, we'll see.

The Lost System Online Campaign is now Live!

2009-09-22T13:08:00.001-07:00

Like playing 40k? Do you record your battle reports? Check out this online campaign its really interesting. You create you can submit your plants, your battle reports and they effect the progression of the story thats being put forth.

Infomation website: http://thelostsystem.wordpress.com

How To Play the Lost System Campaign
Hey all! i made a list of questions that will, when answered help you get to grips with the system of this campaign.

Q: What will need to join in?
A: You will need…
1) A Youtube Account
2) A 40k Army from 400 pts +
3) A opponent
4) A method of making video uploads
5) Registered member of the thelostsystem youtube group

Q: How do i post a battle?
A: Simple! just follow these easy steps…
1) Play a game of 40k (any points size with any expansion)
2) Record aVideo Battle Report of your game
3) Upload your video to your youtube account
4) Go on thelostsystem group and post the url of video on the Planet “topic” you wish the game to take place in
5) Done!

Q: My opponent/ gaming group doesn’t like their games slowed down by battle reports – does that mean i cant be involved?
A: Of course not! If that is the case, make a written battle report and just read it out onto a video – or come up with a more creative and entertaining way – aslong as the report is a video upload.

Q: I dont have regular opponent/ gaming group to play games with, does that mean i can’t be involved?
A: Wrong again! I dont want to exclude anyone, people who cant psyhically play games can still make a difference in the war, via the “Support System”..
This system works by sending a private message via youtube or email to the player you wish to support and myself (adamishyrwude@hotmail.co.uk) – this must be done before the player you wish to support plays his next game. Once the game is played that player must annouce on his battle report which players are supporting him (by youtube username) – if he wins the victory is multiplied by the amount of players supporting the victor..
For example: Adam is playing against Ian, Adam is supported by John, Ian is supported by David and Henry. Ian wins so instead of his victory counting for 1, it counts for 3 – well done Ian, David and Henry!!!
The principle is that a supporting player has to be savy and think hard about whats player to support in what situation – so enough tactics to keep you guys happy! Also if you wish to read out a narrative report of how your army supported the player – Brilliant!!!
However if i dont get a message alerting me of the support or i do and the player being supported doesnt – than the support doesnt count, sorry!

Q: Is there a limit to how many of my armies can be involved?
A: No, you can use as many different armies as you want, but please send me the background (adamishyrwude@hotmail.co.uk) so it can be put on this site.

Q: Can i create planets for the lost system?
A: Hell yeah you can!! Please just write your description to the same format as the surveys on this site and send them to me with your name so you can be credited for your hard work (adamishyrwude@hotmail.co.uk)

Q: Will this campaign progress?
A: Most definatly, roughly once a month i will make a video, explaining a overview of the current state of the war aswell as battle awards for players when they play their first game of the month.
Battle awards will be awarded for good solid victories, innovative tactics (in or lose) and brave and honourable defeats – basically do something that makes me (or other admins) think “WOW!” or “Nice one!” than your on good stead for a battle award. These awards will be one use special rules (ie: free stragtagems) – and you have 1 month to use them (i will notify players who run out of time) – when you use them you must annouce their involvement in a game at the begining of the report.
Right i think that is everything covered, if you have anymore questions, just ask away!

Eldar 1700 Point List North Bay Oct Tournament 2009

2009-09-19T16:52:00.000-07:00

Testing my new camera, that I picked up today so expect to see a lot more video battle reports. So here is the list I am thinking about taking to the North Bay tournament.

1700 point list

Farseer (jetbike runes of warding, fortune)

12 jetbikes (2 cannons, warlock, embolden)

10 guardians (shuriken cannon, wave serpent w/ EML, shuriken cannon, spirit stone)

3 vyper (scatter lasers)

fire prism (holofield, spirit stone)

falcon (EML holofield, spirit stone)

6 fire dragons (exarch, fire pike)

Arkay1a's Talking About Eldar

2009-09-17T22:53:00.000-07:00

So here I was looking for a little info on how people use Wraith Guard to spice up the tactics for my Foot Slogging list when I came across Arkay1a. I was really impressed with his series Talking About Eldar.

This isn’t a small task so it’s inspiring to see someone jump in there and cover each unit with experience and detail as he has. Listening to other peoples opinions and uses for each unit is refreshing rather then reading over page upon page of forum banter and having to sift through so much nonsence. So when you have a moment please check out his channel and if you're as impressed as I was subscribe as well.

Foot Slogging Eldar 2

2009-09-17T18:46:00.000-07:00

ok so things have not gone well with my attempts to make a foot slogging Eldar list. I think one of the big things is that I'm missing either war walkers or wraith lord.

Wraith lord are tough to kill and have some nice long range weapons
War walkers are cheap have long range weapons can be in a squadron and can outflank.

With this said I considered doing this as my last shot at a foot slogging Eldar list

Avatar
5 Fire dragons
Farseer (runes of warding, spirit stone, doom, fortune)
10 wraith guard (spirit seer, conceal, unit counts as troops)
6 howling banshee (exarch, mirror swords, war shout)
10 Dire avengers (exarch, defend, shimmer shield, power weapon)
10 Dire avengers (exarch, defend, shimmer shield, power weapon)
10 Pathfinder
8 Warp Spider (exarch, withdraw, power blades, death spinner x2)

There were lots of recommendations to put guardians in and I can do that, mind you the recommendations for wraith lords or war walkers i can't yet. :)

Foot Slogging Eldar

2009-09-14T12:41:00.000-07:00

okay, so I've been going to tournaments with my mech Eldar but this time I want to try a list with everyone on foot. Here is my rough list so far.

Eldrad

10 Dire avengers (exarch, defend, shimmer shield, power weapon)

10 Pathfinder

10 wraith guard (spirit seer, conceal, unit counts as troops)

Autarch (scorpion chain sword, fusion gun, mandiblaster, warp spider jump pack)

8 Warp Spider (exarch, withdraw, power blades, death spinner x2)

5 Dark Reaper (exarch)

total 1695/1700

Here is the general idea, deploy the pathfinder close to the enemy deployment zone use them to kill troops or try and pop light tanks. Move the wraith guard with Eldrad fortuning them up to the enemy lines followed by the dire avengers. I want to try the warp spiders and autarch idea (of course the autarch staying alone after the assault movement). Dark reapers to help clean up any opened tanks.

What are your thoughts? How would you use these? Would you replace the dark reapers with striking scorpions? Should I use a normal farseer and not use Eldrad? Should I go for higher numbers on foot offering more kill points or stick with offering less kill points with higher cost units?

Sry the video was late, had some issues uploading =D

Eldar Warp Spider & Autach Tactic

2009-09-06T22:43:00.000-07:00

So my idea is that you get a group of 7+1 Warp Spiders and an autarch with a fusion gun and jump pack. This is a risky tactic to pull off. Deep strike the autarch behind a transport as well as the warp spiders and use the autarch to crack the tank and the spiders to clean up the disembarking troops. In the assault phase try and move the spiders and the autarch into coherency of each other so your hq cant be picked off easily. Rinse and repeat with the next transport or unit, followed up by assaulting them. I know there is some refinement needed but this it a thought I had. Let me know what you think :)

EDIT: Doh, ok looks like we can't have an independant character join back up with a unit during the assault phase as per page 48 of the rule book. The tactic will still work, you just can't have the two join up. Good catch Andrew & Elessar =D

YouTube Wargamer Community

2009-08-21T10:51:00.000-07:00

"This is the Wargaming Community on Youtube. Here you can find a great collection of wargaming stuff from painting tutorials, terrain building, modeling and everything else what is wargaming related."

The idea of the site is to bring/build the wargaming community together in one place on youtube. Alexandra Dénise (GirlPainting) the creator of the group has brought up some great reasons for doing this. Basically as it is the are people subscribed to this channel and that one yet not others, so they can be missing out on a lot of great material. This new group will hopefully bring out community closer together into a more cohesive group rather then spread all over the place like it is now.

So check it out and lets build this group together!

Dark Eldar Test Battle

2009-08-12T08:21:00.000-07:00

Hey all, I went over to Mitch's (Ottawa Gamer) to test out my Dark Eldar army out and see where I should build. We did a 1k point lists, Marines vs Dark Eldar, and the mission was capture and control and dawn of war was the deployment.

Deployment was one rhino and a squad of marines with my raider with warriors in it

The game progressed from there with the Dark Eldar advancing to meet the Marines on the right of the table. A few highlights from the battle were 2 raiders and the ravager were destroyed, the assault marines squished my Archon and his warrior squad. The warp beasts tore up a squad of assault marines and their chaplin with the help of the bikes. My wych squad was almost wiped out after jumping from their wrecked raider, the two remaining wych survived to hold up a 10 man marine squad for 2 turns alone ( thats like 4 assault phases damn). Here are some pics from the battle below. The game ended in my troops covering my objective were shot and ran off the board but my remaining raider zoomed up to contest Mitch's objective. What I learned from this battle is I want 2 more beasts, wyches and warriors. After lunch I totaly forgot to keep taking pics haha so the last two turns are missing :( Thanks for the great game Mitch!!

Eldar Falcon Paint Bubbling..

2009-08-07T16:23:00.000-07:00

So I was working on this falcon finally putting it back together and primed it. When I came back to see how it was drying the paint bubbled in different spots. Wanting to see what I could do with the situation I grabbed some white, purple and various colours of blue and went to work. This was the result. I'm kinda happy with it :)

40k @ North Bay Games and Hobbies

2009-08-02T17:10:00.000-07:00

I usually pop by North Bay often enough and when I can I like to bring my army along and see if I can get a few games in at the local store. I was lucky enough to get in touch with a few guys from the area to meet up on Satruday for a few games. We each had 1.5k lists and tried a 1v1v1 game that went well and ended in a draw. I thought I was smart starting in reserve because I was going third but this kept me out of the game for the first 2-3 turns, stupid bad rolls. The second game we tried a 2 on 1, Orks and Eldar vs Marines, sadly I had to leave early and we ended on turn 4 with a tie. Great games guys and thanks Terry for letting us pop by the store!

Eldar/Alien Colours?

2009-07-28T22:17:00.001-07:00

Blues

Trying to think of an alien colour scheme for your Eldar army and not sure where to go? There are so many resources that you can pull from. Cars, miniature websites, blogs, paintings, advertisements and even comforters.

I was sitting in my living room leafing through a catalog and the colours of some comfortors reallt stood out. Here are some interesting examples of colours that I may not have though of using.

Hey all, from time to time I take some pics and intend to do a report on my army but I end up stopping half way though. Way back I did a video of the entire army all in pics and damn that was a while ago and took longer then I wanted.

Well folks this time I just made a video and took a few pics but didn't go into as much detail as I did last time. Looks like my army is about 10K in points.
