Battle of Isstvan III

Just had to share this fantastic hobby madness. No words.

Invasion done - So now what!?

Invasion 6 ed tested and done!

In a few, but very constructive hobby nights, Ørnulv and I, really upgraded my Crafworld Eldar.
So now I have about 2000 pts nice and shiny Eldar`s ready for battle, and another 2000?? waiting for the MLU as well.
But what about some new projects? After seeing how my Nightwing preformed above and beyond at Invasion, maybe there is room for one more? But I already have another flyer. Fresh from the Forge,
an Eldar Phoenix. (Pics will be posted) The whole thing came in one big lump of resin. Just some minor details to be glued. Looking forward to completing it.

Another unit that hasn`t really been in my army roster for a while, and not even considered for tournaments in about 10 years, is my Swooping Hawks. But after their latest FAQ, this birdies will hit any vehicle (not flyers and walkers)  automaticly in close combat. Armed with haywire grenades, a unit of 5 can take out a Land raider with ease... As a fellow "general" once said: "Can that thing take out my Land Raider"

Also with the new pricing regime from GW, I think I will start working on already bought units, and complet them, before investing big. That said, when in Nothingham - buy models!

So I hope to keep you all updated on my small and larger projects through the fall, and the Craftworld stands ready to face any threat... I hope.

Cheers!

Invasion 2012 - Pictures

I've just downloaded the pictures off the camera, and done a quick sweep to delete the ones that didn't turn out well enough for general consumption. Without further ado, then: Here's a glimpse of the 40k tournament from where I was standing:

The tables

A few deployment and in-game pictures

I didn't have the presence of mind to take any pictures at all on day two, I'm afraid, so I'll have to round this off with...

...the nominees for Best Painted

 

Invasion 2012 - Day two

Just a quick update now, as we're already in the car and on our way home.

Trond and I booth got 11,5 points in round four. Trond managed to hold an Ork horde army at bay, and I didn't quite manage to overrun a CSM army with Daemons allies. Ørnulv lost by one point against a Tyranid army.

In the final round, Trond and I had to face off. He got to hide away three objectives while I hid two behind my Aegis line. I knew I had to push hard, so I did. In the end, Trond managed to clear my spearhead away while I cleared a unit of Pathfinders off the one he hid on the other flank. After five turns I won by two points thanks to the tertiary mission, and we ended the tournament with the same number of points.

Ørnulv met Grey Knights, took all five objectives as well as both secondary and tertiary mission for a massive 20 points finish. It was enough for second place overall.

...and to sugar coat it, he also won Best Painted. Congratulations!!!
