This time I chose to bring my Worldeaters. Since the launch of Warhammer 40,000 10th edition I have only played with the Tyranids and Deathwatch, neither of which have performed all that well for me. Perhaps the Worldeaters will make for a better result and for a more interesting experience? We agreed to a 1250 point limit. With this being March for Macrage month, Cheef brought his Ultramarines. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Syl0r-ymB5aJVoN-RR3ASPR2WRgdRkAXHZNhli_k7jS_6MpuUR801iEn-_-3AXGJI5P1Y_KnS6pO7BquRT2jDooh1Bk9nw7yeVJQUsorqcQobDTcOJtYxz2xyLrbPUxy7VYOVLrJwsiJueEEA4dssHkE_ocqbBdEi_rzzQmsm0kOmskftXe5mp13uJRc/s1224/SmartSelect_20240311-103346_Gallery.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1224" data-original-width="1065" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Syl0r-ymB5aJVoN-RR3ASPR2WRgdRkAXHZNhli_k7jS_6MpuUR801iEn-_-3AXGJI5P1Y_KnS6pO7BquRT2jDooh1Bk9nw7yeVJQUsorqcQobDTcOJtYxz2xyLrbPUxy7VYOVLrJwsiJueEEA4dssHkE_ocqbBdEi_rzzQmsm0kOmskftXe5mp13uJRc/w348-h400/SmartSelect_20240311-103346_Gallery.jpg" width="348" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>I decided to finally bring out my Worldeaters, who I have neglected since the roll-out of 10th edition. Hopefully they'll be satisfied with today's bloodletting. They are led by the betrayer himself, Kharn. Also joining in the ruckus is my Juggerlord, a Chaos Lord mounted on daemonic Juggernaut of Khorne. For my Battleline troops I have two sqauds of Khorne Berserkers and a unit of Jahkals. My freshly painted <a href="https://nevernesshobby.blogspot.com/2024/02/worldeaters-terminators.html?m=0">Chaos Terminators </a>are joining this fray as well and hopefully they can avoid the notorious new model syndrome, the vile curse they spells doom for any player's most recently painting achievement. For the heavy hitters I have a Hellbrute with a multimelta and power claw with a heavy flamer and finally the Blooddumpster itself, my classic Chaos Landraider. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRBCn_nOq0ZibrlESGeq4GZ0EXdDEqQAqHul0rJlCH3mMr_7wz7BkuNQC0TkWrHzrPY7IoVg3k8YevwyvfDwF8FFxzoj19M3SZVJVMt2-Iblh4f9c2JtS8lK9yS1VvJxeDf7haGl_mbA-3jq6xtHR51aZLBIiqR9C7u5ypgD3sHiV5z0ven8ILPEi0HOR/s4032/20240309_183507.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRBCn_nOq0ZibrlESGeq4GZ0EXdDEqQAqHul0rJlCH3mMr_7wz7BkuNQC0TkWrHzrPY7IoVg3k8YevwyvfDwF8FFxzoj19M3SZVJVMt2-Iblh4f9c2JtS8lK9yS1VvJxeDf7haGl_mbA-3jq6xtHR51aZLBIiqR9C7u5ypgD3sHiV5z0ven8ILPEi0HOR/s320/20240309_183507.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Worldeaters.</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div>Da Masta Cheef brought the Ultramarines (or as he prefers to call them, the Smurfs).

He was joined by a Librarian, an Ancient and a Lieutenant with Combi-weapon whom we call Carver, on account of all his knives...* He is also the newest painted model in this army and could be at risk for New Model Syndrome as well. An Assault Intercessor squad and two Intercessor Squads make up the Ultramarines battleline. The other infantry units are thr Eradicator Squad (going in Reserve at the the start if the battle), a Hellblaster Squad (being joined by the Librarian), an Infernus Squad and a Sternguard Veteran Squad.

It was fun to let Kharn rip, as opposed to have him get sniped from afar. The Hellbrute did well, that Fire Frenzy rule proved to be quite helpful.

This one is March for Macrage. This is something the hobbyists on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/ultramarines.strategies.tactics.armies/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT">Ulramarines, Strategies & Tactics</a> Facebook Group do every year. Essentially members commit to completing an Ultramarines specific project by the end of the month of March. I decided to commit to finishing another squad of Assault Intercessors, and Chapter Ancient along with a Primaris Lieutenant and <a href="https://nevernesshobby.blogspot.com/2023/10/lieutenant-titus-part-1.html?m=0">Lieutenant Titus</a>. The last two are kind of close to being done. I have to admit, this event snuck up on me. Coincidentally I had <a href="https://nevernesshobby.blogspot.com/2024/01/rest-recovery-models.html?m=0">prepared</a> to paint Tyranids and Ultramarines during this time anyway as I was expecting to have a surgery (which hasn't happened yet). So that's kind of going to work out. </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtk67DHOGK1_8tBqf3Joji3qUY-lknMoyeNtIVf18VYsF9HnqBuj0iAjoigelengXc3TK9Qzr2tyxzy2BPem8grHoceBeP2awfAgU7NVq3SOCBDOiDQy1MiKBs2OK54z7FR4tGbNSCcmuEpVWEsZhE7N5_aB1VOZU3tvqNTdfma9FYYBXIOIjE09HnRhJ6/s949/SmartSelect_20240229-182018_Gallery.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="503" data-original-width="949" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtk67DHOGK1_8tBqf3Joji3qUY-lknMoyeNtIVf18VYsF9HnqBuj0iAjoigelengXc3TK9Qzr2tyxzy2BPem8grHoceBeP2awfAgU7NVq3SOCBDOiDQy1MiKBs2OK54z7FR4tGbNSCcmuEpVWEsZhE7N5_aB1VOZU3tvqNTdfma9FYYBXIOIjE09HnRhJ6/s320/SmartSelect_20240229-182018_Gallery.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Assault Intercessors Spuad 2.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p>This will be another 5-man unit of Assault Intercessors.

Therefore he was given a MK VI helmet from the Vanguard Marines set. <div><br /></div><div>And finally <a href="https://nevernesshobby.blogspot.com/2024/01/lieutenant-titus-part-2.html?m=0">Titus</a> and the Primaris Lieutenant will both receive individual posts during March For Macrage. By the way, in case you haven't figured it out, the shield in the first pic belongs to the Primaris Lieutenant More on him in a future post. March is a big month, let's see what we can do! <br /><p><br /></p></div>nevernesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07722163860443469429noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579848619475400584.post-27151689510221374312024-02-27T09:06:00.001-05:002024-02-27T09:31:17.448-05:00Smash'n yer Gob! <p> Behold, the Epicast Gobsmasha! I bought my first Gobsmasha directly from Epicast way back in the mid '90s . They were a mom and pop operation and it was fun to support them, and in return, get some funky new toys to bring to a 2nd edition era 40k game. I bought the Vindicator add-on kit for the Space Marines and the Ork Gobsmasha. The original model was a heavy, solid, brick of yellow resin. A friend of mine thought it was both crap and cool and convinced me to let him toy with it. He hollowed it out, molded it, and recast it in a better resin and gave me three copies back.

Referencing a GW painting tutorial after I had went and bought paints I found that somehow I still bought the wrong one. I was supposed to get <i>Baharroth Blue</i> but instead bought <i>Hoeth Blue</i>. The names were just too elfy I guess. I also picked up two Contrast Paints that I thought might work also: <i>Pylar Glacier</i> and <i>Briar Queen Chill</i>. Both of these look like they would look amazing on this model the <i>Pylar Glacier</i> being the one closest to <i>Baharroth Blue</i>. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitVbTnbZQJqfj7v9GOWE7hZGF85ddbcTq5jct116B1ELetjuUDeZchyUQugUnI0NimW-yTc6IJ5y5aN9iwxVQO46LwGMFhYbCCagc5ykdsP2UxKPCUW1WVtEPdGrX6o7Eg3lAmjVt2F8GO3vtFKN3KPChv356SovcTBAejzMXbYwXN0c1PN0DWGfteNmdk/s4032/20231225_143700.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitVbTnbZQJqfj7v9GOWE7hZGF85ddbcTq5jct116B1ELetjuUDeZchyUQugUnI0NimW-yTc6IJ5y5aN9iwxVQO46LwGMFhYbCCagc5ykdsP2UxKPCUW1WVtEPdGrX6o7Eg3lAmjVt2F8GO3vtFKN3KPChv356SovcTBAejzMXbYwXN0c1PN0DWGfteNmdk/s320/20231225_143700.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Choices. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>I went for the <i>Pylar Glacier</i>.

My family will be moving to a new location in the Spring (if all goes well) and I hope to be able to start working on terrain for my home table as well as the big homesteading project: orks! With the old world returning I'm excited about the prospect of finishing my Orcs and Goblins army and who knows what else that could lead to... Empire and Bretonians maybe? I am excited for the new year ahead, even if only a fraction of these projects get done I am still hoping for some good fun to be had!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>nevernesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07722163860443469429noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579848619475400584.post-41475698797949309182023-12-25T06:59:00.000-05:002023-12-25T06:59:50.344-05:00Leviathan Terminator Librarian (Part 2)<p> Here is more work-in-progress on this chap continuing on from the <a href="https://nevernesshobby.blogspot.com/2023/12/leviathan-terminator-librarian-part-1.html?m=0">last post</a>.

During my movement phase I had the DW Vets jump out of the Razorback and take an Objective. The Razorback move up and took some shots at the Black Dragons Dreadnought. Now, my first mistake was forgetting Oath of .Moment. (Oops) which might have made a difference. My dice were so cold that I have doubts that OOM would've made a huge difference, but it's worth noting anyway. The Razorback fired it's twin-linked Las Cannons and rolled a 1. Ok, so it fired the storm bolter and rolled double-twos. Rolled a two for the Hunter Killer Missile, which actually hits, and rolled another 2 foe the Toughness test. I was laughing at how spectacularly these rolls were...surely this was just a fluke? The DW Vet Bikers fired into the Hellblasters but only killed a single guy. So, at the end of my turn, after the smoke cleared, I only had a single casualty to my credit. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgajrgMr2Ia_v3ufEzZpFVC3whhJO2lV96IOv7k2qjfPKV0JJkmCzK48ThTyXnYk5CtoyJH-JUwrD06ADl5cvjTRsbXadtALwjDy3dQ_zPMwyHy9u6QmTPIGsyqiBt9YKovcSSSAw6mK4DxQ_RQtZGuEHPK7cnWmqX89ok4_SK_braKxhdZ6K-0Qb4d3Boo/s4032/received_2017484838614233.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgajrgMr2Ia_v3ufEzZpFVC3whhJO2lV96IOv7k2qjfPKV0JJkmCzK48ThTyXnYk5CtoyJH-JUwrD06ADl5cvjTRsbXadtALwjDy3dQ_zPMwyHy9u6QmTPIGsyqiBt9YKovcSSSAw6mK4DxQ_RQtZGuEHPK7cnWmqX89ok4_SK_braKxhdZ6K-0Qb4d3Boo/s320/received_2017484838614233.jpeg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The dice say no.</td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /></p><p>Black Dragons Turn one. </p><p>The Apothecary revives the one guy I had killed.

Again, my dice were cold, and Cheef's were hot. Particularly when he had to make saves. With a week to think about this game as I pecked and poked at writing this report, I clearly made some Tactical blunders. A lot of which I feel come from the learning pains of this edition change, but some were just errors on part. I think I should have realized the amount of firepower was going to overwhelm my ability to make saves. Even with bad dice rolling, the math wasn't going to be on my side, and slapping my Terminators down with a "bring it" attitude in front of a force that can absolutely bring it, well, you end up with dead Marines. <div><br /></div><div>Forgetting to take advantage of my teleport homers was also a big blunder on my part, but I am not sure how well the outcome would have changed. </div><div><br /></div><div>I think really, my biggest blunder was not keeping my force close and tight focused, instead of spread out and thin. I was using a force that didn't have a lot of long ranged firepower, and I needed to get them closer to maximize their effectiveness.
