<br />
I Firelupus,<br />
For the next two years I shall only, collect, model, paint and play with models that have the mark of Tzeentch.<br />

Thus was this rash pledge made. But I am a man of my word, so as it is said, so shall it be.<br />

Hello All,<br />
Well the lead up to Cancon 2019, specifically the 40K ITC championships starts today.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheoErJbDmFle2qQO_jzqJsr3Lf5oiwh_5acxJtz3RRVhgrU1OJJ348VFFTm0PSU4rrgj_pwTjCsZVg-ExGa58atngtNgyz-ZibRlJpaImms_9X_wZPVZdXMDXaRMVdeuoPFPFhk6hZ6PsD/s1600/Screen+Shot+10-17-18+at+06.37+AM.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="264" data-original-width="1166" height="72" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheoErJbDmFle2qQO_jzqJsr3Lf5oiwh_5acxJtz3RRVhgrU1OJJ348VFFTm0PSU4rrgj_pwTjCsZVg-ExGa58atngtNgyz-ZibRlJpaImms_9X_wZPVZdXMDXaRMVdeuoPFPFhk6hZ6PsD/s320/Screen+Shot+10-17-18+at+06.37+AM.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I have purchased my ticket, so the first hurdle is completed. If you are interested in going, the link is <a href="https://cgs.asn.au/cancon/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
So, the next question is, what am I going to play?<br />
<br />
I would like to have an answer , but honestly I don't, well not a complete one.<br />
<br />
Sounds cryptic doesn't it. Well the truth is I know I will be playing Aeldari. I just as yet, don't know which faction.<br />
<br />
I have Craftworld Eldar- these are dear to my heart.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I have Dark Eldar- the sheer speed of this glass cannon I really enjoy.<br />

<br />
I have the start of a Harlequin force- who does not like clowns, I still remember my Harlequin v Terminator debate with Ras in our year 10 maths classes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have six more weeks until I am on holidays, then the army design will begin in earnest. Hopefully Chapter approved will have dropped by then and I can spend a few weeks making list tweaks.<br />
<br />
Anyways that is my State of the hobby.<br />
<br />

I have been slowly stripping them for the better part of a month, without any real progress due to a lack of interest and available time.<br />
But that is all going to change!<br />
Cancon is but seven months away and this year I am hoping to place in the top ten, which will beat this years result of 15th place overall.<br />

<br />
I intend to have a well presented army, including display board and custom objective markers.<br />
To this end I have decided to set the following targets.<br />
<br />
<b>July</b><br />
Strip, clean and convert the army.<br />
<br />
<b>August</b><br />
Paint Vehicles<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>September</b><br />
Paint Infantry<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>October</b><br />
Paint Characters<br />
<br />
<b>November</b><br />
Base army and make objective markers<br />
<br />
<b>December</b><br />
Make display board.<br />
<br />
<b>January</b><br />
Fine tune my list and pain any addition units I may need due to FAQ's or meta changes.<br />
<br />
So that is the plan as it stands.<br />
<br />
I have no doubt that this order will change, as it always does. But now I have a plan and a goal.<br />
<br />
Cheers Lupus.<br />

Another year, another army that I will try to complete. I say try, because I seem to be a hobby butterfly, I land here, I land there, I never seem to finish an army properly, well this one I intend to be different.<br />
To this end, here are the models that will form the foundation of my army, belonging to the Black Hearts Kabal.<br />

As these are all third edition models except for the Razorwings, I found it hard to see what weapons were what. This is not that important in casual play, but in some tournament events it is prefered that models are <b>WYSIWYG</b>, this avoids any confusion. For those readers that have not heard this term before, <b>WYSIWYG</b> sands for <b>W</b>hat <b>Y</b>ou <b>S</b>ee <b>I</b>s <b>W</b>hat <b>Y</b>ou <b>G</b>et. To this end, I needed to decipher the weapons of these models, the below picture has helped a lot.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

A big thanks to Marcus who found this for me, at least now I have the ability to start getting my army prepared for Cancon 2019. That is right, you read correctly. I am going back again, which I shall discuss in a later post dealing with this in particular.<br />
<br />
But here at least I have decided on the Drukari or Dark Eldar for us old farts.<br />
<br />
Anyway that enough for this morning.<br />
Cheers<br />

<br />
As usual these are stock photos from the net, and I do not pretend that my models are painted to these standards.<br />
<br />
The majority of my models as you can see from the pictures, are all 3rd edition models.<br />
<br />
Thoughts<br />
My plan is to update these slightly I will update slightly with head swaps and minor conversions, so they keep their old look, whilst also looking as nice as I can make them.<br />
<br />
The issue will be adding newer units to the army. I will have to be selective as I do not wish for my army to look too disparate. I have some idea's about this, but I will have to wait and see.<br />
<br />
As it stands i currently have my Archon and 10 Warriors taking a dip into simple green.<br />

With all the rumours and teasers that are about concerning the update to the Dark Eldar. I will be the proud owner of the new Codex and may find inspiration enough to start using the Dark Eldar I have in the garage.<br />
<br />
To be honest I have never really been into this faction and the Army I have was an Impulse purchase, so I will be interested to see what GW have done with them in the new book.<br />
<br />
<br />
Drukari be damned, I am old enough to remember when this army was first released.<br />

Yesterday I attended a tournament at my LGS that was a one day event of three games of 1666 pts that was limited to one special detachment, and we played maelstrom missions.<br />
This special detachment was this.<br />
<br />
Melton Meltdown Detachment<br />
<br />
Compulsory:<br />
1 HQ.<br />
3 Troops.<br />
1 Elites.<br />
1 Fast Attack or 1 Heavy Support.<br />
<br />
Optional:<br />
1 HQ.<br />
2 Troops.<br />
3 Elites.<br />
2 Fast Attack.<br />
2 Heavy Support.<br />
1 Fortification.<br />
1 Flyers.<br />
Dedicated transports as normal.<br />
<br />
Restrictions:<br />
All units must be from the same Faction.<br />
Command Benefits: +1 Command Point.<br />
<br />
After playing nothing but 2000 points and with these restrictions, I found it hard but challenging to get my head around what to take.<br />
<br />
In the end I tried this army out.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">IL-Kaithe the only true Craftworld worth taking.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Craftworld Tactic Alaitoc<br />
Farseer- guide, doom<br />
<br />
6x warlock conclave- quicken / restrain, protect / jinx <br />
<br />
3 x 5 rangers<br />
<br />
20 guardian defenders with 2 shuriken cannon teams<br />
<br />
5 x wraithguard with wraith cannon<br />
<br />
2 x 6 reapers with exarch having a tempest launcher<br />
<br />
2 x wave serpents with shuriken cannons, spirit stones and vectored engines<br />
<br />
1 falcon with bright lance, shuriken cannon and pulse laser.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my thoughts on why I used these units. First I wanted to add some -3 to -4 rend firepower to my list, my reapers are awesome, but sometimes their -2 rend is not enough to punch through the enemy armour.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm5gSGCNXPbklg7OZMt23o2XLZv_YWz9X4z8ZQJybrHqp6YqfsqR06hAQbpZHyaBqfmPRWaGCwbD3D3Kp-achiPqUvoigiA1YZT5rwkAz5AtbT1vj1FBJoIHx4ZhFgav8iCdNB-TOc3zQs/s1600/Falcon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="390" data-original-width="540" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm5gSGCNXPbklg7OZMt23o2XLZv_YWz9X4z8ZQJybrHqp6YqfsqR06hAQbpZHyaBqfmPRWaGCwbD3D3Kp-achiPqUvoigiA1YZT5rwkAz5AtbT1vj1FBJoIHx4ZhFgav8iCdNB-TOc3zQs/s320/Falcon.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So with this in mind, I added a falcon to my list to try out the pulsar and a bright lance. I further added a unit of wraithguard with wraith cannon again to add some punch to my army.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KOYAftbElCXAk_-mTc0A0i95bYWP9E4wmpeRRe-ECTjnPVMV1qYxQA6vCjvz45fG0LRjbL5TviugGySjyHNW39A7TTYAjZ7yKfvKwD-_zbv1-JZFxWaoOgQic4lnXXeyxBY_4YRXQH3g/s1600/s-l300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="269" data-original-width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KOYAftbElCXAk_-mTc0A0i95bYWP9E4wmpeRRe-ECTjnPVMV1qYxQA6vCjvz45fG0LRjbL5TviugGySjyHNW39A7TTYAjZ7yKfvKwD-_zbv1-JZFxWaoOgQic4lnXXeyxBY_4YRXQH3g/s1600/s-l300.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I further felt I needed two rune of battle powers for my army, so I added in the warlock conclave, and expecting them to take some fire I made them 6 strong.<br />

In attendance on the day was the following armies. My Eldar and one of each of the following Deamons, Ad Mech, Dark Angels, Custodes, Death Watch, Iron Hands, Tau, Black Templar and one withdraw for reasons.(would have been an Imperial guard amy)<br />
<br />
With these thoughts on army design and against this diverse lot of armieshow did the list perform?<br />
<br />
Round One.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9cI5J39URRTWvlfnykYieMNuyaoC16Kps6enmKtMwJg0rCO5F0p6YXkVViQCQ7kqm5nqTyG3IHsoXI_RwIVdkwtHjmICZCP6cmcIq91NmXo8DfPpT9Y_iV58tVXtyFPQ-EJ-5-NJfl5a/s1600/Clint+Eastwood+Astra+Militarum+Meme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9cI5J39URRTWvlfnykYieMNuyaoC16Kps6enmKtMwJg0rCO5F0p6YXkVViQCQ7kqm5nqTyG3IHsoXI_RwIVdkwtHjmICZCP6cmcIq91NmXo8DfPpT9Y_iV58tVXtyFPQ-EJ-5-NJfl5a/s1600/Clint+Eastwood+Astra+Militarum+Meme.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I had a bye round one due to Imperial Guard player needing to withdraw. This happens at any tournament when the real life concerns of players need to take precedent. This gave me plenty of time to watch games and look at items I wanted to purchase in the future.<br />
<br />
Round Two.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsKY-19nFQiorEpd2NrH0mYoyLmbnqMwSzM7C_klmxI5eZxZr7ngqb7ggLk6dDrzkn7famwquEQbNL2uxU7TMsHpMY3uvYQUo7V8D0bsyemDZkXbWxFufinG0UPUG8ScUHEouDRNxbCZp/s1600/99060101324_AzraelNEW_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="920" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsKY-19nFQiorEpd2NrH0mYoyLmbnqMwSzM7C_klmxI5eZxZr7ngqb7ggLk6dDrzkn7famwquEQbNL2uxU7TMsHpMY3uvYQUo7V8D0bsyemDZkXbWxFufinG0UPUG8ScUHEouDRNxbCZp/s320/99060101324_AzraelNEW_01.jpg" width="309" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
My opponent failed to roll first turn and then seized against me. Sigh my going second continues.<br />
I played against a Dark Angels Azrael plasma castle list. It is not often that I am outgunned but this time I was, Azrael's 4++ bubble was enough to blunt my firepower.. I lost this game 15 to 13 vp. The game ended with only the Farseer and one reaper being left alive.<br />
<br />
Round Three<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtL1FSCAph5xxoSF_Jo4LlF1FfbTLNWEyP9ZhO0JqG7oCnrFHsQYi1b-QvHApD6NZf9AOcLE1mMhrNWzbKAd06GVjwxvnBmgyUvgargBowYafdJL4TwSZHyz_bfSPp-QBLXln4Zgr0P6un/s1600/ironhands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="272" data-original-width="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtL1FSCAph5xxoSF_Jo4LlF1FfbTLNWEyP9ZhO0JqG7oCnrFHsQYi1b-QvHApD6NZf9AOcLE1mMhrNWzbKAd06GVjwxvnBmgyUvgargBowYafdJL4TwSZHyz_bfSPp-QBLXln4Zgr0P6un/s1600/ironhands.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Going into the final round and I played the Iron hands all comers list.<br />
Again I went second after failing to seize. This was a fairly close game until turn three when I did some damage with my wraithguard that he could not come back from.<br />
<br />
<br />
List reflection.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB1s8u9DP5V3QWxaSrprkJFt6CVoLCd_83qvrzZ65TK4paRLdHyUwRm5MXe2WPWc8vXdvSiYyybk2V-ETbIJMWZIbM55I7HxwAtsvd3nTiRYCJFtBPdR7O5_fbFUDq-Cdxrztz00bJuyy5/s1600/We-do-not-learn-from.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="313" data-original-width="650" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB1s8u9DP5V3QWxaSrprkJFt6CVoLCd_83qvrzZ65TK4paRLdHyUwRm5MXe2WPWc8vXdvSiYyybk2V-ETbIJMWZIbM55I7HxwAtsvd3nTiRYCJFtBPdR7O5_fbFUDq-Cdxrztz00bJuyy5/s320/We-do-not-learn-from.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So how did my list go?<br />
<br />
Well I was right to include the bright lance, I was wrong to include the falcon perhaps, I may revisit it at a later date, but for now i found it O.k. The warlock conclave was a big points sink 180 points for two powers. I would have been better to run just a spirit seer and spend the 135 points on more firepower for the list.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr4GFB0_CHkUKpfFS6bcixvWmYHEoAUWRy_Tevt1axox99Qnf95Vd4LVcFFHYksJAIw8tkESKLNpVSc46QTqZmIRbISpXNQTZMDIklGES6KkS2arjPAoEIC7slu5YhvuZk4lr-WSFp76U6/s1600/Warhammer-Peace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="750" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr4GFB0_CHkUKpfFS6bcixvWmYHEoAUWRy_Tevt1axox99Qnf95Vd4LVcFFHYksJAIw8tkESKLNpVSc46QTqZmIRbISpXNQTZMDIklGES6KkS2arjPAoEIC7slu5YhvuZk4lr-WSFp76U6/s320/Warhammer-Peace.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Likewise the falcon was lacking offensive power for its points. The bright lance was great as was the pulse laser, but there is bound to be better ways to include them. At this stage I am not sure what though.<br />
<br />
With these two singular thoughts I have found my list to include 350 points of fat. I will look in the future to streamlining this.<br />
<br />
I already have idea's on where to take this list and I will wait for the next LGS 1666 point event to try them out.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned.<br />
<br />

Do not get me wrong, placing 15th is a great result and I am very very happy with it. But each and every games was a close fought slugging match. I had to use every ounce of my skill as a general to get the wins, and in one case the dice decided the win, not my skill.<br />
<br />
So I am going to discuss my list design and thoughts and reasons why I decided to take what I did.<br />
<br />
Here is my list again for reference.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Okay so first, the craftworld book has a lot a great stratagems that enhance the Eldar army on the battlefield, to make the best use of these, I first built my army for command points.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Decision 1. Maximise command Points.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I decided that to play how I wanted to play I needed between 12-13 cp. So a Brigade detachment for required.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This locked me into having 3 hq, 6 troops, 3 elites, 3 fast attack and 3 heavy support choices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I also wanted to have the majority of the runes of battle powers available so that meant I needed a supreme command detachment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">So now I needed to have 6</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> hq, 6 troops, 3 elites, 3 fast attack and 3 heavy support choices to make my army legal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">So all this would give me 13cp to play with during deployment and the battle rounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">So far so good.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">I decided to fill my troop requirements with three units of rangers for deep strike push back and character sniping ability.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Dire Avengers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The Dire Avengers were to form my main battle line with the main unit of 10 acting as the anchor for my line. the two smaller units of five were to be harassers and objective grabbers.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I filled these slots with three units of 5 striking scorpions all equipped the same, these units with their built in deep strike allowed me to make my opponent think about their deployment and deep strike protection. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Two units of swooping hawks were my dedicated anti horde option, with each squad putting out 20 shots, they would bring a volume of fire to my list that was needed. The also deployed on the table in my games, to allow for turn 2+ bouncing around shenanigans.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">2 units of 10 dark reapers, these guys were the ranged power to my list and did the majority of the heavy lifting each game.</span></span></div>

With a banshee mask, powersword and shuriken pistol, I found him to be under gunned. The shimmer plumed helped this somewhat.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">These three were included to give my army another three runes of battle powers, and for ten points more than a warlock. They survive for longer and have a proper smite if I needed it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
So that were my thoughts going into Cancon.<br />
<br />
My after Cancon thoughts on my army was that I gave myself tunnel vision chasing those 13CP.<br />
<br />
In virtually every game, I was looking to my army for a third threat to inflict damage on my opponents.<br />
Whilst I did set out to achieve my goal of winning six games, they were all apart for one game hard fought, but in all of them, I felt my army needed more teeth.<br />
This is something that I will need to develop further.<br />
<br />
So what would I change.<br />
<br />
I could have reduced my reapers and large dire avenger squad to 9 man size, so as to deny my opponents the choice of the reaper secondary mission.<br />
<br />
Speaking of my large unit of dire avengers, they cost 140pts. For the same cost I could have used 17 Guardian defenders and used the 1cp strat to give them 4++ save. Again, I blame tunnel vision for this.<br />
<br />
Making these changes would have made reaper only worth 1 point instead of three.<br />
<br />
Going first in a few games would have helped, but the dice decide.<br />
<br />
I would equip my Autarch with a fusion gun or reaper launcher to make use of his 2+ to hit. This was where keeping him cheap and cheerful was not the right call.<br />
<br />
Adding the needed bite to my list. This honestly is something, I have as yet not worked out how I want to approach it.<br />
<br />
My Scorpions and Hawks had an effect each game, the most notable was in game two when a unit of five chewed their way through a eight strong warlock conclave.<br />
<br />
My war walker provided some support in most games, but a single walker had minimal effect on the game, will have to rethink this, as it is a good harasser, but its output in most games was minimal.<br />
<br />
I will try out different options for the future.<br />
<br />
Anyway that is my thoughts<br />
Cheers Lupus.<br />

My son is now old enough to allow for my attendance at this great three day event, as such on the Thursday before Australia day my mates and I travelled up to Canberra from Victoria. Some of us used cars others aeroplanes but we all arrived safe and sound.<br />
<br />
This year I competed in the 40K ITC Championships with some mates from my local gaming group, The Death Touch Dojo. This was the first time that the team year made the trip. It was comprised of Leigh, Matthew, Tim and I, with a few others unable to attend due to family commitments. (Maybe next year we will have a stronger presence)<br />

We started our adventure that is the three day, eight game 40K ITC Championships.<br />
<br />
<i>*Disclaimer*- All my battles were so hard fought that I neglected to get any photos after game 1. As such I will be using stock images, for the most part.</i><br />
<br />
Over the course of the weekend there were highs, lows and of course a lot of laughs, great games and good conversation.<br />
<br />
The list I set off with to vanquish my opponents with is the Valiant warhost of Bahaleth from Craftworld IL-Kaithe.<br />

I lost the roll for initiative and was given second.<br />
This was a tough first game, but what a way to start.<br />
Eleanor was a canny general and knew her army well. She had played ITC in America and really knows the system in depth, I hope to play against her next year.<br />
Eleanor used her Celestine to maximum advantage and I only managed to kill the Gemina.<br />
These are the only pictures that I took of any of my games.<br />

I lost the roll for initiative and was given second.<br />
Mitchel also was running a brigade of Eldar and we both had a lot of the same units and tricks in our army.<br />
<br />
Mitchel was just returning to 40K since early 6th ed so he was getting used to the new rules etc. We had a fun game.<br />

<br />
During practise for the event, I knew that my list struggled with anymore than two knights, I had a practise game versus four knights and got trounced.<br />
So going into this game against Magnus and three chaos knights I knew that I was behind the eight ball.<br />
I lost the roll for initiative and was given second. I started strong and killed a knight first turn and Magnus by turn three, but by then that damage was done.<br />
<br />
My army had no teeth left to it.<br />
I lost this game 31/18.<br />
<br />
It is worth mentioning that Rick was an awesome player and he had some laughs. The game ended with his two remaining knights sitting on objectives and my last unit which were scorpions hiding in a ruins basement.<br />
<br />
So at the end of Day One I had won two games and lost my third. I was ranked 57th out of 128.<br />

Again I went second, which seemed to be the theme for the weekend with all my games I went second.<br />
This again was a very close game and Josh was a challenging opponent. I cannot remember exactly what was sin his army except it was very similar to my first game. Celestine, Exorcists and lots of infantry.<br />

I won this game 15/14.<br />

<br />
This game was a close battle, My reapers started working on killing his tanks and dread, whilst my infantry keept working on his marines. Eventually I destroyed his armour, Jonny was a tenacious opponent and really made me work for the win.<br />

<br />
So final game of Day two and I was paired with a lad called Jack.<br />
He was running the Yncarne with a lot of Harlequin support. As he was running an assault army, I castled up in a corner and had him run to me , his army was very very quick, it was a bloodbath on both sides, but I managed to Table him.<br />
<br />
I won 29 /19.<br />
<br />
At the end of day two with 5 wins and 1 loss I was ranked 11th and feeling good.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Day Three</b></div>
<br />
Day three started with my army being paired against Josh and his Tau army.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Game Seven Josh and Tau</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Josh is a seasoned general and knew exactly how to use his army. This was an enjoyable game, and Josh showed his mettle when at one point I asked for some time to think, like a gent he gave me a moment and went and had a smoke, so I could plan out how to deal with his suits and shield drones. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I managed to reduce his drones from 38 to 15 by games end, I would love to play Josh and this list again, as it was very challenging and he was a gent to play against.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The final score was I lost this game <span style="text-align: center;">33/8.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">So the final game of Day three and of Cancon, saw my army matched against a no infantry Deathguard army of Will.</span></div>

So with this final game started, Will and I had an out and out slugging match with his army and mine.<br />
<br />
Highlights of this game was Morty in my lines in turn 1, and killing some units, by troops fell back in good order and proceeded to shoot Morty down. We then engaged in a ranged fire battle with some sneaky scorpions keeping his tanks engaged in combat and not shooting for a few turns.<br />
The highlights for me was when Will used a stratagem to explode a plague drone in my lines and inflict the final wounds on three units. Making 6 disgusting resilience rolls for a plague burst crawler, needing only to fail three for it be destroyed and instead he rolled six 6's. I had to shake his hand for that.<br />
<br />
But in the end I reduced his army down to just one crawler remaining before we ran out of time.<br />
<br />
My final victory was 27 / 20<br />

<b>Results</b></div>
<br />
With this last battle completed my final placing was 15th out of 128th, this was my best placing at a major event to date.<br />
My Dojo teammates consisting of Leigh, Tim and Matt finished 2nd, 12th and 78th.<br />
<br />
As a result our team, The Death Touch Dojo secured the Best Team Award for the event.<br />
This was an awesome result. I wish I had been there to see it, but I had a plane to catch. Which was delayed by an hour, so I could have stayed. Sigh.<br />

I highly recommend attending Cancon for a weekend of gaming, regardless of the games system you play. It is a great weekend, and I will be going again.<br />
<br />
A big shout out to the TO's for the event, they did an amazing job, before, after and during and would and will attend their events again in the future.<br />
<br />

<br />
Twenty five has the feel of plenty of time to get everything completed for this event, and in truth it is with the following exceptions. I have a family holiday with my wife and son for a week, and the day of travel prior to the event, as I am a Victorian and I will need a day of travel.<br />
<br />
Factor these into the equation and I have a total of 19 days to complete my army. And by days I mean evenings. And this equates into 76 hours. Whoops I have 76 hours of hobby until Cancon. Time to stop typing and start painting.<br />

Well I will be taking my Eldar Craftworld army of IL-KAITHE to Cancon, that much at least I am certain.<br />

So whilst working on my Eldar I found myself drawn to the colours of Purple and green, looking through the Eldar resources both online and in hard copy, I found that a Craftworld called il-kaithe used those colours, once I had read everything I could on this Craftworld I was sold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

On a blogging front I have not been as prolific as I would have expected, but that is okay.<br />
On the gaming front I have been active with the majority of my time devoted to Warhammer 40K.<br />

<br />
Over this last year I have played a lot with my Marines and Recently with Craftworld Eldar. Since 8th edition has been released I have played over 50+ games. This does not sound a lot, but for myself that is massive, as the year before I played 0 games of any board top system.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the hobby front I have painted 6 marines in the scheme of my Flame Wolves Chapter and 42 Eldar miniatures in that of Craftworld IL- KAITHE since 8th edition dropped, again the year before I had painted zero.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
What does this mean? And why do I feel the need to blog about it?<br />
<br />
The answer is that this sets my baseline for 2018, this is my goal to play more games than last year and have painted and completed more miniatures. That I intend to have both these armies completed in 2018 and that I will at the very least provided a monthly blog update to share my gaming adventures.<br />
<br />
Finally, that I intend to attend a lot more tournaments this year, starting with <a href="http://www.cgs.asn.au/cancon/" target="_blank">Cancon</a>, where i have entered into the 40K ITC championship. More on this in a later post.<br />

At this stage my hobby time consists of playing 40k, getting used to the rules and slowly tweaking my army so that it better suits my play style. My current tally for for 8th edition is 6 wins and 14 losses. Not a bad score for the time being, will post soon with updates of my Raven being built etc.</div>

How many Cp to you include in a 2000 point army?<br />
<br />
Of course, there is no hard and fast mandate that you need to include any Cp past the initial three you receive because you are battle forged. Your army could use only the patrol detachments and other detachments that do not issue Cp bonus's, that is entirely up the the individual and the Army they design and play. I intend to focus my rambles on my army of Flame Wolves for this article.<br />
<br />
First I think that 6-7 Cp is about the most that I can squeeze into my army design process. Currently I seem to be taking a Battalion detachment (+3Cp), and either a Vanguard/Outrider/ Spearhead detachment (+1Cp) and occasionally a Auxiliary support detachment (-1Cp). These detachment choices for my Flame Wolves seem to be my optimal setup, I do not currently use any Lord of War choices or fortifications.<br />
<br />
The next thought I am trying to think through is the uses of the Cp themselves. I always use a Cp to re-roll the seize roll so that I can go first, that reduces my allowance to 5-6 Cp, and the remainder I uses for critical re-rolls in game.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Jo1L51Cq5ie-vFE-GiPPIU_gU-PnRs-Ti6c7pACFybBXUCA2JvbLs9Xo-jdNsYn9C3WsdidEhUZ8FhbkqtZ_MgzgGN_Qi_LoYrTbAFXLAF3qX9ZRQqnhYCLj91h9fooB-kjkMpl6OJaZ/s1600/Screen+Shot+08-12-17+at+08.54+AM.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="124" data-original-width="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Jo1L51Cq5ie-vFE-GiPPIU_gU-PnRs-Ti6c7pACFybBXUCA2JvbLs9Xo-jdNsYn9C3WsdidEhUZ8FhbkqtZ_MgzgGN_Qi_LoYrTbAFXLAF3qX9ZRQqnhYCLj91h9fooB-kjkMpl6OJaZ/s1600/Screen+Shot+08-12-17+at+08.54+AM.PNG" /></a></div>
<br />
Is this the best use of my Cp?<br />
To be honest I do not believe that it is. My play style, experiences and usage of Cp will become better the more I play, with the new Space marine Stratagems and Chapter tactics from the Space Marine codex there are new better ways to meaningful spend the Cp's besides re-rolls.<br />
<br />
With this in mind I think the Salamander chapter tactics suit my play style and the fluff of my marines the best.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz_oWW0jAsYMRNb7s65A7Cqxq4oc4VBA3kKn8i6QfmyOJeZLJcYz2wmLkQEejz23cIjfqfmnwFyCUU7GVPJDNdYHuyMNjrlvntWMefXJdMmypu_1Yu1EeTJNwoRnGCaPpkfL3atxmBI4fl/s1600/Screen+Shot+08-12-17+at+08.59+AM.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="193" data-original-width="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz_oWW0jAsYMRNb7s65A7Cqxq4oc4VBA3kKn8i6QfmyOJeZLJcYz2wmLkQEejz23cIjfqfmnwFyCUU7GVPJDNdYHuyMNjrlvntWMefXJdMmypu_1Yu1EeTJNwoRnGCaPpkfL3atxmBI4fl/s1600/Screen+Shot+08-12-17+at+08.59+AM.PNG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Whilst this does not help vehicles at all, it will go some way to reduce my reliance on Cp re rolls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay the next stage of reducing reliance on Cp uses for re-rolls, is of course including units that passively buff the army. Some of these are Captains, Lieutenants and others. I think that I will leave for thoughts on army design to another article, when I feel the urge to put my thoughts down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway I know this is a somewhat inconclusive end, so let me just finish with, If you design your army to maximise Cp generation, always address what you seem to use your Cp for and see if there is a better way to gain that ability.</div>

Well it has happened, my lovely wife has agreed to send me away for the weekend in January to play with my lead and plastic marines at that Gaming paradise of <a href="http://www.cgs.asn.au/cancon/" target="_blank">Cancon</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
The above picture gives an indication of how many gamer's of different ilk go to this event. So what does this decision mean for me?<br />
<br />
Well honestly, this means that my next five months of free time will be used either playing 40 K or painting my 40 K army. And by painting, I mean to a standard that I shall not be ashamed to play with it.<br />
<br />
This is not a bad thing, as all the armies that I have painted in the past have all been to play in a tournament. I need this push, as I have been struggling to put brush to miniature for some time now.<br />
<br />
With this in mind, I will be setting myself monthly painting targets, and will need to ensure I complete them in order to have my force battle ready.<br />
<br />
But painting is not the only requirement that I will need to ensure I complete. I will need to enter some events prior to Jan next year to ensure that my gaming standards and skills are up to snuff.<br />
<br />
To add another dimension to it, all of this must be accomplished on a Uni students budget both in Time and Money.<br />

Regardless of my intentions however, I know I will be doing more hobby in December whilst on Uni holidays, then I will in any of the months preceding it.<br />

I mean who among us, doesn't want to own every army they can.<br />
First things first, I need and want to finish my Flame wolves.<br />
<br />
Here is a current picture of my forces, be warned these are not excellently painted figures, this post is first and foremost intended to remind myself that I need to actually paint my army, and in some cases, strip and repaint it.<br />
The Shame begins.<br />

It helps my process to put these pictures up. It is always great to see how far my army has advanced in such a short time. Still I will be putting in a big push over the next few months to get these and more ready for Cancon 2018.<br /><br />Firelupushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11422703318946476322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2518384671394611866.post-3717206526506380382017-07-20T07:31:00.002+10:002017-07-20T07:31:34.354+10:00Flame wolves.

In my local gaming meta the sons of Dorn are well and truly represented, and in force. Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists and Black Templars are all being played on a regular basis. So in order to avoid future confusion by myself and my opponents, I have decided to change the name of my Chapter.<br />

Because I will still be using the Kjarl Grimblood great company symbol. I went through a few options for names, but in the end I decided to go with <b><span style="color: red;">The Flame Wolves Chapter.</span></b><br />

So with the practise fit underway, the width of my green-stuff ramp is correct, the height however needs work. But that will have to wait a bit.<br />
<br />
I still need to assemble my lascannons and heavy bolter sponsons, but they can wait a bit, I am way behind in my painting vow in B&C <a href="http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/">Here</a>.<br />

<br />
After all the work over the last couple of weeks getting my marines ready to paint. I decided my army could do with some punch. This was actually fairly easy to decide, whilst putting together my marines, I found a kit that I forgot that I had.<br />
<br />
Enter the Landraider.<br />
It is missing some parts, probably used for other projects, notably the engine panel and front ramp. The engine panel is not a major deal as the doors will be closed, but I will need to make a custom door for the front, and I will be giving my green stuff skills a shot with this and see what happens.<br />
