Assault in a Can
Another doubles tourney fast approaches, with a curious and simple FoC idea with a bit of a complicated execution. A picture being worth a thousand words:
The team shares a FoC, working similar to the allies system. I will likely be playing along side Imperial Guard with the Tier 1 HS and FA slots already filled, thus I have to fill the Elite slot before I can even look at grabbing a HS myself.
I have wanted to run this list for a long time, and it seems that I will soon have a chance to do such. 750 points of Grey Knight silliness:
Coteaz. 100 pts
Warband: Death Cult Assassin x10 (Swords/Axes), Crusader x2. 180 pts
Warband: Warrior Acolyte with Boltguns x5, Razorback with TL Assault Cannon and Psybolt. 110 pts
Tech Marine (Power Axe)
Land Raider Crusader, Psybolt, Multi-Melta. 270 pts
Coteaz invites the first Warband and the Tech Marine over to the Land Raider for a rocking good time, so good that they have to get another squad in on it on turn 2. Both Coteaz and the Tech Marine can pop Hammer Hand, buffing the Assassins up to Strength 6 with swords or 7 with axes. Add in Prescience and the Assassin’s innate Init 6, you find yourself looking at 40 Str 6, AP 3, Init 6 attacks on the charge, destroying Khorne Berzerkers before they can even swing back, or weathering a few losses and obliterating things like the Swarmlord in a single round.
Having a Pass-Back roaming the board to drop payload on an objective ain’t half bad, either.
So, I finally heard back from the nice folks at Blue Table Painting, and lo-and-behold what they linked me: a finished version of my Slaaneshii Daemon Prince!
Just needs a base, now. Also went and base coated his Helbrute buddy.
Ah, good old Deadpool!

Just about ready to wake from his slumber and fly around the game table.
And yes, he has a purple thong, back side matches, too.
FINALLY got a proper air brush set up going with a gravity feed, portable compressor, and halfways decent lighting. I think Cthulhu is pleased with the initial results.
Getting rolling on my Crons in earnest again. Trying to get some more done to be ready for the tourney this weekend.
Night Scythes are getting some love in prep for the upcoming 1750 tourney. I’m using a 50/50 blend of Ushabti Bone and Ulthuan Grey to give me a colour that is nice and pale, but still warmer than straight white. This helps to pull these guys into line with the rest of my army, and I think will go well with the gold I am using as a lighting effect on the metallic bits.
Cultist construction has been completed. For now, at least. They are outside waiting for their primer to dry at the moment. I think tomorrow I get to take the new air brush for a test run as I green up the basing for use as sea weed.
