The Crimson Disciples - Begining Anew

So, I figured I'd chronicle my forray into a new army...... again. I posted about it several months ago, but never got around to starting it, but the time has come!

The Crimson Disciples.
Chaos Space Marines (using Codex Blood Angels)

The first step in the creation of a new army (at least for me) is what type of army do I want to play?
The answer for this one is a Mech Heavy list that has a solid firebase and protects itself from the enemy onslaught.

So Part 1: The firebase.

Which starts with the troops.
I want to run an armor based list so a firebase+armor using the BA Codex = Razorbacks. 6 to be precise.
All loadout is the same Lascannon + Twin Linked Plasma Guns. (Big Surprise I know, but it's always been my favorite loadout since 2nd edition.)

Then, in true chaos fashion, each will have 5 guys inside.

Next up is HQ. since I'm spoofing both BA and the Word Bearers (the dark disciples) the HQ can be none other than Librarians (Sorcerers). and to both Protect The Army (Shield of Sanguinius) and scare the opponent (Fear the Darkness) they should be good to go!

Next up is the Support Fire. Heavy support will break from the normal BA Heavies in that there will be no Stormravens. just Vindicators with Siege Shields (3 to be precise). and the Fast Attack. So to continue with the Armor theme, Baal Predators (again 3) armed with utilitarian layouts: Assault Cannons with Heavy Bolter Sponsons.

Now to fill in some holes, Resiliency in the ranks, I'm adding 4 Sanguinary Priests. (2 squads of 2) with Infernus Pistols and Power Swords.

So, When I create a new army, I always plot out what the army lists will be all the way through.

So, Starting at 1500 and going all the way up to 2500 points, here they are:

3 Chaos Vindicators

3 Chaos Vehicle Upgrade Kits

The Possesed will be the Sanguinary Priests.
Thoughts on this anyone?

Apologies..... and an Update

So, a long time with no posts..... God I wish I had more time to keep up my Blog.

I've taken a position as Manager of Good Games Montana (Like us on Facebook) and between that and my "Real" job as a Graphic Designer, my life is spread REALLY Thin.

I'm sorry to every one of my followers who has looked in disappointment at the complete lack up updates to this and well.... stopped looking.

Anyhow, I'll continue to TRY and put up some updates soon, I've got several tables to build in the upcoming weeks so that at least will give me some opportunity to blog.... a bit.

Thanks for staying around... if you still are.

Haters Gonna Hate.....

So apparently I've got people that don't like me in a neighboring town because I was trying to give them advice on an army build they were working on.... At a tournament..... Where I took a FUN army..... and still placed higher than them.....

Haters gonna hate.

Douche....:D

That is all for now.

Magic The Gatering...... What the $#@!

So, as goes along with the job fo working at a Game Store, I'm picking up other games... including one that I've not played in a long time. Magic The Gathering.

Yeah, I used to be good at this game.... Now, I suck.

So I'm doing what I always do.... Challenging myself. I'm playing the newest mechanic to the best of my ability and this is what I've come up with:

Plague Stinger x4

Blight Mamba x4

Hand of the Praetors x4

Icor Rats x4

Skythrix x2

Putrefax x2

Spells: 11

Forest x8

Total 60

Sideboard : 15
