[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (More info?)

Well, I might be jumping the gun as well, but I figure since Craig Little
has kicked off the WFB month 4 thread, I'll do the same for 40k. After all,
it's already the Ides of March! I'm trying to reconstruct the Month 3
summary from Googled posts; if I've missed anyone or messed up the summary
of your army, please post a correct one in this thread.

I think that's everyone. Like I said, if I messed anything up or if I
missed anyone please post a correction. Also, I've tried to e-mail Philip
Bowles since this was his idea, but I don't think it went through. Philip,
if you'd like I'll be glad to take over the record-keeping for the 40k half
of the Tale. I know you said that net access was more problematic for you
now that you were in Australia.

Then, feeling wonderful over all this sin they had just abolished, the
aldermen went a little further and made it unlawful for a male citizen to
carry a gun, fight, drink, gamble, swear, disturb the peace, expose himself
indecently, or "be seen in the company of a prostitute not his wife or some
other relative."

Well, here's month 4! Thematically, this month is going to reflect the
growing number of insane and mutated farmers and townsfolk who are flocking
to the Plague Banner. I'm going to make them a heterogenous lot, built by
combining parts from the Catachan and WFB Chaos Marauder boxes with leftover
bitz from the Zombie regiment and the Ork sprues I used to make my Big
Mutants. This will really cement that "shambling hordes" concept I wanted,
as the Plague Marines and the relatively elite Traitor Guardsmen now have a
big group of mutants and plague zombies tagging along in their wake.

Surplus from last month: US$10.50
Purchases: 40k Catachan box ($30), WFB Chaos Marauder box ($30)
Money left: US$0.50

Build:
-26 "rank and file" Brawny (+1S) mutants
-2 mutant bosses w/ CCW&Power Weapon
-4 mutants w/ Hvy Stubbers
-4 mutants w/ Daemon Icons

So here's the updated list:

Lost and the Damned Army, Month 4

Arch Heretic w/ Mark of Nurgle, Bolter, Plague Sword, Nurgle's Rot - 87pts
Big Mutants x7, with 1 Hvy Stubber - 240pts
-- Big Boss Mutant w/ Hvy Stubber
Allied Plague Marines (elite) x6, w/ Bolters, 1 PG - 124 pts
Traitor Troops x14, w/ Lasguns, 1 GL, 1 ML team - 170pts
--Agitator w/ Power Fist, laspistol, Infiltrators
Traitor Troops x14, w/ Lasguns, 1 GL, 1 AC team - 170pts
--Agitator w/ Power Fist, laspistol, Infiltrators
Traitor Troops x14, w/ Lasguns, 1 GL, 1 Mortar team - 165pts
--Agitator w/ Power Weapon, laspistol, Infiltrators
Plague Zombies x20 - 180pts
Mutants x24, Brawny, 2x stubbers - 255pts
-Mutant Boss w/ CCW+PW
Rough Riders x7: 5x H. Lances, 2x GLs - 102pts
--Vetsarge w/CCW+LP

Models in army: 113 models
+ spares: 1 mutant boss, 2 mutants w/ HvyStubber, 4 w/ Icons, 4 "plain"
mutants
Total: 1493 pts
Saved: US$0.50

Next month will be a bit slow: thematically, Nurgle will be sending more of
his elites to support his new scion; practically, I'm trying to hit the 1850
point mark and save some money for a big purchase in month 6...

Neither do I.

I think I'll change things about slightly and pick up a 2nd Hammerhead
($40), with a 3rd set of Broadside Railguns & Vent bitz ($10).

$0 saved.

Month 4:

Purchases:
Chaos predator 20
3 pounds saved

1000 point list:
HQ - lieutenant 45
MoN, termi armour, manreaper, strength 70

T - 6 plague marines, 2x plasma 134
AC, p fist 34
7x infiltration 21

T - 6 plague marines, 2x plasma 134
AC, p weapon, strength 34
7x infiltration 21

T - 6 plague marines, 2x melta 134
AC, p fist 34
rhino, armour, smoke 58

T - 7 plague bearers 112

HS - Predator annihilator, las sponsons 145
daemonic possession 20

Sum 996


Adding long range support the only way Death Guard can - by using
heavy support slots. This month there was also (finally) enough points
to upgrade the lieutenant's great weapon to a manreaper.

Next step is adding more long range support (defiler or dread), or a
second rhino squad (with dual flamers).

Month 1 looked like Tau Battleforce for $90 = $10 left
Month 2
Cadian Schock troops (20) $30
Fire Warriors (12) $30
Month 3
Hammerhead $40
$10 left over

Month 4

Devlifish and Firewarrior box $50
Contains 8 firewarriors and 2 drones (I think)
$10 left over.

Use the firewarriors to re-enforce the other 2 FW sqads add the drones
to the drones squadron. Devilfish is reall for the pathfinders next
month but I can use it to keep one of the FW squads in reserve for this
month mythological battles.

Thanks Ken (and everyone else). I'm updating my lists now and I've
just posted the WFB summary. For those who aren't reading the WFB
threads, I'll repeat here that my suggestion to Guy Haley for a WD
article based on this project has been met by a deafening silence, so
I can only suppose it hasn't come to anything.
