I'm always a fan of models I didn't have to pay the points for. Sure it opens up an opportunity for the enemy to get more points, but Nurglings aren't that expensive and if the opponent is shooting at your free unit he isn't shooting at your flesh hounds.

If by RAW, you mean "Reg06's Audacious Whims", then you'd be right.

Well, as always you were saying wise words, so I rampaged through my bits box in search for nurgling like models
I had some nurglings, snotlings and little animals and put them on 5 bases.
When the glue is dry, I'll greenstuff some more nurgle on it and then undercoat them ( probably tomorrow)

I also made another tray, for my second unit fleshhounds, so all ranked units are on bases.
Actually, made isn't the good word, as I'm glueing the edges to the base right now.

And all of this has to be finished next saturday, because then I'll already be travelling to my friend and won't be home till after the tournament.

Now all we need is the 7th edition rule that said if the models are killed they don't get to fight and we WOULD be a broken army! lol

I should make it.
I retouched the battle damage and the painted the nurglings.
The sand is on the bases for the nurgling bases and can be painted tonight and tomorrow evening.
I think I'm going to make it...

After all, painting 100 night goblins is something you do in the morning just before you are off to work.

And I think you missed a 0 when you wrote 11 armies. The correct nr should be 110 armies I would think, based on your painting speed.

I made it and was sorry about it.
To be honest, I have an army I don't like to play.
Daemons is not interesting and quite frankly I can't play with them.
I get back to my dark elves and use a rapier in stead of a broadsword.

I know what you mean. Daemons are powerful and all (when I manage to get them to work. I don't do terribly well with them), but they don't spark my interest game-play wise.

Aw, that's a shame mate! :) But I prefer the thought of you playing DE's :) It's just more lexy :)

DoC really spark my interest game-wise :) I'm yet to lose a game with them, and just like the way they play :)

In november there is a tournament based on the ETC rules.
The rules for army size are the same but one: dark elves were cut back from 2250 to 2k.
In my mind the best would be having it 2100, but it's not my tournament.

So I'm thinking about taking daemons again.

"So why not ogres, Lexy?"
I'll tell you: I don't have 2500 points of them.
If I had, I'd brought them.
The biggest problem for ogres (and Orcs and goblins for that matter) is that 2500 points is harder to deploy against the smaller armies.

The idea is to bring Kla-rens this time.
There is a cap on 10 power dice per magic fase and 10 dispell dice per magic fase, so with 2 magical characters and 3 units horrors I'm quite okay there.
I don't have flamers and I'm not planning on painting and buying anything before a tournament anymore.

The list will be:
Kla-rens - Bloodthirster with reroll to hit, flaming sword and obsidian armour.
Herald of nurgle L1 BSB with banner of despair
Herald of tzeentch L2 with flamer imitation

10 horrors
10 horrors
10 horrors (some of them can be 11 or 12)
19 plaguebearers with full command.

5 fleshhounds
5 fleshhounds
 
That's about 2000 points and we'll see what happens.

Just look back in the thread JJ, the pictures are still there :P

I played a training game yesterday and well, that went okay if you see the end result.

I changed the list a bit:
Kla-rens
nurgle BSB
herald of tzeentch
2 small units of horrors
1 unit of plague bearers
2 units of 5 fleshhounds
6 flamers
5 furies

I didn't have any luck with the -2 leadership banner, as he failed them by alot of made them anyway.

The issue was this:
He had a unit of dragon princes and a lord on dragon.
This basically stopped about all my attacks to get to his strong units.
so I wiped out everything else except for an extra mage and some archers and he wiped out everything of me except kla-rens and the BSB.

So he won with a slight margin (reminds me: I want a high elves army in the team next year.)

I'm going to change the list a bit more:
create 6 flamers out of skeleton warriors
give the tzeentch herald a banner and put it on a disc.
That way he can fly with kla-rens and give a new meaning to terror tests on -2 (I miss my evil looking smiley)

So pics will be here soon and now back to the next unit.

Argh!
I have been thinking about the colourscheme and bases for my daemons, and I'm thinking of changing them.
The annoying thing is this:
I have to do it before or after the ETC.
I have more stuff to paint.

I could start with the ETC army, but first I have to think about colour schemes.

ooh!  I like those horrors - what did you use for the "skin" tones?

also, in your battles, what are you going to equip kla-rens with??
x105 - keeping pace with my wins!

Ogre achievements: 65/101 latest: maneater (play in 5 different venues)

Latest Fantasy Result: ogre kingdoms vs. high elves - 1500 points - win!

New ogres: 36/6/5

Lexy 20 Feb 2010
Thanks,

I've used the very lazy recipe:
space wolves grey with baal red wash.
Then do the rest wih easy highlighting and done.
10 horrors in just over an hour.

For the ETC I'll use a cooky cutter build (I can avoid certain armies in there)
firestorm blade, the re-roll gift to hit and one of two: obsidian armour or the 3+ armour with dispell scroll

I think for other tournaments the same.
