Battle Report, 1500 point Tournament

My Daemons had another tournament outing last weekend at my local game store.  This was a 1500 point, 4 round event with 90 minutes per round.  This was a little short for some people, but I had little trouble finishing my games.  That's always an advantage to playing Daemons, plenty of time to chat with friends between rounds.  No pictures once again, cause I can't seem to remember to take them.  I even had my camera with me.

My list:
2 Great Unclean Ones, cloud of Flies
3 Squads of 6 Fiends of Slaanesh, unholy strength
3 Squads of 5 plaguebearers
2 Daemons Princes, mark of Nurgle, iron hide, cloud of flies, breath of chaos, and noxious touch

Nurgle Dreadnought

I was feeling a little overwhelmed with classes yesterday and decided to take a little time to work on a quick casual paint job.  The conversions on the dreadnought itself were done some years ago by a friend of mine.  I only needed to redo the close combat arm and fix up a few little things and it was on to painting.  The base isn't painted yet, but I wanted to share him while the techniques used were still fresh in my mind.

Imperial Guard Apocalypse

I've been working on getting my Steel Legion ready for their first Apocalypse engagement for most of the last month.  I now have a 5,000 point army ready to go.  All of the infantry are completely painted and the vehicles all have their camo patterns finished.

There are 23 vehicles and 130 infantry.  A force that has been building for 11 years now, and I am quite proud of how far they've come.

Weathering Practice

A friend of mine generously donated the use of one of his Rhino's so I could practice a few weathering techniques.  The vehicles used by his 13th company space wolves have seen a lot of abuse of the last 10,000 year,s so I got to go a bit crazy with the rust effects.

Commissar Yarrick Completed

After having the model for 11 years I have finally completed my Commissar Yarrick.  I got the model along with the Steel Legion boxed army in 1999 and just never got around to putting paint on it until now.  All things considered I'm rather glad I waited.  My skills prior to the last few years weren't up to the task.  It's a very detailed model and I hope I've done it justice.

Finished Daemon Prince

I finally managed to find something I was satisfied with as a base for the Black Legion Daemon Prince.  I picked up a vinyl floor tile and broke it into pieces.  The sloped piece at the back is there to support the tail as well as add a bit more interest to the base.  The base was then primed white, washed with Asurmen Blue, and sponge painted Skull white.  Overall a very easy process with some excellent results.

Dark Eldar Warrior

Painted a quick test model for a friend's Dark Eldar army.  My goal was to create a scheme that looked decent and was fast and easy to replicate.  I'm reasonably pleased.  The armour turned out looking rather blood splattered, which was the general idea.  I'm rather disappointed with the loincloth, so I'll need to come up with an alternative for that.

 

Best of all, the model only took about 20 minutes to paint not counting waiting for paint to dry. Here's hoping the owner is pleased.
