From what I heard, that earlier Blood Angel movie effort got the axe some time back. Apparently GW is back on the horse and trying again.

OK, thaks guys, the Church of Scientology has been turned in to Google, so John Travolta shouldn't be troubling us any further. Thanks for the investigative help!

Dear Lord!!! That has re-defined B movies forever! Maybe there is a very good reason GW has kept a lid on 40k movies all these years. I'm going to be thinking about that paper-mache Genestealer for weeks!

Tad, that Phantom is Stunning! If you get me a good shot of it against a single colored background' I would love to put it in the book! Wow, she is a looker! I have 4 titans, and am officially jealous.

Sure thing, send it to the blog! I'll check it out. I'm most worried about finding pics for the Hellknight and the Contagion, as they were somewhat rare epic releases.

I like to think our traitor Land Raiders only hold 10 becasue of our luxurious leather recaro seats, and numerous cupholders.

Get painting, and send me something when you're finished. Try to get a nice pic up against a white background, and I'll take a look.

Hi Machinator. Your Leviathan is outstanding. If you can get a shot of it in roughly the same angle that is used in the current version of Lords of Battle against a white background and email it to the blog, I will certainly use it in the book. (with proper credit of course)

She's a real beauty!

Oops, all is updated now guys. I hit the post button a little early by accident... :( This is a 5th edition list using the new CSM codex.

Yeah, against elite assualt armies like Blood Angels, Templars, etc... the army has to hole up in its "Scab mode". You make a physical fort using the two raiders and the Defiler, with small gaps just narrow enough for models standing behind to fire through. The occupants get inside the fort to lend support fire and are available for countercharge.

The daemons and termys either support the firebase, or go deep into the enemy deployment zone to raid abandoned objectives as the assault army moved forward.

I've been very impressed with the survivability of the Land Raiders in 5th, and the assault defiler is a steal at 150 pts. The major summoned demon is also a beast for his cost.

Granted its a much harder slog, but very possbile.

@ Koschai, Agreed on most points, but I think you are overlooking the value of the terminator squad. In an army like this, the whole key is battlefield presentation. In many games I just deploy the termys and walk them up. Its very tough for many players to prioritize between both LRs, the Defiler, and the Termys all coming at them at once.

Your summary of the use of small deamon packs is spot on. They are popcorn and I expend them ruthlessly as needed to both distract enemies, or buy time for the more dangerous elements to move up. A squad or two might survive in an objective game if I need to deploy some behind the advancing army to secure rear objectives.

@Legion 3000, You are correct, this is not a super hardcore tourney army, but my take on a fun fluffy Deathguard build out. It absolutely has vulnerabilities versus extreme builds (Armored company, elite assault, super gunline), but what all-rounder army doesn't.

The army however, is super fun to play, and for me, that's what its all about.

According to that White Dwarf article, a white helmet and right arm can also be used to indicate aspirants to the Apothacarium.

Just some cool tidbits to customize your army.

I'll probably do another Blood Angel successor chapter, then branch out to other stuff soon to coincide with mkerr's upcoming Army of Death mini-dex. Its going to be really sick!

Keep the comments and requests coming guys. I do these to keep the community happy so I need to hear what folks want.

On a semi-related note, expect a review of Battle for the Abyss in the near future. I'm almost through with it.

Guys, please do NOT post download links to copies of the codex.

Odd, because every image in a codex or article I found shows the blades pointed as I made them. There is also great variation in the number of "teeth" the logo uses.

Well folks, after 20 years of nothing both B&C and BoLS have simulteously put out both versions of the Space Sharks logos.

Is "Official Space Shark Day" really September 11? Yet another blow for the chapter...

Re: FANTASY RUMORS: Warriors of Chaos Spearhead

Don't worry everyone,

BoLS is still on top of all the 40k stuff you have come to expect from us, but yes, we will be slowly be working Fantasy coverage in as well.

It will be a slow, measured process so don't think that all your favorite 40k news, hobby, armylists, logosheets, and minidexes are being slowed down by even a single day...because they are coming on strong.

Don't believe me? Just wait till Monday!

I've purposely made both Reavers use variant designations from the ancient Adeptus Titanicus game to differentiate them from the more potent upcoming Forgeworld rules. So you can use the more potent and expensive new model and rules, or use these rules and your armorcast models to represent the rarer and cheaper "obsolete" Reavers

I read somewhere that the flat plateau on the tops of the 4 hill sections are designed to fit other GW terrain pieces atop them, such as the hills to make "super hills" and other vaguely mentioned future terrain releases.
