The 2nd Anvil of Heroes

Last week i had attended a small local tournament as practise for what i believe is the biggest, brightest and most importantly best singles tournament in Greece: The Anvil of Heroes. I had never ever used a Chaos army before last week, and so i really wasnt sure how the whole army was supposed to work, which propably led to me making some serious tactical mistakes in the anvil of heroes.

Before i go into the anvil i would like to make it clear that unlike the US and the UK and perhaps other EU countries, the Greek wargaming community is but a growing infant. A few years ago, no one even knew of what Warhammer or Warhammer40k is. Today our community has grown alot, in number as well as maturity. Where as a "Major tournament" in the US or the UK would consists of 100+ players in Greece a big tournamnet consists of 20+ players. But then again as most of us know its not the numbers alone that make up the tournament, its also the judges, the terrain, the atmosphere and last but not least, the amount of super duper competitive lists. And by these criteria one could say that "Anvil of Heroes" is the best and most competitive singles tournament currently held in Greece.

BatRep: Chaos Reigns Supreme

So then, as most of you know, the Dark Angels have always been either too loyal or too disloayal! Unlike most other chapters out there who had some loyalists and some traitors thoughout the years, the Dark Angels were splintered during the great Horus Heresy. And since that day almost no other Dark Angel has fallen to Chaos due to the vigorous watch of the Interrogator-Chaplains. Where as those who turned from the Emperor and / or the Lion has never come back (save perhaps for the mysterious Cypher).

Necron Cryptek conversions

Just another quick update to show you guys what I've been doing this week. So, I needed four Crypteks for my new army list and I didn't want to spend tons of monies for the single pose guy. Looking around on the intrawebs and stealing ideals from other blogs/forums this is what I did.

Greek 2012 ETC 40K team report

When I read the reports from Eirini (40K ETC team coach) and Yiannis (Captain) I immediately knew that I had to post them on my blog. It's becoming sort of a tradition anyway, with Leonidas posting his extensive battle reports last year. Check their ETC experience in their own words after the jump. Enjoy!

Necron Tesla Destructors and Invasion Beams painted

Just a quick update to show you guys what I've been painting this week. Apparently there isn't a single can of GW chaos black spray left in Greece so I couldn't do any progress on the Night Scythes. At least I had enough colour to undercoat these bad boys and do some work. I did everything together to save some times so now they have to wait patiently until I paint the rest of the vehicles. Oh, and I finally found a use for toothpicks!

Orks in 6th: Elites

Orks have some cool choices for Elites (and some not so good). Thankfully, with a bit of FOC manipulation (Warboss making Nobz troops) it open ups a few slots. Up until now the obvious choice has been the Lootas since it's the only long range anti-tank shooting orks get. If not very reliable it still got the job done. Let's see if this has changed in 6th or as people say, the more things change the more the stay the same.
