Last Saturday we had another game at Laurents place, 4 players with 1000 points each. Tyranids and Chaos versus Orks and my Dark Angels.... The game was quite even until turn 4 were the dice gods decided to wipe out the orks and marines, in two turns of shooting we didn't even manage to land a single wound! and it was not for lack of trying.
I am considering using the Blood Angels or Space Wolfes codex for my army lists, Laurents created a 1000 pts Space Wolfes army that I may try out for our next game. The list calls for 3 veterans armed with power fist and combi-melta. Since I only have 1 combi-melta in my bitsbox I decided to try and convert a few from some bolters and vehicle multi-meltas. For the first sergeant I used the sergeant from the Black Reach box, I think the result is quite good.I'm still painting my command squad, all thou I found out that they are considered one of the worst units in the Space Marine codex, but for a fluffy army they are a must. I've realised that fluff and proper army lists are mutually exclusive and thus I've adopted the strategy to build and paint my army according to fluff and add some models (like the three power fist / combi-melta sergeants) to a separate flavour of the month"bits box".
