Man what I would give for a Capitol Imperialis in my guard army! Your scheme looks great on it, nicely done!

Hope to see your army at CanCon. I will be bringing my Vraksians, and thankfully I only need to finish 2 smaller formations to complete the list.

I'll be there Deb, but I'm still not sure on what Army I'll be fielding

Slowly getting there Gang

This looks very nice! I like the contrast between vehicles/infantry and the base.
Camo scheme looks nice also. How did you do it? I mean did you use masking or just paint it by brush?

The countdown to Cancon continues with little over 3 weeks to go!

I still haven't pulled the trigger on what to take this year yet.

Normally you get points for a win, draw or loss. This year due to time constraints we will be adopting the Newcastle Castle Assault scoring method which rewards bigger plays:

The following scoring system will be used for the tournament:

12-0 Points- Win by 5 Victory Conditions
11-1 Points- Win by 4 Victory Conditions
10-2 Points- Win by 3 Victory Conditions
9-3 Points- Win by 2 Victory Conditions
8-4 Points- Win by 1 Victory Conditions
7-5 Points- Win by Victory Points
6-6 Points- Draw

This no longer means you can go for the conservative, slight win to hit the tip tables. You really need to crush your opponent. (Sorry 16 activation Baran Siege Masters, you're too slow and too terrible for this event)

So you need a well balanced force. Able to take on the 14 activation Eldar top players (Skimmer, Triple retain bullshit and Raider..... seriously Eldar really are broken in top players hands), the 3 activation triple Warlord (Hey I'm not here to win - just ruin your day, just try and get us off the objectives and BTS), the myriad of other Warlords and great gargant mobs that will be popping up in other lists and the swarm armies as well.
And the usual defense against the air assault Emperors Children, Iyanden air assault and slightly worse than it's bretheran Space marine air assault. And at last one shooty Tau Cad

Sisters of Battle?
Well the army is looking fantastic... but the list is pretty terrible still and can definitely NOT take a lot of other armies on. So out

Knights?
With only sitting around 9-10 activation's, terrible way to shed blast markers/no good access to leader these guys are also out. Once you've played against Knight you know to just measure their assault ranges, out activate them, put a few blast markers on and set them up for clipping assaults/crossfire. So also out..

Vraksian Traitor Guard.
Tempting, I love the list but not even considering them currently as I rolled with them last year at Cancon...I just don't like to go to the same tourney with the same army twice. (plus we get these sweet coins for each army... gotta collect them all y'know)

Marines?
While it was tempting to go the Imperial Fist route, I don't think they'll be fast enough to get the big wins.... And normal marines will just not cut it against Eldar... So out

Chaos?
I have a great Red Corsair army... all in pieces though, and i have yet to try it out.... plus i went rule of cool and went a lot of Brass Scorpians, Khorne bezerkers and blood slaughterers.... and CC is always worse/less reliable than FF. Maybe next tourney, but not today...

Eldar Titans?
Well I had these in a box from a good bargain i cam across, but until some serious work is put into that list it will remain banned like Squats are from at least the biggest three of the Aussie tournaments


That leaves me with Cadians or DKOK.....
No idea on what to go for just yet. I've been writing lists for both - but none have come out and really felt right yet.
If you have some good ideas, send me a PM, would love to talk ideas haha


But Ignore my planning/whining? You're here for pictures!
So while i procrastinate I've been doing some touch ups/rebuilds of the two tables I will be bringing along to help with the 30 player tourney

Super dense city table

Getting a few fire spots of ruins/road brekages




And re-planning/building the monorail spaceport table



And working on some ships (With two more on the way)

Go with DKOK!
Swarm your enemies with Imperial human waves and make your enemies drown in guardamen blood!

The DKOK list really isn't good for waves of troops anymore. The best list I've seen for DKOK in a while is a 13 activation list with 3 warhounds, 3 SS and then the usual Command company 2x DR companies, 2x AA, Silo and TB's

And it still got hammered by Eldar

My Baran Siege Masters I think could do ok against the Eldar.... after all 16 activations of trash means you don't really care what your'e losing and you can do some good damage in return.

But the army isn't good at taking ground, or dealing with large titans. Orks have a field day against them, and they aren't good at being reactionary

Luckily I am not making my arimies to win tournaments
Maybe it is because of the lack of tournaments here in Poland and basically small amout of people even playing Epic :/

really like the details on the spruced up CapImp.
My vote is take codex marines, RC, or DKoK.

AFK with real life, still checking PMs

Next year have an Eldar army ready for the tournament- as they are - as you say - broken, or perhaps bring your Dark Eldar army. I thought you were building a DE armies as well?

Maybe you could start a Feral Ork army

On a serious note. A friend of mine has a Cadiian army that he has had an even amount of wins and losses. Usually because of the dice rolls and activating formations. The list has decent Super Heavies like Shadowswords, and Leviathans, It has Artillery, lots of basic cheap infantry and even white shields if you need extremely large cheap formations. The shock troops are quite decent, and they have your usual sentinels, ogryn, snipers, Leman Russes, Deathstrikes, bombers and fighters, Hydras, and iron fist platoons. They can be tailored to suit the tactics you need, and still give a decent amount of activations. The army also has enough TK weapons and indirect artillery to be effective. I think they can also take Valkyrie transported formations as well - I think. That should sort out your objective taking problems.
