You know whats stupid? Forge World making their BloodThirster really expensive,
You know whats awesome? My brother buying me a perfect counts as for it for a fraction of the cost...
Yeah my bros that awesome. Christmas was good to me this year. Miracle recovery with my Aunt, good food, and now a cool giant Bloodthirster for Apocalypse.
And I'm making Angron, World Eaters Primarch, and all his Deamon awesomeness for a Painting contest at my local store.
I'll get pics soon, whenever I find my camera. Until then its back to Battlefield: Bad Company with my bro, then my usual haunting of Yes The Truth Hurts.
Hope you all have a blessed New Year.

Skies of Blood (hopefully yours)
So lets see. I want to see how I can get a use out of Storm Ravens. Lets see what I can come up with...
We want two Ravens for the army, 1 just sucks
We need Hard units to go inside of them, people keep throwing 5 man assault squads in there. Cool looking... but not worth spending 200 pts for a transport. I have an idea.
A storm raven has only two guns that I care for, the assault cannons and TL multimelta besides that its a Land raider with Armor 12 but can move twice the distance. This usualy means one less turn of being shot at to be in charging range. This is cool as now my opponent can only take one turn to kill the thing and kill the griblies inside, makes the entire game function off of one turn for you opponent.
I like how the Duel raider list functions so I'll work off of that template.
So lets see... we need termies, ravens, and dreads
1 Storm Raven w TL Multimelta and TL Ass cannon 200pts
5 Thunder hammer Storm Sheild Terminators 225pts
1 Furioso Dread with Frag Cannon and melta arm 125pts
total 550pts
1 Storm Raven w TL Multimelta and TL Ass cannon 200pts
5 Thunder hammer Storm Sheild Terminators 225pts
1 Dread with multi melta and Heavy Flamer 115pts
total 540pts
Total of Totals is 1090!!!
Goodness... thats alot! Well maybe I can get it to work. Lets keep it for now. what do we have to work with... 910pts
We need to get troops but fortunatly they can keep up. Razorbacks can move 18" and then move twelve and fire. I think Heavy Flamerbacks can work and it keeps the cost down.
5 Assault Marines w melta gun and Razorback with twinlinked Heavy Flamers 130pts
Nice, take 4 for 520pts
Now to keep the opponent in place three MM/HF speeders help alot at 180 pts for the three of them.
We are at 1790, 210pts left to spend. Even with a librarian as an HQ we only have 110pts, That cant even get us another Flamerback squad. I hate to say it but the Dreads are weighing us down (hehe). That frees up 240pts. and a elite spot for a speeder to be switched for a techmarine ^_^
5 Assault Marines w flamer and Razorback with Las/Plas 125pts
Lets take two, I like the addition of AP2 in the list.
Now for the last 200pts I will add a librarian to each Thunderhammer unit. You can give them whatever powers you want but I like Unleash Rage and Sanguine Sword.
This leaves you with the following.
Librarian w Unleash Rage and Sanguine Sword 100pts
Librarian w Unleash Rage and Sanguine Sword 100pts
1 Techmarine w Jumpack and Combi-Melta 60pts
1 Storm Raven w TL Multimelta and TL Ass cannon 200pts
5 Thunder hammer Storm Sheild Terminators 225pts
1 Storm Raven w TL Multimelta and TL Ass cannon 200pts
5 Thunder hammer Storm Sheild Terminators 225pts
1 MM/HF Speeder 60pts
1 MM/HF Speeder 60pts
5 Assault Marines w melta gun and Razorback with twinlinked Heavy Flamers 130pts
5 Assault Marines w melta gun and Razorback with twinlinked Heavy Flamers 130pts
5 Assault Marines w melta gun and Razorback with twinlinked Heavy Flamers 130pts
5 Assault Marines w melta gun and Razorback with twinlinked Heavy Flamers 130pts
5 Assault Marines w flamer and Razorback with Las/Plas 125pts
5 Assault Marines w flamer and Razorback with Las/Plas 125pts
Final Total: 2000pts
It plays exactly like it looks, Ravens fly up and drop off Termies while Razorbacks drive up behind and then just toast everything. This my attempt at a StormRaven list, enjoy it.
I dont think its that competitive, Its a rock, paper, scissor list just like the Vulkan variant. It plays faster though giving about a turn less for the opponent to act.Its a gimmick list, a one trick pony and I hate these kinds of lists. But if I had to suggest something
There... got that out of my system. Back to my normal stuff I go, but lets see what insight you guys have to say about this.

Razorback conversion
 |
| Lasplas never looked so evil. |
Heres how I did my razorback conversion for Chaos.
I took one side of a lascannon from the sprue and one side of the heavy bolter and mixed them together.
The Heavy Bolter had the head of the gun removed and filed down along with the back,
A chaos knight shield was added on top and a peice of plasticard tubing was placed at the front of the Heavy bolter to represent some early pre heresy weapon which is the twin linked Plasma gun.
I attached them to the turret from the Ageis defense line for this one here but you can use the normal turret piece as well.
Hope this helps you guys as it was incredibly easy for me and I suck at modeling.

Whats up interwebs!
So, here I am... lets see what my plans are for the future.
I'm getting back into the swing of painting my stuff, I've got the following to get done...
15 Berzerkers,
9 tanks, might have to model them a little more,
somehow get the funds to build three new Lone Wolves, they need to look cooler,
Write another article for YTTH and start a flame war again (No joke, check the damage out),
write why the list i posted works (that will be here before its on YTTH)
and take part in a campain at my local hobby store, Mighty Titans in Landing, NJ. Look them up, its an awesome setup. Whenever the guy running it decides to start it up.
Its 1750 so I thought I'll just post up my list that I will be taking for the campain,
Its Logan Wing so its just pretty much what I always take.
HQ Logan Grimnar 275pts
Elite: Lone wolf, termi armor w C-Fist,S-Shield, 1 Fenrisian Wolf 95pts
Elite: Lone wolf, termi armor w C-Fist,S-Shield, 85pts
Elite: Lone wolf, termi armor w C-Fist,S-Shield, 85pts
Troop: 4 Wolf Guard, 1 Terminator w Cyclone-ML and C-Fist 150pts
Troop: 4 Wolf Guard, 1 Terminator w Cyclone-ML and C-Fist 150pts
Troop: 4 Wolf Guard, 1 Terminator w Cyclone-ML and C-Fist 150pts
Troop: 4 Wolf Guard, 1 Terminator w Cyclone-ML and C-Fist 150pts
Fast Attack: 1 Thunder Wolf w P-Fist and S-Shield 105pts
Fast Attack: 1 Thunder Wolf w P-Fist and S-Shield 105pts
Fast Attack: 1 Thunder Wolf w P-Fist and S-Shield 105pts
Heavy Support: 5 Long Fangs, 4 Missile Launchers 115pts
Heavy Support: 4 Long Fangs, 3 Missile Launchers 90pts
Heavy Support: 4 Long Fangs, 3 Missile Launchers 90pts
Total 1750pts
Funny part is that compared to my 2000pt list I really didnt lose anything important. I lost my Thunderwolf lord who I dont care for, two missile shots a turn, and my wolves for the lone wolves (Ok, those I will miss). The list is still functioning just fine. in fact its almost as if everyone else has to take 250pts less to fight me. I feel good about it.
