++++INLOADING DATAFILE 038++++ Deimos Predator Expirament 1

A quick update for today.



So I decided to try making a Deimos predator.  I've been taking one in the last like two games and it's actually really good unit currently for CSM now.  These pics are about 4 hours in, a lot of time was spent figuring out the sponsons as they are the most odd and complicated aspects.  That round door was a bitch as first!


I'm using this as a true scale experiment, I'm slightly increasing the size of the vehicle to see how much difficulty it takes.  It's only a minor change but if it's too difficult then I'll just chalk it up to this being a different mark of predator.  If it's easy then I might do the same thing for any rhinos and equivalents I make later on.  It's about 1 inch longer (extra roadwheel) and 1/3" taller.



The Lascannon Sponson is coming along quite well, once I had worked out how to fit it it went together rather easily.

This battle report features my own WIP Word Bearers host vs my old friend Chris Aruda's Tau, and no neither of us is playing a 'competitive list' in any way.

To summarize the armies on the CSM side we have:

Warlord: Huron Blackheart
Dark Apostle w/ MoT and GoM

10 Chosen w/ 3 power weapons, 2 power fists, GoM

35 Cultists w/ MoT

35 Cultists w/ MoT

35 Cultists w/ Autoguns, 3x heavy stubbers

Hellbrute w/ 2x power fists and 2x heavy flamers

Defiler w/ Reaper Autocannon, power scourge, and dirge caster.

Huron infiltrates the melter cultists forwards and the whole army rushes the enemy. Simple plans are good plans.

On the tau side we have:

Commander battlesuit w/ fusiongun, shields, and BS giving system

Shas'ui in suit with 2x flamers

3 Crisis Suits 2x pulse cannons

3 Crisis Suits plasma and fusion

12 Fire Warriors rifles and markerlight

12 Fire Warriors rifles and markerlight

12 Fire Warriors rifles and markerlight

12 Fire Warriors carbines and emp grenades in devilfish
-Devilfish w/ missile pods and flachette launchers

12 pathfinders w/ marker lights

20 kroot with sniper.

The plasma/fusion crisis team was deep striking.

The scenario was the big guns never tire with 5 objectives rolled and short edged deployment zones.

So now with no further ado here is the video:

++++INLOADING DATAFILE 035++++ Quick reality update

So I have been having a very hard time lately with real life, my now former employer has not been doing well and it made it very challenging for me to earn a living. I am a personal trainer in real life and for you to thrive your gym needs to have fair terms of employment and the membership need to be pleased with the facility overall, needless to say neither of those was the case and I decided to move on.

Fast forward to now and I have picked up 3 new clients in less than a week, the same number I had gained in the previous 3 months at my former gym, so I should be getting more time for 40k coming up.
