WAAGH! Drillteef

This year’s Goldensprue Cup once again showed that the Northeast continues to have an incredible community willing to support our hobby and the establishments which make it all possible. This was our fourth year as a proper 40k GT and our second year as an Age of Sigmar GT. While we were bigger than ever (51 players for 40k and 26 players for AoS), the event ran smoother than ever. This is a testament to the group’s experience and how well the games themselves have evolved. Note that lists for our events can be found on the Best Coast Pairings app. From a game-play perspective, the 40k GT saw the surge of Space Marines in the meta reach its crest. Five of the top eight players brought a Space Marines list, however the Chapters represented were not strictly Iron Hands, but also Ravenguard and White Scars. Of course, the successor Chapter Tactics, Long Range Marksmen, Stealthy, and Master Artisans were featured heavily in these lists. Also in the top 8 were a mixed Astra Milita...

The hive world of Angelenos cried into the churning void for aid and many heroes of the Imperium answered, among them the Black Templars. The dark-clad Astartes charged themselves with the defense of the world's most sacred locations, using them as mustering positions and rallying points against the enemy. Wherever the sanctified edifice of a Land Raider Crusader crawled, heretics died by the dozens. Unfortunately, the loyal weren't the only souls to hear the wretched cries of the Angelenans. Lucius the Eternal and his coterie of depraved followers hearkened to the pleas of the damned. It was such delicious music to their ears. They cut swathes through the meagerest of enemy positions, many defenders turning coat mid-battle, overcome with the joy of pain and slaughter. The Emperor's Children drove their assault straight to the Sanctum Basilicum of Saint Hermine where the Black Templars were mustering for another assault. They did not have much warning of the approa...

Rumor of the war on the icy rogue planet of Isolation rode swiftly on the currents of WAAGH! energy throughout the sector. Ork warbands of all varieties heeded this conflict's siren call and Sizzlegrub's company was no different. Although the Big Mek had other designs throughout the region, he could not resist the gestalt will of the horde under his command. This was especially true of the Evil Sunz contingent which made up the bulk of his infantry support. Besides, why not dive into a good scrap and possibly loot some long-forgotten know-wots? After planetfall, the Orks scoured the ruins of pre-fabricated buildings erected around an Imperial excavation site. It had seen a great deal of conflict already, but the Imperials had obviously not found what they'd been looking for. Sizzlegrub's mob came upon a group of heavily mechanized Adeptus Mechanicus rooting about in the burned-out buildings, searching for something. Whatever it was, Sizzlegrub was certain he wanted i...

As I finish up models that have been sitting in my queue, I've been doing army shots including them. Last week, I finished up the knight models I had lying around. The lore for Knight House Draco has advanced in the Era Indomitus. The house's pencheant for daemon fighting has caught the eye of the Ordo Malleus and they have been brought into the fold. Their worlds have been put under communications blackout and household forces sworn to the crusade against the Ruinous Powers. They are now known as the Ordo Draconis and even Greater Daemons tremble at the mere mention of their name. Tiamat Drogon Gojira Melificent Falcor Smaug Jabberwocky Jormungandr The Eye Stalkers

Dacla was once a glittering pleasure world, but with the emergence of the Cicatrix Maledictum, now you can't throw a rock anywhere on the planet without hitting a prefabricated fortification. An entire battlefleet's worth in bastions, defense lines, and fortresses have been dropped or erected in order to bolster Dacla as a burgeoning Fortress World. What's more, the planet is a staging ground for some of the Imperium's most elite units. As such, this makes Dacla rather difficult to ignore by the Orks. Big Mek Sizzlegrub has been working tirelessly with all the insights he's gained from his adventures in the Somnium Stars, so his time is spread thin. As such, he has equipped many of his generals with various ingenius experiments and sent them off to test against appropriate targets. Chief among these inventions have been improvements to the Shokk Attack Gun design and Traktor Kannons. What better way to test these devices than against the formidable Deathwing? ...

After over-extending his resources throughout the sector, Big Mek Sizzlegrub fell back to his palatial holdings on Ragnarork in order to refit and refuel his war machine. A pair of Evil Sunz Weirdboyz dwelled in that place, working with Sizzlegrub's meks to devise wily methods of transporting their forces throughout the sector. The ancient reliquary had been home to many ancient relics which the greenskins had either cast aside or used in the construction of Sizzlegrub's more esoteric projects. It was during this time that the Custodes came to reclaim these relics. Even though many golden-clad warriors gave their lives under the swarming tide of muscle and teeth, their Captain's heroic charge could not be turned by the Orks, no matter how much pressure they put on him. In the end, Sizzlegrub was forced to fall back and lick his wounds, allowing the Custodes to sieze the Reliquary and tend to their casualties unmolested.
