The ending of one army comes the beginning of the new. With my 1250 points of Crimson Fists completed, my objective markers done and my first tournament in 4 days I turn already to the next (will post some pictures and a rundown of the tournament when I can).
I am 4 days out from getting a Battle Force box for Chaos Space Marines and I am already re-modifying my 1250 list I created for the army. I have spent some time just skimming through some sites and I came to the thought that in taking an unmarked army with only standard Chaos Space Marines as I was originally considering might be a good idea but I want to have the fun of not only having a variety of troops but also a lot of different colours and there was also the fact of lack of cash for what I wanted to do.
I am thinking now of two squads of Chaos Space Marines painted up as Warriors of Mayhem. A squad of Plague Marines painted up as The Reborn. A squad of Berserkers I am still undecided on as well as a squad of bikes and my Lord. Going to check my points today and see about either adding a sorcerer depending on the points I have left in a 1250 size force.
With this new army comes the chance not only to paint and convert with Chaos but I also with the challenge of two mates to our own tale of 3 gamers the chance to face the Tau and most likely the Nercon’s in a narrative campaign which is something new.
I have also created a second blog as my workshop to chronicle the journey of the tale of 3 gamers and keep track of other projects.
Let’s see how we go!

A Few Pictures
Just thought I would post a few pictures I have taken of late of my Crimson Fists.
The 1250 Point Army!
A good picture of my almost completed Captain!
My first tactical squad that I use as my Captains Command Squad!
My second tactical squads Serge!
My Librarian that travels with my second tactical squad!
When my second tactical squad brakes down into combat squads then this brother leads the second combat squad!
As you can see my army is coming along faster than when it started. MOAB is less than a month away and I still have to detail a little, decal alot and make up my objective markers.
Lets see how I go!

Orks Vs Crimson Fists
Well you learn when you play against Orks that firstly damn they move fast even on foot and secondly they don’t call it the green tide for nothing. I played my 1250 points of Crimson Fists against 1250 of Orks and with two games done it was a fun outcome.
The first game I was tabled by the Orks by turn 5. Even though it was an objective mission my opponent had only one goal in mind and that was my total removal from the table which he completed with style and finesse. My biggest mistake in the first game was I deployed to far forward which cost me a round of shooting. I also realised that my current force is set up more for facing a mechanised army than a foot slogging one.
Turn One.
The Orks went first and it was myself missing a lot of shots and the Orks forgoing shooting to run.
Turn Two.
Second turn saw myself having to forgo shooting for a large chunk of my army as the green tide meet me in close combat after a walk, a waaagh and a charge. What was fun to watch was the Ork rockets slam into my command razorback and destroy it forcing my combat squad being lead by my captain to disembark.
Turn Three.
This turn saw the looted wagon with the 10 Tank Bustas with 3 Bomb Squigs disembark on the right flank and charge a combat squad being lead by my Librarian. My Combat Squad with Captain being charge by the Shooter boys squad and my Assault Cannon Dreadnought step in front of War Lord Ghazghkull Thraka to take the charge.
Turn Four & Five
All Hell broke loose as the War Lord Ghazghkull Thraka destroyed my Dreadnought and ripped through my remaining armour. The Shooter Boys ripped apart my Captains Combat Squad and my Captain was finished off with a blow from the Nobs Power Klaw. My Librarian’s Combat squad took some heavy causalities but managed to drive off the Tank Busta’s only to be hit and destroyed by a Mob of Slugga Boys.
All in all it was a great game that saw my Crimson Fist being totally tabled by the Orks.
