My last post was in 2010. Since then, I've moved to another part of the country, stopped gaming and generally retired from the hobby. Recently, I was diagnosed with an illness, so, I ended up having a bit of extra time to dabble with the hobby again.
I've recently moved into a new home, so, I had carve out a space for me to hobby. At the moment, it's not much, just a couple of tables and a bunch of unfinished minis. Recently, I added a new airbrush set to my arsenal of hobby stuff.
What projects will I get into? I've a few in mind. At the forefront is the completion of my "SCARS" project for the IG or the Astra Militorum as they're called now (what a mouthful). Another interesting one is my alien Dark Eldar Kabalite force. Of course, I'll need to rework my existing Orks.
Until I have something more definite...

Back at Legio!
And the feeling was awesome!
As you guys probably figured, its been some time (almost 6 months) since I last set foot at the hallowed halls of Legio Malaysia. I was fortunate enough to be able to drop by last night.
There was Jeff and Azlan fighting it out with Eldar and Thousand Sons. Soon, I was in a fight with Jo's Tyranids. As usually happens, when in a game, one tends not to notice what's happening around oneself. Anyways, during my game, Dann dropped in as well as Rizal and Iqbal. Oh. I forgot to mention, there was two guys I've never met before. They've gotta be cool fellas since they're at Legio, after all. My bad for not introducing myself to them but I was so excited for a game at legio that it blocked all other considerations, lol.
Also, I don't have the luxury to hang around until Legio closes and later go for mamak. So, what opportunity I got I use to savor the games being played and engage in conversations with old friends. Quite funny observing Iqbal's vs rizal match. i wonder who prove the better general?
In my game with Jo, we rolled a 1+1 mission with DOW deployment. He had first turn (whew!) and I dumped everything in reserves. It was a new experience for me as I've never faced such a list before. There was a swarmlord escorted by 2 guards, a tervigon, 2 trigons, a unit each of termagants and genestealers, 3 units of hive guards (2 each) and a whatchamacallit that has a big spout that fires s10 shots.
It ended a draw with my nobs and 'ard boyz dead. The grots proved pivotal once again in securing the draw when they sat on my objective after the menacing swarmlord was finished off by the faraway lootas. On Jo's side, he had the tervigon babysit his objective. Something I learn from this game was that it's better to get to grips with the MCs around as they don't cause instant death to my nobs. The best moment for me was when the trigon was taken down by the 'ard boyz and when the swarmlord was reduced to 1 wound by the 'ardboyz. Oh yes, the grots managed to pistol shot 3 gaunts who were threatening the objective after the lootas thinned their ranks.
All in all, itwas a fun game, and thanks to Jo for making it so. despite being able to make my life miserable, he chose to go easy on me last night and not play all his cunning tricks. Well, since my list is so predictable, what can one expect?
Okay, time to finish that IG list of mine.

I'm gaming again!
Wow! After more than 5 months of not touching WH40K, I finally managed to drive to KL and have a blast of 3 games on Sunday! Let me tell you, the joy and sweetness of picking up the dice again was delicious.
After my long absence from the tabletop, it's not suprising to have me being rusty and making blunders along the way. Who cares? it's the fun that matters. Anyway, My first game that day was against Peter's "cheezy" oblit/lash list. it was a 1+1 mission and I managed to scratch a narrow win of 1-0 (whew). My second foray that day was versus John and his Eldar (Saim-Han wannabes). He totally trashed my army, leaving only 8 models left in that KP game (sob,sob). my last game was with Shazli and his ultramarines. My mobs managed a convincing win in that KP game, almost TAed him except for a damaged Land Raider (Yay!)
The next evening, Peter was kind enough to offer a game(rematch). This time, his CSM managed to draw, leaving the battlefield littered with dead from both sides. That was a fun game.
Well, at the moment, I'm waiting for my Warhammer Fantasy Rule Book (8th Ed). i wonder how the game will be?

Forming up the SCARS
work really took their toll on me last couple of weeks. now, i have a little breathing space, so, back to wargaming :)
I think i wrote sometime ago that my IG stuff is here, so now I'm beginning to start them up. This time around, I aim to improve on my hobby side of thing for this army. (here's hoping)
Right, the army is basically an elite unit, hence the colorful acronym SCARS that stands for Special Combat And Rescue Squadron. Fluff wise, these guys are the best of the elites (without becoming space marines) for humans. They are part of the Karaxian Special Operations Group and are tasked for quick, lightning raids against high value targets deep behind enemy lines.
SCARS 1, 201ST SOG, RGKD
HQ
Company Command Squad Alpha w/count as Straken Colonel
Astropath
Officer of the fleet
2 Bodyguards
Primaris Psyker
ELITES
Delta Squad-5 man stormtrooper
Halo Squad-5 man stormtrooper
TROOPS
Nova Squad-veteran squad led by count as Bastonne
chimera
Echo Squad-veteran squad
Zulu Squad-veteran squad
Bravo squad-veteran squad led by count as Harker
FAST ATTACK
Ghost 6-Valkyrie
Vyper 8-Vendetta
Vyper 3-Vendetta
Its a 1750 points list. all the squads are equipped with carapace armor, except for Bravo, which acts as a recon/pathfinder team and equipped with camo cloaks. Nova is a fire support unit, Echo an all rounder unit, while Zulu is dedicated assault unit. The 3 Valkyrie/Vendettas will act as gun platform/fire support as well as transport for the troops.
Elements of this force will be seen in the Iron Painter Event at Legio and in the Doubles tourney. I plan to finish them , if possible before SPORE, but will not rush things if it cannot be done.
I'm using SM scout bodies for most of them and will use catachan models for Bravo squad. A few items are still en route but the bulk of the force is with me, awaiting assembly. I even managed to get 2 sets of Vendetta conversion kits from Forge World.
How this army will perform on the battlefield, I have no idea. But this kind of list I've dreamed of building since 3rd Ed. So, I hope everything work out well for me.

After Raya Gaming
Back from AidilFitri and straight to the gaming tables! Wow!
I came back to KL on Thursday and was back in action at Legio on Friday. This time, da boyz met Alvin's Alpha Legion and managed to scrape off a close victory (1-0 objectives) The warboss was everywhere, holding da boyz together as the legion tried to advance. Dok Grosnik was put down along with da 30 'ard boyz, but they managed to hold da twin Lords, terminators and a squad of CSM for some time, enough for the nob bikers to destroy an oblit squad, a havoc squad, a csm squad, and a land raider.
Da deff koptas destroyed a rhino before being sent off the battlefield by the Ac toting havoc squad. The lootas didn't do much damage, just destroying a rhino and causing some wounds here and there. Both da twin Lords were taken down by da 'ard boyz and Dok Grosnik and the warboss took care of the last terminator who was threatening the grots. the nob bikers managed to destroy the last csm squad before running off da board hahaha.
In the end, the grots hunkered down behind cover and secured the objective. Victory!
In the next game, the mob met Khairul's Saim Hann Eldar. A very fast and mobile army with a seer council mounted on jetbikes. In the beginning of the battle, the eldar force redeployed some of their units and in the opening salvo, targeted the deffkoptas and 'ard boyz.
The biker nobz promptly retreIn the next turn, eldar reinforcements arrived and cut down the lootas. Luckily for the mob, the lootas stayed put and did not flee. Eldar shooting continued to cut down the number of 'ard boyz and the seer council moved forward. In the ork's turn, Snikrot turned up and assaulted the guardian jetbikes while dok Grosnik led the 'ard boyz in a Waarg! against the seer council. Warboss Grimfang moved up his nob bikers to support Grosnik's charge.
The guardian jetbikes were overrun while the dire avengers stood their ground under a hail of loota fire. the combat with the seer council was a draw but the farseer leading the group died under a power klaw. The next turn saw Eldrad coming out from his Wave Serpent and called upon his formidable psychic powers on the warboss and painboy inside the nob bikers squad. The painboy was overwhelmed but the hardy warboss merely suffered a wound.
Enraged, the nobs went on to toast the accompanying dire avengers and assaulted the remaining eldar surrounding Eldrad. Eldrad was crushed underfoot and his wave serpent lost its lance weapon. on another side of the battlefield, a duel was going on between the remaining lootas and dire avengers. In the end, the lootas prevailed, with only 3 survivors left, all hefting big shootas.
In the following turn, the grots made their appearance. The remaining lootas took potshots at the rear of a nearby prism and wrecked it, despite its holo field. The combat revolving around the seer council finally ended and the eldar were unseated from their jetbikes by the unrelentless choppas of the orks.
Further assaults against the remaining eldar vehicles didn't wreck them. although one was immobilised and the orks carried the day with 7-1 KP score.
Soon, the boyz will be involved in the struggle on Arenxis Minoris as well as Legio's own 3rd season league. How will they fare?
