444th: Move Out!

The 444th has moved on out of the Murder Factory and on to Transfers, Freehand, and VICTORY on the tabletop with General Oadius.



The last weeks have been spent completing final details.




Final highlights on the Vet squads and initial basing texture and grass and the Army moves on to GLORY!

BAO List Variants: sDm Kabal "Combo"

 
Trying really hard to get some of that awesome indirect barrage onto the table and paying big points, poison, and lance power for it. Warp Hunters fire a 36" Large Blast D-Cannon that is Barrage, Ap2, wounds on 2+, Instant Death always on a 6, and haywire vs vehicles 2-4 glance, 5-6 pen. It can also Torrent the same weapon as a Template up to 6" away (ignoring cover, line of sight, and no scatter.) All that badness mounted on a Av12 Eldar Skimmer.

For my own tastes and tabletop Murder, two is barely enough, and its taking a lot of list wizardry to get two on the table. The Dark Eldar contingent is what I consider to be the bare essentials for the DE or E/DE to even get by. There are 10 lances in there, and of course the Beasts. I feel that there are big holes in this list, but I am dedicated to playing out those Warp Hunters for the time being.
