Tournaments/events lasted 3 hours and while I don't mind a 3 hour game I dread the thought of three 3 hour games in a day. </p><p>A friend in the know has said that 10th will take 2.5 hours while getting used to it but once familiar with the rules it will be possible to play a game at around the 2 hour mark. Even if events use 2.5 hours for their rounds that is still a 1.5 hour saving over the day which could well make all the difference for an old git like me 😁</p><p>Rob and I haven't really missed 40k. Necromunda is a better game, has a more narrative aspect that suits us and looks much cooler. So why bother then? </p><p>The simple answer to that is that we've missed our mates. The Cold Steel Mercenaries (CSM for short) aren't exactly a club, we're more a bunch of like minded souls that live all across England (and one that now lives in the USA) that enjoy each other's company. They are the only reason both Rob and I keep looking at 40k.</p><p>With this in mind we both thought we'd wait for 10th to be released and see how it played before we made a decision but then Michael (our CSM figurehead) came up with a great idea for the introduction of 10th....We all buy a Combat Patrol box and have a good old get-together in August to try it out.</p><p>Just about all of the CSMs have jumped on board with this idea so for the next couple of months I'm hoping to show off how we're doing. </p><p>Sowelcome to a tale of nine gamers!</p><p><br /></p><p>We've all picked our Combat Patrols and as I write this I'm hoping for mine to arrive Tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's our choices.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Three inch levels are a lot more versatile in our experience, so when the opportunity arise to choose a height, we will always plump for 3".

We have a system that works for us and I'll quickly go through our gang building rules (this is mainly for me and Rob so we have a reference for future gangs).</p><p style="text-align: left;">We both think pets look cool but they're bloody awful rules wise so we've added a rule to allow us to use them:</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Each gang has 1600 Credits (Stash) to use.</li><li>A gang has access to the Trading Post on creation.</li><li>A maximum of 3 basic or Special weapons can be taken in a gang (e.g 3 boltguns, 3 Lasguns, 3 Plasma guns etc.)</li><li>Hangers On - For each Hanger On allowed through increased Reputation, a gang gains 50 credits to pay for them. This is separate to a gang's Credits Stash. It can be banked to allow a gang to buy a more expensive Hanger On such as an Escher Shivver for example. A Hanger On can take part in any battle should the gang wish...Desperate times call for desperate measures.</li><li>Pets Stash - Each gang is allocated 150 credits for pets upon creation. This is separate to the gang's Credits Stash, although a gang can use credits from their Credits Stash to add more pets if they wish E.G. An Orlock gang could add 50 Credits from their Credits Stash to their Pets Stash to buy two Cyber Mastiffs.</li></ol> We have more House Rules but these are the basic guidelines for how we build our gangs.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOyMJlwx1NTZcW6Wgh2Q1EdwAS18aD4Mab1XbDelbHVzanmKdP_pvB4B1TeSsjbooSj-xDRX1Nxu4gukxHE6uNrpgTlaqDoLwGYkw2fBeqF3DPSs5Wk9bhstlECt2bUASqvSNBvYwbT8/s3494/PXL_20210601_153744271.PORTRAIT%257E2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3494" height="554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOyMJlwx1NTZcW6Wgh2Q1EdwAS18aD4Mab1XbDelbHVzanmKdP_pvB4B1TeSsjbooSj-xDRX1Nxu4gukxHE6uNrpgTlaqDoLwGYkw2fBeqF3DPSs5Wk9bhstlECt2bUASqvSNBvYwbT8/w640-h554/PXL_20210601_153744271.PORTRAIT%257E2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>During our play testing games I tried using a Khimerix instead of the Ambot but despite my best efforts it quickly became apparent that it was too expensive for what it achieved (a basic Goliath ganger could take it down in combat) so I went back to the trusty Ambot Ju-Ju.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another mainstay was my helpful Rogue Witch Doc Dahn Bokor.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvJeswav99CkzJzdiX_jBQJ_tfLX09nvfxiIGbnJsPqx3Y559GQ4hJstz1Y2wIilYmUEqCdPTijIXvub1ZIy4ZyV4lFmi_2OiSXq1AdOP5cRzZD3vWynpLnlRP1C5IA7UUC3Ke42WESXk/s2636/PXL_20210601_153937727.PORTRAIT%257E2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2578" data-original-width="2636" height="626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvJeswav99CkzJzdiX_jBQJ_tfLX09nvfxiIGbnJsPqx3Y559GQ4hJstz1Y2wIilYmUEqCdPTijIXvub1ZIy4ZyV4lFmi_2OiSXq1AdOP5cRzZD3vWynpLnlRP1C5IA7UUC3Ke42WESXk/w640-h626/PXL_20210601_153937727.PORTRAIT%257E2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>There was a promotion amongst the ranks and Longpoke Kari became a Champion.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2M9eWlDzVo0IOMKK_wuAyjeY2vAybx1XM55H6KIc6Ri6Q3jX5xGEmumynplUjGHnrjRXV6yzvMdefmyMM239wBq1PQ8tDPCzxRqswRMWJ2TvcQ-ovmWoJn_YLrhrGgSMO2lErBchvn8Y/s3024/PXL_20210601_153142232.PORTRAIT%257E2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="2975" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2M9eWlDzVo0IOMKK_wuAyjeY2vAybx1XM55H6KIc6Ri6Q3jX5xGEmumynplUjGHnrjRXV6yzvMdefmyMM239wBq1PQ8tDPCzxRqswRMWJ2TvcQ-ovmWoJn_YLrhrGgSMO2lErBchvn8Y/w630-h640/PXL_20210601_153142232.PORTRAIT%257E2.jpg" width="630" /></a></div><br /><div>.....Unfortunately that meant a demotion for Kimaris or Kimmy to her friends.

After scratching my head for a while, The box was stuffed away in my bits room (yes it really has grown from a bits box to a bits room) to gather dust.</p><p>During Lockdown I was thinking of a way to add more variety to our corner of the Underhive and the idea of platforms or risers to vary the ground level popped into my head. I searched online for something suitable to use and, being the useless git that I am when using a computer, found nothing. The idea seemed dead before it had even started! Fortunately, I'm a lot better at finding things in my bits room than I am online. Bulkheads! They would make the ideal risers to vary the height.....</p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaGQMxGq7POIasOrfcyIrQshuQBtTvHXbTjI_PuDhLO9S7M7NqrfHfeOzUFe4ju22ib1ETjZedZvi2ealh0RzBXqA5SxvEQjtyZKjIlQeGryUZ2P4pUkiARbePbpzPnt47b22zGK5IjPk/s4032/PXL_20210307_130725741.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaGQMxGq7POIasOrfcyIrQshuQBtTvHXbTjI_PuDhLO9S7M7NqrfHfeOzUFe4ju22ib1ETjZedZvi2ealh0RzBXqA5SxvEQjtyZKjIlQeGryUZ2P4pUkiARbePbpzPnt47b22zGK5IjPk/w640-h480/PXL_20210307_130725741.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I decided to build them 6" wide or half a Forge World tile to be precise (a Forge world tile isn't exactly 12"). The length of the tile was dictated by the old Necromunda bulkheads. As luck would have it, 17 bulkheads work out at 4 feet. Obviously a 4 foot riser is impractical and it would reduce their versatility somewhat, so I built four of them 6 bulkheads long and two 5 bulkheads in length. <p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQwSbJKN-yzzt4lSLcEeEHAO4Z3gXlDwyt99AEhyphenhyphencjVkVOblNVuddxfet2sS6l26NeYOwnHlYx_Rx1_VSz4pCSnG4O5D6n_bbFBQpLMXqn3BQjIYhvFeidX1uaSnI8sqFB-n8JqL4HpE/s3432/PXL_20210307_172120771%257E2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1837" data-original-width="3432" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQwSbJKN-yzzt4lSLcEeEHAO4Z3gXlDwyt99AEhyphenhyphencjVkVOblNVuddxfet2sS6l26NeYOwnHlYx_Rx1_VSz4pCSnG4O5D6n_bbFBQpLMXqn3BQjIYhvFeidX1uaSnI8sqFB-n8JqL4HpE/w640-h342/PXL_20210307_172120771%257E2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>These presented a problem though. I envisioned these as middle risers. They would go between two of the 6 long risers. The problem was the Forge World tiles on top didn't line up. To get around this I added a road that would allow them to line up properly.<p></p><p>I had also run out of bulkheads at this point so after rummaging around my bits room I found some old Mantic bulkheads to make up the shortfall. This gave me an option to add something else which I'll show you at the end. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFE6g316Ni3NAb6aD3D6SCs5gLSh8oLitBDAJOPV2sjbFcM6R77o_8qasNZr_Ln33Q-24P-ojpiIIaBJYYE4W1km7d9eGRAMtiMfOaIkuEnzegE-qoVvdArzKVXbjsKKQQ0QfqMO80iAc/s4032/PXL_20210307_135604978.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFE6g316Ni3NAb6aD3D6SCs5gLSh8oLitBDAJOPV2sjbFcM6R77o_8qasNZr_Ln33Q-24P-ojpiIIaBJYYE4W1km7d9eGRAMtiMfOaIkuEnzegE-qoVvdArzKVXbjsKKQQ0QfqMO80iAc/w640-h480/PXL_20210307_135604978.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>Adding two risers together creates an ideal platform if we want to build up the Underhive even further.

Here in the UK, Lockdown and Tiers 1,2,3 & 4 have had a detrimental effect in our corner of the Underhive. Rob and I have had very little opportunity to get a game in last year and because of this my motivation has plummeted when it comes to painting. The release of the new Escher Codex called the Book of Blades hasn't helped (it's crap!), especially when it invalidated several models in my Voodoo Dolls. Add to this that Blogger decided to change its interface (what used to take me 5 minutes to upload photos from my phone is now taking 30 minutes.....I'm sure I'll get used to it but I can't help thinking that this is change for change's sake rather than anything beneficial). This has been the reason behind my lack of posts recently.</p><p>Hopefully, things will improve this year, but until Blogger makes its interface more mobile friendly, my posts will be noticeably less than the beginning of last year.</p><p>Enough of the moaning, What can I do to motivate myself?</p><p>"I know, terrain! We likes terrain"</p><p>"Hmm but I have more than enough terrain."</p><p>"How about a terrain backdrop that fits inside that lightbox you never use. Build one that allows you to fit a full gang in without models obscuring each other?"</p><p>"You sir, are a genius! Lets knock something together."</p><p>Don't worry, Lockdown hasn't sent me mad....I've been talking to myself for years 😊 </p><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEG4ZKqVwVSVVNlXa4_27d5FLEc1_7Bl8omkZw_eSq7tSA3Q9_tmOrY0ASZ_nEIQodGDGyjunRtkZZtRF3Qu3Am0phTcmQLTMsITfKLlM9SijLgOCWFihKIA0cHd-nAAyvEV8WdptH3HQ/s3547/PXL_20210116_114516477%257E2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3547" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEG4ZKqVwVSVVNlXa4_27d5FLEc1_7Bl8omkZw_eSq7tSA3Q9_tmOrY0ASZ_nEIQodGDGyjunRtkZZtRF3Qu3Am0phTcmQLTMsITfKLlM9SijLgOCWFihKIA0cHd-nAAyvEV8WdptH3HQ/w546-h640/PXL_20210116_114516477%257E2.jpg" width="546" /></a></div><br /><p>Because this will live inside my lightbox I didn't need to worry about building something that looked ok from 360 degrees.

Greetings Hivers!<br />
With Lockdown restrictions eased, life is returning to 'normal' in the district of Rockridge. Eager to embark on our next adventure, we've completed the work on our next set of adversaries....the four Coarsemen of Rockridge.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><u>CEREBERAX</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That the Coarseman known as Cereberax has undergone extensive surgical procedures is evident for all to see, what isn't known however, is if this procedure was some horrific experiment or an attempt to stabilise the mutant's deformities....only the madman that created him knows for sure.</div>

<br />
Cereberax is armed with a Heavy Stubber and Heavy Rockdrill. His excessive bulk (counts as Mesh Armour) grants him a 5+ save against all attacks.<br />
His hatred towards the Marionettes means that the Coarseman must move toward any visible Renegade Ad-Mech fighter and may target them without a cool check if he wishes.<br />

<b><u>POTAMUS</u></b><br />
Originating from the Sump Swamps of Rockridge, Potamus was perfectly suited to the environment until the Voodoo Dolls of House Escher drove him out. Now he has found sanctuary in the Badlands with the rest of the Coarsemen.<br />

<br />
Originally I was going to give him psychic powers, but because he's effectively an NPC I wanted him to be easy to use to speed up our games (the rules for psychic powers in Necromunda are laborious at best...or downright crap in reality) so his 'psychic power' became a Balefire Thrower and his tentacles count as a Tenebrous Scourge. Like all Coarsemen, Potamus' excessive Bulk counts as Mesh Armour. His hatred of the Voodoo Dolls, means that the Coarseman will move towards any visible Escher fighter and may target them without a cool check if he wishes.<br />

<b><u>SIRENMAW</u></b><br />
Sirenmaw is a product of the Goliath's Amneo-Vats. Most Goliaths begin life as tiny Zygotes floating in nutrient tanks. These fertilised cells are created using a poorly-understood method that combines cloning and gene-smithing. The process is not without mishaps and sometimes the embryo grows into something that bares little relation to their kin. Sirenmaw was one such creature. How such a creature could escape and flee downhive to the Badlands is shrouded in secrecy, but escape he did.<br />

Sirenmaw is armed with a Butcher's Cleaver and his screaming maws count as a Neural Flayer. His excessive bulk (counts as Mesh Armour) grants him a 5+ save against all attacks.<br />
His hatred towards the Goliaths means that the Coarseman must move toward any visible Goliath fighter and may target them without a cool check if he wishes.<br />

<b><u>RHINOX</u></b><br />
Rhinox lived a relatively simple life on the outskirts of Payne's Labyrinth. The hulking mutant was a benign creature that scraped out a living labouring for miners and excavation teams. The miners cared little for his deformities in the dark confines of the tunnels and most miners are prone to the odd mutation themselves. Unfortunately for Rhinox, not all Underhivers are as tolerant.<br />
Abel Cankerson of the Brotherhood of the Cleansing Flame was one such individual. The Cawdor leader had designs on Payne's Labyrinth and once he laid eyes on Rhinox he found the perfect excuse. It was during the massacre of the miners by the Cawdor that Rhinox discovered it was much easier to smash his way through flesh and bone than it was through compacted rubble and plascrete. The Coarseman fled into the Badlands vowing to return one day and make the Cawdor pay.<br />

<b><u>In-Game use</u></b><br />
The Coarsemen and their Mutant followers all have a card to represent them. These cards are shuffled into a pack and every time a 1 is rolled for a Priority roll a card is drawn. A d8 is rolled to determine which central area of the battlefield the unit is deployed in and then the unit scatters 2d6 to determine their final location.<br />
After both gangs have completed their actions, each unit that arrives will move towards the nearest ganger and either shoot or charge if in range unless the unit suffers from hatred.<br />

Greetings Hivers!<br />
I finally managed to lift myself from my Lockdown ennui and finish the last champion for my Renegade Ad-Mech gang, the Marionettes.<br />
Eighteen months ago (yes it's been that long....blush) this was how the champion looked. He was a bit of a rush job at the time because I was trying to get him finished quickly for <a href="https://steppingbetweengames.com/" target="_blank">Rory's</a> annual Squaduary challenge. Of course me being me, I was soon distracted by something else and I missed the deadline a bit 😉.<br />
As luck would have it GW released a couple of Necromunda supplements that added a few more weapons to the game. One of the these was the Arc Rifle (can't get more Ad-Mech than that!) so I ripped off the Plasma gun to give him a more fitting weapon.<br />
I liked the idea of a champion skittering about on slender limbs giving him a sort of spider/centaur feel but the model looked a little too static, so I decided to add more movement to his legs. Basically I ripped him apart and rebuilt him and here is what I ended up with.....<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><b><u>RH-03-TUS</u></b><br />
As you can see he's changed quite a bit. The head swap is probably the most noticeable.<br />

His face was a bit of a bugger to paint. It is so small and intricate that it isn't a natural focal point, so I added a limited jade glow to it in attempt to draw the eye to it. I'm not convinced it works that well but I like the effect and overall I'm happy with how Rhoetus came out.<br />

I was hoping this would be the final model for my Renegade Mech gang but after playing many games with them, both Rob and I realised that the gang was too short on numbers to survive one of our 'Necromunda adventures'. They're great for one off skirmishes but as soon as they fought a battle their lack of numbers meant that they struggled to compete once their numbers had dwindled.<br />
<br />
I've managed to fit in another two gangers, which are built and already for an undercoat (if it ever stops raining!). So the final picture of the Marionettes will have to wait until I've finished them.<br />
<br />

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, Zenith rose to his feet, casually patting himself down to extinguish the flames that had engulfed him.<br />
"Is that all you have tin man? I had worse burns on my first day in the forge." Mocked the Goliath.<br />
The Princeps activated his power axe by way of reply.<br />
"That's a real pretty axe you have there, think I'll keep it for myself and sell the rest of you for scrap tin man."<br />
Zenith raised his bolter and fired two shots at the Mech Champion.<br />
The first round tore into the Princeps' arm and his power axe dropped listlessly by his side, the second blew chunks from the coolant tank as the Mech Champion dived for cover.<br />

Zenith leapt over the pipe work to follow up his attack.<br />
"You're quick tin man, I'll give you that. Now let's see if you can fight as well as you move."<br />

"Time to die tin man." said Zenith with a grin.<br />
As the Goliath carefully took aim once more with his boltgun, the Princeps' Grapplehawk dropped silently from the overhead pipework.<br />

As one, the Grapplehawk and Mech Champion struck. The Princeps sliced through Zenith's wrist with his power axe and the Goliath's bolter fell to the floor, his hand still twitching upon its grip. At the same time the Grapplehawk clamped on to Zenith's left arm, it's fangs biting deep, severing his nerves and several of his fingers.<br />
"I will not yield tin man!" Screamed Zenith into the Mech Champions face as the Princeps plunged his Shock Stave into the Goliath rending him unconscious.<br />

Zenith awoke strapped to a gurney. Before him floated a Medicae unit, the likes of which he could never imagine in his wildest nightmare.<br />
"I'll tell you nothing tin man" spat Zenith. "I am born of the Forge and you will not break me!"<br />
Another burst of binary static, no doubt aimed at the Medicae unit, before the Mech Champion turned to face the Goliath.<br />
In broken Low Gothic the Princeps addressed the Goliath for the first time.<br />
"Break you? we're not here to break you Goliath. We're here to fix you."<br />

Greetings Hivers!<br />
I've managed to get another three models built and painted for my renegade Ad-Mech gang so I thought I'd show them off.<br />
<br />
<b><u>SH-41-T4N</u></b><br />

The first of my Champions is SH-41-T4N is armed with a power axe, hand flamer and a Shock Stave. If he gets into combat he can be a real handful but more often than not he's more of a distraction.<br />

The cog teeth (the Bloodied Cog) are hand painted and were a right pain to paint. I felt the model needed it though to add a little colour and highlight the fact that he's a champion.<br />

I still enjoyed painting him though and feel that the cogs were worth the effort.<br />

His pose makes him a bit of a bugger to photograph but he does look good in the Underhive.<br />

The Grapplehawk is a pet from the Book of Judgement. It's described as a Cyber Engineered Xenos Familiar. As soon as I saw it I thought it would fit perfectly in my renegade Mech and immediately set about building one.<br />

It's probably a bit bigger than it's supposed to be, but being of Xenos origin, I thought that would give me some leeway with the size.<br />
I really enjoyed raiding my bits box (and Rob's bit box) to build this and as simple as it looks this is its third build! The paint job is a bit rushed but I already have other projects beckoning for my time so it will have to do.<br />

The wings came from a Tyranid Gargoyle. I cut away the arms and replaced them with some piston arms from the Dark Eldar Talos kit to make them more mechanical. The body, head and tail came from a Flesh and Metal Maulifaux Hound (cheers Rob). I chopped it up, reversed the tail and then extended the neck to make it more xenos looking. I added a pair of Sicarian Ruststalker legs with the feet removed and replaced them with clamps from the Dark Eldar Talos kit.<br />

The more I look at this photo, the more I think I need to go back and retouch it. Perhaps it'll see a bit more love when I paint the final gang champion 😉<br />

<b><u>Epilogue</u></b><br />
Zenith opened his eyes. A coldness permeated his body and the memory of something important floated tantalisingly beyond his reach. His brow furrowed in concentration as he attempted to grasp the memory, but it immediately swam away, lost forever to his scrutiny.<br />
"He is complete?" enquired SH-41-T4N<br />
"Affirmative." Replied AFR-1-T. "He had remarkably high acuity for a Goliath. I have augmented his abilities, he will make a fine support unit."<br />
SH-41-T4N nodded.<br />
"Come ZEN-1-TH. We have work to do"<br />

These were a real struggle for me to paint. Not particularly the models as the way I started painting. All the colours were applied over a wyldwood contrast paint and in hindsight this was far to dark for all the pale flesh and white.<br />

The Skintights are my latest creation born from a need to paint some of my collection before I buy any more models and having lots of spare time on my hands. Although I'm back to work now I'm so glad I spent my time getting these girls done as they may well have lingered in my hobby desk for quite some time. Not sure how much table time they will receive and I'm still to build a satisfactory background for them. The models are exquisite in detail and I dont think I've gone half way to realy getting the most from them partly due to my artistic limits and part due to having seen what Gary acomplished with the voodoo dolls. I am however extremely happy with how they look maybe they can make guest appearances in our games in the near future .</div>

<br />
Over the years my collection has grown quite substantially, to the point where I can divide it into three distinct parts. Firstly there are what we might call the normal stuff; marines, vehicles, dreadnoughts etc, the mortal members of the warband if you will. Secondly, warmachines, gifted to Sladiç in pacts made with Hellforges. Finally, when blood flows in quantities enough to warrant the attention of Khorne himself, daemons of the Blood God come to partake of the slaughter. So now, at least in my background, The Red Tide comes in three waves. Today, we'll have a look at the first and foremost of Sladiç' followers, The Skull Wave.<br />
<br />
The core of The Red Tide are the champions and warriors who followed Sladiç into rebellion. All are wholly dedicated to Khorne and revel in the slaughter and killing that such dedication brings.<br />
As mentioned previously, Sladiç does recognize that even his best warriors cannot overcome every enemy arrayed before them by feat of arms alone. To that end there are elements of the Skull Wave that provide some much needed ranged support, weakening or eliminating enemy units which would interfere with the overall strategy and providing time for the elite of the Wave to be unleashed at the proper moment.<br />

Of course, the ultimate worship of Khorne comes when the blood of the enemy flows as a result of meeting him in close combat and as such the bulk of the Wave is composed of warriors who prefer to close and fight the enemy with axe and sword.<br />

The Skull Wave is my go to force selection for most games. Sometimes elements from the other two waves will see some action but I tend to keep them separate. Up next, The Iron Wave.</div>
