Schools out! let the lessons in Jim+D=Bag begin!!!!

Alright hobbyist it is has been awhile but your friendly neighborhood bisons are back. and for this edition I James P. Magee bring to you sad and terrible news. I am going the way of the Dark side. As I am sure none of you know save Jay I am traditionally a Grey Knight player. You know back in the day when I first got into 40k when the Grey Knight where just part of the Demon-hunter codex. However now we have our own extremely awesome codex I have made my fluffy all terminator list(your welcome Jay) but however being of the New era of Grey Knights I do have much love for power armor rocking brothers. So With that I introduce Project Dark Side:

So here  is the list hate all you want

                                                 2 Venerable Dreadnoughts

                                                 and psybolt ammunition
                                                 
                                                  1850 cheese on the dot.

And it is smelly!

So kids before you bust out the stakes and get ready to burn me alive let me at least give you a little fluff justification for the list with a little hobby love as well. What can I say I can't be all cheese.

So when I started making the list I wanted to find a use for my Forge World Dreads so hence the venerables in the list. I have had these models since 2006 and haven't used them in a game once! That folks is heresy!

The Psykers are gonna be a fun hobby project for me. Not only do I get to make Empire Flagellants into crazy psykers that are being used by the Inquisition as human batteries. But I also get to make a Rhino into a sweet new psyker tank! Because for those of you who do not know what these Psykers are capable of. The Psychic shooting attack starts off as a Str 3 AP - shot 36 in Rng Assault 1 large blast. However, you add one to the Str and take one off the AP for each Psyker you add to the squad. So I have Str. 10 AP 1 shots coming out the tops of those rhinos! So not missing a chance to be awesome at my hobby I decided if it is gonna shoot like a tank it best look like a tank lol.

The Design for the Rhino is gonna be something akin to a giant psychic hood turret. In the middle of the Psychic hood suspended by all sorts of psychic lightning and what not is gonna be a Psyker. Fluff wise this poor soul is gonna be the unlucky dreg that gets to be the focus for the bound psykers in the rhino.

Now fluff wise these Hellions as I am calling them. Were designed by Lord Coteaz as a means of being able to quickly get to and cut off Demonic reinforcements from translating into the material plane.  They were never designed to be a main battle tank. However, when seeking out a cabal of nurgle worshipers on the planet Garris 4-19 the massive undead hordes that began assaulting Coteaz's compound threatened to overrun them. This is when Inquisitor Locheart a pupil of Coteaz suggested that they turn the awesome psychic  might of the Hellions from general disruption to actual focused blasts. What ensued was a massive success, however the psyco-crystalline conduits that bind the psykers to a single consciousness were never designed to handle the amount of energy that come from a blast. Designed rather to handle the constant streaming of power instead of focused surges. As a result as the day came to a close almost half of the Hellions Lord Coteaz had commissioned had  "burnt out" their psykers having succumbed to the perils of the warp and lay as withered corpses with blacked out eyes and gaping mouths. However the day was won and at no real loss to Coteaz the psykers were Rogues gathered from all over Fermosa and Coteaz had many more most of which were doomed to the black ships.  Now however they will serve their penance to the emperor as fuel for Coteaz's new and terrible weapons against the foes of the Emperor.

In fluff games I would like the Hellion to also have the option of using the Quake psychic power with a 24in range and Ld 10 as that is fluff wise what it is actually designed for. With the shooting attack being done at the Psyker's normal Ld of 8 to represent the enhanced risk of peril. Also in fluff games as they are rogue psykers unless they are joined by an Inquisitor I want them to scatter each turn for movement and maybe come up with a fun Madmen chart for them to roll on for what they do in the shooting and assault phases if outside the Rhino. You know for when people blow up the rhino they all start running to freedom! lol

Well guys that is what I have for you let me know what you think! Would love to see your guys Madmen Chart! until next time Ave Imperator!
