[WFB] A Tale of RGMW Gamers Summary - Month 3

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (More info?)

Sorry this has been a (very) long time coming; hopefully I'll be a bit
more organised next month. I'll write up my own month 4 purchases
(which I'll keep doing in pounds for simplicity, even though I no
longer have access to a pound symbol) later and post them in the next
week or two (hopefully). As an aside, I never heard back from Guy
Haley on the White Dwarf idea, so I think we'll have to assume that
that won't come to anything. It's a shame, but at least I tried.
Anyway, onto the long-awaited summary:

Well, things seem to have lost a bit of steam on the Tale recently, so
I'll give it a bit of a boost here. This is where I got to last time:

Kourzan of Har Ganeth, Dark Elf Noble: General. Great weapon, heavy
armour, Sea Dragon Cloak.
Melkhen the Black, Dark Elf Noble: Battle Standard Bearer (The Hydra
Banner). Hand weapon, heavy armour.
Hekate, Dark Elf Sorceress: Level 2. Dispel Magic Scroll, Seal of
Ghrond, hand weapon, Dark Steed.

30 Dark Elf Warriors: Spear, hand weapon, light armour, shield.
Champion, standard, musician.
16 Dark Elf Warriors: Repeater crossbow, hand weapon, light armour.

Mengil Manhide: Great weapon, repeater crossbow pistol, hand weapon,
heavy armour.
9 Manflayers: Great weapon, repeater crossbow, hand weapon, heavy
armour.

Reaper bolt thrower: 2 crew with hand weapons and light armour.

Total: 1,380pts
Saved: £0.50

With months ticking by I've decided to go for a very un-GW approach
and plan what I can afford over the next few months, trying for
complete units wherever possible. With that in mind, I'll take 5 Dark
Riders this month (5 pounds each) - I still want a sixth for the unit,
but at least I'll have some fast cavalry, a bit of extra firepower and
something for my Sorceress to hide in to boot. So, at the end of month
4 I have:

Kourzan of Har Ganeth, Dark Elf Noble: General. Great weapon, heavy
armour, Sea Dragon Cloak.
Melkhen the Black, Dark Elf Noble: Battle Standard Bearer (The Hydra
Banner). Hand weapon, heavy armour.
Hekate, Dark Elf Sorceress: Level 2. Dispel Magic Scroll, Seal of
Ghrond, hand weapon, Dark Steed.

30 Dark Elf Warriors: Spear, hand weapon, light armour, shield.
Champion, standard, musician.
16 Dark Elf Warriors: Repeater crossbow, hand weapon, light armour.
5 Dark Riders: Spears, repeater crossbows

Mengil Manhide: Great weapon, repeater crossbow pistol, hand weapon,
heavy armour.
9 Manflayers: Great weapon, repeater crossbow, hand weapon, heavy
armour.

Reaper bolt thrower: 2 crew with hand weapons and light armour.

Tim:
I started the 40k "month 3 summary/call for month 4 post" last month, but
it's fallen all the way off my newsreader already. Here's the Google link
for it (and I don't know if this will get all broken up or not):

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.games.miniatures.warhammer/browse_frm/thread/be3e0d768ed8d56f/f39046c939bc74a8?q=rgmw+ken+coble&rnum=1#f39046c939bc74a8

and if that's irretrieveably broken, you can Google for the title "Tale of
RGMW Gamers: Month 3 summary, call for Month 4 lists "

Looking at my records, I think we were missing your month 4 and smithdoerr's
sticky Tyranids month 3 and 4. Here's the last summary I had for you, as of
the end of Month 3:

Tim/Helicon One: Daemonhunters
Inquisitor Lord: Plasma pistol.
Retinue - 3 Warrior Henchmen: Hellguns, targeters, frag & krak grenades.
3 Death Cult Assassins
10 Storm Troopers: Flamer.
-transport: Rhino w/ Hunter-killer missile
5 Storm Troopers: 2 meltaguns
7 Grey Knights: Incinerator. Justicar.
Models in Army: 30
Total: 640 pts
Saved: £6

Hope that helps. I figure Philip will make the 'official' month 4
summary/call for month 5 in a few days or so.

You're right, it is. And for the Dark Elves one purchase is mandated
by the impending price rise (as I'm still going by UK prices) - the
repeater bolt thrower will be affected, so I need to buy the remaining
one now before the price goes up later in the month. That leaves me 15
pounds to play around with. As I want complete units where possible
I'll add a sixth Dark Rider to complete that unit. That could leave me
10 pounds to put towards next month's Executioners, but I think the
command group (currently 7 pounds) might also be affected by the price
rise, so now seems the right time to buy that as well. Therefore:

Month 5

Dark Rider
Executioner Draich-master, Standard Bearer and Musician
Reaper Bolt Thrower

Saved: 3.50 pounds

Army to date:

Kourzan of Har Ganeth, Dark Elf Noble: General. Great weapon, heavy
armour, Sea Dragon Cloak.
Melkhen the Black, Dark Elf Noble: Battle Standard Bearer (The Hydra
Banner). Hand weapon, heavy armour.
Hekate, Dark Elf Sorceress: Level 2. Dispel Magic Scroll, Seal of
Ghrond, hand weapon, Dark Steed.

30 Dark Elf Warriors: Spear, hand weapon, light armour, shield.
Champion, standard, musician.
16 Dark Elf Warriors: Repeater crossbow, hand weapon, light armour.
6 Dark Riders: Spear, repeater crossbow, hand weapon, light armour.
Horsemaster, standard bearer, musician.

Mengil Manhide: Great weapon, repeater crossbow pistol, hand weapon,
heavy armour.
9 Manflayers: Great weapon, repeater crossbow, hand weapon, heavy
armour.
3 Executioners: Draich-master, standard bearer, musician

2 Reaper bolt throwers: 2 crew with hand weapons and light armour.

Total: approx. 1,710pts
Saved: £0.50
