Battlefield Birmingham 2012

This weekend I went to the Inaugural Battlefield Birmingham 40K tournament, it was the first tournament I have entered and it was good fun.
I took my Chaos Daemons mono God Tzeentch themed list and ended up 27th out of 38 with 2:2:1 (Win Loss Draw) ratio.
The mixture of list was pretty good although there were a lot of Grey Knights and some nasty spam lists.

I played:

1st: Orks, this was a balanced Kan wall list, it was a pretty brutal game that almost ended in a double KO although I just managed to scrape the win on the last turn.

2nd: Grey Knights, this was a Crowe Purifier list backed up by 3 Psyfleman dreads and a Vindicare assassin, only the assassin survived.
From this game I learnt not to kill Crowe in CC as his sacrifice power is extra nasty against Daemons.

3rd: Grey Knights, this was a Coteaz razorback spam list, less said about this game the better, I lost quite badly.

4th: Blood Angels, this was a heavy mech list taking advantage of the assault squad discount, unfortunately fateweaver screwed me over which ruined my plan, otherwise i think i would have done better in this one.

5th: Orks, this was standard Battlewagons with Ghaz, it was a draw although it could of gone either way on the last turn.

My army was also nominated for best painted and came 3rd overall which I was quite pleased about.

Grey Knights Terminator Colour Scheme

So now my Daemon army has been completed in looking to start a new project.
I have wanted to do a shooty Terminator list for a while but have not been impressed by the shooting options available with either a Deathwing or Loganwing army so I am going to use the Grey Knight codex and do all Terminators with Mordrak as HQ.
I am really looking forward to modelling and painting up the Ghost Knights as i have a good idea of what they will look like in my mind already.
My main colour scheme will not be the traditional Grey Knight colour scheme but use a simlar palete of colours.


The armour is complete on this bar a few details and extreme highlights, I am however a little stuck on how to paint the Bolter and Halberd.
