I was just on planning on playing the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game at AdeptiCon this year, but my friends Dean and Dragi were signed up for the Warhammer 40K Team Tournament (4-Players per team) event, and 2 of their team dropped out. So they asked if my Son and I would join them and play. So, it looks like I will be playing both MESBG and 40K at AdeptiCon. But holy crap, I have no army ready, at least not an updated to the latest edition army that is. So my Son will be playing my friend Dragi's Salamanders, and I will be playing my Raven Guard.
To get the ball rolling with updating my Raven Guard to the latest edition, I needed to start adding Primaris, as currently, I have none. I figured the best way to get a start would be to get the starter set "Dark Imperium". This box comes with a good start to what I would need for my Raven guard, and as a bonus, I get a good start on a Death Guard army as well.
The box set includes the following:
- Primaris Space Marines
- 1 Primaris Captain in Gravis Armour
- 2 Primaris Lieutenants - 1 w/Power Sword and 1 w/Auto Bolt Rifle
- 1 Ancient
- 2 - 5 Man Squads of Intercessors
- 1 - 3 Man Squad of Inceptors
- 1 - 5 Man Squad of Hellblasters
- Death Guard
- 1 Lord of Contagion
- 1 Noxious Blightbringer
- 1 Malignant Plaguecaster
- 7 Plague Marines - Including a Plague Champion
- 1 Foetid Bloat-Drone
- 20 Poxwalkers
I have to say, I am impressed with the new models and casts that came in this box. So looking forward to getting these painted up. Another thing I will be needing to do it rebase most of my Raven Guards as they are now required to be on larger bases.
I will have an army ready for battle before AdeptiCon, now I just need to practice and have fun.
