After Action Report: Discordia at Promethium Tank

The second event I attended while on holiday in England was Discordia Part 1 organised by @fifty_painting in London. The narrative was set during the last day of the Siege of Terra when time and space begin to unravel. I brought a list that relied heavily on Destroyers led by Dominion Zephon and two more Moritats to represent the High Host of the Blood Angels. I just about managed to finish my army the night before leaving!

Pict 1614: Blood Angels Destroyers

Pict 1615: Horus Heresy Blood Angels Army for Discordia

Pict 1616: Horus Heresy Blood Angels Army for Discordia

Pict 1617: Horus Heresy Blood Angels Army for Discordia

Pict 1618: Horus Heresy Blood Angels Army for Discordia

Again, first up have to be some pictures of the army I brought along to the event. Seeing the army finished up like this is alwas such good feeling!

Pict 1619: Blood Angels Assault Destroyers and Moritat

One big squad I wanted to play are these Assault Destroyers and the Moritat with Volkite Serpentas and a Jumppack, that I had built back in August 2023. They did quite well once they were in combat, but usually they got shot to pieces before getting there. Nevertheless I love the unit and I look forward to trying them out in the upcoming edition!

Pict 1620: Angel's Tears with Grenade Launchers

The last missing piece to really make my Destroyer army into the Blood Angels High Host were these Angel's Tears. I love the sculpts and the way the steel contrasts with the gold, especially on the helmets. They really did a number on some militia squads during my games but failed to do much against anything with power armour. Still, I'm super happy to have them done and would like to get some more!

Pict 1621: Blood Angels Rapier Destroyers (WIP)

Originally I had written a list that included these Laser Destroyer Rapiers. But they did not move past the basecoating stage of the painting process. I plan to finish them next – hopefully before the next edition drops and I will inevitably be distracted by shiny new things.

Pict 1622: My Rhino's ramming attack ending an opposing Contemptor Dreadnought

I replaced the Rapiers with five Melta armed Tactical Support Marines in a Rhino. While they did a bit of work, they should go back to target practive (or I should use other dice...). They were part of one of the best moments during the whole weekend when the emty Rhino had nothing better to do and rammed into @jpeg_minis's Contemptor Dreadnought. Of course this initially resulted in no wounds, but the Contemptor decided to go for the Death or Glory reaction but failed the 50/50 roll to imobilise or destroy the Rhino and subsequently was removed as a casualty! That Rhino certainly pulled its weight that game!

Pict 1623: Primus Medicae by DivergingRealm, favourite army prize

I did not win any games over the course of the weekend, which I found quite fitting for the narrative – we were simply trying to buy Sanguinius some time against Horus and did not care for any other objective! My army was, however, voted by the other players as 'the one you would most like to take home with you'! The prize is this beautiful Primus Medicae sculpted by DivergingRealm and printed by Gator 3D Printing, who provided prize support for the event. I plan to paint the Marine on the base as a Veteran and gave him one of the Blood Angels Mk IV helmets from ForgeWorld. Again, I'm really looking forward to painting this one!
