Chaos Rising


Hi I’m Pete.
I’m a hardcore tournament player in Finland.  When I was 10 years old and playing with the loyalist armies of Tau, Sisters of Battle, and Space Marines, I did not have friends to play. I started my  tournament career to satisfy my killing thirst. My first army was the Tau, then The Sisters of Battle, and then Space Marines. I met a friend that started corrupting me, and my Space Marines started to turn … When the corruption was final and there was no return, I made my first pure Chaos army: the World Eaters.

After playing against many Iron warriors at tournaments, it was my turn to shoot back! I started Iron Warriors in the year 2003, but my army was ruined after a few years by the new Codex. However, I made a deal with the dark gods. I will continue my army to the maximum. I have everything!

After I got all the options in the Chaos arsenal, I started waiting and was ready for the future.  I can play even if the new Codexes try to ruin the powers of Chaos. At some point, I got depressed because of the bluntness of the codex. The options that you had in the book were so dull that I wanted excitement. I started on a Cyber Iron Warriors themed Chaos demon army, and I had lots of good and fun games. But the army is difficult to play, and takes lots of time when testing a new unit for tournament gaming. Finally, after five or six years of suffering, the new Codex had arrived!

I have been trying to get in to the Finish ETC team, and I have been summoned for a secret tournament where all my skills will be tested. I was told to have my army list ready for the Champion of the tournament by 18.11.2011. I had tree weeks time to prepare. But I was tested by the dark gods. I had a lot of stress and I fell from the mental punishment. I was in a week long fever, and I felt like shit when I got angry. I had to start the testing. I had one week left and I was in bad shape. For three days I tried to think of a list that will bring Chaos back to its glory. I tested armies like a madman and I think I have done it. So here is the list:

The Beginning.


Hi I’m Pete and I had a dream of starting my own blog. First problem is I don’t know how to make my own blog. My girlfriend, Marianne, who is the photographer with a super camera helped me to start my own blog from the BlogSpot. I have been a huge fan of Warhammer 40k and I have a big army of Iron Warriors and Chaos cyber demons. I also have a  Battlefleet Gotic Iron Warriors
Fleet. I love my Iron Warriors, so at some point I’m going to post pictures of my armies here for all to see.

I also do painting jobs for people; they choose me because they like my specific style of painting. Ill have pictures of them too. I have been painting for 12 years, but I learned my style from the Imperial Armor model master class books. With it, I started to work more on  a realistic look for models. Light effects I learned by my self. I use all sort of paints which are available, as well as air brush techniques.

Pictures are from my iphone mostly but the painting jobs are taken with the Nikon D90 and different optics, so the pictures are high quality, as if you are seeing it in front of you in real life.

Tournaments are my thing and I try to go to as many as I can. Some people say I’m a good player.
I have good friends with nerves of steel that want to play with me. With my friendly games so many things would not have been possible to try. I’m not the normal calculating math hammer player. I play the Sun Tzu Art of War style. The game starts before you start putting down your models. It’s all in the feel and how the opponent reacts when you show your army list. If you get him confused and he doesn’t know how to deal with some problem you are the winner. I have played many games and some times lady luck is not on your side, even if you are a strategic genius.

Here is some pictures from my Iron Warriors diorama:
