April Tournament: Tau Test List Version 2

Posted on March 31, 2011 10:54 am by EvantheNoob

Weekly Battle: March 30th – Purging Xenos

Posted on March 31, 2011 09:47 am by Thor

Battle: Fight ClubInstead of doing a full blown battle report I figured I’d chat a bit about the stuff I was trying out. I played against Tau last night and I brought Fate’s Angels, my Marines. Since I had redone Attack and Defend I wanted to test it out. In short, the idea is to grab the enemy’s deployment zone with more scoring units than he has in his zone and have more in your own than he has in yours.  Read more...

Posted on March 24, 2011 05:09 pm by EvantheNoob

TauThis will be a departure from my usual Tau list, as it hase become readily apparent that everyone has figured out how to absolutely own my poor fish-men. I’ve found that the mobility of recent 5th edition armies simply trumps my ability to shoot them as they close. So I’ve decided to go mobile myself. Here’s what I’m thinking.  Read more...

Weekly Battle Report: Fate’s Angels vs Blood Angels

Posted on March 24, 2011 09:34 am by Thor

Battle Report - Fight ClubAnother Wednesday night and another battle report. I decided to bring along a test list I was working on for a 2K tournament in April at the FLGS. I put the list up here. It’s built off what I brought for the 1,750 tournament last weekend, which did fairly well considering I wrote it and played it untested.  Read more...

Test List: 2K of Fate’s Angels

Posted on March 23, 2011 08:00 am by Thor

Fate's Angels - Test ListApril will be a 2K tournament at my FLGS and even though it’s a good five weeks out, I’m already working on some lists. The last tournament really infused me with enthusiasm I haven’t had with my Marines in quite some time.

Revelation: Click, Click, Boom!

Posted on March 22, 2011 12:00 pm by Thor

I’ve put up a lot of articles about just playing the game the way you want to. Talking about finding something that works for you, not what everyone else tells you to do. That all the advice in the world is worthless if you aren’t having a good time. Well, some times you need to heed your own advice.  Read more...

Battle Report: 1,750 FLGS Tournament

Posted on March 21, 2011 09:24 am by Thor

Battle Report - Crazy BabyThis past Saturday was the the monthly tournament at my FLGS. As the title states, it was 1,750 and we had a great showing of 17 players. Dave, who works there, plays when we have odd numbers so we had nine games going on for the day. I’ll dive right in and try and keep this short since I’m not a fan of a long-winded battle report and I imagine others share that sentiment.  Read more...
