Battle Report: 1,750 Team Tournament

Battle Report: ZahndrekhSaturday a friend and I went to a team tournament, it was 1750 points per player. Yes, you read that right. Per player, meaning 3500 point teams, 3500 vs 3500. The games were long, but really bad-ass and fun. It was overall a really enjoyable day and I’m glad we went.

Spectre Studio Character Video Battle Report: Apocolypse!

Spectre Studio Video Battle ReportWell I finally was able to get on of our Studio BatRep with yours truly Thor into this video battle report. The members of our FLGS were intent on pushing Imperial Armor Forgeworld models into our upcoming tournaments so the Apocalypse idea for our regular Wednesday was a great format to showcase them. Amberclad87 then thought filming this fight would be very cool so we went for it and did.

Battle Report: Spectre Studio “New” Character

This is a Spectre Studio’s different style video Battle Report by Spectre Senence. What’s the change? Well I have played this hobby awhile and I enjoy playing with a fun personality into my armies. This stems from decades as a Dungeon Master. So I decided I want to improve the entertaining value of Spectre Studio’s battle reports without sacrificing too much content so they hold no tactica value. So the attempt is to infused some of my crazy concepts into the armies I play while filming these BatReps.

Spectre Studio: Video BatRep Episode 2 (Video)

Spectre Senence: Video BatRepThis is Spectre Studio 2nd BatRep. Spectre Wile takes the lead role with the Sisters of Battle. It’s a large fight consisting of 2,000 points a side which we agreed to because it showcases one of our favorite players at CrossRoad Games, Steve “Hippie” McKenna. Steve does an awesome job in building and painting his army [he regularly wins painting competitions]. Steve will be playing his Chaos Daemons and this report features one of the tables he created for the “Standish Standoff” in 2011.

Necrons vs Sisters of Battle

necronsThis Wednesday was the second week of the campaign with my Necrons, the idea was that the Xenos invaders were attempted to gain access to the imperial fortress. So, as you might guess the mission is incredibly difficult for xenos players. Three objectives are placed on the Imperials board edge, and as long as they hold more than the xenos player, they win. This allowed the imperials to just throw units at the xenos, forcing you to slow down and deal with them.

Spectre Studio BatRep Episode 1 Part 2 – 5

Spectre Studio’s continued parts to Episode 1 fight between Spectre Senence’s Tyranids of Hive Fleet Wraith and Spectre Foreman’s Space Marines of Death Spectres. The video are in parts to follow the action and lengthy in that content. The intent to to see how the actions unfolds if there are particular units you like or don’t understand and it showcases the effected rolls. For me personally it’s my debated argument with other Tyranid players fielding a Venomthorpe. Although Spectre Foreman rolls pretty poorly those that he was accurate on were diminished by this elite choice.

Quick Report: Campaign Week #2

Campaign: Ass KickingAs Luke mentioned recently, we began a campaign at our FLGS. In short it’s very much Battle for Macragge in nature where we square off all Xenos against all Imperial players. Campaigns have always been a high point for the shop and everyone was looking forward to this.

Spectre Studio’s 1st Video Battle Report

Spectre Senence: Video Battle ReportHey this is Spectre Senence here. I have been playing 40K since the 2nd edition and dabbled in many of GW side games like Space Hulk, Man o’ War, Blood Bowl & many others. I’m also a storyteller, having finally ended a 20+ year campaign as a Dungeon Master. I do play other games such as War Machine & Malifauex but with full-time work, three kids and a fourth on the way, there isn’t enough hours in the day. So GW as being the easiest to get a game in takes my time.

Necrons vs Space Marines

Necrons vs Space MarinesWednesday night was the beginning of a Xenos vs Imperium campaign. Starting off at 1250, and building up to a total of 2000 I believe. The real idea is to try and build a modular list, or so Thor says. I have always just built the best list I could at each point level though and gone from there.

Battle Report: Chaos vs Necrons

Battle Report: Chaos vs NecronsIt’s been three weeks since I got a game in. I was starting to go through withdrawal. Last night I played against Necrons with Disciples of Twilight, my Chaos force.
