TORKS

Posted on December 17, 2012 12:05 am by Stealthy Stealth

The past few months I have been playing Tau with Ork allies. I refer to this army as the TORKS. This all started with the 2nd Standish Standoff and the change to Sixth Ed. Read more... (518 words, 6 images, estimated 2:04 mins reading time)

The Hall Of Heroes: 2k No-Holds-Barred Warhammer 40k Tournament

Posted on November 29, 2012 12:00 pm by ShotDownMind

Hardcore Warhammer40k In Sparks, Nevada

Hello and Happy Howlidays everyone! For me Warhammer 40k Tournaments each are like a good book – I get deeply engrossed within each one and then BAM its all over and I have a hangover for a week. That means last week in addition to stuffing myself full of Thanksgiving goodness I was also in the serious process of recovering from the Wolfbrothers’ latest incursion into California at the end of the year Contest of Champions. Next week I will be deeply involved with getting ready for and competing in the next installment of our local no-holds-barred “Hall Of Heroes” escalation Tournament series! Read more...

Kamui’s Workbench-Slacking on the pictures!

Posted on April 9, 2012 09:14 am by Kamui

Hello all,

Here’s my second week without pictures to update you on my progress. Things have been hectic, and I’ve been spending most of my weekends out of town the last few weeks. For now I’ll catch you up on my progress and try to post pictures later on. Read more... (666 words, 1 image, estimated 2:40 mins reading time)

Blood Bowl: Chaos it is

Posted on March 15, 2012 09:27 am by Thor

As I mentioned recently we’re trying to drum up interest for Blood Bowl at my FLGS. I had originally decided to do an Orc team because it’s easy to proxy but then I realized I could do a Chaos team easily too since I use Beastmen for my Chaos Marines’ Lesser Daemons. So, change of plans and here’s my initial roster. Read more... (200 words, 1 image, estimated 48 secs reading time)

Blood Bowl: My First Team – Sort of

Posted on March 1, 2012 06:30 am by Thor

At my FLGS we are trying to get some interest in running a short Blood Bowl season. There’s only a handful of us who know the game but I’m hoping those who don’t will be interested in checking it out and giving it a shot. I’m not sure when we’ll actually begin but I wanted to get a team ready and I already know it will be Orcs. I don’t actually own any Blood Bowl teams and the easiest thing I can proxy in is my 40K Orks as an Orc team. Read more... (315 words, 1 image, estimated 1:16 mins reading time)

What should I do?

Posted on October 20, 2011 07:00 am by Stealthy Stealth

The local guys are throwing a semi big one day fluff tournament. Painting scores and fluff are big. So I will be bringing my Mek Ork list. This has the best paint and the most conversion work out of any of my armies. I will put some photos up in the next week. This is the list. Read more...

Global vs. Local: Why you should meta-game your local environment

Posted on June 5, 2011 02:14 am by EvantheNoob

I’ve come to a realization that blogs such as 3++, Yes The Truth Hurts, and forums such as DakkaDakka or Warseer will only get you so far when it comes to list builidng. Yes, I understand the concepts of math-hammer, and I understand the general themes of 5th edition (namely that mech is king). Read more... (688 words, 1 image, estimated 2:45 mins reading time)

April Tournament: Tau Test List Version 2

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

This has grown out of my previous incarnation of my list as an attempt to get more delaying units and more plasma shots in my army. While still not an “internet approved” list, it is alot better for our local meta than the first list I think. Read more... (203 words, estimated 49 secs reading time)

April Tournament Test List: 2000 Point Tau

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

This 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...

Test List: 2K of Fate’s Angels

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

April 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. Always loved the genetically enhanced super soldiers but until recently I was just unsure what I wanted to do with them. Read more... (221 words, 1 image, estimated 53 secs reading time)

Quick Report & Marine List Idea

Posted on March 17, 2011 09:38 am by Thor

After the beating I took at Battle for the Burbs I’ve decided to run my Marines for the 1,750 tournament this Saturday at my FLGS. My Orks are still sobbing in their fungus beer. I wanted to test out a list I ran once previous. It has a ton of fire support with some assault elements in the form of Assault Marines, Assault Terminators and Shrike. Read more...

Ork Tournament List and Quick Report

Posted on March 3, 2011 09:21 am by Thor

March 12th is a tournament in Watertown, Massachusetts being held by the Dorkamorka group called Battle for the Burbs. It’s a 1,750 tournament with 30 players, the biggest tournament I’ve attended. The event is heavily comped, I’ll save you all from the details, and I’ll be bringing along my Orks for it. I’ve devised a few lists but I think I’ll end up going with this one. It’s a bit different than my usual lists but still the same style. Read more... (729 words, 1 image, estimated 2:55 mins reading time)

Army List: Fate’s Angels at 2,000

Posted on February 3, 2011 10:55 am by Thor

Yesterday was supposed to be the 4th week in our campaign at the LGS but we were snowed out. So, next week we’ll pick up where we left off and that’s a 2,000pt game. Since the prior week was 1,850 I decided to build off that army list with some tweaks. Like the last one, this is a bit of an experiment. The experimental aspect is the Ironclad on foot. In the past I’ve generally run two of these both in Pods along with an empty Pod to get both Ironclads down on turn #1. I’ve had mixed success with this and so I’m always trying something different. Here’s the list: Read more... (283 words, 1 image, estimated 1:08 mins reading time)

Army List: 1,850 With Shrike

Posted on January 25, 2011 08:23 am by Thor

To bring some of you up to speed if you don’t read here regularly. Lately I’ve been playing with Shrike and have really enjoyed what he offers to my army. I’ve been toying around with different lists just to feel things out. Right now I’m not after the most super-competitive list. I’m playing, experimenting and learning. So, bear that in mind with the below list. First up, here’s the list: Read more... (516 words, 1 image, estimated 2:04 mins reading time)

Ork List: 1K Speedmek for Team Game

Posted on January 8, 2011 09:00 am by Thor

Next week for the campaign at the LGS we’ll be doing a team game with each player fielding a 1K list. I’ll be playing my Ork army and here’s my drafted list: Read more... (258 words, 1 image, estimated 1:02 mins reading time)
