Mission Idea #4: Attack and Defend
So far the missions I’ve written have been well received at the shop so I wanted to write up some more. This one is based off the 4th Edition mission Recon. If you’re not sure what I’m posting about, see Mission Idea #1: The Long Haul.
Weekend Wrap-up: Paint and Play
I had some stuff I wanted to post up over the week but for one reason or another it never happened. So, introducing the Weekend Wrapup, where I post random stuff from the week that I forgot about, wasn’t really worth posting on its own, or I just feel like tossing in.
August Tournament Results
Crossroad Games, the LGS I play at, was having a store anniversary this weekend with lots of stuff going on and one event was a 1,750 tournament for 40K. There was no entry fee and my plans allowed for me to attend so I headed down there yesterday.

Last minute change of plans means I’m able to attend the LGS anniversary 40K tournament. Heading down to the shop shortly to attend some festivities and get in some practice for tomorrow. I’m going to try and get a tournament wrap up posted on Monday.
Imperium vs Xenos Campaign Concludes
In hindsight I should have been posting about this as we were doing it, ah well. At the LGS over the past five weeks we’ve been doing a campaign that was the Imperium vs Xenos. Each week we’d have a scenario created by Dave, employee at the shop, and battle it out to gain points for our side. Our missions ranged from 2,250 games to Kill Team. The entire campaign was a blast and last night we wrapped up in brutal fashion.

Mission Idea #3: Target Priority
Here’s the final mission idea. I wanted to create three since our tournaments run three games. If you’re not sure what I’m posting about, see Mission Idea #1: The Long Haul.
August Tournament at Crossroad Games
The LGS is having an anniversary event this month and as such the usual tournament routine is axed. Instead, we’ll be doing a two day event. Here’s the info as posted on the Crossroad Games site:

Mission Idea #2: Warp Flux
My next mission idea I had is this. If you’re not sure what I’m posting about, see Mission Idea #1: The Long Haul.
Mission Idea #1: The Long Haul
When it comes to tournaments at the LGS I play at, we always end up playing the same missions over and over. There’s about six of them and they are recycled every month. They get mixed up a bit but still the same old ones we’ve played countless times. I know another player at the shop was working on some missions for the tournaments to use so I thought I’d join the cause. Here’s an idea for a tournament mission, feedback is welcomed.
July’s 1,850 Tournament Results
Another long and mentally tiring game of moving plastic models around a table and rolling dice. I didn’t fair poorly but I did not win the tournament and did not win any consolation prizes either, IE: best army, best sport and…there was another one. For the day I went 2-1, getting a massacre win, a minor loss and then a major win. Here’s the quick and dirty, oh and I was playing my Ork list that I mentioned here:
Today the 1,850 tournament at Crossroad Games commences at noon. Because of ‘ard Boyz, I have not played in a tournament since March, so I’m looking forward to today. Time to print off the army list and gather the Boyz into the transport. Waaagh!
Upcoming July Tournament
Not counting the recent 3-week tournament we held this month, I have not done a tournament since March. In the five tournaments I’ve done I have only fielded my Space Marines once. We are scored on painting and my Orks are fully painted so I’ve used them the most because I can assemble a list without worrying about what is and is not painted. The one time I did field my Marines I fielded only what was painted and the result was less than desired. That was the one time I went 0-3 for the day.

Week #3 – June’s Tournament
Last night was the final night for the ongoing tournament. I’m not feeling up to writing a narrative battle report so here’s the breakdown. I played two games last night. My first game was against the best Ork player at the shop, also one of the best players at the shop period. So good in fact that he’s going to ‘ard Boyz Nationals. My list was:

Week #2 – June’s Tournament
I played the second game last night of the ongoing tournament. My opponent was a Marine player, another person just getting back into the game. The mission involved six objectives, of which only three were real objectives. On turn 2, 4 and 6 you had to roll to see which objectives were legit. To get a massacre you had to have more kill points and hold more objectives and deployment was dawn of war. The mission was supposed to be night fighting the entire game but we completely forgot about it.
