Battle Report: Chaos vs Blood Angels

Posted on January 27, 2012 07:00 am by Thor

I’m trying to take a new approach to my Chaos lists. At this point I’m over the honeymoon stage where I feel compelled to throw down all sorts of different stuff to learn about the army. That’s not to say there aren’t still units I want to test out, still plenty of those, but that I’m comfortable with the army now at least. So on Wednesday when I got to play I brought along this list: http://cmdctr.net/lists/712. I was planning on an 1,850 game so I threw in the Havocs to make points, it was quick and easy.  Read more... (821 words, 1 image, estimated 3:17 mins reading time)

Battle Report: Dark Gods and the Inevitable

Posted on December 9, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

Thus far my Chaos Marines, Disciples of Twilight, have had a really strong showing in the handful of games I’ve managed with them. By far the best start, win/loss ratio, I’ve had with any army. Part of that I feel is honestly because nobody plays them at my FLGS with regularity. Players are on a bit of a learning curve when across from them. Once people become more accustomed to them the harder it will be for me.  Read more... (1066 words, 1 image, estimated 4:16 mins reading time)

Quick Report: More Standoff Practice

Posted on November 3, 2011 08:44 am by Thor

After another night of working on terrain as we prepare for The Standish Standoff, I got in a practice game for the event. Last week I also got in a practice game but I decided to completely overhaul my list. My previous list was more assault oriented, utilizing Fate Lord Monthu (aka: Shrike), and the list I brought last night was a much more balanced list. As with last week I’m not giving out my list. I’d hate for all the players at my FLGS to decide to build lists to counter mine ;)  Read more... (539 words, 1 image, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)

Battle Report: The True Test of Chaos

Posted on August 25, 2011 08:53 am by Thor

Last night I played two 1,850 games with Chaos. My first opponent was playing vanilla Marines with a Legion of the Damned army using Vulkan. He, at the recommendation of another player, was trying out Tigurius. He list featured three Drop Pods, two full of Tacts and one with Sternguard who were joined by Vulkan and Tigurius. He also had two full Legion squads. Naturally the entire list was melta heavy.  Read more... (990 words, 1 image, estimated 3:58 mins reading time)

Road to Glory Campaign: Conclusion

Posted on July 30, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

Last week I didn’t get up a report but it was a thorough spanking and wasn’t a ton to go over. I was tabled by turn five by a great Tyranid player. That made this Wednesday night the final game and the way the campaign works it was the game that decided it all. Despite being thrashed consistently every week, the Imperium could still win the campaign.  Read more... (567 words, 1 image, estimated 2:16 mins reading time)

Weekly Battle: Fate’s Angels vs Team Edward

Posted on June 27, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

Wednesday night I got in a game against Blood Angels, an army I routinely have problems dealing with effectively. We ran a 2,500 game to try to work out some ‘ard Boyz ideas. Here’s the list I put together.  Read more... (764 words, 3 images, estimated 3:03 mins reading time)

Weekly Battle: Team Tournament Preparation

Posted on June 9, 2011 11:33 am by Thor

This month will be a team tournament at my FLGS so last night we opted to play a team game to get ready. As usual I took Fate’s Angels, my Marines, lead by Fate Lord Monthu (counts-as Shrike). Here’s the list I ran:  Read more... (615 words, 1 image, estimated 2:28 mins reading time)

Weekly Battle: Apocalypse Can Be Fun

Posted on June 2, 2011 12:00 pm by Thor

This month we began what will become a monthly routine at the LGS with the first 40K night of the month being Apocalypse. I had reservations about this because I’ve only played a handful of times, the first time being not fun at all and really putting me off. The second time wasn’t so bad but still not all that much fun.  Read more... (575 words, 1 image, estimated 2:18 mins reading time)

Weekly Battle: Fate’s Angels vs Blood Angels

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

Another Wednesday night and another battle. 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...

The Dirty Win

Posted on February 9, 2011 10:24 am by Thor

Over the weekend I got in a game against someone at the LGS. He’s pretty new with Blood Angels, coming from Vanilla Marines, but constantly improving his skills with the help of one of the best players at the shop, who also plays Blood Angels. The game we played was seize ground with four objectives using spearhead deployment. I won the roll and opted to go second since it was an objective game and he was mostly deep striking anyway.  Read more... (491 words, 1 image, estimated 1:58 mins reading time)

Campaign Report: 1,850 for Week #3

Posted on January 27, 2011 09:20 am by Thor

Last night was out third week in the campaign at the LGS. We ran an 1,850 game playing my mission King of the Hill. We had 10 players last night, five on each team, and we rolled for random opponents. As luck would have it I got to play the other team’s captain, a brutal Blood Angels player.  Read more...

Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving

Posted on November 25, 2010 11:07 am by Thor

And I got stomped. Played two games last night at the LGS and was trying out my Shrike list. I had swapped out the Predator in that list for Scouts in a Storm, in the 2K list, and my 1,850 list was that same minus the Scouts and Storm.  Read more...

Experiences Against the New Blood Angels

Posted on April 8, 2010 10:06 am by Thor

I’ve now played three games against the new Blood Angels with my Orks. I have not seen everything the codex has to offer of course but I’ve certainly seen some of the key units and rules in those games.  Read more... (1081 words, 1 image, estimated 4:19 mins reading time)
