Necrons vs Sisters of Battle
This 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.
Quick Report: Campaign Week #2
As 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.

Necrons vs Space Marines
Wednesday 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.
Why Campaigns are Fun
At my FLGS we tend to run a campaign of some sort about every 3-4 months. Whenever we do them the attendance at the shop is crazy. The last campaign we did averaged 20-22 players each week. The best part, in my opinion, was after the campaign was over a lot of the players stuck around and became more regular players instead of infrequent ones.

Road to Glory Campaign: Week #1 Report
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend, well, those in the US anyway. Of course, hopefully everyone else had a great weekend too. My wife and I went on a mini-vacation and just got back last night. Now it’s back to the grind.

Campaign Report: 2,000 for Week #4
Last night was another game in our ongoing campaign. It was a standard 2,000 game with the exception of being able to shoot to other tables from your table. You had to have range to do this, which naturally limited who could even bother trying. We played capture and control with spearhead deployment. I was playing Ming and his Ultramarines and I played Fate’s Angels, my Marines.

Weekly Wrap-up: Brrrrr
In non-blogging related news, Monday we had a really cold day here in Maine, starting the morning off at -20 fahrenheit. My wife got home and the heat wasn’t working on the 2nd floor so I called the plumber/heating guy. I figured it was a zone control valve since the zone was calling for heat on the furnace, which means the heat just wasn’t being pushed to the 2nd floor. The heating guy couldn’t come till Wednesday so we sucked it up and used an electric heater in the bedroom for two nights.

Campaign Report: 1,850 for Week #3
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.

Weekly Wrap-up: Games and Paint
This past week was a very busy week for me on the painting front. Since wrapping up Joe’s Marines I’ve just about finished painting my Assault Squad. I just have the Sarge left and he should be done this weekend.
Campaign Report: Second Week – Team Game
Having played our mega-battle the other week and teams now set, last night we played a team game for the campaign. Each team determined the players on their side who would pair up and then who they played was determined randomly. My Orks paired off with a Necron player (who normally plays Space Wolves), and we faced a Tyranid and Blood Angel army. The other game was Daemons and Space Wolves (my team), against Imperial Guard and Necrons (other team).

Ork List: 1K Speedmek for Team Game
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:
Campaign Report: Mega-battle
At the LGS we began a campaign last night. The first battle was simple, bring 500pts and join the free-for-all mega-battle. We had 12 of us last night and so we set up an 8′x8′ table and commenced the chaos.

500pt Ork List for Upcoming Campaign
At the LGS we’re going to be doing a campaign starting next week. The first game is a mega-battle. An old fashioned free-for-all with however many players attend. It’s set for 500pts with a limited force org: 1 HQ, 1 Troop, and 0-1 everything else with the ability to double up any slot other than HQ. After pondering over a few different ideas I’ve settled for this Ork list:

Weekly Wrap-up: My Nose is Tuffed Up
Small wrap-up today. Wednesday I got in a really fun team game. Next month we’ll be doing a team tournament so I’ll be working through some lists leading up to it. I’ll most likely be playing my Orks, though I may stray to the Necrons. The first time I ran my Necrons in a team tournament we did really well and it was a blast. I was partnered with a Tau player I know and we went 2-1 for the day, losing out to Kamui and a Space Wolf player in the final game. Too many angry things trying to chop us up did us in.

Weekend Wrap-up: Mix O’ Stuff
Wednesday night I got in a game against a new comer to the shop. We played a 1,500 game of Marine on Marine for annihilation. I got smoked, plain and simple. For some reason when I play annihilation I always forget to go for the easy kill points and spend too much time focusing on the tougher units, the threats. By the time I realize I’m down on points it’s too late to climb out of the hole. One of these days I’ll play that damn mission correctly.

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.
