Road to Glory Campaign: Week #1 Report

Posted on July 5, 2011 08:26 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (519 words, 1 image, estimated 2:05 mins reading time)

Campaign Report: 2,000 for Week #4

Posted on February 10, 2011 09:32 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (592 words, 1 image, estimated 2:22 mins reading time)

Weekly Wrap-up: Brrrrr

Posted on January 29, 2011 08:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (460 words, 3 images, estimated 1:50 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...

Weekly Wrap-up: Games and Paint

Posted on January 22, 2011 08:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (282 words, 2 images, estimated 1:08 mins reading time)

Campaign Report: Second Week – Team Game

Posted on January 20, 2011 11:38 am by Thor

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).  Read more... (594 words, 1 image, estimated 2:23 mins reading time)

Campaign Report: Mega-battle

Posted on January 6, 2011 10:15 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (410 words, 1 image, estimated 1:38 mins reading time)

500pt Ork List for Upcoming Campaign

Posted on January 2, 2011 10:02 am by Thor

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:  Read more... (287 words, 1 image, estimated 1:09 mins reading time)

Weekly Wrap-up: My Nose is Tuffed Up

Posted on December 24, 2010 08:18 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (202 words, 1 image, estimated 48 secs reading time)

Weekend Wrap-up: Mix O’ Stuff

Posted on September 12, 2010 07:55 am by Thor

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.  Read more...

Imperium vs Xenos Campaign Concludes

Posted on August 19, 2010 09:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (659 words, 1 image, estimated 2:38 mins reading time)

Gamers Just Wanna Have Fun

Posted on July 8, 2010 09:05 am by Thor

What constitutes fun inevitably varies player to player but the the truth is that when we play we do want to have fun, well unless you’re a masochist. It’s easy to get caught up in the competitive nature of things. Be that besting your favorite enemy or winning a tournament. Some times you just need to step back and relax. It’s just a game, albeit a game we all obsess about beyond what probably passes for healthy, but a game none-the-less.  Read more... (501 words, 1 image, estimated 2:00 mins reading time)

Planetary Empires

Posted on February 11, 2010 12:23 pm by Thor

Down at Crossroads we have just started up a Planetary Empires campaign. Last night was the first night and we had a good showing of six players to kick it off. I’ve always been a fan of campaigns as having a goal for your battles and a chance to write in some fluff for your army is nice. We plan to play it over eight weeks, so I’ll hopefully get plenty of material to fluff out my Marine chapter Fate’s Angels some more.  Read more...
