Battle Report: Disciples of Twilight vs Cobra

Posted on December 16, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

Wednesday my Chaos Marines faced Imperial Guard. His army is themed as Cobra. Wish I had a shot of his army, it’s cool, complete with Cobra Commander and Destro. You can see it a bit on the left image.  Read more... (688 words, 1 image, estimated 2:45 mins reading time)

Weekly Battle: Kill Team Tournament

Posted on May 26, 2011 08:20 am by Thor

Every now and then we do these small tournaments on the regular 40K night at the LGS. Last night we did a Kill Team tournament. I mulled around various ideas and in the end just went with throwing down 7 Immortals. Having T5 in such a small game meant I likely would not see an instant death weapon, so always getting WBB from shooting if I kept my Immortals close enough. I gave one of them tank hunter, another FNP and the last furious charge.  Read more... (637 words, 1 image, estimated 2:33 mins reading time)

Weekly Battle: Scalpel vs Hammer

Posted on May 19, 2011 08:43 am by Thor

Last night the my Marines, the Emperor’s finest, faced off against Imperial Guard, the workhorse of the Imperium. We opted to play a Battle Mission, I believe it was called Prepared Assault, an Imperial Guard mission. Deployment was length-wise up to the board center and victory conditions was using victory points but only for completely destroyed units. Any troops that were destroyed would go into reserves and come back on.  Read more... (787 words, 1 image, estimated 3:09 mins reading time)

April Tournament Report: Snow…Seriously?

Posted on April 25, 2011 08:36 am by Thor

It was raining in the morning and by the time I got to the LGS for the monthly tournament it was snowing. Even for Maine that’s uncharacteristic and it did clear off later in the day and go figure, the next day was damn near 70 degrees. It is a rather good analogy of my day of gaming.  Read more...

Weekly Battle: April 6th – Air Cavalry

Posted on April 7, 2011 09:56 am by Thor

As with last week and wanting to play test my revised missions, we did so last night and ran King of the Hill. I was playing against an IG player, amongst other armies, and he was running an in-progress Air Cavalry list. This player is someone I’ve played a lot at the LGS and lose against way more often than not, especially against his IG. His list was roughly:  Read more...

Battle Report: 1,750 FLGS Tournament

Posted on March 21, 2011 09:24 am by Thor

This past Saturday was the the monthly tournament at my FLGS. As the title states, it was 1,750 and we had a great showing of 17 players. Dave, who works there, plays when we have odd numbers so we had nine games going on for the day. I’ll dive right in and try and keep this short since I’m not a fan of long-winded reports and I imagine others share that sentiment.  Read more...

Battle for the Burbs Report

Posted on March 14, 2011 08:40 am by Thor

Saturday, March 12th, was the Battle for the Burbs, an even put on by the Dorkamorka club in Watertown, MA. It was a 1,750 tournament for 30 players, though only 24 made it, that was heavy on the soft scores. Normally I’m all about keeping soft scores out of a tournament in determining the winner but really I thought it was a nice change of pace. Sometimes you have to mix it up to keep things fresh and fun. Six of us from the LGS Crossroad Games headed down together for a kick ass day of gaming.  Read more...

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)

September Team Tournament Wrap-up

Posted on September 20, 2010 09:07 am by Thor

This was the second team tournament I’ve done and like the last time I had a good time. It’s nice to have someone to confer with and discuss strategy as you play. Of course there’s the interesting pairings that occur too that make for fun games.  Read more... (917 words, 1 image, estimated 3:40 mins reading time)

July’s 1,850 Tournament Results

Posted on July 25, 2010 08:18 am by Thor

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:  Read more...

Legion of the Damned

Posted on February 4, 2010 01:08 pm by Thor

It seems everyone loves Legion of the Damned (LoD), for their fluff but many have reservations about fielding them. Many argue that for the points you get more use out of Sternguard. Being someone who also enjoys their fluff and loves the new models for them, well I had to give them a shot. Now, when I write tacticas they aren’t written to tell you how to use something, instead they are generally more my experience with a unit and my thoughts. I’ll never claim to know the absolute best way to do anything but I do enjoy sharing my views.  Read more... (796 words, 1 image, estimated 3:11 mins reading time)
