Tournament Report: Kill Team

Every few months we run a quick Kill Team tournament at my FLGS. There’s always a good showing and last night we had 16 of us for it. The last time we did this I ran five Chaos Terminators and got smoked in all three games. This time I opted for seven Plague Marines with two plasma guns. I gave one plasma gun infiltrate, one relentless and a bolter guy slow and purposeful.

December Tournament Report: The Chaos Induction

Originally we, myself and two other authors here, had planned on doing a joint battle report but that never came to pass. I had already written my portion of things so instead of wasting it I may as well toss it up here.

Battle Report: Team Game with Chaos

Wednesday night at my FLGS I played a team game. January’s tournament will be a team game with 1,250 per-player and random pairings. The force org is restricted to avoid breaking it and make pairings easier. It’s 1 HQ, 0-1 elite, 1-3 troops, 0-1 fast attack and 0-1 heavy and you can add 1 more to any of the 0-1 selections. In my continuing effort to test things out with Chaos I brought this list, the same one I used last week: http://cmdctr.net/lists/611.

Rok Da Vote: Necron Power Level Closed

Now that players have had the chance to go over the new codex and play some games I wanted to know what you all thought regarding how effective Necrons now are. The results are in and the poll is closed.

Rok Da Vote: Necron Power Level

The robots are here and if your FLGS is anything like mine then there’s no shortage of Necron players.

Rok Da Vote: Necrons Poll Closed

I set up this poll as the rumors were hot and the rumored release date just around the corner. They’ve been out for a week’ish so it’s time to shut down the poll. The results were:

Quick Report: New Necrons and Tournament Prep

On Wednesday I got to face off against the new Necrons. I brought my 1,850 Marine list I’m using for this Saturday’s tournament. No offense to my opponent, who I know reads my blog, but there’s not a ton to report from the game itself. I threw Terminators with an attached Librarian and Cassius at him, ate some Warriors and a Lord, then got stuck into a damn near endless combat by a counter-charge from Oberon (I spell that right?), and Lychguard. With both our assault units tied up I just went about shooting the hell out of him and when the game ended on turn 7 he was tabled.

Rok Da Vote: Necrons

Seems appropriate I get a poll going for the impending release of Necrons. The rumors are everywhere, price lists are floating around, dates are all but confirmed, it’s inevitable. Necrons are just about here.

Battle Report: Chaos Unleashed

I used to do battle reports in a bit of a narrative format and later went to a more blow-by-blow format, though far shorter than many other reports you’ll read. So, what the hell, let’s do this week’s report in the format I prefer. For the record, my Chaos army is named Disciples of Twilight and no, it has nothing to do with those lame ass movies.

Monthly Tournament Report: Playing for Fun

This past weekend the LGS hosted its normal monthly tournament. This month it was 1,850 and as a test run for the event we’re hosting in November we also incorporated sportsmanship scoring and painting scoring. As a result I opted to bring my Space Marines but I wanted to do something different and field a more ‘fun’ list. Here’s the list I brought: http://cmdctr.net/lists/472

Road to Glory Campaign – Week #2 Report

As we continue the summer campaign we move into week #2. Another incredible showing at the LGS too with 22 players. We rarely reach that many for monthly tournaments.

June’s Team Tournament Conclusion

The team tournaments at the LGS are probably the most looked forward to events we have. It’s generally 1,000 to 1,250 per-player so beginners can generally make the points and having a partner always lends a different atmosphere to the games. This past Saturday was no exception for turnout with 20 players in attendance.

Necrons: Will the New Codex Inspire?

As usual at the LGS we tend to spend as much time talking about 40K as we do playing it. Naturally the topic of Necrons emerged and I realized that even with a new codex for them I may not even be interested. For the record, I do own roughly 1,500pts of Necrons, so we’re talking about a continuation of the army, not starting new.

Weekly Battle: Team Tournament Preparation

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:
