Battle Report: 1,750 Team Tournament

Battle Report: ZahndrekhSaturday a friend and I went to a team tournament, it was 1750 points per player. Yes, you read that right. Per player, meaning 3500 point teams, 3500 vs 3500. The games were long, but really bad-ass and fun. It was overall a really enjoyable day and I’m glad we went.

Battle Report: Overview & Musings

Battle Report: MusingsLast night I managed to get in two games with my Chaos Marines. We have a tournament this month that’s 1,850 with Imperial Armor allowed. I don’t own any IA stuff so it’s bog standard stuff for me.

Necrons: Rakzan’s Redemption

Necrons: C'tanSo, in the new Necron Codex they mention a really badass character, Rakzan. The sole remaining survivor of the Khansu Dynasty. Part of this article is directly from the book (as it establishes his ‘preface’), but this is mostly my own expansion of the Prince’s story.

NecronHi everyone, here with the third portion of my Necron play style. This week I was going to focus more on how to dish out all that damage, or how to handle the nasty assault units you’ll come across these days.

Rok Da Vote: Necrons Re-Poll Closed

Necrons CodexSince the new Necrons have been out for a while I re-polled the community to see if opinions had changed on where Necrons now stand in the hierarchy of codices.

First up, let’s review the previous poll’s results when Necrons had been out for a short bit.

Necron Strategy/Tactics/My Thoughts Part 2

Necron Command BargeHey all, Lukas here again with the second installment of my Newcron tactics. Since the broad overview was covered in the previous article, I figured I could go into more detail with my preferred units or ones I believe could be good replacements.

Necron Strategy/Tactics/My Thoughts Part 1

NecronsI’d like to shine light on a more balanced approach to Necron lists. A sort of all comers list if you will. While the Scarab Farm is godlike against many armies, something like Tyranids manage to laugh at it, or most horde armies in general could probably take the assault easily enough.

Rok Da Vote: Re-poll – Necrons

NecronsWhen the Necron codex was first out I put up a poll asking you all what you thought about the new Necrons. Many months have since passed and so I’m asking again the same question but now most everyone has far more experience under their belt be it with the army or facing it.

Necrons vs Sisters of Battle

necronsThis 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.

Necrons vs Space Marines

Necrons vs Space MarinesWednesday 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.

Battle Report: Chaos vs Necrons

Battle Report: Chaos vs NecronsIt’s been three weeks since I got a game in. I was starting to go through withdrawal. Last night I played against Necrons with Disciples of Twilight, my Chaos force. We were playing 2,012pts, the size of the tournament this Saturday that I unfortunately can’t make. His list was: 1 Overlord, Traveler w/Command Barge, 2 x Stalkers, 10 x Immortals, 10′ish Warriors (2) w/Ghost Arks, 2 x Heavy Destroyers, Monolith, C’tan and 4 x Cyrpteks. Think that was everything. Here’s the list I brought: http://cmdctr.net/lists/731. Here’s the battle report.

Tournament Report: Kill Team

Kill Team - Ruined CityEvery 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

Tournament: KrampusOriginally 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

Battle Report - ChaosWednesday 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.
