Quick Report: Another Team Tournament Practice

Posted on December 30, 2010 10:02 am by Thor

Last night we got in another practice game for the upcoming team tournament at Crossroad Games. The tournament will be 1,250 per-player and has a restricted forge organization: 1 HQ, 0-1 Elites, 1-3 Troops, 0-1 Fast Attack, 0-1 Heavy Support. You can double up one of the 0-1 slots. Oh, and it’s random partners.  Read more... (587 words, 1 image, estimated 2:21 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)

Preparing for the 1,850 December Tournament

Posted on December 2, 2010 12:34 pm by Thor

With some great feedback on my previous Shrike list post, I played an 1,850 game last night. We have a tournament coming up in a few weeks and this is my intended list. The only changes from the previously modified list is putting two flamers in the Assault Squad, which freed up 5pts (dropped the plasma pistol), that I spend on a combat shield for that Sarge. Here it is:  Read more... (819 words, 1 image, estimated 3:17 mins reading time)

October Tournament Report

Posted on October 24, 2010 08:38 am by Thor

Yesterday at the LGS we played an 1,850 tournament. A few months ago I began advocating we remove army composition and this month was our first without it. At the end of the day we were asked what we thought and nobody noticed a difference, that army composition wasn’t in place. That’s the appropriate answer in my opinion.  Read more...

October 1,850 Tournament – Ork List

Posted on October 19, 2010 08:28 am by Thor

For the tournament this coming weekend I’ve decided to run one of my tested lists. I was originally hoping to use my Marines but in wanting to field only painted units, well that leaves me with a poor Marine list. So, with little time to experiment I’m using the below list.  Read more... (647 words, 1 image, estimated 2:35 mins reading time)

Ramblings: Competitive Armies

Posted on October 14, 2010 11:47 am by Thor

I’m a competitive gamer. I don’t mean that I fly out to the various tournaments held across the US and prove my worth against a room full of 40K players. I would if I could. No, I mean that I enjoy competing. I enjoy the challenge and regularly attend tournaments at the LGS. I have a competitive nature, as we all do to varying degrees, but I compete locally.  Read more... (905 words, 1 image, estimated 3:37 mins reading time)

Big Mek with KFF

Posted on October 12, 2010 05:10 pm by Kamui

Hello all,

I’ve just uploaded a few pics of Ro-Twang, my Big Mek with Kustom Force Field.  He’s based primarily on one parts from the plastic Nobz box.  The hair and bioniks were scratch built using styrene and Kneadatite, the KFF was built from various bits and wire.  His arms are magnet mounted, I’ll post more pics when I get his burna arms painted.  Read more...

Buzzdakka!

Posted on October 2, 2010 10:52 am by Kamui

Here are some WIP shots of a nob I’m working on.  Buzzdakka is a nob with big shoota and ‘uge choppa. He’s based on a Black Ork body with parts from the Nobz box and other sources. I’ve used Kneadatite to update his pants and boots and clean up the joints.  Read more... (52 words, 4 images, estimated 12 secs reading time)

Bad Moon Nob

Posted on September 28, 2010 04:59 pm by Kamui

Hello all.  I’m still getting the hang of this newfangled blog-a-majingy so you will all have to bear with me as I sort things out.  I don’t have quite as much to say as Thor, so I’ll be starting with some pictures.  Here’s a Bad Moon nob I recently painted, eventually he’ll be leading a mob of Bad Moon ‘Ard Boyz.  Read more...

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)

Crossroad Games, the LGS I play at, was having a store anniversary this weekend with lots of stuff going on and one event was a 1,750 tournament for 40K. There was no entry fee and my plans allowed for me to attend so I headed down there yesterday.  Read more... (599 words, 1 image, estimated 2:24 mins reading time)

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)

Lessons Learned: Kommandos

Posted on July 26, 2010 07:22 am by Thor

Kommandos have always been a favorite unit of mine, especially with Snikrot. They’re a unit that as soon as I put into my list the list becomes exciting for me. For a while I had not fielded them and I couldn’t honestly recall why. After this month’s tournament I recalled why, mech.  Read more... (509 words, 1 image, estimated 2:02 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...
