Weekly Battle: Last Practice Before Saturday’s Tournament
This Saturday is the LGS’s team tournament. It’s 1,250 per-player, random partners with a modified force org: 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. This makes pairing up easier to avoid things like 4 heavies.

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:

Weekly Battle: Apocalypse Can Be Fun
This month we began what will become a monthly routine at the LGS with the first 40K night of the month being Apocalypse. I had reservations about this because I’ve only played a handful of times, the first time being not fun at all and really putting me off. The second time wasn’t so bad but still not all that much fun.

May Tournament Wrap-up: First 3 games with Space Wolves Ever…
Hello again everyone,
May Tournament Report
The tournament this month at the LGS was a 2K one but with a twist. You had a 1,500 force and two 500 sideboards. You combined the core and a sideboard and it had to stay in the force org. Once you knew the mission and your opponent’s main force you both picked which sideboard you’d use. When this was brought up after last month’s tournament I tried working out a list this way and wasn’t happy with it. A few days ago I finally put together something I liked but it was not play tested. Trial by fire. Be warned, this report is way longer than my usual ones. Feel free to skip to the wrap-up section if you like.

Weekly Battle: Kill Team Tournament
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.

Weekly Wrap-up: It’s Been a While
It’s been a good many weeks since I’ve posted a wrap-up but I finally have some ‘spare’ time.
Weekly Battle: Scalpel vs Hammer
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.

Hobby: Fate Lord Monthu Complete (aka: Shrike)
A while ago I posted the WIP of Monthu after I finished converting him. I finished painting him a bit ago and am finally getting around to putting up some shots of him. Some of the shots are a bit blurry but I don’t feel like setting it up again so they’ll do for now.

Weekly Battle: Another Team Game
At the LGS we seem to be slowly migrating away from every week playing practice games for the upcoming monthly tournaments, which is good. I’m all for practice but doing the same thing week in and week out gets old.

Weekly Battle: First Battle Against Grey Knights
I brought Fate’s Angels, my Marines, and faced Grey Knights last night. I had a test list I was trying out that was more shooting oriented than I normally run, which I figured would be handy since he had a large 10-man Paladin Squad and I certainly wasn’t going to beat him in assault.

My Experiences with Shadow Captain Kayvaan Shrike
Let me preface this by saying this is not an all-inclusive tactica on using Shrike. I have used him for a while and this is about my experiences with him, the good and the bad, and some advice. I’m not going to justify using him, his point efficiency, etc.
April Tournament Report: Snow…Seriously?
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.

Weekly Battle: Big Team Game
Last night at the LGS we held a bitz trade, got some cool stuff I needed, but it also resulted in a larger than usual turnout. There were four of us not gaming and one table, so we threw down a 4K per-side team game. I paired off with a Space Wolf player against Dark Eldar and Tau. I knew it would prove interesting as me and my teammate had a heavy assault force against an assault army paired with a shooty army. If they could work together well it would be rough for us.

Weekly Battle: Deflation & Evaluation
After last week’s match up against an IG Air Cavalry force, the player wanted to rematch this week to redeem his honor. This time he brought his Black Templars, which was cool since I’ve never faced them.

Weekly Battle: April 6th – Air Cavalry
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:
