Look an Ethereal is here on earth. She has poor vision, painted white and old.

April Tournament Woes – Or Why I Learned to Stop Worrying and Get a New Army.

Posted on April 26, 2011 01:11 pm by EvantheNoob

So the monthly tournament rolled around at our humble FLGS, and I decided to make the requisite monthly pilgrimage. I actually live 2 1/2 hours away so I usually only get down there on for the tournament.  Read more... (1081 words, 1 image, estimated 4:19 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: Big Team Game

Posted on April 21, 2011 12:29 pm by Thor

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.  Read more... (768 words, 1 image, estimated 3:04 mins reading time)

April Tournament: Tau Test List Version 2

Posted on March 31, 2011 10:54 am by EvantheNoob

This has grown out of my previous incarnation of my list as an attempt to get more delaying units and more plasma shots in my army. While still not an “internet approved” list, it is alot better for our local meta than the first list I think.  Read more... (203 words, estimated 49 secs reading time)

Weekly Battle: March 30th – Purging Xenos

Posted on March 31, 2011 09:47 am by Thor

Instead of doing a full blown battle report I figured I’d chat a bit about the stuff I was trying out. I played against Tau last night and I brought Fate’s Angels, my Marines. Since I had redone Attack and Defend I wanted to test it out. In short, the idea is to grab the enemy’s deployment zone with more scoring units than he has in his zone and have more in your own than he has in yours.  Read more...

April Tournament Test List: 2000 Point Tau

Posted on March 24, 2011 05:09 pm by EvantheNoob

This will be a departure from my usual list, as it hase become readily apparent that everyone has figured out how to absolutely own my poor fish-men. I’ve found that the mobility of recent 5th edition armies simply trumps my ability to shoot them as they close. So I’ve decided to go mobile myself. Here’s what I’m thinking.  Read more...

Quick Report: January Team Tournament

Posted on January 18, 2011 08:28 am by Thor

Saturday was the monthly tournament at the LGS. This month was a random partner team tournament: 1,250 per-player with 1 HQ, 0-1 Elites, 1-3 Troops, 0-1 Fast Attack and 0-1 Heavy Support with the ability to double up one 0-1 slot. We had a pretty good showing with 10 teams (20 players), and I was paired up with a Tyranid player who I’m acquainted with, a co-worker of Kamui. I’d run through his list but I’m still terrible at remembering Nid unit names. I had my Necrons and ran this list here.  Read more... (633 words, 1 image, estimated 2:32 mins reading time)

January Team Tourney: 1250 Point Tau List

Posted on December 31, 2010 01:01 am by EvantheNoob

Team tournaments are always fun. I like being partnered up with a random person. The idea of not knowing what half your army is going to consist of prior to entering battle is enormously challenging. Four generals combining and pitting brain power and list power over three games of Warhammer 40k generally results in a hilariously good time for all involved.  Read more...

December 1,850 Tournament Report

Posted on December 20, 2010 10:56 am by Thor

Let’s dive right in, shall we? So, I ran a this Shrike list I have been toying with. My first game was against ShinyRhino/Todd the Goalie. He was running a biker army with Khan in a Command Squad and a Librarian with Assault Marines. The mission was spearhead deployment with objectives placed in the unoccupied quarters. To win you needed more objectives and kill points. I got first turn and picked the quarter with a building to put my Devs in while forcing him into open terrain, though he had some walls to hide behind, which he did. I took up firing positions to be able to hit him as he came around the walls.  Read more... (1154 words, 1 image, estimated 4:37 mins reading time)

Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving

Posted on November 25, 2010 11:07 am by Thor

And I got stomped. Played two games last night at the LGS and was trying out my Shrike list. I had swapped out the Predator in that list for Scouts in a Storm, in the 2K list, and my 1,850 list was that same minus the Scouts and Storm.  Read more...

March’s Team Tournament Report

Posted on March 23, 2010 08:59 am by Thor

First let me say that the team tournament was one of the funnest tournaments I’ve done. Having four players on a table just adds a whole new dynamic to the game and the mood at the tables was light and fun.  Read more... (705 words, 1 image, estimated 2:49 mins reading time)
