Tournament Report: Kill Team

Posted on January 5, 2012 08:32 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (632 words, 1 image, estimated 2:32 mins reading time)

December Tournament Report: The Chaos Induction

Posted on January 3, 2012 08:04 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (557 words, 1 image, estimated 2:14 mins reading time)

The Standish Standoff: Tournament Wrap-up

Posted on November 14, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

After months of preparing for it it’s almost sad to see it go. My FLGS, Crossroad Games, hosted its first ever annual large 40K tournament on Saturday. It was a 30 person event with three rounds using soft scores, which is uncommon for us. Our monthly events are straight battle points but this new annual event we wanted to create a more friendly and hobby oriented event. Many of us spent the past four months getting ready for it. Tables had to be built, more terrain created, old tables and terrain repaired, etc. It’s been a long road but the payoff was well worth it.  Read more...

Quick Report: New Necrons and Tournament Prep

Posted on November 11, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more...

Quick Report: Standoff Practice

Posted on October 28, 2011 09:13 am by Thor

My FLGS is hosting a large 30-person tournament on Nov. 12th called The Standish Standoff. In short it’s a more hobby oriented tournament where our monthly ones are not. As such, I’m working out some lists for my Space Marines that capitalize on what I have painted to avoid the last-minute rush of needing to get things done. Tournaments are a motivator for painting but at the same time I don’t want to do rush jobs on my army either.  Read more... (416 words, 1 image, estimated 1:40 mins reading time)

Battle Report: FLGS October Tournament

Posted on October 24, 2011 09:17 am by Thor

This month my FLGS ran a 2K tournament. Normally in our tournaments we put all the entry fees into the prize pool but this month it was a benefit for a store regular who was diagnosed with cancer. Originally it was to be 75% to the benefit and 25% to the players but GW decided to do prize support for us allowing us to give 100% to this gentleman, which is awesome. The downside is that it would seem a fair amount of people didn’t want to bother thinking the prize pool was insubstantial and we had one of our worst showings ever. It’s sad really. I guess some people care more about the prize support than they do playing some games for fun and benefiting a man with a life threatening illness.  Read more...
