Fly back after actually playing game. A REAL GAME! Wahoooooooooooooo!

Well, in follow up to my recent jury-duty-list-building-post, I fielded something similar to it against my good buddy Jesse.

TJ's Necron/ Chaos Marines at $250 Tourney Round 3 Batrep and Final Thoughts!

TJ here to talk about the third and final game in a recent tournament I attended at Blue Ox Games in Greenville, NC. The tourney was 1850, with a $250 grand prize. I ran my Necrons and CSM allies. If you want more of the list, check out the first part here, game two here or ... just read part three along with my final thoughts below:

TJ's Necron/ Chaos Allies at $250 Tourney Batrep Round 2!

TJ here with part two of the Blue Ox tourney I attended recently with my Necrons/ CSM army. For Part 1 to this report and a look at my list, check out this link, otherwise, continue here for part two and a peak at an amazing army.

TJ's Necron/ Chaos Marines to $250 Tourney, Batrep and List Part 1!

TJ here with a little series of write ups from a tournament I attended the weekend before last. I took my Necrons with Chaos Space Marine Allies to Blue Ox games in Greenville, NC. I will talk about the store briefly, give a breif run down on the games and then talk about the list since I didn't really take many good photos. So here we go:

Indiana State Chapionship Round Up

by Chris Vinton

My theory of people that go to tournaments get better at tournaments (yes, its obvious but really think about it) was reinforced this weekend.  Jesse Z and I packed up the diesel jetta and made the trek down to Lafayette Indiana for the first state championship.  Despite the field being very small, there was some very stiff competition.

MiGT Battle Report; Ken Brunner Part 4

Coming in with part 4 of Ken Brunners battle report from the Michigan GT.

Here we go, Round 4! It's another doozy of a list. Predictions? I'm thinking this is gonna be tough. I've got a better chance at The Relic than he does.. I think. BUT, his guns all out-range me by a LOT. And to make matters worse, it's on Hammer and Anvil deployment. I'm not sure my army will hold up before I can even get in range to shoot him! And that evil Dark Reaper squad of his manning the Icarus can easily gun down a Night Scythe a turn. The same Night Scythes which represent my only real chance to win the game. :( We'll see..

MiGT Battle Report; Ken Brunner Part 3

Coming in today with part 3 of 4th place and Best Xenos General, Ken Brunner's Chrayons battle report!

We're half-way through Day 1, and so far I'm sitting pretty with full points and a share of first place. However, I've had plenty of good fortune in securing two very favorable match-ups. Will my luck continue, or will it run dry? On the surface, my Round 3 opponent would seem to have all of the tools to deal with my army. Solid anti-air, anti-Typhus missiles, dakka out the wazoo to deal with Wraiths, Torrent weapons for flaming Zombies, MC Force Weapon SMASH.. Grey Knights may not be the terror they once were near the end of 5th edition, but this match could definitely prove to be my undoing.

MiGT Battle Report; Ken Brunner Part 2

Coming in today with part 2 of 4th place and Best Xenos General, Ken Brunner's Chrayons battle report!

MiGT Battle Report; Ken Brunner Part 1

Here is a battle report that is currently running on Dakkadakka.  This is from 4th place finisher and Best Xenos General, Ken Brunner. We'll update this as he does (with his permission of course; no plagiarism on this blog!)

MiGT: Flymolo's Day 2 Report

Ho!
Day one is over and I'm sitting like a ballerina at two-two. See what I did there? Tutu? Two-two? Two and two? 2-2... yep.

GT Report - 2

Ho!
Two games are behind me and I'm sitting right in the middle of the pack with 26 battle points. After a crushing loss in game one and a solid win in game two, I figure there's still hope in finishing high if I manage to continue my, er, one game winning streak. :) Think positive.

Fly Molo Goes to a GT!

Ho!

I have risen. Like the phoenix. From the ashes. My "three things" post has been ringing extremely true over the past 3 months or so and I have been distanced from our beloved hobby...
Between buying a "fixer-upper" of a house, attempting to sell my current house, work increasing some demands on me, home schooling our children and attempting to be a good husband, Warhammer has hit the back burner.
But it burns. Slowly, it burns.

Tau vs Orks 1850 Battle Report

1850pt Tau vs Ork Battle Report

By Chris Vinton

This week I ran my tau against orks.  I'll admit the prospect of running against a close combat army seemed a sure bet for the tau, but with Matt's mech Orks I really had my doubts.  3 AV 14 battle wagons really pushed the weakness of my list.  The sept was really in for a rough match with the marked lack of armor punch; this was a true test to my theory that my Riptides are enough to handle AV 14...

The New Dark Angels Codex: Sharing the Raven Wing Experience!

 

Old School here with a post concerning Raven Wing bike armies. Now, usually I would just talk about what I thought worked and what doesn't and list ideas when it comes to exploring a new book, but then I found a couple of articles that not only detailed a list using the new Raven Wing, but 5 games worth of competitive battle reports summing its performance against a lot of different lists and how it was used to full effect on the table. With that said, rather than run my mouth, I want to share some field experience from the links below:

Battle Report: Craftworld Eldar vs Deathwing!

Old School here with a battle report between Wolfson's Craftworld Eldar and my Death Wing at the newly opened Dropzone Games in Glen Burnie, Md. This game was a lot of fun and had its share of twists and turns and reminded me how Wolfson finally got me from the sidelines to being a player so many years ago. Anyway, here it is:

"Rise of the Lascannon" Round 2..... FIGHT!: Battle Report

As you all know I recently started a new list that is really different. The reasons why and what the list is can be found here. Now I have played my second game with this list, and against Grey Knights at that against DFG's very own... The Judge.

Lascannons arise! The Rebirth of my foot-guard, and the death of Chimera spam

   

     So a couple weeks ago I had decided to try out a new list (for a reminder on the list, or if you didn't read it the first time, here is a link to the article.) This list... its gone to the cleaners... and will never return. After three games I have thrown in the towel. I know, I know, I promised to give it 10 full games, but 3 was all it took to realize that the list just was not going to work.

Dark Footdar Development List vs Death Wing: Rematch Batrep!

Old School here with another battle report of Death Wing vs Wolfson's developmental Dark Footdar, inspired by the talk between Reecius of Frontline Gaming and Hyv3mynd over at Synaps3. In our last game, Wolfson was fresh from a long break away from the game and made a couple mistakes. He may have been beat, but he was not defeated and brought it on strong in our second game ...

Battle Report: Death Wing vs Developmental DE Webway list!

Old School here with a quick battle report between my Dark Angels and Wolfson's Dark Eldar. We played at the Battle Bunker in Bowie, MD and Wolfson's force may seem a little rag tag, but it is because we were helping him play test his army before he goes out and buys a ton of plastic. Anyway, Wolfson is trying his hand at Web Way DE and his method of employing one of the portals is a large unit of Grotesques below with two Haemonculi and Lady Malis for the psyker protection. He also brought a couple of venoms hidden behind the fortress, a couple of ravagers in the back, and ...

Blood in the Sun tourney

I am back with Blood in the Sun with tales of triumph and pictures of the carnage that was my first 2 day GT. Over 50 players were at the event and when the dust settled I scored 3rd place on Battle points and 7th place in the Overall Standings. Lets take a look at how things went down.

Starting off Friday night, I decided to play a practice game with Jake Murphy who I met at Adepticon and frequently hit up on Twitter. Jake was playing his Brettonians and we decided to have a tune-up game and a few beers.
