Bran Scalphunter Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Ask Bran if you can borrow his Exterminatussock! :angry: Just in case. Long Fang So that's where that went! Ya coulda asked fer it first, ya dirty zog... But I'll let it slide this once *winks as I pull out a second Exterminatussock from armor compartment* since you'll probably need it. By the way, is it good that I've been recognized for my trademark tool/weapon/favorite toy on an internet forum? Oooh, so pretty Vrox, such nice models! Best of luck to ya, may Russ guide yer dice and the Emperor watch over ya. ;) *twirls Exterminatussock, nearly obliterating nearby Servitors* :wub: Edit: 700th Post! Yeah! This calls for a feast; more ale, more boar, more battle! Waaagh! da Feast! Waaagh!

Wolf89 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Similar scheme to my army but I took out all forms of yellow in fear it wouldn't work well, but you've proved me wrong, great job. ;) Can't wait to hear about your battles, and great display board. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157503-gt-results/page/2/#findComment-1844501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks all for your words of encouragement and praise, always nice to know that people appreciate ones hard work. 100+ people signed up for 40k my goal is to place in the top 50. The scoring is 50% generalship, 25% sportsmanship and 25% hobby. I hope I can get in the top 50% being carried mostly by the last two, :lol: Off I go, I don't have a laptop so next post will be after the event is over probably Monday or Tuesday. WG Vrox over.

WG Vrox Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Just got back.... That was a fun GT, well I guess I don't know what to compare it too, but from what I heard about rule misers and nit pickers I must say I did not run into those type of folks. Everyone was very cool and very helpful with regards to rules and on the spot decisions. And I was 1 of 2 SW players. Other guys was from Canada and ran a 52 BC army, he ended up losing 4 of the 5 games. Sooo, how did I do you ask Let me break it down for yas. Game 1 Major Victory against a Nidzilla list. Received 20 points Game 2 Major Loss against a Nurgle list. Received 3 points (more on this battle later) Game 3 Draw against Sisters of Battle list. 10 points Day 2 Game 4 Major Victory against a Dark Angle Death Wing list. Tabled him and received full 20 points. Game 5 Minor loss against a Blood Angle list. Gave up 14 points received 9. This is the guy that won best General and tabled 3 out of 5 games, and it was really down to the Vehical Damage rolls for me on a Kill point Dawn of war Anniliation game. I rolled a 6 and siezed initiative so through him for a loop. Out of 64 people I ranked 8th over all. for which I am very happy with the results of. I ranked 9th for Best General. I took more pictures at the beginning of the day 1 and as day 2 games were very intense I pretty much forgot to take notes of any type or pictures... Sorry peps but the battle reports will be very sparse. WG Vrox.

Bran Scalphunter Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Congratz on the placing 8th there Vrox! Good to hear the Wolves still kick arse with a 3rd Ed book. Now, to the important stuff.

Vassakov Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Excellent news Vrox! Good to see if nothing else you put the DA in their place. Was the Nurgle list Daemons or CSM? If Daemons, I'm guessing it was Epidermis, Tarpit Plaguebearers and 3 Daemon Princes with Wings, right?

Wolf89 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 As everyone's said before me Vrox, great job, can't wait for the pictures and batreps. :P I face sisters too much, and drawing is one of the common things between us, and they're nothing to sneeze at, they are still really powerful against the wolves, as well are the damned nurgle... can't wait to see what you did.

WG Vrox Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Ahhh nothing like a good ale or 50 after a well fought battle. Thank you all. while I gather my photos and notes on my battles, I did a quick run down of my list with notes on unit performance and planned changes. If anyone wants to pop over to the SW army list section they can check it out. As always I am very happy to hear your feedback..

WG Vrox Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 http://ordofanaticus.com/modules.php?name=...ewforum&f=9 Still at my friends house in Seattle and having problems with getting pics posted, but here is a link to all the armies at the GT> I received a 35 out of 50 score for appearance, I feel a little robbed on it as I saw the score sheet and felt the judge did not get in close enough to see my suttle shading and I received no points for highlighting, not sure if he felt my highlights were not clean enough or maybe he didn't like my over the top highlighting, no points for hand painted banners, no points for detail painting such as eyes and jewelry. I placed 26th out of 64 so can't complain to much if you consider the curve, but still a bit disapponted. Guess I am going to have to install LEDs into my vehicals to draw attention. I must say though there was definitaly some pro painted armies that far out shinned mine to the point of humbleness.

WG Vrox Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Game 1 against Tyranids Nidzilla list 3 Elite Canifex 2 Heavy Carnifex 2 Hive Tyrants 4 Broods of 6 Genestealers 1 Ripper storm. http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/GT-5.jpg All my pictures are very poor. so putting up some of the better ones of game one Game 1 Seize Ground 5 objectives Spear Head deployment and he won turn 1. Deployed in my normal setup and with my sniper scouts way to far forward, oops. RB and GH were on top of one of the hill that held one of the objectives, Rhino was deployed on my right flank to move toward the far right objective. First round of shooting cost me 2 terminators and 4 snipers, He had 3 Elite Carnifexs setup with 2 twin linked Devourers Extended Carappace Toxin Sacs Adrenal Glands Warp Blast and Living ammo, then had 2 Heavy Carnifexs setup mostly same way. All this meant some serious shooting that was pointed mostly at my Terminators. I made alot of saves and still only lost 2 even with my runic charms. The other major loss was my sniper scout all 4 died to one Elite Carnifex. He held back one of his his 2 hive tyrants and one of the 3 heavy Carnifexs all the other moved forward. My DP dropped near the forward left objective and deviated to the right. Which was right next to a Carnifex and Hive Tryant, no worries friends for they put 2 wounds on that bad boy and drew the hive tyrant's attention. My vindicator preditor RB and AB put 3 wounds on the most forward Carnifex. http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/GT-8-1.jpg Turn 2. Saw the whole front tyranid line move forward 2 of the 4 Genestealers scuttled in from of course my edge, one headed toward my Rhino the other moved 12 inches away from the upper left objective. ' http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/GT-6.jpg http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/GT-7.jpg The hive tryant first shot at my DP GH unit took out. More shooting at my AB, Vindicator, but mostly at my Terminators for which I loss another one. One of the Genestealers units assulted my Rhino which I mostly planned for and immobalized it. He assulted my terminators with the ripper storm which had taken some damage from whirlwind and shooting from Rhino's SBs.. I easily killed them and consolidated forward toward my DP pack. who were starting to feel the pressure of being assulted by both a Hive Tyrant and Heavy Carnifex. My brave WGBL made 3 involn saves and in turn caused 2 more wounds to finish off the hive Tryant WOOT! http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/GT-9.jpg I mostly held my position, just moved slightly for cover and to get angles on my targerts, my Rhino GH squad deployed around the Genestealers. My shooting was somewhat off, but I did manage to kill all the genestealers that assulted the Rhino. took out the Carnifex that had already suffered 2 wounds as well as caused some wounds on another of the elite Carnifex. My terminators assulted the Carnifex that moved to intercept them from helping in the DP assult. He however fell to my chainfist after that attack I was down to just my WGBL in terminator armor. Turn 3 he was able to bring in the other 2 Genesteals, these came in on his side and moved toward the far objective in his deployment zone. we had less than 30 mintures to go at this point in the game and things started happening fast. I was able to pin the genestealer he had hiding behind cover and they were not able to move forward. I ended up holding 2 objectives he had 1, I doubled his number and received full points.
