treadhead Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 YITHI Took a variation on my gk list out for a stroll and beat one of the tau players at my local gaming group 7-10, The game was called during the middle of turn 5, Due to time and no way of beating the score. All in all a good fun game with plenty of tense moments, key dice rolls spinning inordinately longly, great ideas and screw ups on both sides, This was the second time I've fought this guys tau and both times commander far sight got introduced to Draigo's titan sword. Side note: Paladin's are such a useful unit for the grey knights (imo) fire magnet / fire base and a beat stick all in one, I was glad I fielded a ten man unit of them Now all I need to do is work out a counter for the flying circus of tyranids with the gk and I'm golden Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/200/#findComment-4536705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr3Mu5 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 YITH I took a new Ultramarines list out to see how it coped in our FLGS's current campaign. What a great game versus a chaos space marine player who despite being shot off the board bar half a squad of havocs and 3 cultists gave me a real close run game. Both of us played 1k CAD lists and with surprisingly very similar amounts of power armour, terminator armour and vehicles he took objectives early and held on for dear life as I shifted to one flank and rolled up the table to take his army out bit by bit. With some horrendous rolling on my opponents end (he seems to have a talent for rolling ones) I managed to win by a point with my assault Marines consolidating out of combat into his DZ for linebreaker.

Brother Sefiel Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 GreetingsSunday: Acquired cabin of crashed Aquila lander from old 40k boxed set.Monday: Horribly ill.Tuesday: Loyalist force in team game horribly battered 12-17 by chaos scum in 5 turns of Maelstrom mission 4 (might have pulled it back if we'd had more time, but, then, might have been thrashed even worse, I suppose). We had to set up without much cover against a force that included two Leman Russes, and about 900 points of our stuff (out of 3000) were in reserve (including my terminators, who mishapped, albeit only back into Ongoing). My Deathwatch men beat up a couple of tanks as well as a bunch of infantry goons and a Helbrute (thanks to some heroic meat-shielding, er, I mean, distraction tactics from Blood Angel allies). Lone Wolves did some killing (but also some dying) and while the Excelsior was useful as usual, the Primaris was popped on turn 2 by an enemy flyer. Not the force I would have chosen for this opposition normally, but I thought we were doing a re-run of the previous game v dark eldar...

SickSix Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Last night I changed out the table I was using for a real desk. And then put some paint on some DV tacticals. Felt really good to get back at it. Looking forward to finishing my first unit of tacticals for my Dark Swords.

Soldier of Dorn Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Last night in the hobby I tried out the new Valhallan Blizzard texture paint. It's pretty good, in my opinion. Not the end-all, be-all for basing snow (is there even such a thing) but definitely a good option for it.

Brother Sefiel Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) GreetingsWorked on paint job and internals for the crashed Aquila lander I acquired a little while back.Broken pilot? Check.Instrument panel? Check.Hatch and internal bulkheads? Check.Feeling fairly pleased with myself (but it doesn't make up for not having an actual Aquila, which I could have done a few years back).Also started to assemble a Goliath and played a couple of games with a nonsense army - 1k Champions of Fenris, battleforged. Plan was to infiltrate scouts in order to hold objectives. More difficult when you have no cover.Command tanks (necessary to counter flyers, and the Excelsior had Legacy of Keylek from IA2 second edition) and four squads of Space Wolf Scouts, all with at least one additional man. Three were led by Wolf Guard chaps, one of whom was the warlord. One squad had plenty of plasma, several had power weapons, one a combi-melta and meltagun, and one cameleoline, some sniper rifles and a missile launcher.First game was against tyranids. Apparently a flying hive tyrant is less effective when it zooms over to your lines into the mouth of a BS5 grav cannon with Ignores Cover. Opponent gave up when I destroyed his carnifex after it failed to beat up the Land Raider in close combat. He had three or four more victory points, but I was about to smash what was left of his force.Second was against Khorne Daemonkin. Slightly lucky to not take a big hit to the Primaris turn one after he stole the initiative but all good. My turn sees me do one hull point to his maulerfiend with my melta scouts, to be followed up by the Excelsior with the grav. Three hits at BS5. No glances with first rolls. No glances with re-rolls. No damage from four plasma shots (except to my own man).After this utterly critical fail, he goes on to smash my army into bits, starting with the Land Raider (four hits, four penetrates, no saves). I could give more detail, but it was a bit sickening. Turns out that the other guy he played gave up after turn two (I stopped at the end of my turn four, so I felt a bit better about it, but not much).
