Kassill's hobby and event journey

[Kassill]

Not a huge update, slumbered the summer away despite our range refresh the brain did not make good juice for a bit... Getting that itch again though so got a bunch of terminators, characters and some headtakers on the table now. Did airbrushing earlier this week and armor washes tonight. RTT on the 18th I'm hoping to go to (auto paint score but I at least want as much ready as possible for my own sanity of not playing with grey plastic!!)

weekend rtt was uh, something. all great opponents just some rough matchups. Stormlance can be fun but really no way to punch up when you need it outside of a few shooting pieces and Bjorn's melee. Even lance on the cav didn't do much and to me they still just die to quickly under weight of dice or D4 (riptides and knights) and mass D2 (redeemers). 

Tau had a lot of heavy armor in riptides, hammerheads, ghostkeels and crisis suits. Arjac activated twice into a hammerhead and did zero damage... 

Black Templars had 2x Redeemers and a Repex. I killed almost all of the marine bodies but got shot to hell and back while doing so

Imperial Knights...I just don't like knights mechanically. Visually dope :cuss: but they always blow me out of the water. I managed to kill 2 big knights with terminator brick and headtakers but the third big and 5 smalls basically tabled me

Well I went to my last GT for 10th and had about the same experience I've had most of this edition...  0-3 day one and dropped and drove home. All great opponents and good event I just couldn't take another day getting my teeth kicked in you know?

-Arjac

-Wolf Priest
-ten WG terms

-five WG terms

-six Headtakers

-five fenrisian wolves

-scout squad

-intercessors

-2x5 JPI

-2x Lancers

-Vindicator

 

 

Round 1 CSM Renegade Raiders, lost 59-65- msu corsairs/legionares, rhinos, havocs, predators, disco lord and Huron with the gang that punked Logan last turn pretty well. painful stuff. 5 corsairs held up a lancer on the far left for multiple turns, Arjac terminator brick made it on to his home obj after a rapid ingress but then got mogged by juiced up chaos lord and gang. I don't play a lot of csm so wasn't really sure what or how to approach this one other than full send it. Headtakers did smack the disco lord pretty good so that was neat I guess. 

Round 2 Death Guard VV, lost 64-81 - 6 man deathshroud with Typhus, 2x3 deathshroud with a guy (idr name), predators, blight haulers, drones, poxes. He said he normally plays a different detachment and just wanted to do something different. This game was just terminators and DS knocking heads for infinity fights that went no where while my tanks got mogged by his armor. We basically swapped home objectives last turn with Deathshroud getting on to mine and Arjac and a few remnant terms managing to finally emerge from the infinity fight and advance on to his. 

Round 3 SM Shadowmark Talon, lost 60-81 - both bird boys, inceptors, jpi, bgv brick with hunters instinct, predators, balli, speeder and a land raider. BGV brick did our old stormlance trick of coming in a turn early and making it onto my home objective and holding up Logan and Bjorn for 2 turns after they mucked up my intercessors and a squad of jpi. The invuls were insane... Arjac and his boys came down on my natural expansion and multi charged shryke + jpi and some inceptors. Once again, invuls were insane, Arjac did 3 whole damage to shryke who in turn clawed his eyes out and left him a ruined pile... Inceptors didn't lose a single model, used a strat to fall back and blew away 7 terminators with good Oath of Moment. His tanks did tank things and mine folded.

That is a rough experience sorry man

 

I always take infiltrators so I don't have to worry about the shenanigans you faced
