Well, Anoka was fun.


First: the winners, Eldar, I Gard and Templars (3, 2, 1 in that order)


I took the tyranids and at least did not EPIC FAIL. I did get a loss, a massacre, and a loss, but the games were fun.
Round 1 against Eldar: He had a ton of weird tank transports and Eldred (whatever) and some walker dudes and an avatar thingy. I had a lot of nids. We kind of met in the middle and I blew up a lot of stuff, but then his tanks had guys in them and they killed a lot more of my stuff so he ended up winning. It was close. He took 3rd, by the way.

Round 2 against Tyranids: He was a good player and it was hot Tyranid on Tyranid action. Normally, that's pay per view stuff. I know because I accidentally rented that at a hotel three times onces. Anyways, He waaaaaay over extended in the dawn of war and then didn't kill much with his hormagaunts. I counter charged with stuff and we fought a lot and I got the objectives and then he was mostly dead so it was a Massacre.

Round 3 against Space Wolves. We just charged and died and charged again and died and charged again and died. he killed my last troop and had one guy left on the center so he got a major victory and that was that.

I hope those detailed battle reports make it seem as if you were there in the room with us!

Blaz - 14 of 2X (at least I made the teens)

It did, actually.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I stopped in at the end of round two to say hi to a couple of people and saw the end of your Nid on Nid battle. Did you have the black nids or the other army?

Hope you didn't get caught in the storms last night!!

I had red nid army that included ultramarines. The other guy had the black/blue nids that did not include ultramarines. He's a good player but it was a revenge round for me from the pre-lims. He pantsed me in pre-lims and I got the drop on him here.

The pics happen in your mind.... its like a campfire story or a radio show.

I feel your pain with the Eldar situation lol. When fighting Eldar and Dark Eldar, it took me forever to get the right tactics down. those squishies are really hard to get into CC lol. Basically, they only have armor 12, but are fast. So I use lots of med str weapons like lootas (cause I'm ork) but I'm sure you nids have some sort of med str fire you can loose downrange. Heck I've seen sealers take out a land raider in CC cause of the rending so maybe that's the way to go. Once you take out the Eldar's legs, they are REALLY easy to mop up
