Had 2 games despite very low calorie diet(max 800kcal a day). Opponent had planned to bring khorne so had made lists more casual(particularly stormcast). Then for good reason he had to bring lumineth so was caught flat footed. And due to diet didn't want to pack these and unpack new army...

First game went okay casualty wise(took out teclis giving just 1 turn for him and wardens were dealt okay) but places of arcane power sucked for me. Loreseeker locked one objective, wardens put in wall for a while for 1 and he sniped my heroes fast. Loreseeker with -1 to hit and 2+ save before aetherquarts was also invulnerable.

Fec on focal points was over after round 1. Went too aggressive, he shot one terrorgheist, cleared flayers(battleshock was bad) and syar command ability locked one terrorgheist to die unable to do anything.

2 more games. Seraphon vs ogre. Went to melee too gung-ho, ogres counting as 2 and last turn shooting failing to kill 3 gluttons not even 1...) meant he would win 20-18 at best.
Then we played ogre vs ogre scenario from battletome. Quick game that ended in usurper(me) win.

It was a small 3v3 team tourney at Pete's house:


He insisted we use a pre-Rogue Trader ruleset, but he wouldnt let anyone take a peek at it, we just had to go on "my says so". Imperious prick.


He rules lawyered the whole damned game! So help me God, he whipped out field glasses to ascertain if units in melee were in range. THE MODELS WERE TOUCHING!!


His team consisted of some annoying asthmatic jock and some AV club soy boy. The ENTIRE tournament it was "who's your daddy" whenever Muscle Boy moved. I think it was part of their plan as it broke my concentration when it was our turn:


I had these two cosplaying dolts: Lord FouFou and Red Rider. They insisted in lining their troops in long, long lines. Always. Her only redeeming quality was her form fitting riding pants.


3/4s into the game, Pete demanded that time was up, pulled a moth eaten ribbon from the corner curio, donned it about his neck and declared himself victor. Cheating bastard!


Cant wait to play them again!

Restrictions eased up so flgs opened gaming area. 2 pairs playing and my opponent got 2nd game after we were done.

My 2nd game of 40k this year(january-february too busy tuesdays, then gaming venue closed). 1.5k sisters vs orks. Forgot tons of things but after 3rd round he had no model left. 82(unpainted) vs 42(painted).

Lumineth vs seraphon. 1.5k, better part of valour.

Tough game and ended round 3 as 3 battleshock tests gave 5+ sow2pike and archer unit ran away leaving me with 5 bladelords(my only scoring unit) and severith with 0-6 deficit on vp's. Mathematically impossible to win as max i could score was 2.

Charge of skinks(in picture) didn't go well though. I went "huh?" When he charged especially as i had earlier explained how they work. 5 guys pumped up 40 attacks. 15 dead skinks and last 2 ran in morale phase.

First lotr game since game venue opened. My opponent very rusty and his luck was horrible so got a rare win vs him. 800 pts my isengard vs his arnor. 4-1 win in assasination. His only vp was when my crossbow guy hit vrasku(crossbow named hero) and wounded him...the assasination target he had picked secretly. Whoops.

Got in a game of Warcaster last week, and our first test of Black Seas this weekend. At least until the kids came back from ogling sheep and became a threat to our borrowed ships.

I spent much of the night doing table setup and helping out new players so i didn't get much in the way of gaming in other than a demo game of DUST

We also had demo games of heavy gear, and spectre ops going on as well-

The spectre battle-

Sisters vs 32 model necron force. Vault, void dragon, night bringer, imhotek, 5 immortals, some crypteks, loads of scarab.

Deployed like idiot, didn't get t1 which punished deployment, long bomb charge tied up melta immortal, t1 just 11 wounds to vault with 10 multi melta shot(+1 dam and 6 miracle dice) and 9 scarabs(immolator flamer, 3 morties shooting and fight twice and still nearly survived). After his t2 all immolators dead and rets dead or in melee. No way to get objectives so we called it there.

21-21 tie all monster seraphon vs slaves to darkness(places of arcane power) . Total massacre casualty wise(3w left sorcerer lord on manticore sole survivor vs 6 surviving lizards) but objectives is how you win. Odds were on my favour after t2 double but he did what needed to be done and kept winning chances all the way to t4. And got enough to tie up.

Finally, after 2 months of painting I played my first game of A Song Of Ice And Fire.

It seems to be quite good. Interesting what an experienced board game designer (Eric Lang - Blood Rage, WH:Invasion, The Others) can do with the miniature wargame genre. The game feels so fresh, quick, modern. It offers cool options at every turn, yet resolution is lightning fast. GW games feel such tedious chores in comparison.

I'm glad I bought into it.

Teaching more of the old ways. a new player who was a bit less than impressed with his games of 9th ed broke out his tau (with some proxies to try out r'myr and r'alai and the regular crisis suits being broadsides) for some 5th ed actions. we did 2 games one against my admech that ended in a tie with both of us holding 2 of 5 objectives with 1 contested and linebreaker as well as fist blood countering the tie breaker.


This was the start of the game



The next match was against an iron warriors player with a single center objective that could be moved 6" a turn.





This table was originally set up for infinity, but we never got to it. it got used for a heavy gear battle instead so a little out of scale but it still worked.

Played another Combat Patrol Game (500 points). This time against my friends newly painted Necrons. Another fun game using the 9th Edition rules. I uses the DE's mobility to grab objectives while he used the Necrons resiliency to hold others. Still enjoying 9th and hoping to start getting some bigger games in soon.

Necron vs dark angels 1500. 10 pts loss without painting scores, draw with it. Got units wiped each turn preventing reaching his objectives. Scenario very kind for gunline.

Wow... that's a lot of big empty space on that board. That can't've been great.

If you enjoy ASOIAF you will also enjoy Star Wars Legion. Has similar gameplay. I've sold out of Warhammer in favor of these two games.

While I know that it may be a mechanically sound system, I'm not interested in Legion. I dislike the setting, in my opinion it's bland and infantile. Also for me variety is the spice of wargaming, so I'd rather not play a game with just 2-3 factions. Thanks for the recommendation, though!

Khorne vs soulblight. New armies for both.

Zombies and skeletons were infuriating. Named dragon riding vampire one-shotted soul grinder with just lance. Screwed up with foot heroes and made horrible charge to zombies from which pictures are. Before charge, after charge. Even after my kills more zombies than what there were pre-charge...

Introducing new player to the lotr.

He actually did win fair and square. Was looking grim but late game priority rolls to him, elven courage failing and losing shooting war with elves vs lower count of orc bows sucked...
