I am sure he will be along shortly to correct any mistakes

here is power points

o_o how to use this?

You use the "Insert Shape" option on Powerpoint. it has tons of stuff. you then click Insert Text Box and click of the shape to give it a name.

to make the next slide, click the New Slide arrow and click Copy selected slide. it will create a new slide identical to the first which you can edit further to show progression.

It says 0 downloads >.< maybe everyone also dunno how to use it.

How about turn it into youtube movie xD

I am not sure how to do that. You should just have to have Power point on the computer.

I'll try and get the slides into a Photo format and repost them in succession.

I'm sure your file is safe, but people are often reluctant to download random files (for good reason).

I use powerpoint as well- you can save the entire show as a series of pictures, then upload those to your own Dakka Gallery and post them in the body of the report. A little more time intensive perhaps, but I guarantee more people will take a gander!

Well if people are worried about that why didn't people tell me

Edit: I can't seem to figure out how to make the slides into pictures, but I am taking a computer class and the Power Point section is coming up in a couple of weeks. I'll repost the Bat rep then.

Of course when you won a game, you'd make a battle report out of it!
It was a good game though, I just can't roll crap for melee.

Between this and ardboyz semi, I think I need to figure out a way for my lizards to take on monsters and monstrous infantry. Well, I didnt bring half of my skinks that day, but even at ardboyz when I have almost more than twice as many skinks, they didnt do quite enough. Maybe I should start taking lore of shadow!

Where is this insert shape btw?

Nice nice.

From the looks of it iron blaster and mournfangs are worth taking.

Report was quick and the slide show was nice not too much reading but still got the point across nice.

I made a PDF of the report (attached below), which most people should be able to open. Haven't buzzed through it yet but it certainly looks groovy

Ooo, thanks

I just figured out how to make it a PDF. still working on screenshots.

What? We didnt take any!?

I is da





not really, i meant making the slides into picture form so I can post them.

You definately missed a turn there....
How did I lose 11 PD and still cast spells? (After I already casted one?)
And if I recall correctly, the Salamander held that unit of Ogres for a turn.
(We tied combat, I lost by you having a mus, then they stayed thanks to LD10 Cold Blooded.)

@Jackster
Is the army list Grey Templar posted correct? If so, then why are you not taking The Focused Rumination on your Slann Mage-Priest? Also, you cannot take more than 2 units of Salamanders as they are Rare choices, so three solo ones is illegal.

I can't recall if he had Rumination, but he might have.

Of course I do, he didnt mention it.
My mistake on the Sally, I really just took my 3k list and drop 500 pts worth of stuff that day. (Well, I didnt expect to play that day due to some kind of convention at our LGS, I woke up at 12 to find GT texted me 5 times... )

What version of Powerpoint are you using? I use the 2007 version, and to make a Gif that you can upload you go to "Save As" > Other Format. Under "Save as Type" select GIF. You'll be prompted to convert the entire powerpoint deck, or just the current slide (select current slide).

Select the next slide and then repeat the process.

For whatever it's worth, I found the Powerpoint format perfectly comprehensible and fun to read.

Nifty!

Wish my Kroxigors could manage to accomplish anything in a game like that...

Liked the report format.

I may have to steal it when I forget my camera.


I could be wrong, but it looked like you moved your mournfang cav on your left flank and then did a swift reform. If so, that is incorrect.

I figured out there was a turn that I forgot to include so thats why it looks lik the MFC swift reformed at the end of the movement phase.

Agreed
