Is that... Rorschach?

And believe me, the magnets are very, very powerful. It is physically difficult to remove the Knight from a surface!

Derp derp. I just realised that song came out in maybe 2009... No wonder there's a cultural reference that went off-pitch.

No, it's a sanitised version of an oooold meme about this very sweet, very silly song from Insane Clown Posse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs (SFW visually but has swearing)
They have a reputation for being an extremely bloodthirsty shock rap duo, so having a song that involved Pelicans stealing cell-phones and magnet-based curiosity garnered both confusion, and people assuming they were acutely stupid.
Personally I find it good fun, and I think that's the spirit it was intended.

The Meme is "Fethin' Magnets, how do they work?"

Somehow I assosciated that with Watchmen, and then with SCP-173. I then realized that that looks nothing like Rorschach.

Thank you for the explanation, that was a bit puzzling!

I'd write up a more comprehensive entry, but my Ruststalkers just died to Fire Warriors in Close Combat, and the funeral starts in 10 minutes...

So the funeral for my dignity is complete!

I just played a game against two very experienced Xenos players, and got utterly stomped. It came down to my Dominus, Ranger Alpha, and Ruststalkers being the last of my army on the board. They all charged the closest units to them. The Ranger charged a Battlesuit, and did nothing. The Dominus charged 5 Trueborn, and killed 3. The Ruststalkers charged 10 Fire Warriors, killed 2, and promply DIED!

Stupid ninja Tau...

Thraxas, yes, actually. It had a unit of Skitarii Vanguard in it, and I Dukes of Hazzard-ed it through a tiny gap so I could Haywire the Knight!

Some photos of the two games I played today. I won the first and lost the second.

My brother texted me yesterday to say "V lost Ruststalkers to a Fire Warrior."

I said "Big deal, they die easy to shooting."
He replied, "No, he lost them in CC."

Could not wrap my head around that one.

So I just played a game in Bizzaro World. My Electro-Priests got Slay The Warlord on a Jetseer in CC, and wiped a unit of Dire Avengers. It was a great game, which I won 14-13.

The measure of a true good game, is that both you and your opponent have barely anything left on the board!

Due to finally being somewhat awake and aware, here's a basic account of what happened in that game, in staggered batrep format. More updates to come.

Pregame-
Spoiler:

Warlord Traits:
Me- Princeps of Deceit
Opponent- Conqueror of Cities

Mission Setup:
Mission- Cloak and Shadows (Maelstrom of War)
I deployed and went second. Night fighting was on.


Turn 1-
Spoiler:

Opponent's Turn-
He moved up two squads of Dire Avengers onto objectives in a crater and a forest. The squad of Avengers in the middle of the board moved into LOS of my Infiltrators and shot them, doing nothing. The Wave Serpent went towards my Knight on the field's left flank, and some Howling Banshees ran onto objective 1. The Farseer fortuned the Avatar.
The Dark Reapers fired Starshot missiles at my Onager, killing it before it could shoot.
He scored Supremacy (3 Points!!), First Blood, Big Game Hunter, and one other card.
My Turn-
I moved everything up, except my Rangers, which I left on Objective 3. I popped Omniscience for rerolls. My Destroyers pulped the Avatar, and my Breachers took the Wave Serpent down. My Sicarian infiltrators shot at the central DAs, the Knight killed every Fire Dragon except the Exarch (This will be important later), and killed a Dark Reaper. I scored no points.

Turn 2-
Spoiler:

Opponent's Turn-
Basically everything sat still, except for the Shining Spears and Banshees, which moved into the right-hand flank of the board, near my Electro-Priests and Infiltrators, and onto the central objective, respectively. The Fire Dragon exarch moved around the crashed wave serpent, fired his Firepike at my Kataphron Destroyers...
And INSTAGIBBED my Tech-Priest Dominus! Cue my expression of shock and crazed laughter.
The Dark Reapers fired Starshot missiles at my Knight, dealing 2HP damage to it.

My Turn-
My Knight shot at the squad of Dire Avengers in front of it. The blast scattered back into my Ruststalkers, killing both two Ruststalkers and one Dire Avenger. The Stalkers threw a grenade at the Avengers, doing nothing. My unit of Skitarii Vanguard on the far right flank shot at some Warp Spiders camping on an objective, triggering flickerjump and doing nothing. My Electro-Priests shot at the right-field Dire Avengers, killing two(?), but failed the charge.

Note: This is the point where my memory gets fuzzy. My killcounts may not be entirely accurate.

...They're Electro-Priests. I honestly have no idea what the feth those guys are thinking.
I suppose they're dynamos?

Turn 3 coming soon.

Turn Three-
Spoiler:

Opponent's Turn-
The Dark Reapers and Crimson Hunter shot at my Knight, taking it down to 2HP. The right-hand Dire Avengers took half a wound off of a Ruststalker, the center Dire Avengers accomplished nothing, and some Striking Scorpions charged my two Sydonian Dragoons. One of the Dragoons died, at the cost of a Scorpion. This combat will last for the rest of the game, with the walkers eventually winning with 3 Scorpion kills, so I will not mention it again.
The Howling Banshees charged my Breachers, killing two. T5 is useful.

My Turn-
My Knight moved up within 2in of the Crimson Hunter, and killed it with a burst of it's Avenger Gatling Cannon. (I rolled 6 6sto hit), and killed one Dark Reaper with some weapon or another. My Infiltrators charged the center Dire Avengers and killed them. The Electro-Priests charged some jetbikes, and killed them.
Saying "feth It", I charged my Destroyers into the Banshees, losing a Breacher and killing two Banshees. My Skitarii Vanguards killed a few more Warp Spiders, and moved towards the left-hand objective. My Ruststalkers forgot to charge the right-hand Dire Avengers.

Is the board for Armies On Parade Verve?

I was not that keen on the Electro priests when they were released but your shots are encouraging me to get some

And the game seems tight at the end of turn 3.

Nice War Convocation Verv! I've always thought it would be cool to have a fully painted army (even if only tabletop standard) and display it on a nice board like that at a tournament. Someone who can not only do that but have a show-quality army is worthy of anyone's respect!

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700
