A while ago, ToyWiz held its first tournament and it was very fun and I am looking forward to more. There were 12 players 4 of which were guard (2 Armoured Companies) and only one beakie list. I took my Bad Moon Orks and they did as well as I expected, I could not have asked for more except for more time you will see why later. I ran this list Warboss- 128 Mega Armour Mega Boosta Cybork body Kustom Mega Blasta 3 Ammo Runts Big Horns X2 12 Flash Gitz- 155 4 rokkits nob rokkit choppa gob X2 12 Flash Gitz- 171 4 Big Shootas nob bs choppa gob X2 16 Grots- 70 Slaver squigghound rokkit 16 Slugga Boyz- 195 3 rokkit Launchas nob Power klaw 10 Burna Boyz- 142 4 burnas mek kff mek tools choppa X2 8 Trukk boyz- 114 nob gob power klaw X2 Wartrukk- 45 rokkit grot riggers Red paint Job Plates 3 Killa Kanz- 150 plates rokkits Looted Basilisk- 125 Indirect Fire Game 1 vs. Sean's Biel Tan panzee- Unplanned Assault Mission- Everyone but two compulsory Troops started off the board and came on as reserves. And on turn 3 we would roll for mission, also it had a weird 18 inch deployment diagonal line. His list Farseer I don't know what was on him 9 Banshhes I don't know Wave serpent Bright Lance X3 5 Dark Reapers exarch crack shot X2 9 Guardians starcannon warlock conceal 8 Warp Spiders Exarch Additional Spinner Vyper starcannon 2 Warwalkers 2 scatter lasers 2 lances Falcon holofield stones bright Lance Game This was pretty easy for me, I started with the two bs git squads (i had to) and he took a reaper squad and the banshees. It was on a city fight board so I had plenty of cover and got turn 1. Turn 1 I let loose the big shootas at the reapers in the bunker and the puny pansies took three casualties and fled the board, his return fire had me pass my cover save. This was how the game went pretty much the entire game as I got all my units by turn 3. One trukk managed to run up the flank and after the trukk survived the spider barrage they were massacred in assault and I hid with them. He had few unitsso they were all very close and since he had to move so much I only lost the bassie, 2 trukks and half a rokkit git squad. My Warboss whooped ass taking out both reaper squads with his gun while the big shootas took down the light vehicles and the rokkits shook the heaviervehicles. We ended up playing for VP and I had near 1000 and he did not even have 300. Victory to the Orks! I received 17 Points and he received 6. Sean was an awesome opponent, no rules disputes and a pretty cool army. We both got full comp, paint and sports from each other. Game 2 vs. Vinny's Deathguard (Damn) Cleanse II (Even more Damn) As you can tell I do not like Deathguard or cleanse. Especially since my army, who is great at VP Denial was playing in a game with that weird deployment and no victory points. And to add insult to annoyance, Vinny is an accomplished Warmonger. His list Great Unclean One Lord flying mutation manreaper aura Nurgle infiltrate 7 Chosen Plague Beakies champion fist mutation champion chains rhino mutated hull smoke armour X3 7 plaguebearers 7 Plague Beakies 2 meltaguns power fisted champ Rhino armour smoke X2 7 plague Beakies infiltrate 2 plasma guns champ fists Predator Autocannon Heavy Bolters Predator Lascannons Game I got first turn and that was very good, but my first two turns shooting wielde very bad results all I took out was an infiltrating squad, 2 plague Beakies and the autocannon predator, I really needed to get the rhinos and the turning point of the game was after he moved his rhino up 12 inches, and I assaulted it with 2 kanz and the boss, That is 12 S10 attacks, and hitonce and I already knew it, I rolled a one to glance on a mutated hull Rhino, this was my turn 2 (I hate my dice). His turn 2 the Greater Daemon pops up aand charges my warboss and does no wounds and as do I, His lord charges the grots kills all in the kill zone, can't reach a unit and flies back and waits to die (which he does). The rest of the game is spent on charging and counter charging units. All he is left with is 2 squads of 3 Plaguebearers, a squad of 7, The Great unclean One (one damn wound left), Lascannon predatrorand 4 plague Beakies. I have my basilisk, both big shoota squads, one full and one half rokkit squad and one grot squad. This is at the end of turn 4 (end of the game) and he still had 623 victory points and I had 847 but he had 3 table quarters to my one. If the game had gone on the full six turns, we both agree I would have had the advantage after all he was new to Nurgle andwas better with his panzee. 6- 16 loss. Atleast I lost to a Warmonger and again full scores on both sides. Game 3 vs. Jeff's Drop Pod Beakies, Suicide Squad The battle was straight up VP with normal Depoloyment but you pick a squad to die, this squad is fearless and hits enemies on threes. If it dies the owner gets +150 VP, if it lives its -150. My squad was a rokkit git squad his was his dread His list all mounted in pods Codicier Fear of the Darkness terminator honors 7 Beakies, command squad melta plasma p fist champ Dread venerable heavy flamer X2 5 Terminators One squad with AC and Cyclone, another with 2 ACs X2 10 Tac Beakies melta plamsa vet X2 10 Tac Beakies melta Plasma vet p fist X2 Landspeeder multimelta Game This one was also pretty easy, he was also beat by Nurgle although he should not have. I castled with my grots, trucks, and kanz on the outside, as his army came in piecemeal, my army killed them piecemeal. My warboss blasted away 6 Beakies, a land speeder's multi melta and 4 Terminators with shooting alone. He only killed a truck boy squad (that mobbed up), a grot squad, and a rokkit git squad the non suicide one. One tac squad was shot down, another was killed by burna boyz, another by trukkboyz and another was brought to 4 by bs gitz in assault. The librarian squad was wiped out by slugga boyz and I popped two drop pods. The dread did not even come in because the game was also ended turn 4. Another Victory to the Orks. 16- 5 Win to Orks Reviewing units: Warboss- Best Man of the Tourney for me, He put 3 wounds on papa nurgle and blasted a lot of things with his kustom mega blasta- A BS Flash Gitz- awesome, absolutely, even against the Beakies, the number of shots they got off were great and they were ignored cause of their awesome range, not one unit of them was brought under half in any game- A- Rokkit Gitz- Definetely a dissapointment, half of my to wound rolls were ones and they did not do enough tank busting. I might look into getting something else but I will give them more chances- C- Grots- one of my favorite units and were great I could not do without them- B+ Slugga Boyz- Perfect but their shooting was lacking (I don't think I hit even twice with their rokkits). But their combat was great- B+ Burna Boyz- another dissapointment, all they did really was provide little ccover- C Trukk boyz- I could have played them much better than I did against the Deathguard. but they were great- B- Kanz-Fantastic, period- A- Basilisk- Great, but I wish it was more accurate when I needed it to be- B- I had great time and finished 3rd . Best Painted was Vinny's Nurgle, Best Sportsmanship went to Dave who I believe had Necrons, The best General was Scott's Iron Warrior's who beat two Armoured Companies and the Deathguard. The best overall however because of soft scores was Pete (also a warmonger) with his Armoured Company with allied Sisters. Hope you enjoyed the report.

I heart SYR 8766
For all your bravado, if the US Army decided to invade, Wisconsin is it?, in force supported by a heavy bombing campaign for the month before, weeks of shelling from battleships on Lake Superior, and a full tank thrust (crushing the cows beneath the treads), I don't think that your .22 is going to make much of a difference really...

At some point these sorts of decision-making skills lump you into the same camp as the Lehman Brothers, the White Star Line shipping company, and mothers who smoke during pregnancy. ---Sour Clams |
