I've pretty much given up taking tournaments seriously because of armies like that, when they're so far outside of what I want to play and practically invincible against what I do play that there's no joy and little point in trying to compete with them. It's a bizarre situation where it looks like a game, it sounds like a game, but it's not a game - it's a soulless, hour-long interlude of dice-rolling before you can get back to the parts of your life that actually have meaning.

That aside, thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your battle reports, and your blog in general.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8750082.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8750082.page GMT Battle Report 64- 1850 pts White Scars vs Space Marines

Cheers, much appreciated!

Yeah, those sort of games are a bit disheartening. I did know what I was in for before we started playing, but it still doesn't make it any more fun. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8750124.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8750124.page GMT Battle Report 64- 1850 pts White Scars vs Space Marines
I got tabled on the top of turn three, having killed one squad of Horrors and a few miscellaneous models. It was just a strange experience and honestly I don't know what I should do against armies and opponents like that. I have no interest in playing or collecting the kinds of armies that can compete on that level so I don't know where that leaves me. Should I just stop going to tournaments? Should I keep on going and hope to avoid bad matches and place on occasion, like I have been? It's all very odd, like these armies exist apart from what I consider 'real' 40K and yet somehow render all of my experiences and efforts invalid.

Anyway, sorry for the philosophizing, but the insane skew armies are a problem I've wrestled with but have yet to make peace with.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8751114.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8751114.page GMT Re:Battle Report 64- 1850 pts White Scars vs Space Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8751580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8751580.page GMT Battle Report 64- 1850 pts White Scars vs Space Marines
The problem is that I'm very glad I brought that list when I get my next round opponent of 4 riptides with marker light drones and 50 spawned pirahna drones. He cleared 200 shots at me in one turn. If my screamer star had only had a 2+ with no re-rolls, he would have obliterated it.

A 2+ invul!

So I agree with you, the game is a little silly now. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8772545.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695242/8772545.page GMT
