Month 2. Just Killin' and lootin'

Hi every one, I'm back with more of my tale of (about 8 but it keeps changing) gamers blog. My only purchase for this month was a truck giving me £8.50 saved for next time and more importantly enough transport for all the boyz in the battle force. I've built and painted this one a bit differently from the last one cos I don't think any self respecting Mek is going to built exactly the same thing twice.. As for the boyz, this time there just standard boyz but I've given then a nice Evil Sunz feel by giving some of them things like drive shafts and gear chains from the bikaz sprue instead of choppaz. That gives me 20 boyz in 2 trukkz and a boss on bike (not allowed to use him as wazzdakka till next month) at 500pts.


As for the game it's self, it was 8 players on a 4 foot by 12 foot monster of a board. The objective was to get from one end to the other, and get the uplink devise, (which jonny got to start with for winning the last game) and use it to take control of the power plant. Units could deep strike but the closer they got to the objective the more dice they has to roll for scatter. Thanks to rules that allow reduction to deep strike scatter and the shear length of the table, only really jonny's grey knights and kyles blood angles (he switched army last month, thus lost his uplink devise) had a chance and the rest of us fought over the various buildings down end we started on, each of which had hidden stuff in it (some good, some bad). My orkz had a great time killing a imperial guard command squad, three infantry squads, a lord commissar, half a unit of pink horrors and a 200point daemon prince of Tzeench and looting a suit of power armour, a jet bike and a daemon hammer to use in the next game. We also, through some wheeling a dealing with our dark eldar “allies” gained control of the planetary defence bastion objective from last month. Kyle eventualy won, with Commander Dante and sanguinery guard being perfectly suited to the misson.

So I may not have won but I had fun and got a few bonuses for next month. The campaign now splits into two groups of four for a few weeks, so I'll be up against Jonny, Kyle and Carl, should be some intense gaming with a good bunch of guys and some seriously tough armys.

In other news me and Carl are entering the double tournament a GW Colchester tomorrow. He's using his new grey knights and I've gone for a vastly changed salamander list from the last time I played double. We should be pretty competitive and will let you know how it goes.
