Game One

Game one of “tale of (what turned out to be) 8 gamers” was a massive 8 way 5 objective game on two boards with a tunnel connecting them. The story was that a warp storm has disrupted the space travel of our armies and caused the planets deference lasers to fire at random leaving all of our forces to make an emergence landing, represented by deep strike in a randomly determined location. The objectives represented five vital instillations on the planet that would give bonuses in the next game.

My orkz landed in the centre of the board, close to Stumpy's daemons and the HQ bastion objective. He sent his pink horrors and herald into the bastion and down the tunnel to the other table with the planetary defence controls. I sent the boyz in after them but didn't count on the ranged attacks of the pink horrors (come on, they don't even have a ranged weapon on the model :p) and lost most of my boys. I did get into combat but got bogged down and my Warboss on bike (wasn't allowed to use him as Wazzdakka in the first game) had to bail them out, which he did with ease. This left me as the sole army on the second table, poised to seize the planetary deference controls. Alas, before I could make the most of this Carl's Tau turned up and his fire warriors took out the remainder of my force. I did still have the truck but that was really me out of the game. In the end only three army's survived, Jonny's Grey Knights, Kyle's Necrons, and Sam's, Dark Eldar, with Jonny and Kyle holding one objective each

Even though I didn't do well in the game I had great fun got a really good feel for the campaign and quite frankly I can't wait for the next month.

P.S. Sorry for the lack of photo's, I forgot my camera. Next blog will have pics.
