Warstore Weekend Game 5: Jorge's Blood Angels

So after my tumble from the top of the rankings I thought, no more mephiston and his Blood Angel pack for me. Alas it was not to be, Jorge a friend of my first opponent Dan was also using the ultimate space vampire with a another shifted blood angel list.

Warstore Weekend Game 4: The Champ's Angels

Game 4 turned out to be my title bout. Against Blood Angels again, this time commanded by Dimitry from Russia. HIs list was a nice mixed bag of effective unit choices. Mephiston once again highlighted the list. Along side a regular Librarian with the shield power, an elite Chaplain leading the Death Company in a Land Raider, a Sanguinary Priest leading an Assault Squad with dual meltas and a second such Assault Squad. He also had 2 Baal Predators and 2 Auto cannon/Las cannon Predators.

Warstore Weekend Game 3: Mike's Blood Angels

So the next three battle reports are all similar in a few ways. One, they all involve Blood Angels opponents and 2, they all involve Mephiston. Now let me say that while the lord of death may not be broken, there are some fairly common things that counter him easily, be they plasma kitted IG squads, or TH/SS Terminators. However Mephiston isa very capable counter to some of my lists strengths(the Dreadnoughts), and I dont have a very effective counter measure for the beast.

Well Game 3 had me paired up against one of the 7 or so Blood Angelplayers in the field... considering the field was 20 thats a pretty high percentage. In fact going into the round the score sheet read Me at the top, followed by 5 of those BA players, and tops of them so far was Mike.

Learning about this whole Blogging thing!

I just figured out how a simple line of html code can let me really clean up my main page, by embedding the majority of my post after a read more click.

Im really excited about how this makes the blog a lot more navigable!

Sorry that has nothing to do with warhammer in the slightest... but it sure pumped me up.

At least 1 more battle report should be coming up later tonight, this time embedded from the get go.

Warstore Weekend Game 2: Another Dan? Black Templars

So look up at the standings and find myself in first place after round 1, Woohoo. And matched up one point behind me is a Black Templar player. Felt really good to see two "older" marine books up top in a field filled with 7 Blood angels and a few Space Wolves as well.

Warstore Weekend Game 1:Dan's IG

Ok so round 1 of my bootleg battle reports. Thought they came out pretty decent with powerpoint slides. Not as technically perfect as the vassal ones I could do on the old computer, but alas I dont have it on my mac.

Game 1 was against Dan, from ten inch template the blog you can find to the right on my list. He is an amazing painter and great guy. He tells me he isnt the most competitive of players but is far from bad and using the Ig codex means he starts with a strong versatile base for each of his games.

The Warstore Weekend!

So this past weekend (oct. 22-24) was the Warstore's first annual convention with accompanying tournaments in a few game systems. My friend Bob and I entered the 5 game Warhammer 40k event, he with his Dark Eldar, and I with my Salamanders.

My list was as follows:

Vulkan - 190 Master of the Forge - combi flamer - 110 Tactical Squad - flamer, multimelta, power weapon, drop pod - 220 Scout Squad - 2x combi melta, shotguns, cammo cloaks - 110 Scout Squad - 2x combi melta, shot guns, cammo cloaks - 110 Ironclad Dreadnought - heavy flamer, heavy flamer, 2 hunter killer missiles, drop pod - 205 Ironclad Dreadnought - heavy flamer, heavy flamer, 2 hunter killer missiles, drop pod - 205 Ironclad Dreadnought - melta gun, heavy flamer, 2 hunter killer missiles, drop pod - 200 Ironclad Dreadnought - melta gun, heavy flamer, 2 hunter killer missiles, drop pod - 200 Dreadnought - twin linked auto cannon, assault cannon, drop pod - 160 Dreadnought - twin linked auto cannon, assault cannon, drop pod - 160 Land Speeder Storm - multimelta - 65 Land Speeder Storm - multimelta - 65 Ran hot for the first 2 games, drew the third, and lost the fourth before finishing up with a nice victory. So 3-1-1 and edged out some good players for 3rd place overall. Also took home Best Sportsman which was an awesome accolade as I played a bunch of great guys over the two days. So while I didnt have a camera at the event I'm going to try and draw up some battle reports to show how things went. Hopefully Ill have those up soon, as well as some pictures of my army.
