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.

  1. I think you gave my army it's first ever tabling. Good game though, and I am glad you won best sportsman; you certainly deserve it.

    Hope to play you again sometime!

  2. Thanks Dan! My first bootleg battle report is up featuring our game. Im really kicking myself for not having my camera this weekend. Your army as well as the whole field, which was very well painted overall would have made for great shots in these reports.

  3. How do your scouts have two combi-meltas?

  4. The scout sergeant can replace either his pistol and/or his bolter for a list of items.

    So he replaces each of them with combi-meltas. Much like a sergeant taking two lightning claws or any combination really.

    Now he cant fire both in one turn. But it means after the initial firing that he is still a threat to vehicles the next turn.
