40k: MK Kill teams

So today I played in a kill team event at MK.
This is only a quick run down, as I forgot to take pictures or write down lists :(

My list was-
10 Hunters, 1 Flamer, 1 Plasma Gun, 1 Plasma Pistol, 1 Rhino, 200 on the dot

Game 1-
Against, Tzeentch marines

This game involved me hiding in the rhino, as he would be unable to break it without his powers, but second turn his psyker, killed itself meaning, I just picked the marines off one by one
Win

Game 2-
Tau, 3 battlesuits, 4 pathfinders

This game involved his suits dodging out of cover, killing everything, running back to cover.. and then I failed my break test quite quickly
Lose

Game 3-
Eldar, 5 wraithguards

First turn I took out the only model that had a weapon above str 5, meaning once again I hide inside my rhino, and the Hunter with the plasma pistol, took out 3 wraith guards, while the plasma gunner blow himself up!
Win

Game 4-
Imperial Guard, 10 vets, 1 chimera

In the first couple of times, I took out the chimera with bolter fire, and then just sent my hunters out, to take down any guardsmen they could find, to be fair the other player had some terrible cover save rolls.
Win

Game 5-
Daemons, not entirely sure what he had

He wiped me out by turn 2, ap2 flamers and str 9 weapons, I did kill a model though lol
Lose

Game 6-
Elder, 10 Warp spiders

So turn 1 he pinned near enough all my marines when the rhino exploded, and from there he just popped 1 marine by marine, my last standing marine turned around and killed two specialists in close combat, but then I failed a break test
Lose

Game 7-
Marines, 5 stern-guard, rhino

This was very quick, turn 1 I blow up his rhino with a plasma gun, he then lost a marine in the explosion, he quickly starting murdering my marines though, but once he lost 1 more marine, he failed his break test and fled
Win

So 4 wins and 3 loses, and was a very good fun event :)

Also the daemons won the event, by the sounds of it, he wiped most people in 2-3 turns.

Anyway Happy gaming :)

X-wing: MK Regionals

So yesterday, it was a return to x-wing (first time since the MK store championships)
(Also thanks to my lovely girlfriend, who let me text her all the information all day, once again she had no idea what anything meant)

My list
3x Blue Pilots with Advanced sensors
1x Rookie with R2D2, everyone said I should of run Biggs, but running R2D2, paid off, I got a awesome photo :)

Anyway. Here is a quick highlight of the day (Sorry Forgot a few names)

Game 1-
Against-
Bounty Hunter, Gunner
Bounty Hunter, Gunner
Shuttle, Vader

Now to be 100% honest I don't remember much from this game, except he made a mistake and didnt use Vader to finish off my rookie, which meant it zoomed off to heal up on its shields, and most of the game involed my b-wings chasing the two bounty hunters around.
Full Win :)

Game 2-
Against-
Academy Pilot
Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

Howlrunner, Determination 

Soontir fel, PTL, Targeting Computer

This was a good game, he made a mistake with Soontir fel and put the ship in front of all 4 of mine, which meant boom, dead sontir, and after that it was pick off the ties time, as soon as I got a couple of ties down and howlrunner down, it was game over, good game tho :)

Full Win

Game 3-

Against Neil

Hwk, ion turret

Hwk, ion turret

Blue Pilot, HLC

Blue Pilot, HLC

I was not looking forward to this game, ions and HLCs would rip through my B-wings, but as the game turned out, my dice were on fire, first contact resulted in one of his b-wings going down and a heavily damage Hwk, it was a good game though, as he started clawing it back, but I think the early exchange and my dice rolls all game, won it,

This can was unreal, I dont think I missed a shoot all game, really fun game though, I think this was my game of the day, fun game up against a good player :)

Full Win

Game 4-

Against Craig

Howlrunner, Stealth

Mauler Mithel

Dark Curse

Backstabber

Black pilot, vet instincts 

Black pilot, vet instincts 

This was a very close game, I made a mistake early and parked a b-wing on a asteroid, which cost me early big time, but this game was a funny one, one of the turns saw all of our ships lined up to shoot each other (near enough most at range 1) and only 1 damage was dealt the entire round! As soon as I was able to get the ties down to 3, I still had 3 ships left, and two were on very good health, from that point it was a case of pick the ties of one by one.

Full win

Now that last game, means I won 4 games in one event for the first time, also my total number of wins in ALL events I have played in is only 5.....

Game 5-

Against-
Bounty Hunter, Gunner
Bounty Hunter, Gunner
Shuttle, Vader

This isnt the same guy, there were three of these lists flying around (I think)

Anyway, this one come down to a Bounty hunter with 1 shield and 6 hull left) against my rookie with 2 hull?, I cant remember, anyway, with a few minutes left he was going to win, in till he fly his last bounty hunter off the table by millimetres! So somehow I won this game, but to be fair to my opponent, he should of won and he was easily the better player
Full win

So I am the only player on 5-0 at this point, but it now goes into a top 8 knockout.
So being 1st at this stage means I play the 8th place player

I also got some cool dice for getting this far, aswell as my photo, I am quite happy with my lot at this point

Game 6- Quarter finals
Against
Dagger, Advanced Sensor
Dagger, Advanced Sensor
Gold, ion turret
Gold, ion turret

So errr, well I thought this was a bad match up for me, but the same thing happened that happened against Neil in Game 3, first contact saw his B-wings causing 1 damage, but him losing a B-wing in return.
In the next few turns I murdered the other B-wing, but the two y-wings kept popping one shield a time, but in the end, as soon as I got 1 of the y-wings down, the other had 3 ships (that weren't ioned) chasing him, and he soon fell, first game today where I didnt lose a ship
Full Win

Right so I got some awesome movement templates at this point, now I wasnt going to the Nationals, so that was it on my prize lot, but semi-finals anyway!

Game 7-Semi-finals

Against Craig, rematch

Howlrunner, Stealth

Mauler Mithel

Dark Curse

Backstabber

Black pilot, vet instincts 

Black pilot, vet instincts 

So a rematch, this game was really close in the middle, intill a few ties dropped and then the game was mine, I almost mucked up by spending my rookie off on its own, but it worked quite well in the end, also I lost a b-wing quickly, and I thought that was game at that point, but it proved to be a very close game, and Craig was another player that was great to play against.
Full win

Game 8-Finals
Against Keith
8 Academy pilots

Now believe it or not, I have never played against a tie swarm, before today, the only swarm I played against was Round 2, and against Craig, so I had no idea how to approach this game and well my ships got murdered one by one, my damage output was below average (I guess that was coming, after my unbelievable dice rolls all day) Good game, and a solid win to Keith.

So I finished 2nd, I am happy about that, normally I win 2-3 games and thats it, but to win 7 was unreal :)
Thats all my luck used up for the next 10+ events though :)

Matt travelled with me as always, he won 2 out of 5, but a couple of his games were close, so I assume he wasnt far off a another win or two

Well run event as always. Cant wait for the next one :)

Anyway here are some pictures of the day :)

Game 2, ties are everywhere

Game 3, first contact

Game 4, my rebels, first more ties

Prizes for the day, evade tokens for top 16, dice for top 8(these look really cool)
and top 4 movement templates , which also look cool :)

My prize for the highest place astromech, hence why R2D2 proved such a good choice :)




Anyway that is it again till Monday, when I am back in MK for a 40k Kill team event :)

40k: Grey Knights! And Finished Monolith

Yes the title is in correct! I am starting a Grey Knight army, this will only be a small army to use with my Space Wolves and my Necrons, it will consist of all infantry models, so mainly just marines!

Anyway heres my first purchase

3 Boxes of Grey Knight Marines and 1 Box of Grey Knight terminators, also not pictured Grey Knight codex

So as this new army starts, I splashed a bit more then I planned, I was only going to get two boxes for now, but o well, 4 boxes it is!

Anyway in other news..

My Necron Monolith completely finished, including the added green plastic :)

Anyway that is all for now, I am painting up a Grey Knight as a test and hope to have him done soon, will post pictures when he is done!

Also this weekend I am in MK again this time for two different events-

Saturday 3rd of May, X-wing Regional Finals

Monday 5th of May, 40k kill teams!

Now for the x-wing I think I will use this list-

Chewbacca, Draw thier fire

Jan Ors, Squad Leader, Ion Turret

Biggs

Fun list that can put out some hurt with Ors and Chewbacca combining.

As for the 40k event, I have not lost a single game of Kill teams at Game Workshop since the latest campaign as started, so I might play with my current list which is-

3 Wraiths

5 Deathmarks

But I may not! I have not fully decided yet.

Anyway, Thanks for reading and happy gaming :)

40K, Necrons out for the kill again!

Hello all :)

My Necrons kept up their advance today with two more wins on the Campaign, I wanted to get 500 point games in, but when I turned up, no one except was high enough, so started with a kill team game, and then a 500 point player did turn up.

First game- kill teams

I won and lost nothing, 3 wraiths and 5 deathmarks were nasty, he couldn't kill the wraiths while the death marks sat on the objective, so my 4th kill team score

Second game was against Marines, this was a 500 point level, he had a flyer, which fell to rapid firing warriors.. I played a Monolith in this game.. which properly was a bit mean, as he never was able to land a hit on it, and finding out the Monolith can fire at multiple targets, meant it just went around murdering marines and scouts, and a razorback 

Best part of this game was, I tried out Szeras, and he used his lance and instant killed a librarian in terminator armour.

Both good games, both easy wins tho, I am once again ahead of the campaign, maybe I have finally worked out how to use Necrons!

In other news, I am selling my Imperial Guard and have agreed a price and they will be gone soon, I will buy a 3rd army, but only a small army that can ally with both Necrons and Space Wolves, this army will mainly be used as a allied force and will not contain anything bigger then a terminator, as I play to fit it all in a small GW carrying case, which used to belong to my Imperial Guards HQs... yes just HQ!  So I will gain so much room in my wardrobe for well... more gaming stuff :D

Anyway, Happy Gaming to all :)

40k More Games!

So got 2 more games in today at GW in thier campaign, the first game was against a Marine player.. nothing to write up here, never lost a model and well he never passed a save!

So I have 3 wins, but 2 wins allows you to go up to the next stage which is 500 points, so I found someone else who is also on 500 points and off we went!

He flooded the field with guardsmen, vets though and so had a lot of upgrades on them, I played 2 destroyers, a overlord and some immortals and warriors

Game ended with-

Both of us controlling a objective
Both slaying the warlord
But I got first blood!
So I win with 4 Warriors left on the field while he had 15ish vets, it was very close game, specially as my Immortals and Lord where cut down very early

But I bought my self some Tomb Blades and may use them next time I play, hopefully next week :)

Happy Gaming :)

40k: Necron Monolith painted! Well kind of.....

So I kind of painted my Necron Monolith I post up earlier, now dont forget I dont paint, and so it may look rubbish, but it will do me :)   So here it is!

I have not added the green rods and green door yet, but for now it shall do :) In till I get around to it :)

Happy Gaming :)

40K: Necron Monolith!

Updates in the next few days when its done :)
