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 :)

And so its over!

So another loss for my guard, but the Necron half of the army did well,

But overall my guard got taken out quickly leaving me with no way of holding objectives :(

It was one of the most fun games I have had this campaign tho, good enjoyable with a good laugh afterwards.

But on a side note, it will be my last campaign game of this campaign, my guard are going into hiding and I am getting out my necrons fully (out of the tombs of plastic boxes that are hiding away)

So from this point, intill next campaign I will be only playing in friendlies with my Necrons and no more campaign games.

Hopefully I can get to try out all the special characters, some might not be brilliant, but I want to have a laugh with them.

Happy Gaming :)

Regrets!

So Guard vs deamons todayand a lose!

I took Necron Allies he had chaos, quite close intill the fateweaver came on and changed everything!

Sums it up really

I just couldnt deal with 4 flying deamons going around!

It made me think about it tho, I really wish I used my Necrons for this campaign

I really like me Guard and my space Wolves....

but my Necrons are still at the top of my gaming list!

My first army and I have never looked back,. there still isn't a army out their I like more,
Necrons have and always will be the army I like the most, but I wish I used them this campaign!

O well

so 2 wins and 2 loses, not great but I am already bored of using Guard, so I might start putting down 190 points of guard and as much allies as I can, then fill the rest with guard!

Happy gaming!

IGvs CSM

So my imperial guard out shoot some chaos marines!

I went all mech (5 russes, 2 chimera, and 2 planes)

and well, I lost one tank and that was it, except from that it was almost a tabling, but he quit (I dont think I would of managed it anyway)

Good game, quite fast paced and quick, as I didnt have loads of men for a change

Biggest moment of the game tho was his three deep strikes-

first one, died
Second, I got to choose where they land
third one, died


How unlucky can you get? 

Win Some, Lose Some, Melt Some

So game vs nids today in the new venue!

So I lost the game, got thrashed by turn 3! because over 100 guardsmen isnt enough -.-

not much to say, he just hit me with mass big creatures including two flying tyrant things!

So yer game over!

New venue.. is well hot enough to melt my models! okay not quite!
Also bit cramped, only currently can get 2 tables in for 40k, they are looking at trying to get a third in, but it will be a squish!

So not much to talk about today, but losing and melting :)

Imperial Guard, ready and move out!

So with two games these week, my guardsmen are running their drills!

As some of you know, I am using Guard in the current campaign, and now the club is reopened its time to start dying again :D

But first I have a friendly game tmro  against the new Tau (my Brother) he bought himself a ripside battlesuit thing aswell so could be fun.. Not sure what to use against them, gun line vs gun line, I fancy Tau over Guard, might have to call on some Space wolf allies to get into the mix!

The next game is on Thursday against tyrainds! This is a campaign game, and so far I have only played one game (against Chaos and won) so hopefully it will be two hoard armies killing each other!

But I dont know, maybe he will go heavy on big creatures? Lets see :)

Next Campaign game

My next one will most likely be played late now due to the club not open next week, so the 21st it looks like for my first campaign game (Or my next one I should say)
But here are my fixtures, I am playing Imperial Guard)

Army deployed- 3 full regiments, including Aircraft, Tanks and Transports

Crusade goal- To destroy all signs of chaos and help the Space Wolves hunt down Thousand Sons, which are believed to be hiding in the Midas sector.

Imperial Guard vs Chaos 1750

So my second game vs the new chaos! Once again campaign game and this time kill points!

It started really close, but he only had 2 squads of terminators, 3 squads of marines and a  couple of other bits!

But he walked his terminators forward into a gun line!
So didnt end well..

He first squad never saw combat, taken out my 3 russes and 30 guardsmen, the other terminator squad was at half strength when it charged my other 30 man squad but this squad had yarrick and after 3 turns of combat and 10-15 guardsmen dead, I beat them down!

So So my storm troopers finished off some marines and my long ranged weapons killed some aswell!

Game finished at-

5-1 units destroyed to me
I also got
First Blood
Slay the Warlord
Line Breaker

So a 8-1 victory to me :)


Next week a friendly against the new dark angels :D

Why Do I bother? Campaign game one! Imperial Guard+Wolves vs Chaos!

So this game didnt really have much game play! Just it took a while!

So I drew, 0-0 objectives each, even as per normal, I outnumbered, out gunned him with what I had left!
I couldnt roll a 3+ to save my life, while I have never seen someone roll so many 6s!

So yes it took over a hour to set up!
40mins to get him to the table, because he was "relaxing"
We then rolled etc, I set up first, and he went to get a drink!
I set up my 5 models.. and he took 15 mins to get a drink -.-
Then he continued to set his up which took another 20mins as he was more interested in talking then playing!

This wouldnt normally bother me, but he is one of the slowest players at the club in-game!
He takes forever to work out what to do, while on my turn he keeps wandering off!

Couple of examples!
Standing there looking at a model for a few mins, then says, he has a gun...
I turned around to him and said shot in then! He goes I dont know what at!
he have one target! A dred, a chimera, and some guardsmen! It was a bolt pistol!

Overall I do question why I bother turning up to play tbh.

My dreadnought has 2 pens on the turn it came into play.. both from a reaper cannon!
So my dreds one arm fires back... and misses -.-

Rant over

Hopefully next weeks campaign game will be better.. or I can see it being a very short campaign for me as I lose patients! 

40k campaign!

So with the new 40k campaign starting soon! I thought I would post the rules-

* 1750pts.
* Fixed codex but list can be changed in game.
* Forge World is legal if your opponent has agreed to it at start of the campaign.
* A FW army list needs an equivilent codex for those games where FW is not allowed (so eldar & corsairs, for example).
* Allies can be taken, and changed each game.
* Fortifications are fine except for the Fortress of Redemption (table space reasons).
* Missions will be rulebook only. You will know games in advance.
* Each game will have a random Warzone Trait rolled at start of the game.

So all good, except to get back into the game I got a friendly organised!
But found out we are playing each other first round, so we agreed to make it the campaign game!

So first round of campaign on Thursday :D

Good game, bad result!

So tonight was against Grey Knights on a kill point mission! Good player and I was always going to be chasing this game ( I have a terrible record against him and against grey knights!)

So final score was 7-5 to him, my stars were my destroyer lord and annihilation barges!

His well most things lol!

Good enjoyable game, close run thing, a few different dice rolls here and there would have changed it completely!

So review so far!

4 wins out of 6- happy with this so far

stars have been annihilation barges,

But overall I wish I could change my list, I have spent over £200 on new Necrons since our lists had to be in, so many changes I would make, including adding ghost arks and doomsday arks!!

So only negative of the night was to find out some of the missions are printed wrong!

So some games have the wrong special rules etc, meaning I no longer know if my remaining games have correct rules or not!

Very annoying as it can mean massive changes to plans and tactics to find out the missions are different then what were originally printed! Have to wait and see, still thinking this could be my last campaign, have to see how it goes for now.

But I have had a email from the university club saying that they are starting to play 40k! (intill now they just played card games and a few board games!

So do I sense a switch of clubs?
Properly not as its harder to get to the uni due to no parking, but Cambridge GW have told me I can park behind them if I want to play up there on Tuesdays!

Right off on holiday next week with my lovely girlfriend :)!! Hopefully nice weather! :D

Wave after wave

so 4 wins out of 5, yep I won.. woo! Well sort of!

First 3 turns it was really close, just trading a few kill points, in till turn 4+ it went completely wrong for the other player, as he started having a lot of half squads of smaller which started getting picked off completely, making him unable to counter attack to take my units out! So a win 10-5 on kill points..

BUT

This could of gone either way, it was the first player to take out the smaller squads would of won, lucky for me it was me, but it could of easily been him!!

O well, against grey knights next week, currently reading the mission :)

Round 3 Campaign

So after two wins, third game was always going to be fun, so after finding out the mission was against me, it was a for gone conclusion, so objective in the middle, I can only have troops and heavy support on the field.

So yer he goes first,

turn one I had 15ish Necrons left out of 40, and so my turn one no reserves.. so that didnt go well,

so my my troops came in slowly, meaning he just picked them off all game, so turn 4 I gave up, with almost nothing left, while I hadnt even dented his army!

And on top of this is I did do well, his troops just come back on the field due to the mission rules!

So what would have I changed not much really,

So after three games what do I feel I should have added to me list or change?

Nothing, wish I never joined tbh, I am not enjoying the missions (even the ones I won) they all mostly two one sided.

So even after 2 wins and 1 lose, which is a good start, I am already thinking of dropping out due to getting annoyed with the missions.

How did that happen!!

So after the first game against Tau was a win, I went in to play the second game!

Now the mission was ambush, So i set up within 6 inches of the middle line, and he can set up outside 12 inches, so bugger only 6 inches away, he was also Guard.. so lots of firepower! And to make it worst he is a good player and he gets the first turn...

Bye bye my Necrons!

Or not!

His first turn was terrible! Bad roles and not enough models to deal with my hoard, he took out about 3 warriors and 5 scarabs!.. so my turn. and being close works both ways, went on to take 1/3 to a 1/2 of his army out my first turn.

So guess the result?

Yep wiped him out turn 4, with a good half my army left, good game and really happy with the result

Start as you mean to go on!

Yep good start yesterday with a win against my brother Tau

Tbh his shooting was terrible, and to make it worse he seemed to just shoot warriors and not scarabs, barges, lords or immortals, which destroyed his army.

By the end of it he had about 200 points left while I had only lost 200 points ish, so a good result I believe.

O well guard next in a few weeks! This one I am going to struggle against!

Necrons with Christmas Hats!

Nope this is not about Necrons with Christmas hats but meh!
