To many troops?

So is there a such thing as having to many troops in a game of 40k?

IG/Tau VS Daemons! Video Battle Report

It was a fun game! I hope you guys enjoy and I look forward to any feedback about the BatRep.

Dracus Out!

YouTube BatReps and THQ

Well I have been a very busy boy this last week.  The weekend started with a 1,500 point tournament, continued with an extra gaming day on Monday while "Life After the Cover Save" recorded a show at Paper Hero's in Saugus, CA then I had my normal gaming night and did a bit of Painting last night.

I have been hard at work on my YouTube channel

List building for 2,000 point tournament: part 2

So if you did not read PART 1 you may want to go back and read that first as I am going to just jump right in here.

List building for 2,000 point tournament: part 1

So I have been extended an invite by Biffomatic to make the drive up to Bakersfield, CA to play in a 2,000 point tournament next Saturday. The only problem I have is WHAT DO I BRING?

I seem to have a lot of options open to me as they are allowing Forge World in the tournament and as I have been running tournaments with Forge World allowed I have not seen any problems with it. On the other hand I have not had the opportunity to play with my Forge World at any tournament thus far.

Do you guys want in the action?

So far the lists I am looking at are:

"Man it's HOT!" my 40k update.

I have noticed that I have not posted in a little while so I thought I should fix that issue. I have not been doing much in the realm of 40k lately much to my dismay. As I live here in the High Desert of Southern California it has been rather hot over the last couple weeks and that has been just zapping away my energy to really get anything done.

Self Painting Challenge V2 is Over! Apoc, Orks VS Imperial!

So I ended up going to bed at about 1:00am Saturday morning in order to get the terminators close to done. Then I had the pleasure of waking up 5 hrs later so I could pack up and make the 2hr drive down to the LA Battle Bunker. So now the question is "Was it worth it?"

 The calm before the storm...

Self Painting Challenge V2. Update 3!

Well this evening has been productive so far. I have gotten the 3 Leman Russ tanks painted and based the Terminators. Going to jump on painting the Terminators here in a couple min. after this post is up. Here is some pictures of the Leman Russ Tanks and a picture of the overall 8,000 point Apocalypse force.

Ok now for the overall force.

8,000 points on a standard 6'x4' table... not much room left.

Till next time, Happy Wargaming!

Potential list for the Thunderdome

So I have been thinking about what army and what list I want to take into the LAtCS Thunderdome. I think the major issue I will run into is finding a list that will not only be able to beat the Draigo Wing that Biff has but one that will hopefully last though several other match-ups. Here I will go over a list I have been thinking of for using from my Imperial Guard collection.

Fun Army Lists.

So in order to break up all the Tournaments I have been going to lately I have been running Fun/non-competitive lists at my FLGS on our weekly gaming night. I have noticed that these lists have been doing well too. Now I don't know if it's because my opponents have bad luck mixed in with their own fun lists or not. But either way I have been having fun and that's what really matters when it comes down to 40k. I want to review the lists I have run over the last couple weeks and maybe even get some feedback on weather you guys think they really are competitive lists or if you would just consider it to be a fun/gimmicky list.

Random Doubles 1,000 point Tournament

Yesterday I took about a drive down to Paper Hero's Comics in Saugus, CA for a 1,000 points doubles tournament. It was more of a fun tournament then a real competitive tournament due to how the teams were going to be set up. Round 1 teams were going to be completely random, round 2 and 3 the person with the highest score would be paired with the person with the lowest score and the pairings will work though the list in the same manner.

I made several different lists for my Tyranids, Chaos Marines, and Guard. In the end I decided to go with the Imperial Guard just because of what was available to use at 1,000 points. Here is the list I ended up taking.

HQ:
Primaris Psyker

Troops:
Vet. Squad w/Chimera
Vet. Squad w/Chimera

Fast Attack:
Vendetta
Vendetta

Heavy Support:
Hydra
Leman Russ Demolisher
Leman Russ Demolisher w/Hull Lascannon

The first issue we ran into was that only 4 people showed up till 1 min. before we were scheduled to start then 1 other person arrived. This left 5 people for a doubles tournament. The TO ended up playing and we were running 1 2v2 game and 1 1v1 game. Of the armies that showed up 3 were Imperial Guard, 1 Space Wolves Pod list, 1 Dark Eldar, and 1 Chaos Space Marines. Everyone had 1 1v1 game and 2 2v2 games. when all the games were finished 1 person won all there games 2 of us were 2-1 and the last 2 were 1-2. Because there was no buy-in for this tournament everyone ended up with some kind of store credit.

In the end I had 3 fun laid back games, I won 1 team game and my 1v1 game.  I walked away with good times with some friends and a Space Marine Drop Pod that I needed for the army I am working on anyway.
