The Ones Who Just Wont Die...

Well, last weekend I just got back from the Warstore Weekend and I have to say that it was an awesome time. In the 40k tournament I had a ball. I wasn't trying to win but just enjoy what was happening, get a few games in, and meet some awesome gamers, like Dan over at Ten Inch Template. Dan won both player's choice and judge's choice for Best Painted this weekend and he is a marvelous painter and overall great guy. I also got to meet Paul from Paul's Basement League who is a wonderful person to hang out and play toy soldiers with.

Game wise I did a lot better then I thought, here's a rough summery. (sorry no pictures, the lighting was a nightmare for my camera)

Now before you ask why I am fifteen points off I originaly took Saga of the Hunter on the Wolf Guard Battle Leader but realized (thankfully befor the games began) that I can have the Saga with a Thunderwolf so I took a pen and took it away. Now for the games.

Game 1 Blood Angels (Predator mech spam)

The first game of the weekend was awesome as I was playing the list that I am literally building right now. I got to test my Logan Wing against my new army early, and it was a feirce test. On turn one the Blood angel zoomed forward and blasted one Lone Fang squad to death and Scared another off the board with Fear of Darkness. This left me with hoping that My thunderwolves and Lone Wolves could fight there way through and hit them with their Chain Fists and Power Fists, This is mostly what happened. The game was a multiple objective game that left me with a loss only because one of my units rolled a 3 on its run roll instead of a 4. I literally lost BY ONE INCH! That was all I needed to draw, aw well. The game was well fought I was amazed by how much firepower the Lone wolves could draw and how well they could kill stuff. Everything they touched they killed (they even caught moving Blood Angel tanks and ripped them apart). This was going to become a pattern over the weekend and many people were amazed about how destructive these 95pt models are. After this I will write about them in detail.

Game 2 Raven Guard (3 Vindicators, drop pod Dreads, and Tactical Squads with a big Bike unit)



This game I played against Paul and defiantly was my favorite game, It was good and full of surprises. This Game was modified kill points where you had to pick 5 enemy units and they were kill points. To keep the game simple he chose my Thunderwolves and a unit of Wolf Guard and a Long Fang unit that were on  the right side of the board, the same side as his three Vindicators. There were numerous awesome events in this game but the two important characters was his librarian and my Lone wolf with two wolves. The Librarian started the game by telleporting with Gate of infinity next to my killpoint longfang squad and trying to Avenge them to death but scattering to far. I responded by charging two squads of Wolf Guard and the Battle leader in and they mudered his Tactical Squad but he lived. He then proceeded to telleport out of Combat and landed next to the long fangs frying them finally with avenger leaving my 3 units in front of 3 Vindicators, lets just say it wasn't pretty. My lone wolf though charged into a captain led squad of bikes. This was an attemp to hold them for a couple turns and so it was, and more. He proceded to kill the squad by making it run and escort it of the board, killing a vindicator, an Ironclad Dread and walking to the edge of his deployment board to kill its drop pod which was a killpoint of mine. The game ended in my favor but it was a toss up the whole time we fought and had fun. Best game of the weekend by far.
