The battle for Konor

I managed to get in not one, but two games for the Fate of Konor global campaign over the weekend. All for the glory of Chaos, but not always using Chaos. Hmmmm..... I also did some X-Wing Mario Kart racing.

40K, now with missions

I did manage to get in a game this last weekend. The game was against Paul and Alex's Eldar and Space Marine forces. I was running my Night Lords list, but added a Predator with autocannon and heavy bolters, a unit of raptors, and, at the last minute, a unit of cultists. My list comes to 1885 without the cultists and 101 power level. The cultists were a last minute addition to make up a few power level. Ironically the cultists turned out to be clutch.

More hobby progress?

Just a quick one. I didn't get any game in last week, was teaching some minors 40k. But I thought I would show off my progress on my two Chaos Lords. Super happy with how they are going. Still have a lot of work to finish the army, though.

Is that.... hobby progress?

Why yes, yes it is. With the new edition of 40k I have been enticed to dive back into work on my Night Lords. I started before the new edition dropped, hoping my stuff wouldn't be invalidated. Thankfully, it wasn't. I'm not sure how good it is, but I can play it either way. The changes have changed my mind about trying to Night Lord up some Daemon Princes, as Chaos Lords may fill the spot rather well. And much cheaper. To that end, you can see my first of (likely) two lords. I may decide to add more, I don't know, yet.

Beyond that, I have made great strides on my custom rhinos. It is a vast improvement over where they have been in, like, forever. Well, a couple years at least. This is the prototype, and it is almost ready to start casting the armor bits to add to my other four chassis. But that isn't all. I don't have a picture, but I have all of my Chosen largely base coated. Things are definitely moving forward, and I hope to have more progress pictures up soon.

Many mini 8th ed battles

As many of you should know, 8th edition 40k came out last weekend. Since then I have been playing game after game. Exclusively at 19 power levels, my oldest wants to play his guard, which is a unit of Veterans and a Tank Commander. Needless to say, the wider scope may be missing. However, I have learned some things.

Not quite dead

So, it has been a little while since I last posted. Partly due to distraction, partly due to my video card dieing. I managed to get in a few games in the interim, all of which were 40K. I played Shea's Tau, Collin's Dark Angels, and jerked my way through part of a game versus Space Wolves. I won't discuss the last, I was tired, I was hungry, I was grumpy, and I screwed the pooch early. I finally called it on turn 3, after I realized my DPs should have been dead much earlier. I challenged a rematch at a time when I was a decent opponent.

Just the 40K

  It has been a couple weeks, but I have not been idle. I have finally gotten some basing on my Night Lords, and I brought them out for a couple games. Two weeks ago I faced Shea's Orks and last week I faced Nabors's brand new Space Marines.

Return of the 40K

After a bit of a hiatus, I picked up my larger force of unfinished models, and once again dived back into Warhammer 40K. As much as I think the new edition hurt the hobby, I still enjoy it. It is the edition for my Chaos, as they seem to be the most fun right now. I didn't really enjoy the games with my Eldar, and the Dark Eldar got a heavy tweak in their new book, so I have no idea how that will go down. I haven't tried my Tau, but I have had a strange aversion towards them since I mostly put them down in fifth. Well, enough rambling, on to the game.

Turns out, I have too much focus

I threw down three games a couple of weekends ago. 40K and Malifaux versus Nabors and X-Wing versus Paul. The Malifaux and X-Wing games were tandem like some sort of chess master... Only more awesomer.

Two weeks, three games, one freak out

Okay, so this is a bit old, but I thought I would push it out anyway.


Okay, so he didn't technically but it makes a good title. I have been a little quiet over the last two weeks. Finishing up summer and all that. But I did still manage to get in some games(of course). The week before last was Malifaux demos followed by a quick game of X-Wing. This last weekend, even after being stood up, I still got in a game of 40K.

Curse you Flickr!

My deepest apologies. My phone no longer seems able to upload pictures to Flickr. This leads to me not posting, since I don't like posting without pictures, especially when I actually have them. The last few weeks have been rather heavy with games. I have been playing Malifaux, 40K, X-Wing, and I even threw down Fantasy versus the kids. I also got in a game of Evil Baby Orphanage versus a couple good looking girls. And unfortunately their dad as well, so you know.
I do feel that I should, as a public service announcement state that I am catching up on several games which include 25 picture. It's long, very long. Though I will just synapse the games.

Double table, double weeks ago

So, it has been a couple of weeks since I posted. I did manage to get some games in, including a small unit bash of Fantasy versus my kids last weekend, and a truck load of Pokemon against the same bad influences. But that's not what you all want to hear about, except that they trounced me in Fantasy. No, you want to hear about two weeks ago when I played both 40K and Infinity.
Well, read on.

Down to a Heldrake

Even though I missed last weekend due to family awesomeness, I did manage to get in a game on last Thursday versus my now only opponent, Shea. He once again brought out his Orks, this time with a Truk heavy list, with two Battle Wagons with Nobs. I brought back my CSM list, now completely devoted to the Black Legion, but sans Cultists, add Las Pred. I also moved the Chosen from mixed squads to pure weapon squads. I wasn't super happy with the list as a whole, but it did give me plenty of food for thought. It also turns out that I could use an opponent that lets me make more mistakes.

Accidently Unbound

So, I manage to get in another game versus my new "regular opponent" Shea. This time it was his Orks versus my Night Lords. Bom bom bom. After some thought about how 7th has changed some things and the effect on my Night Lords force, I decided they could be fun and even functional this edition. It will take more testing, and I have to make some changes, but after this game, I am hopeful for a chaos come back.

SILENCE! I kill you.

As some of you may have noticed, or pry not, I have been fairly quiet as of late. I blame 7th edition 40K. No, actually I blame May. With everyone having other things to do, there was no late gaming, and I had to fight to get games, and I'm not much of a fighter. But I was able to break the drought the Saturday before last and get in a game of the new edition of 40K. My opponent, Shea. My army, Eldar with Dark Eldar allies. His army, Orks. Outcome, well, I guess you will have to read on.

The Tao of Tau

Or is it the Tau of Tao? I can never remember. Back again, a day later, with another 40K battle report versus Troy's Nids. Not to worry, I did get in a half game of Malifaux to chat about as well, with my Leveticus taking on Pandora. I didn't get a picture of that, not exactly sure why. I had the phone out and either my phone or myself shorted, resulting in no picture. Ah, well, on to the games.

Elite killer gets killed

I managed to squeak in a game against Troy today. He is still testing out his new Nids book and I am still failing with my Night Lords against them. Read on to bask in my pain.

The Beatdown

With a weekend off, I headed down to the club early, mostly to get the 40K Con terrain repaired. After a couple hours of doing that, and getting all the wreckage repaired from Captain Destroyer, people finally showed up. I then managed to get in both a game of 40K and Malifaux against Troy before Dark Heresy/Deathwatch.

TMI: Double Dip

Work forgot to schedule me this week, or some system error, or whatever, the result? I was "given" the weekend off. Not good for the wallet, but did allow me to get in two full days of gaming. Three games plus Deathwatch/Dark Heresy, a pretty good haul for a weekend. How did the games go? Read on to find out.

TMI: The Headless Horde Rides Again!

A little early this week, but I hope to have another TMI to post after tomorrow as well. This is a special Friday edition, where I had a day off, the kids were gone, so I was looking for a game. I wanted Malifaux, but beggars and all that.
