Loss by less than an inch

That's what she said. Oh! Andrew got me tonight and won by less than an inch. Gave me some good ideas for my army though and made me realize how stupid I am to throw a 600 point squad in the open with no cover and only one invul save. Seriously.

Army lists are due Friday for the tournament and I'm still in the process of tweaking. And with the ac at the apartment being out of order I'm not really in a thinking mood.

Badab War Campaign

Over the course of the next several months I will be attempting to encourage my gaming group to partake in the Badab War Campaign published in Imperial Armour 9. With three armies a side, and new missions such as boarding actions and other new scenarios and characters, I believe that with several games to represent battles throughout the course of the Badab War, much entertainment will be had among the group. The best part is the storyline of the war actually matches up perfectly with all our current armies.

Fall to Chaos

Tonight a blood Angels detachment allied with a chaos warband and succeeded in neutralizing a joint guard and space marine force. Has this group of marines fallen to chaos or was there a greater cause for such an unusual alliance?

If they have fallen, then the most veteran predator crew of the chapter, that of the Wrath of Lemartes, has also turned. To say that this would be a blow to the entire chapter would be an understatement.

Killzone tournament

So I have an idea for a killzone tournament in July as a trial run for the big tournament later on. Prizes would consist of basing items, dice, paints, etc. Items to assist with army preparation for the big tourney. Three rounds which should be possible to complete in one night as the games would have a round limit. First round would be annihilation with victory points being the objective. Second round would be the data download scenario in which one team has to drag an objective off their board edge. That scenario makes for a fun game. The third game would be the get your hq off the opponents board edge scenario j and matt played.

This would allow all involved to play a second army or third army that isn't completely assembled for a bit of fun.

Another idea is a story driven campaign which there is one in the rulebook as well as several others around the Internet that would serve to add a story driven element to standard games. Just need to research available resources and determine what would best fit our needs.
