The Regulars are back at NG Galleria for more 40K battles a week after the GT.
Attendance : Balian, Salubri, Kyuzo, Henri, Ebon, Manongguard, George, JR, Tsuruchijo, Scrivener, with special appearance from Marty
Game 1 – 2000 pts; Balian (Deathwing) vs Henri (Space Wolves / Iron Wolves)
Result - Draw!
My take on the game – I showed up with Belial and 40 terminators and nothing else. Army selection was based on ease of transport. Henri came with an army just tweaked a little bit from his GT list. Game played in less than 2 hours!
Game 2 – 1500 pts; George (Orks) vs JR (Blood Angels)
Result – Draw!
My take on the game – Orks taking the fight to the emo marines (emo->twilight->vampires->blood angels->marines… get it?), with JR just barely holding off the ork horde, aided by a lucky attack bike - rapid fire bolters and a multi-melta shot killing 3 ork bikers in one go, with the ork bikers running away off board due to failing Ld check (needed 9 or below, but still failed…)
Game 3 – 1250 pts; Tsuruchijo (Crimson Fists) vs Scrivener (Black Templars)
Result – (I forgot)
I didn’t get to observe this match. I just hope no one got raped :P
Game 4 – 2000 pts; Ebon (Deathwing/Ravenwing) vs Salubri (Eldar)
Result – Salubri wins with 1 objective to none
My take on the game – both veterans showed up with no obvious signs of gaming rust… but their dice were not cooperating :D
Salubri: it was interesting playing against my other army. i was already afraid from the beginning knowing how difficult it is to crack terminators (even from the DA list). fortunately my eldar managed to rain enough ninja stars to nail the occasional terminator (not sexual in context). it was the last minute moves that caused ebon the game as his right flank collapsed and was unable to hold the objective. from there it was a simple matter of contesting and running for the objective on the left side. also Kyuzo's (guest dice roller) juju dice rolling turned out an early finish to what could have been a very long game of hide and seek. lol
it's nice to discover that i can still play warhammer with some amount of sucksess. hehe...
GW shipment arrived this day... a lot are still obviously building up their own "private armies".
Manongguard showed up late with his newly painted Eldar Army, but everyone else was too tired to play against him. Sabi kasi one hour, dumating after two hours :P
Kyuzo showed up, but with wrong equipment (big billiard stick)
Marty showed up, but was in galleria just to shop.
Belated birthday greetings to JR and thanks for the pizza and drinks!
PS - I heard the gang went out for coffee after, but I am already a domesticated animal so I was not able to join. In the words often used by Kyuzo, I am sure the coffee place did not disappoint. It rarely does. :D
Salubri: we did. first dropped by Henri's place for the birthday bash for Thomas ( I still shudder when I remember them spiders. :S ) before going for coffee... original "coffee" place was packed so we went for the backup "coffee" place which didn't offer much "in-sight" but we got to play the game of "Why are they here and who are they waiting for." :D
