Other Friends Who Passed By: Justin, Owen
Rules of Engagement: Warhammer 40k
Highlights:
Strong attendance today, with two 4x6 tables giving some new players a chance to get some 40k gaming, HGR style.
--------------
Game1 - Balian(Steel Falcons) vs. Adrian(Twilight Dawn - Chaos Space Marines)2000pts Seek and Destroy Gamma
Adrian taps out on Turn5. Balian Wins!
Balian's becoming the resident submissions specialist. Adrian's Daemon Princess made a slight mistake of showing up in the open, right into the Steel Falcon lascannon field of fire. "So, your Daemon Princess got to see the Steel Falcon light show first hand, eh?" Lolz.
--------------
Game2 - Sigismund(Orks) vs. Ryan(Death Ravens)2000pts Take and Hold Omega
Sigismund Wins!
25 Death Ravens. Three and a half hours. 144 Orks. Three and a half hours. Sigismund was thought to have brought Tau earlier. Three and a half hours. A few Regulars could use an Advil after reading Sigismund's "New Ork Codex". Oh, and did I tell you their game took three and a half hours? :P
--------------
Game3 - Naj(Dark Angels) vs. Adrian(Twilight Dawn - Chaos Space Marines)1500pts Secure and Control Alpha
Adrian Wins!
--------------
Game4 - Naj(Dark Angels) vs. Ebon(Deathguard)1500pts Secure and Control Omega
Ebon Wins!
--------------
Game5 - Alfred(Armored Company) vs. Kyuzo(Chaos Space Marines)2000pts Recon Gamma
Kyuzo Wins!
Baneblade!!! At 577(?) points, dishing out a LOT of firepower including one big-ass ordinance template, it's an intimidating piece on the gaming table. Had to get my Rhino troops to within assault range quickly or I would have trouble getting to what was looking like a solid defensive position. Critical move was baiting half of the Leman Russes to take out a couple of Rhinos and pen them in so my disembarked CSM troops have a chance to close in with meltas and powerfists while Noise Marines who aren't equipped to take out heavy armor so are reduced to do a touchdown role. Armored Company made a gutsy move by wiping out a squad of Chaos Terminators with the Baneblade cannon AT CLOSE RANGE! MVP of the game would be the Chaos Sorceror on bike diverting most of the Baneblade firepower (Alfred threw everything, lascannons, demolisher cannons, even the Baneblade kitchen sink!) and saving ALL instakill fire, as well as one havoc squad hitting the side of the baneblade, taking out TWO structure points in the process!
Game ends with Chaos Space Marines having three units and both HQ's in the endzone against the Armored Company having only the Baneblade remaining on the table with one Structure Point left.
--------------
Game6 - Adrian(Twilight Dawn - Chaos Space Marines) vs. Jessie(Luna Wolves)2000pts Recon Gamma
Adrian Wins!

Special thanks to Sigismund for reserving tables for the session as well as Ebon for bringing in some additional terrain. A lot of curious onlookers came to watch and ask about the game too. Balian and Kyuzo's auspexes had their overload moments, while Salubri most likely will be hoarse tomorrow after his match against Orks On Steroids. Hehehe...Game Session ends 8:00 PM.

it was nice to see them newbies come out and play. alfred's armored company was pretty cool too.
btw i move that we bring actual codices along with our armies when we play. it lessens the funky stuff. :P plus request ko yung may mini rulebook to bring it every saturday.
oh and may the kind hearted donate a few more terrain for galleria? kahit two pieces per person lang okay na yun. :D
got to talk to arvin a couple of hours back. apparently word has reached him about the baneblade. he mentioned something about actual forgeworld rules different from apocalypse rules (seems only in apocalypse do you use those 10" pie plates of doom. whew!). will give it further scrutiny.
i might get a chance to borrow actual CSM and Ork codices before i get my own copy. will hope it's sooner than later. i try to stay away from Advil whenever i can. :D
