Venue: Robinson's Galleria, 3rd Floor
Regulars Present: Kyuzo, Ebon, Balian, Sigismund, Salubri
Other Players Present: Henry, Mike, John, Jaime
Highlights:
Change in scenery yet again. Kinda like going on a Galleria demo tour. Haha. But once we got tables set up, we were quick into the carnage, HGR style.
--------------
Game1 - Balian(13th Company) vs. Kyuzo(Dark Eldar)
2000pts Cleanse Alpha
Kyuzo taps out bottom of 4th. Balian Wins!
Lucky me to decide taking out the Dark Eldar army right up against Balian's 13th Company. Most of my raider transports carrying wyches and Archon got shot down by the second turn, but they were effective against 13th Company units that ever got into close combat. By 4th Turn, a quick assessment of the table sees me with not enough scoring units to prevent the 13th Company sweeping in to claim quarters.
Good game.
--------------
Game2 - Ebon(Deathguard) vs. Sigismund(Orks)
2000pts Take and Hold Omega
Ebon Wins via VP!
Ebon's Deathguard takes Rite of Passage against Sigismund's Orks for 4 hours. Noteable is the amount of carnage that has ensued in those 4 hours, with the Green Tide still pouring it on in the latter rounds. Could we say a tired Ebon swinging an imaginary scythe is Quotable? Lolz...
Balian - to illustrate how long this game was... me and kyuzo started our game at the same time, we packed-up after, watched henry and salubri deploy, had lunch, went back, and salubri and henry finished their game same time this game concluded. Whew!
--------------
Game3 - Salubri(Deathwing) vs. Henry(Space Wolves)
2000pts Seek and Destroy Alpha
Salubri Wins!
Salubri comes to Galleria with an all Deathwing Terminator army! No Landraiders, no Ravenwing, just all-Terminators! The Deathwing's steady advance proved to be a little difficult for the Space Wolves to handle. Game ends with Salubri having 2 scoring units remaining to Henry's 1.
--------------
Game4 - Ebon(Deathguard) vs. Henry(Space Wolves)
2000pts Cleanse Gamma
Ebon Wins via Massacre!
Not much highlights from me on this game, it was simultaneous with my game against Mike.
Balian - what I saw were meltaguns, about 6 inches away from landraiders...
Ouch...
--------------
Game5 - Mike(Ultramarines) vs. Kyuzo(Chaos Space Marines)
1000pts Recon Gamma
Mike Wins via VP!
Had my hands full on this one. With the config I pulled out, it was difficult to recover unit losses. Took a big gamble in turbo-boosting my Sorcerer Biker in front of one Tactical Squad na one Scout Squad, taking one wound from a bolter first before finally getting killed by one single Scout missle. To compound my problems, a second gamble in deep striking terminators without the aid of teleport homers proved to be their undoing when they deviated into an enemy squad. That's 1/3 my army in just two turns!
Chaos Space Marines proved to be real nasty in close combat compared to their Loyalist counterparts as they methodically took out three tactical squads in three full turns. Game ended with victory points in the Ultramarines favor, the points difference would've been a bit more respectable if only my remaining CSM squad was able to reach the enemy deployment zone. Just one turn short.
Good game.
Balian - this game reinforced my trust in bolters... and showed all of us an alternative (and effective!) way of rolling dice :D Mike also showed us how Space Marines should fight!

Gaming ends 8:00pm.

Salubri - "Super Mom!!!"
Balian - "What? Where? Oh thaaaaat.... Super Mom nga!"
Kyuzo - "Super Mom?! Where? Wwwaaahhh!!!"
