I'm using this as an opportunity to test out lists for the next Astronomi-con in May. This is the core I'm working at painting up now, and the rest will get decided during this league.

Simpsonia: sure. I could spare a few hours to play now. I'll meet you in Vassal.
Today, after raining down dozens of assault marines into their enemy's faces, the Blood Angels middle management librarian, Blood McBlooderson, declared a heroic and epic tabling of Sharp101's generic Spess Mehreens. When asked for a comment, McBlooderson replied cryptically that "the RNG Gods had decided to severely punish Sharp101 for the perceived slight of refusing to blow upon his dice before rolling."
Take a few d6's, roll them until they come up '1', and then burn them outside with some ceremonial oil (Canola seems to work well). It's the only way.

Moridin, sorry I couldn't finish our game yesterday or be on today. I'll try to be on whenever you get the chance to finish up. This time, we lock the room.
If it was seize, or annihilation, I'd probably have won, but I got complacent w/ capture the draw. Skarsol played a decent game and concentrated enough forces to overcome my firepower. Good game.
I was happy with it. I got both some horrible rolls and some decent ones. Learned oodles about vassel and 5th edition. Lots of things I woulda done differently in the game knowing what I do now, but who knows if that woulda worked out as well or not. Go go beginners luck!

Moridin crushes the Coven of the Sprained Ankle something like 9KP to 3.
I made a booboo in selecting my 500 block and Moridin took ample abuse of said mistake to ravage my humble army of hideous beasties. It was a good game against a good opponent, so I can't really be upset by it.
Moridin's MVP: Beaux, the Raider smashing Furioso.
Extreaminatus' MVP: Commoragh Betty, the Voidraven who blew up a Death Company Dread on turn 2.
Deathwing makes it look like everything went according to plan, but really it was a lot of lucky invulnerable saves, and a turn 2 land raider explosion cant be part of my plan anyway. He did kill 15 terminators and the land raider and it looked like he had the game wrapped up when he hit with a st 7 ap2 large blast on 5/6 of the command squad, but 2 5+ saves and the apothecary ignore means only 1 termi dead, and 1 wound on Beliel. Also of mention, the lone terminator on my objective that made his 5+ save against the ap2, and then 5 2+ saves on the last turn to put the draw out of reach.
Moridin, sorry for the weird lapses in scheduling, lets finish this one game so it can stop dragging on. I'm free tomorrow after 8pm western, although I might be available earlier (by an hour or so). Also, Susan, feel like playing a game after you fight Law?

SKARSOL! Your dark kin have some presents for you!
sorry for small blackout that no one noticed. I was playing Mount & Blade Warband which pretty much amounts to a peasant murder simulator. It is... addicting... to *finally* be able to drop a heavy cavalry man with a head shot from a bodkin arrow.
I am available for challenges today (-8GMT), though I know not whom to challenge. Also... while Im expect a waxing on the field, be gentle, I'm not used to using VASSAL, but Im ready to learn it.
Alright, I'll give it a go Ben. I think I've got Vassal down after my first game, but I'm still catching up with 5th ed rules compared to 4th. Sometime after 6pm(CST)?

actually scratch that. Im posting from a friend's computer at the moment. I just got a new vid card to play games, but all of the sudden it started artifacting my screen when I browsed the forums.
Same here, I thought Law had first dibs! I have to finish what I started w/ Moridin, besides. I'll be on till 11pm east, then maybe on ~20 minutes later till an undetermined time.
*shrug* I'm on right now Law; we seem to be two ships at night lately. If we don't get in a game tonight, shoot me a PM with your days/times available, 'cause I really do want to slaughter your dudes.

Not sure what's happening Sharp, should I re-sync?
Hard.

Had to be the worst dice luck I've had in a long time. Everything I tried to do just failed completely.

Deathwing beats Eldar 2-0.
Okay. I'll be around some this afternoon, gmail me (my username) if you want to play. Otherwise I'm available most nights this week I think.
