Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Cool! I'll set up a room
2011 PAX Warmachine/Hordes Champion
EDIT: Disregard; done it...
Angels MVP: Librarian and Sanguinary priest, after losing their whole assault squad took down 7 chrisis suits and 2 broadsides.
Tau MVP: Those same chrisis suits for murdering 10 assault marines in one turn of shooting.
Most useless - 2 Furiosos which managed to do absolutely nothing all game before exploding horribly. Also me for forgetting to roll for red thirst 3 games running now, and forgetting about my librarian's shield power to prevent an entire squad from getting murdered by plasma.
The mission was Seize Ground (4 objectives) using the Dawn of War deployment on a board criss-crossed with rivers and dotted with ruins.
Necron MVP: 3 squads of 4 Destroyers were absolutely on fire, whether it was scoring 6 penetrating hits on a Raider in turn 2 or passing all their FnP rolls in turn 3 pretty much every dice they touched turned to gold.
Dark Eldar MVP: A toss up between the combined wieght of fire of 2 Warrior squads downing the Deciever before it could do anything and the Chronos Parasite Engine which swept out of the webway and really put the pressure on the Necron ranks.
Most useless unit was undoubtedly the Wyches. Their raider was gunned down on turn 1 and many of their number soon followed. Only 1 wych survived to the end of the game. A pity too as they had the Haywire grenades needed to hurt the Monolith...
All in all an excellent game and I heartily thank Susan for it.
In another epic game against Eldercat, the Dark Eldar pull their turn 5, then turn 6, then turn 7 douche baggery in contesting objectives held by the enemy with vehicles.
Seven damn turns...After a disappointing 3 rounds of shooting at each others vehicles, assaults began and ended poorly for the Dark Eldar attackers, leaving them with a handful of vehicles. Seizing the opportunity for victory, however, they sped towards their opponents held objectives and put the parking break on, allowing them to escape back to the webway with their true objective seized.
Eldercat had me seriously outgunned, but the dice were with me in the end it seemed. It was truly an epic game, like we keep having it seems, and Eldercat is a terrific opponent.
MVPs:
Extreaminatus: Flickerfields, since no actual unit did much of anything except make saves based on these little beauties.
Eldercat: The Master of the Deathwing for pretty much scattering my scoring units and HQ practically on his own.

Seriously, he made 10 5+ saves in a row, and then he missed 2 and I managed a weapon destroyed and a stunned, then he made 10 more 5+ saves in a row, the only way I was able to kill any vehicle is charging it, 12 power fist attacks finally managed to do something, but at that point I was only able to kill 1 a turn, he ended up having 1 more vehicle than he needed to contest all 3!! points I held with troops.
Im glad to be working, but with all the stuff i gotta do at night to prep for the next day, I dont have any free time (on top of that, Im going to be working on a cruise ship for the better part of january, so any decent amount of internet is EXPENSIVE)
Im going to have to bow out of season 3, and try again in season 4.

Sage, can you please not interfere with League matches you're not in? You were kinda repeatedly negatively impacting the game back there; it ain't cool.

I can play you if you like, I'm free pretty much all day today. Tomorrow I've got a game with Huntzy but today or Friday is fine.

Edit: I'm idling in the lobby Simpsonia.
Game called in Round 5. I had no troops left and Simpsonia was running away from my guys to preserve the draw.
I'm around all day today if anyone wants to play that I havent yet.
The Greater Good prevails.
Swapping out various unneeded units (Hammerheads) in favor of more AP1/2 turned out to be in the Tau's favor. Excellent turn 1 shooting disabled Elder's Dread and immobilized his Land Raider, forcing his command squad to make the rest of the trip on foot. I slowly nibbled away his forces from there, killing terminators with some AP 2 and 1 weaponry, but mostly relying on massed wounds to do the job (Strangely, Belial took two wounds to missiles on the first and second turns, so bad luck there). I finally claimed 2 objectives to Elder's one, and took him down to one final squad of 3 guys, removing his ability to take two objectives at the same time (he'd still have to shoot well to stretch his guys on both objectives, while stopping other units from contesting, and make tons of saves to pull off a draw). Decent game, still, with sub-par rolls on Elder's side.
Sage's MVP: Railguns for taking out mech 1st turn, although I'm sure others would rather my suits get it for wounding Belial twice w/ regular weapons.
Elder's MVP: Probably Missile termies for finally killing some of my suits.
Edit: What I meant was before gametime (ie when revealing auxiliary lists, rather than having it be part of the locked in core that is posted on page 1).
