    Extreaminatus has led the forces of Slaanesh to victory!

    It was an interesting match, with the guard dug in and chaos advancing. His demon princes performed really well, knocking out the whole left side of the board. By the end, I was off my objective, and he still had his, winning 1-0.

    I was terribly surprised that princes actually made it into combat, they're usually the big fire magnets when they're out there. I was also really surprised that Pollo's guns didn't do more damage as I was coming up the board, but I suppose there were just too many targets to choose from.

    It was an excellent game and Pollo, as always, was an excellent opponent.

    Alright Pollodiablo, it's time to capitalize on your nigh-perfect record! I challenge you! I'm free on Wednesday, probably later in the evening (after 5pm western).

    Pollo lost ... so you can't challenge him.

    Oh, he lost a defenders game. Basically Elder, it looks like 2/4 people at level 2 are afk (renegade and fogrob). Renegade is taking a break, but I haven't heard of Fogrob, so I'd like to get experience with different kinds of armies, beyond just changing small things about my army against the same person (although I would like to fight you again at some point, either with both our dexes having custom stuff, or neither).

    So, Extreaminatus, I challenge, you, 5pm western, Vassal, be there or be good.

    has there been any news about the next season?
    I heard rumors of 1000pt cores and 500pt auxillaries.

    I figure vassal would be a phenominal way to test out an army or two before I commit to $500 worth of mini's

    I believe Eldercat did indeed say 100 pt core, and then 500 pts of whatever else you want that can change between matches.

    Also, I love Vassal for trying out units before I buy them. Did it for pretty much my whole BA army

    EDIT: Meant 1000

    I had permission, but no power since a large tree branch decided to pass out on the (still external) power line to my house (I live in a heavily wooded lot in the neighborhood). I'll try for friday night, though, hopefully I'll have a place to play.

    Ok, since this league is winding down, and I am already thinking of the next army list and salivating over 1500 points to play with, I am going to set a hard limit of 14 days to this league, so on Thanksgiving I will declare the winner, and start the signups for the next league.

    I am also going to eliminate tier 5, since if I kick off fogrob and anyone else it will roll up, sage and extreame I will give the winner of your match an extra challenge token if you still want to fight, just like I have 2 challenge tokens.

    The next league will be open challenge, you can challenge anyone else in the league, but you can't challenge them again until you have fought everyone in the league. I will be keeping score, 1 point for a draw, 2 points for a win. Challenges will remain good for 72 hours, if not accepted the challenger will receive 1 point. The league will run a set time limit: Valentines day, Feb 14th, will be the end day for this league.

    1500 point games, you must post a 1000 point list when you sign up, the other 500 points will be free to fill however you want each game.

    So Gabe is taken, and Susan has a history of doing bad things to my mans.

    Huntzy! You around for a game some time in the next couple days?




    I've also reworked my list a little bit. I swapped one squad to the other platoon, so I can have three double squads instead of two triple ones, and have jiggled their guns a little bit. One pair has only autocannons, one pair has only plasma guns, and one has both. I found that two gigantic squads weren't versatile enough. This way I should be able to split my fire a little better, and actually move around a bit, too.

    Here's the new core, courtesy of battle scribe:
    HQ

    Company Command Squad (70pts)
    Selections: Vox Caster (5pts)
    Company Commander (15pts)
    Selections: Laspistol, Power Fist (15pts)
    Troops

    Infantry Platoon (235pts)
    Infantry Squad (125pts)
    Selections: Plasma Gun (15pts), Vox Caster (5pts)
    Commissar (45pts)

    Platoon Command Squad (35pts)

    Alright dude, no worries. I should be hanging out in Vassal between 8 and 9. If you're on, awesome, if you're not, that's cool too; RL comes first.

    And the saga of the organic vs the inrganic, the vast Hive Mind and the cold calculating C'tan has concluded this chapter.

    Mission: Capture and Control
    Deployment: Spearhead

    The confines of the arid village today saw much conflict. The Necrons were backed into a corner, unable to break out of the encircling hordes, any who tried were overwhelmed and brought down. Even the Deceiver couldn't withstand the scuttling tide of gaunts swarming upon him, and was eventually brought down as he tried to flee. Genestealers, seeking to surprise the Necrons, were suprised in turn as their readied gauss weaponry flayed them into smoking chunks.

    As the smoke cleared, and the blood pooled, only was thing was definitively decided. May perished, with no gain.

    Result: Tie 1 point to 1. Moridin gets a token!

    MVP Nids: The gaunts who enabled me to trap the Deceiver with his fallback trickery and remove him from play, without blowing up even.

    MVP Necrons: Destroyers who demolished all of my Genestealers with their ap4 str 6 cannons. Brought down a whole unit in a single volley (Except for the Broodlord)

    Up next for the slavering horde? Grey Knights appear to be on the menu.
