    I also agree that powers can be switched out, as long as you include it in the list you show at the beginning.

    Dark Eldar Spray and Pray Their Way to Victory!

    Sieze ground objective, 5 objectives, spearhead deployment.

    The Dark Eldar took to the field throwing missiles like candy, hoping the smoke would clog the lungs of the enemy and make them go home. Alas, this was not the case as the Blood Angels struck back with a fury, destroying every skimmer in the Dark Eldar raiding force and killing their beloved Haemonculous. In the end, the faithful Wrack servants of the Coven of The Sprained Ankle held fast, capturing two precious objectives to the Blood Angel's 1.

    Simpsonia put up a great game and was a great opponent to play against. I give him a gold star for both sportsmanship AND making me worry about my chances of victory.

    MVPs:
    Dark Eldar: The Razorwings and their guns. Killed more dudes than anything else, even with cover, FNP and a 3+ armor save.
    Blood Angels: The Librarian and his sword psychic power. Killed a squad of grotesques like a hot knife through butter.

    Hrm...

    Extended computer issues are making it likely I'm going to have to back out of this league, sadly. Moridin, not sure what that means for you getting points from our incomplete game, but to be frank you were kind of kickin' my ass and it would have taken a perfect storm of rolls for me to even tie, so I'll go ahead and count that as a win for ya :) .

    I guess I'll play you, Huntzy. I'm on right now.

    Edit: Also, in other news, Tau vs. DE (Sage vs. Halos), Tau are Victorious.
    Strong shooting at the start removed the mobility of his troops (blew his raiders up), along with his HQ/Bruiser squad's mobility. Combined with really low rolls on Halos' part, and he conceded at the start of T 3 (what was sure to be a fun turn of blowing apart the rest of his ravagers, and pelting the rest of his infantry).

    Tau MVUs: Anti-tank for blowing things up, HHs for absorbing fire.
    DE MVUs: Ravagers for not dying immediately.

    Thanks for the points then Susan.

    As for the changing our army core lists on January first.... I worked double shifts on the 31st and the first, so I'll get to it now, and can we change armies completely? Or just our cores a bit?

    No, you can just change the core. Which by the way, if you are taking advantage of this, you need to post the new list.

    I'll probably change my list a bit, depending, just not all at once, gotta test something really quickly (if not, I'll just cut down on a couple of my choices and change a couple of things).

    Huntzy and I are ~1/3 to 1/2 way through our game, but he's really busy for the next bit (hoping to find time for us to finish soon). Sharp, want to play a game at some point?

    Damn, I was looking forward to taking you on. Well next league then. I'll just open up my challenge to the first taker I haven't played yet. I'd like to get a game in this week as I'll be gone on vacation most of next week.

    *shrug* Fair enough, but Best Buy hasn't even contacted me about the status of my deceased laptop, so it's gonna be a while before I'm in any position to game.

    The Deathwing watched curiously as only 3 assault squads showed up to fight, not used to outnumbering a foe they nevertheless went about quickly putting them down, their efficient assaults meant that there were no DW casualties.

    Yeah the Deepstrike dice just totally screwed Simpsonia. 4 mishaps, 2 of them were terrible accident, one was delayed, and 1 was misplaced and I put them in the opposite corner of the action on a 4x6. He conceded on turn three when his last squad to DS was the second terrible accident. There were no DW casualties due to the clever use of Landraiders. It was a terrible game and I felt bad winning that way. I hope I get to play a real game against you.

    Oh yeah he also lost 4 guys to a heavy bolter, and an assault cannon fired at BS5. Just terrible luck.

    That was probably the most awful luck I've ever seen or had in any 40k game. Though, terrible luck seems to be a recurring theme in my last few games, hopefully that was rock bottom.

    David Bowie's Space Pirates defeat the hordes of the Green Goblin in a typically sadistic fashion!

    Or to be more precise Extreaminatus conceded after turn 2 when Baron Sathonyx's Shadow Field shorted out at a critical moment.

    The game was Annihilation with a Dawn of War deployment and despite putting up a good show Extreaminatus' horde of Hellions and Reavers were cut down by the massed fire. Ending the game at 2KP to 4.

    MVPs:
    Extreaminatus: The squad of Hellions who escaped the battle unscathed.
    Mine: The Kabalite Trueborn who scored five wounds against Baron Sathonyx, the first of which destroyed his Shadow Field.

    Natus, he has to finish the game with me first (granted, it'd be a slaughter, so we could just say it's done, and maybe in the next 3-4 weeks he'll have time for a game with you).

    Edit: When he responds to my PM about what time he's free, I'll toss this idea back at him.
