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!

I'll do my best to take lots of pictures during the day tomorrow and post them up as soon as I can.
Rumor (and this is a HUGE RUMOR! so take with a mountain of salt) is that Chaos will get a "Mechanical Dragon" in their Codex for 6th Edition as a flier.

I wanted to leave the devestators out of a pod but I figure if I dont get first turn they will just get wiped off the board. I thought about podding the assault marines to get the devestators on first turn with the dc- reclusiarch and one of the dreads but I think having the mobility of the jumppacks is a big plus.
Lots of pictures to go through. I should be able to get them up tonight or tomorrow.
edit: Holy shit I took over 80 pictures today... time to sort through these.
There better be a way for me to just take a Chaos Lord with MoS and have Noise Marine troop choices.
If not, I will poop in my pants and throw a tantrum.
edit: Sad face about the daemons being gone.
While I expected special characters to unlock cult troops as elites, I'm not fond of it. It's a terrible mechanics made to sell special characters. There's better ways of doing it, and GW knows it.
I now present them to you with no other comments. An actual writeup about the day and results will have to wait

"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
Some of those tables are incredibly sparse of terrain.
And other tables are very dense. It is all related to the missions (which I posted earlier)
The Baneblade table needs the clear lane down the middle for the tank to move across easily and scare the player into playing defense instead of moving up. But the lack of area terrain/cover means you will have to keep moving. Basically, to win you need to be aggressive or bide your time and wait for the best moment to strike. Either way you will lose lots of models.
Also, it keeps players on their toes as they don't know what the battlefield will be like. Each table is different enough that most players will have to adapt and change their tactics from game to game.
I did pretty deece all things considering. Won one game vs deathguard (on the baneblade mission. My blob squad meltabombed it to death), got absoltuly trashed vs deffrolla circus orks (on Line breaker. Deff rollas meant he just rolled over all my special defensive terrain), and tied the third vs iron warriors (crux of the matter) He killed 15 more VPs of guys, but I had I guess 15 more VPs on objectives. Weird.
All in all, I had a blast (I also haven't slept in 20 hours). Kudos to sharp.
Marbo, right before he wiffed his detpack right off the table (6" scatter), and then proceeded to get plasma'd to death.
In 3 games, he killed 4 marines.
The remnants of a 20 man blob, in glorious 'flying v' formation after 3 turns of legging it across the empty tundra.
They charged a single death-guard sergeant, who punched some guys in the face. They failed their stubborn check with an 11, commissar shot a sergeant, they then rolled an 11 again and got wiped out by said deathguard.
This happened twice in two successive games.
Everything else that didn't get photos taken did pretty good though. COINCIDENCE?
I HAS A BLOG NOW! FOLLOW ME!
That would let me run my stuff as elysians for next weekend's apoc game. 7 flyers should be interesting (3 vendettas, 1 valkyrie, 3 vultures), along with ~50-60 deep striking guardsmen to go with my Templars.
Hahaa, yeah. Those belong to a buddy of mine.
Edit: Also those yellow kans, so nice! and those iron warriors! Oh man
That link goes to this thread. I think you meant this:

No. Bad Asher, say focused on Dark Elves. One army at a time!
I didn't go to a tourney yesterday but stopped by our store during the tourney. Unfortunately despite all my bleatings dudes still don't know how to setup terrain.

Those Tyranids are nice.
It makes the games more interesting and necessary to use tactics to move and fire, or move and hide! Fun to watch Tau and I.G. actually have to move to get Line-of-Sight to fire!
And yes, the Terrain we use IS large enough to hide a Valkyrie and/or Tervigon behind!
