    Question, can we try a different codex entirely?

    No, it's escalation not transformation.

    When we redo the core, can we also redo our blocks?

    Going for a bit of a radical change from previous tactics, focusing on my strengths and minimizing my weaknesses. Risky, but then again, considering I'm tied for last place, there's only one direction to go :) .

    Susan's NEW Necrons
    795 Points:
    2-10 Warrior Squads (360pts)
    4xDestroyers (200pts)
    Monolith (235 pts)

    3x Destroyers (150pts)

    Block 2:

    Block 3:
    4x Destroyers (200pts)

    Block 4:

    Ok, if I understand my screwed up section of the schedule right, I'm due for a match against smurfy and mazzyx, with a third match depending on me v. smurfy.

    I'll be on from now until around midnight, if anyone is up for playing.

    edit: Maybe not. Are the servers down right now?

    Okay, will just post the results real fast for our game.

    Chaos wins in annihilation 7 kp to 2 kp.

    MVPs of the game:

    Chaos-Greater Demon who just jumped from squad to squad smashing people in the face. Also the pred who lived and did tons of damage.

    Guard-The Leman Russ who could never miss. It never scattered, killed the pred autocannon and a vindicator. Also my save dice on my prince who could not make a single save all game with a 3+ armor. Also the one guard squad who shot my prince to death with 3 wounds in one round and then ran from casualties and lived to tell the tale.

    It was a rough time for the guard. There was some uncanny rolling happening on my side of the table, but I couldn't make it amount to much. Mostly it was a ton of light infantry getting cut to ribbons by tanks and a demon. I had high hopes for the basilisks, since his vehicles all started bunched together, and the first volley was on target. They didn't do as much damage as I'd hoped, though. That darn predator even survived two direct earthshaker shells.

    But yeah, my favorite unit was the squad that got me 50% of my kill points and lived to tell the tale to the commissars before summary execution.

    Team Edward and Team Jacob had to call the match early, but both had an objective so the great debate rages on: Vampires or Werewolves? The world may never know.

    OK guys... there were 4 games that didn't happen this week, that's 8 players, more than half the league.

    How would you guys feel about taking this week off and try and let the games catch up?

    Also, I think the next league should be a challenge league, so it can continue if people can't play one week.
