    Hey look, I have been resurrected! (If anyone missed me)

    Would it be too late to hop in on this? I'd probably start bottom tier, but that's ok with me

    The bottom tier is open anytime someone wants to join in.

    Don't they have to challenge people in the bottom tier to get in? I thought that was how we got challenge tokens.

    That is only if the bottom tier is full, which it isn't, we actually have an entire tier left.

    Susan's Necrons vs PolloDiablo's Guard Horde Result: NECRON VICTORY! (I was as surprised as anyone else)

    This game started out ridiculously, with Pollo quite literally having a hard time fitting all his models on his table quarter while I fielded less than 30 figures total, and ended with extreme gore as my Destroyer wings swept casually over the corpses of hundreds of the Emperor's followers.

    Necron MVPs: My Destroyers (for refusing to die and finally sweeping in behind enemy lines to do some serious damage), and my Deceiver (for scaring off a half-dozen squads while flattening a half dozen more, including a Lemus Russ that exploded in his hands)
    Imperial Guard MVPs: The Basilisks, my God the Basilisks (for wiping out half my force with a single bombardment and nearly winning the game)

    Great game, lots of great moments, and sweet Zombie Jesus was there a lot of blood on the field at the end.

    RenegadeAce's Dark Angels vs Heffling's Armored Orks. Result: ORK VICTORY
    '

    This game started with my speeders and bikes facing down a veritable wall of killer kans.

    My bikes scout move zipped them off behind some cover, where they spent the rest of the game popping out to take the occasional pot shot, while my speeders and terminators began a fighting withdrawal and fired shots fruitlessly into the advancing wave.

    After many turns, the orks managed to plop themselves atop the objectives and chase my speeders around till the game ended.

    Dark Angel MVP: I guess Sammael for surviving the carnage? Also, 24 inch moves.

    Ork MVP: Oh god the forcefields.

    So some odd after the action action tonight. Heffling takes Slapnuts place, and Mazzyx(ORKS) gets bumped up to replace him.

    As you can see Heffling vs Mazzyx(CSM) is coming, so the two of you just figure out a time.

    Also, Sharp if you haven't been challenged by Wednesday I am giving you a token.

    Slapnuts dropped out, and the rules say to replace him with someone with a challenge token in the nearest tier, that would be you.

    Sharp I will challenge you. Wednesday after 8 to 8:30 est would probably be good. Or Thursday at the same time.

    Also Heffling, if either of these work for you let me know.

    Great game, lots of great moments, and sweet Zombie Jesus was there a lot of blood on the field at the end.

    It was pretty rough there. I'm beginning to think I just have plain too many guys, if such a thing is possible. Although there was a brief moment where it seemed the basilisks might get me out of it, they got shredded by the destroyers. It was a fun match.

    After another discussion about ties I am reversing myself and making a tie count as a win for the defender. I thought that ties would not come up much but so far we have 2 ties a week, and it is really slowing the league down. As of now ties make a token switch to the higher tier person.

    Heretical Grey Knights?

    In my 40K league?

    It's more likely than you think!

    So, tie game, Lawinator's GK vs my vanilla space marines running a master of the forge and six dreads. And the Orobouros Razors are pious as pious can be, so obviously, totally the Grey Knights have gone bad in this one. :P

    Anyway, this was the game of hilarious rolls. Brother Captain died to a perils of the warp attack. Two GK marines shrugged off an entire army of firing only to fall to two hail mary bolter shots. I could not roll a scatter roll to save my life, and since he was never even shot at, it means the 155 points I spent on my Master of the Forge was utterly wasted.

    My rhino got hung up in difficult terrain, and so did his Land Raider Crusader.

    Anyway, fun game for the very first time I've run this list. If it'd gone all the way to turn 7, I might've gotten the chance to table him, but it was not to be, so we finished up 5 kp to 5 kp.

    Anyway, new rule means that I lose my token to Lawinator, so someone on tier 5, CHALLANGE ME NOW!

    I learned some things from that game. Key thing is that assaulting a walker with a melta bomb will never work, so when your opponent brings 6 freaking dreads you should just hang your guys back and lascannon em to death.

    That and the multi-melta were pretty effective at that.

    Power fists help too.

    Oh damn, right. 11 is too late for me since I work... Friday night I'm going to the Leafs game, but I could play when I get back (10pm-ish). Or we could try for Saturday/Sunday night.

    Or if Huntzy or Heffling is around tonight, Elder could just give me a token to challenge them :P
