| Objective(s) Complete! |
My game of 40k really inspired the need to make objective markers. At the beginning of the game, my opponent and I numbered clockwise each 2'x2' section and placed a market of some kind in each (4 Inquisitorial henchmen and 2 statues). I wanted to make sure the markers "hid" the numbers as part of a small diorama on each base.
Quick battle summaries after the break.
Hard fight against the Black Legion
At 2,000 points against Black Legion, I fielded a mix of my 3rd Company of Ultramarines and a small detachment of Grey Knights. My opponent narrowly won after 4 turns (store closing), with my army mostly missing from the field by this point and plenty of black armored fallen space marines roaming around.
Dwarfs destroyed by Ogres
As part of the store's on-going narrative campaign, I faced Ogres with my Dwarfs. My Dwarfs barely damaged the hostile army. The main hitting unit of the Ogre's was a unit of Mournfang's; 3 of them destroyed my gunline over the course of 2 turns, leaving only my delayed block of Ironbreakers to fight a last stand against the Ogre core.
A 2k-point game of 40k?? I haven't heard of one of those in many, many years! Why, whatever inspired y'all to depart from the "standard" 1850 format?
ReplyDeleteThe joys of not practicing for tournament play. The "standard" 1850 used to not be the standard and was created for tournaments to prevent Tyranid players from bringing special creatures (like Old One Eye) at a time when no one else could bring special characters to tournaments. The Tyranids had two characters, one that could only be brought in games of less than 1750 and another that could only be brought in games of 2000 or more. It is no longer valid - they should go back to the 1500 standard in my opinion.
