This Day is Like, Totally Metal.

Listening to Dethklok, Amon Amarth, Lamb of God even some old White Zombie.

Just in that kind of mood.

A Way For 6th to Help Nids, and a Question on Hive Guard

Ok, I'm just going to throw this out there because I have been thinking about it for a while.

A simple change to the base rules that would go far to promoting Nids as a competitive army. They might still have issues with anti-tank, but at least their anti-infantry elements would be on par for a "good" assault army.

Make the Move Through Cover USR allow the unit to ignore the initiative reducing effects of charging into cover. It's a change to the core rules that would really help this army.

2k Nids versus Blood Angels... You Asked, I Deliver

Well, I got a good opportunity to take my list for a test drive. Chappy was gracious enough to lend me two Zoanthropes so that I could be WYIWYG. My list, for reference:

Tyranid Prime, Regeneration, LW/BS, Scything Talons
Tyranid Prime, Regeneration, LW/BS, Rending Claws

Zoanthropes x 2
Hive Guard x 2
Hive Guard x 2

A Bit of Hobby... Genestealers

Tonight: repurposing ten Space Hulk genestealers, putting them on round bases and cleaning them up for painting.

I need 30 total to run the 2k list I've been wanting to try out. I think I posted this before but here it is again for reference.

Last Weekend... The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Part the Second

Alright, time to make good on my promise to finish my description of this tumultuous weekend of gaming.

It’s got drama, it’s got suspense. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry.

The first part I discussed “the bad” wherein I screwed up and it cost me some moolah and a few reputation points.

Next, let’s discuss the “ugly” and then I’ll finish up with the “good.”

One of my tournament players had brought a 57 Jokaero and Coteaz list to play.

May Day...

...will have a whole new meaning for me now.

God bless the analysts and operators who made this happen, and the leaders who had the balls to give the go ahead.

I hope those Special Forces guys took the time to carve the initials of a victim on every bullet before they left to send Bin Laden to hell.

What a Weekend... (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Pt 1).

What an amazing movie. That reminds me, when is True Grit out on DVD...?

Man, I've got lots to talk about. Let's start at the beginning.

This weekend I ran a Rogue Trader Tournament. We had a pretty small turnout but honestly that just made it really easy for me so no complaints on that front.

The last tournament I had taken far too long in determining the winners of the tournament. This was almost entirely because of the extremely labor intensive process of manually inputting the Sportsmanship scores for each player.
