It didn't go well for me. I was not able to repel firepower of that magnitude. 6 twin linked lascannons a round did me in. however, all he had left was the 2 vendettas...I had nothing. Major loss<br /><br /><br />2nd game<br /><br />Vs Dark Angels. <br /><br />I did a bit better, actualy but still took the loss, mainly due to my style of play. 4 5 man tac squads, 2 razorbacks was his army.<br /><br />I rolled through, and on the last turn, he had 5 marines left, and I had my chaplain and 3 assault marines.<br /><br />next turn, I would have destroyed him, but the game ended.<br /><br />he was on the points, I was not close enough.<br /><br />Till next time<br /><br />KeithKeithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08653737381155134875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315725934846430545.post-3428977855854801612009-12-16T22:49:00.000-08:002009-12-16T22:52:22.190-08:00So...<br /><br />I have converted to a Black Templars Army... They are both fun and effective.

(However, I dont' think I can give him a melta via 5e)<br />Old School Chaplin with bolt pistol and Sword (Power or not)<br /><br /><br />Snap/Fit Dev Squad... I am not sure how many of them I will be able to savage. I have already slavaged the bolt pistol/Chain Sword from the Sgt.<br />2 Missle Launchers (Might be salvagable)<br />1 Lascannon (salvagable)<br />1 Plasma Cannon (Salvagable)<br />Approx 8 Random Snap/Fit Marines<br /><br /><br />Note.. No Vehicles.. Not even a dreadnaught.<br /><br />I think I am gonna keep it that way for a bit, and play a SM "Horde" army and see how it goes... It was pretty tough last time I played, cause I played against IG.. and the Armor was a problem.<br /><br /><br />Till Next time<br /><br />KeithKeithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08653737381155134875noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315725934846430545.post-68377441195664599662009-11-14T03:34:00.000-08:002009-11-14T03:37:21.527-08:00Lost Marines Oh My...So, Headed over to Mom and Dads house the other day...<br /><br />Mom was like.. take all of that old stuff from school you have (Awards, grades, little league baseball pics).<br /><br />I was like.. fine...

Back in to 40k<br /><br />I blame Lantz. Seeing him play was just to much. Well, that and Dawn of War.<br /><br /><br />I broke out the old Hormaguants... realized they all need to be stripped, and went to town, they are all now stripped and primed black...<br /><br />Wait, you don't realize what I mean.. These are the Old Style metal Hormagaunts. The ones that were 2 to a blister for 7 bucks (back in the early 90's.)<br /><br />I have 34 of them...<br /><br />I then tried to use the simple green method on the old genestealers I had.. It reacted poorly with the plastic, and made them VERY brittle... they broke into many pieces.. unfortunately, it was a sad day, as 9 soliders were lost that day, never to return.<br /><br />I also have located an old school lictor (minus the tall back claw thingies)<br />2 old school biovores.<br /><br />This is the nucleus of my new bug army...<br /><br />Till next time...<br /><br />KeithKeithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08653737381155134875noreply@blogger.com2
