Battles!!

Yes plural

Vs versus Tau, kill points.  Turns out I can be outshot a great deal.  Also broadsides > tanks.  Stupid cover.  Lost 9 kill points to 5.

Also played a friendly game versus Richard.  Was slightly unbalanced. To be fair his army was very all round.  But couldn't do much versus me.  There was also some atrocious rolls.  If it could go wrong, it did for the Eldar.
Won turn one, and the roll off for objective placement of the 3 objectives.  And if theirs anything guard can do, it's defend versus anyone walking across the board.  And I had two of the objectives right next to me. 
Turn one saw me annihilate the seer council, who unfortunately had not got fortune yet.  The farseer survived with a single wound to die later to volume of fire. More misfortune when my vanquisher pure sniped a wave serpent out the sky behind ruins.  Also Hellhounds > rangers.  Who only really survived the onslaught due to be on two levels of  a ruin.  They did immobilise the tank in return with an extremely well placed sniper rifle shot.
The rest of the game saw the falcons try to snipe what that could behind cover, but I don't think they hit anything all game.  Manage to immobilise a chimera on terrain, So some guys had to get out to to claim the objective.  Banshees attempted to reach them from their immobilised wave serpent, but rolled a 2 for running, not quite making it.  Game ended there.  2-1 Guard, yay.

What i've painted

An old internet buddy thought about starting 40k, so mid discussion I figred I would take a (bad) photo of what I have. So took everything that I've actually painted and took the photo.

Ta da!!

Rules

Been having fun arguing on a internet forum about 40k rules.

The 40k rulebook is full of holes. I'm not really one to pick at this, but if someone ask a question or brings up a point, I do get an urge to be correct.
You can tell people what happens, and they will refuse to listen. They seem to what to stick to their interpretation because it makes sense. But the 40k rules have a fair amount of abstraction involved. Stuff often makes no sense.

The more you look into 40k rules, the more absurd it becomes. I'm glad I don't tend to question stuff that much in games unless I really beleive I am right, or am totally unsure (which is when I am most dangerous at makign a fool of one self). Or at least I hope I don't question that much. If I do, I apologise to everyone who I do it to.

The internet, populated by idiots since 1970 whenever it was.
