bad news

Due to imminent life emergencies I may not be doing any gaming for a few months.   This makes me sad.

Dark Angels

So there are pics from the new white dwarf floating about with the new dark angels in them.

Once I picked myself off the floor from laughter, heres a brief opinion.

Belial - boring
Asmodai - good to see you buddy
Land Speeder vengeance - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  Are gw gunning for worst miniature ever or something?  Has an impressive looking plasma cannon type thing though.  Begging for conversion work done to it.
Ravenwing Dark talon - Stormtalon...with wings!! Looks alright
Deathwing command - Good
Deathwing knights - I like. Rumoured to have two wounds, "yay"
Ravenwing knights - Awesome.  Rumoured to have two wounds, an actual yay.  They are going be broken as all hell...like nob bikers.  With plasma guns, probably insanely point costed.

I am sorely tempted by Ravenwing. and they haven't touched Sammael thank god.

Monsterpocalypse

Darren forgot, but still got a game in...sort of.

If anything, it's hammered in how god awfully shite I am at teaching.

But still, there was interest shown.  if only Privateer hadn't killed it off.   Shall try again next week after reminding Darren, possibly everyday next week if need be, he shall not forget..  And maybe some more will show interest, I can't remember who else had figures.  It's a great game.

Also there's a trailer for Pacific Rim.  Which could so be a monsterpocalypse movie.  But it isn't.  It has the voice of Glados (portal) as the mech's AI, which is genius.


I wonder whats happening with the MonPoc movie.  Apparently the lack of news is because of movie development secrets or some nonsense, who knows.

imperial guard vs chaos marines

So me vs Marko's Chaos Marines we shall call this the battle of the sponge.  Almost everything had an invulnerable save.  Rather annoyingly it was the kill points mission and as always I had over double the number of kill points to give up as my opponent.

Turn 1 I lost my commander to a khorne champion on juggernaut.

Turn 2 I did however obliterate a unit of berzerkers after forcing them out the rhino..  The only unit without a invulnerable took 18 plasma wounds.  One guy survived as they were in cover, but it did bring up the issue of vehicles nowadays.  You can't assault after getting out one, including when you got out because your ride was destroyed.  An assault unit in a rhino is looking at a turn 3 combat at the earliest, not a great idea.  Although it does get them across the board sharpish.

After that was a sad affair.  Took my entire army to deal with a unit of thousand sons.  And the last guy ate the combined shooting from 3 units.

I now hate obliterators.  They just cannot be killed, especially with a 4+ invulnerable.  I killed everything in Marko's army except these guys.  I was unlucky to consistently miss with my lascannons/plasma gun, but still.

End result was 12-6.  He had first blood (My commander) and Warlord and line breaker from one of the thrice damned obliterators in my deployment zone.  Plus a number of units. 

Stupid invulnerable saves.   Had a normal Leman Russ,  that was a waste.  Would of been better of with a demolisher.  Other than was a surprisingly solid list.
