My Skaven have expanded slightly

Got a game vs Mike tomorrow.  So I got my Skaven out of storage. And has managed to lose my plague furnace and screaming bell, very sad face.

So visted GW today, picked up 2 clanrat boxes.  An island of blood box, replacement furnace/bell, Doomwheel and a hellpit abom.

Adds another 80+ rats to the force some heavy hitters.  So got that to look forward to painting, then just 120 rats to go before I consider it all finished.

Really need my airbrush back.

X-Wing

There was an X-wing tournament on Saturday.  Great fun. Only 4 of us though :(

I did win though with a loss and two Match wins.
I took:-
 Biggs and R2-F2 for the extra Agi
Luke with R2-D2 and Draw their fire to absorb any crits and regen the shields
And Man of the match Wedge Antilles with marksmanship, proton torpedoes,  Also took R5-K8 which may have been pretty pointless.

Game 1 was versus Simon. He had Garven Dreis, Dutch Vander and Wedge.
Amusingly our first two turns were almost exactly the same.  Banked in formation towards each other, Forward a bit and then more banking.  My 3 rogues managed to destroy His Wedge, and Biggs survived the inevitable battering he gets.  After that it really was mop up duty.

Game 2 was v Brian.  He had I believe Turr Phenir, Howlrunner, Backstabber and 2 other ties, maybe black squadron.  Wedge showed his worth.  One shotting At least two ties.  Was a massacre to be honest.  My dice were hot, Brians were less so.

Game 3 Was v Steve who had 5-6 academy ties and a bounty hunter.  Swarm was probably the worst thing I could of faced.  Didn't go well.  Made the mistake of going for the firespray.  Ended up losing Biggs early, Wedge went down soon after and Luke tried to survive but just as time was called he failed to dodge anything and went down.

So man of the match was most definitely Wedge.  Hes a monster. Could of dropped his droid and maybe taken a stealth device on Biggs. Synergy is the key really in X-Wing, or mass fire.
