    It was the best stratagem in the game for awhile. But what Fluger said is correct. Its basically a counter-stratagem stratagem. But with some pretty harsh costs. Only once a game, 4cp.

    Hold up, Vect is once per game!??!?  I got robbed!

    At one point when I was up in B-ham, we did a "No Space Marines" Tournament. A bit looser, but it was still a whole lot of fun. Possibly better to do something wacky like that as a one-off event than an ongoing one.

    Or like the Ork Only tournament Gamer Haven is throwing.

    But on the whole 8th Edition has been so much stronger in that balance department with its willingness like Privateer Press, to fix the "oops" on points and such.  

    That's what sold me on Warmahordes and why I did it for most of 6th and 7th, but the 40k universe is just too compelling.

    Sure, it seems cheap 

    That's over a quarter of the army in points (545).  That's Castellan levels of pricey and they aren't really that resilient to dedicated shooting.  Target the grots first and have them run away, then hit the lootas.  Deep striking/outflanking shooty units can also clear em.  To get the most of em you're using 4 or 5 (depending on if they are using grot screens) CP a turn. 

    NOT saying they're bad, just not cheap.

  5. Used the same tournament list against a new friend I found on Facebook.  He had a Eldar/DE list with a big unit of grotesques. 

    We did the ITC mission with the 4 objectives and 2 are precious.

    I had some good early luck and made all my charges after "deepstrike" early and rolled up his army on one flank.  Ended up going to turn 6 but I had primaries in hand and end up winning.

    Thoughts:

    1.  Painboy to heal Warboss is a nice idea.  Too many snipers and psychic powers can neuter him before he gets to do work.  In a similar vein, I need to put together my warboss in mega armor for better protection in melee.  

    2.  Warpath/Da Jump is worth the CP.

    3.  Blood Axe remains decent, but if I wasnt committed to theme, Goff Ard Boyz seem bananas.  S5 is such a major jump. Wounding virtually every unit in the game at at least 5s is pretty slick.

    4.  Lootas did pretty well due to hammer and anvil and my sea of boyz keeping the shorter ranged eldar units from shooting them.  Ended up killing grotesques pretty well.

    5.  Dice roller app for the win!  Cut time by so much!  

    I'm excited too because we're going to try and make Friday night at the Tree Fort in Puyallup a thing!  Yay.

    My plan is to have a 6-point Anglo-Saxon warband as my primary. Maybe make a 4-point Viking warband, for demonstrating the game to new players (and maybe running as Saxons if I ever play a really big game).

    I have 6 pts of Carlonigians and 4 pts of Romans.
