Captain Raine was pleased with his unit's week 1 victory, but reminds The Bastards that it is not enough.

I will be a WOW on sunday at 3 lookin for a 750 point game.

I'll be there looking for 750 escalation league and possible 1000 is mission is posted (if that's ok, I'm out of town for next week).

Tough sell, or an easy sell?

Start building Custodes now and then add in Sisters when they become available. Sold!

Heck, I may start working on this!

Nix these. Go full faith with Sisters of Battle!!! Add in some of the Custodes and you could have a hilariously fun army with a strong slap you in the face faction! Oh and you get to shoot Missiles out of Pipe Organs

I love everything about this suggestion. 

Thanks. Wasn't sure if we each needed to turn one in, or if one for the match was good enough.

Week one was a loss to Apathy Ales' Blood Angles

Azurg Tug (Big Mek with shok attack gun), brought a small bunch of gits to face the vampire "heros" of the Imperium

We started strong but just could kill enough of them red gits to take the day...Damn smash captain is a beast!

Tim played well and pulled the victory 5 to 4 it was a close and brutal battle and I can't wait for a rematch

Was a fun game for sure! 

Are you turning that sheet in tonight, and/or do I need to fill in one of my own?

Getting excited for my Sunday game!

I appreciate the offer, this was in regards to Sunday's game night. I was able to get my 500 point game done, so I'll be looking for 750 this upcoming weekend, as I'm unable to do Tuesdays.

I can't do Tuesdays either, so I'll be looking for 750 on Sunday.

Noooooooo!!! You are stealing my material! I was gunna do a new movie quite every week!

Hehehehe

Yeah, I think there are gunna be a few good ones.

Sounds like a few of us will be at WOW Sunday. I'm definatly hoping to get 2 games in.

I definately will be looking for a league game or two.

Coaching, huh? I think you should have stuck with only a single powerhouse HQ. Mephiston AND the smashcaptain occupied too many of your points and left your other units in a bad position. Between the two surviving marine squads, they should have had the tools to beat that broadside in melee, at range, or a combination of the two. I suggest getting the scouts a cheap powersword on the sergeants, or giving them missile launchers. 

Don't get me wrong, you were definitely winning and would have probably won if not for our crazy additional opponents idea mid game.

The problem I run into is BA troop choices stink. We are a melee army, not a shooty army. As someone else said earlier, it really is a struggling faction right now (especially if you trying to play mono faction like I am). We have HQ's that hit hard (Mephiston, Lemartes, Libby Dread, Smash Captain, Dante, Asorath, the sanguinator) and elites, and at 500 points its near impossible to field any of my elites (death company and/or Sanguinary Guard). I will totally try and bring a less aggressive list for actual week one, but also, our HQ's just hit hard and zip aroynd the board (flying deadnaught!), so it's hard to not end up feeling like I'm just playing generic space marines. For what it's worth, I've only won 1 or 2 games ever (out of about a dozen) so I am used to having to bring some hard hitters, sorry if I over did it.

See ya Sunday!

Hay! What's going on here!?!?!

Can i get a coach (or two) too? 

Man, I'm gunna need an entirely new list for Sunday!

For what it's worth, I had 8 command points, so I had a few tricks to play with.

Hay, at 500 points it's hard, if not impossible, to plan for everything. Playing the actual league missio  will be hard for me because I will have minimal to no board control (if this is the list I end up bringi g). Can't wait to get to 1,000 points! 750 is gunna be a real odd week for me.

Yeah, you are spot on. Normally he's a character hunter for me in larger point games. Not ideal for a smaller game, but it's what I had so I made do. 

Was fun and nice meeting everyone. Will be there next Sunday for some escalation week 1 games!

-----tim g

Someone save room for a game on Sunday!

Works for me. I'll be there at 3 and bringin' my Blood Angels. Looking forwed to meeting some people.

Thinking of coming out for first time for a pre-escalation game or two. Anyone still looking for a 40k game?

Is there going to be a Sunday crowd? I'm new and don't know anyone, but can't make Tuesdays. Would love to get involved, but curious how many people will be looking for newer(ish) player games on Sundays...?...

Hay all I'm new to this, so sorry if these are silly questions. 

So how will this work? Will games be on a set day (hopefully not the Tuesday that's listed as start day, I work late-ish Mon-Thurs, but weekeends are pretty open)? How frequent will games be?

Will this be geared towards new(ish) players?

Do we need to sign up or anything like that?

Thanks in advance for the info!
