40k: Battle Report Daemons vs Orks

Hey Hey! I'm not dead! Hooray! 

Yea...Holidays, work, etc...

Real life gets in the way too much of my hobbies. 

Sorry for the long time no post but honestly...there is just SO much to talk about and I hate making posts that are only a paragraph or two long, and are mostly just complaining about the current state of the game.

Honestly with so many new things coming out like Codexes, Data Slates, Escalation, Stronghold, and on and on and on, the game has changed dramatically in the last few months. 

I'm still not sure if its for the better or for the worse, but time will tell.

(Personally I am against Escalation and Stronghold being used in regular games and tournaments, and don't get me started on things like Grimore of True Names being banned in tournaments...)

Anyways, finally had a chance to get in a game last week against so I decided to bring my Daemons for old times sake.

Game was Big Guns, Deployment was Dawn of War

My list:

Fateweaver - Prescience, Endurance, Spontaneous Combustion, Invisibility

Keeper of Secrets - Puppet Master, Hallucination, Invisibility (Dark Blessing, 4+ FnP)

10 Pink Horrors

40K December/January League: The Story So Far

With the next Titan Tournament qualifier being an 1850 no allies tournament, I thought Necrons would be the best choice for my personal play style. So, I decided that I would run pure Necrons for the next league to get some practice in. Here's the list:

HQ
Imotekh the Stormlord
Necron Destroyer Lord

• Warscythe 
• Sempiternal Weave
• Mind Shackle Scarabs

Royal Court
Harbinger of Despair

• Veil of Darkness

Elites

10x Deathmarks

• Night Scythe 

Troops
6x Necron Warriors

• Ghost Ark

6x Necron Warriors

• Ghost Ark

6x Necron Warriorsts

• Ghost Ark

6x Necron Warriors

• Night Scythe

Fast Attack
6x Canoptek Wraiths

• 2x Whip Coils

Heavy Support
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge

Week 1:

Opponent: Chaos Space Marines

Deployment: Dawn of War

Objectives: 3x Crusade Objectives + Purge the Alien

Abaddon was still standing at the end but not much of anything else for the Chaos Space Marines. Win for the Necrons.

Week 2:

Opponent: Tyranids

Deployment: Vanguard 

Objectives: Relic + Heavy Support Kills

Squished some bugs. Sadly this opponent has still not figured out how to make legal lists. Oh well, the evil robots still won soundly.

Week 3:

Opponent: Adepta Sororitas

Deployment: Hammer and Anvil

Objectives: 4x Crusade Objectives + Individual Line Breaker Units

Sisters have gotten SO much better. This was a close game. My opponent apparently forgot about his search lights until nearly the end of the game. With Imotekh making it night fight for the first few rounds, it could have been a game changer. I always say 40K is a game of remembering. Usually the player that remembers the most wins, and I remembered the most this game. Thats a win!

Week 4:

Opponent: Orks/Cypher and Chaos Chosen

Deployment: Dawn of War

Objectives: 4x Big Guns Never Tire Objectives + Purge the Alien (Heavy Support Worth 2)

This was only the 2nd or 3rd time I'd ever played Orks. Despite that fact, this game ended on turn 3 with a Necron victory.

So that's where I stand going into week 5. I'm currently 4/4. I don't know that I've ever had this good of a record during a league. I know I've never won a league series. Only 2 more games left. Hopefully I can keep up the momentum and bring home my first league series "W".
