You can sort of judge how the game is going as it proceeds, so I can estimate whether it is worth saving them for future turns, or I am on my way to getting tabled, I can use them up quickly. <br />I have already written up an army review for the tournament, but I can put some thoughts together on the tournament itself as well.

I think those rolls have been plaguing you on and off forever, no? <br /><br />I'm really not of the superstitious kind, but even I had to get rid of 2 sets of dice because I could've sworn that they HATE me.<br /><br />Then I have my Dark Eldar dice which are ace more often than not, and my Infinity dice that have to be treated well or they'll punish me. Craziness I know, but seriously, throw your dice away!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199583732490727488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-54936889689986982352017-07-14T08:26:45.151+01:002017-07-14T08:26:45.151+01:00Thanks for the compliment Chris!

He did nothing all game and then hit with two overwatch Krak missiles. If only he had survived to win me the game, I would have been overjoyed. I think he would have had a chance were it not for all the "rending" shots the Dire Avengers could put out.

When I go into my army review for the tournament, more long range anti-tank fire is what I feel I need to add. I am currently trying to pick up some more missile launchers to add to the force.

I was rooting from you from the beginning but having faced Eldar 3 times already in 8th I didn't think it'd end up as close as it was. You're really an excellent general - who knows what you'd be able to achieve with Eldar or Tau or some new hot army.<br /><br />Shame that the Terminator died in the end, that krak missile to the face of the exarch as he was charging was awesome!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199583732490727488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-78152235912074023472017-07-14T00:47:43.898+01:002017-07-14T00:47:43.898+01:00Don't lambast that terminator too much... if h...Don't lambast that terminator too much... if he'd have survived that last turn, it would have a) scored your opponent one less kill point b) held you the relic therefore c) won you the game 25-24.

This gave me the flexibility to get around not having as many transports and gave me more missile launchers - and needed to move them less. <br /><br />I realize the past 4 games don't let you change your list but they've given me a lot to think about, thanks.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609259515079996269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-26097035437914398612017-07-13T20:08:26.169+01:002017-07-13T20:08:26.169+01:00Also really enjoying these reports.

I've only played a couple 1000 point games of 8th (DW with IG allies) but am enjoying them. 1000 points games don't allow me to take all the toys you bring, though. I half love the DW for the unique hobby aspect.OIF Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16696477973385785900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-25119815147142337232017-07-13T18:01:22.597+01:002017-07-13T18:01:22.597+01:00Battle forged armies start with 3CP and I get an a...Battle forged armies start with 3CP and I get an additional 3CP for the Battalion detachment.
