Dropped against Death Company last night. An interesting game in which my 2W models charged against a double librarian dreadnought list.



First game I dropped bikers in. They did great for their amount of board threat, even if they were never going to make their points back.



Crux moment was when a ten man squad of death company dropped with Lemartes and the dice utterly screwed him. They died to Auspex Scan, overwatch, and rifle butts as my opponent's dice decided that armor saves just weren't their thing. I still lost 6 intercessors, but it's a trade I could be happy with

After 6 week break due to trip to japan got a game. Still recovering from trip so simply took last game's bag so knights. Wolves challenged me. Alas turkey shoot as his wolves were not even that optimized with 2 huge termi units etc. Didn't even go full out so for example didn't annihilate devastators with lascannons asap nor missile armed one either. And castellan vs 3++ wolfens i started with big guns rather than shoulder guns(which ensured inv save got full benefit) and it was easy as stealing candy from kid.


Final nail in the coffin was me drawing priority order(assasinate) and witch hunt with 1w(shield breaker to face turn before) runepriest close to my warlord castellan giving me not only high chance of wipeout but gave dominating lead on vp's.

Lost one helverin, war glaive was almost dead and errant was getting mauled by terminators as i let them be there(i could have fled with landstrider and raven giving me also shooting but with game being over before it even started let's stomp!)

Had a couple of games last night. First game was a quick 500pts battle between my Custodes and some Tyranids. My opponent conceded on the 4th when he lost 37 out of his 42 models and I lost 3 of my 6!

Spoiler:

Second game was a three way fight between Custodes, AdMech and Tyranids. This time a narrow victory for my Custodes with a single VP separating all three armies!

Love the refinery.

Edit:

Played, The Games: Blood and Spectacle the other day:



Each session of the games consists of 3 "events" that are randomly determined. They could be the lesser amusements, Gladiatoria, or Spectacles. As the Lanista, you select a ludus of Gladiators that you equip and train as a specific Gladiator style. You can then choose which Gladiators participate in which events to try and maximize your success in the event; but more importantly to improve your Gladiator Troupe's chances for the season. A typical season consists of 8-10 games. This one is around the 7th Games for the men of Metallus' Ludus of Leptis Minor.

You can read the details the days Games here: https://bloodandspectacles.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-games-blood-and-spectacle-games-of.html

Dropped against Orks for the first time. Unfortunatly I realized about halfway through the game that my opponent was wrong about his statline and that Ork Boyz aren't T5 Str5. No wonder I failed to kill anything in the first turn. Lesson learned for the future at least:

Last game I played was 2k of Custodes + Guard against Grey Knights + Marines. Was an enjoyable game, was pretty close for the first couple of turns thanks to his FW LR Redeemer (2D6 D2 autohits aren't nice against Custodes). This picture shows the point in which the tables turned however.



5 Paladins and an Apothecary against a single Custodian. I spend 2CP giving me 2 extra attacks and +1 to wound, so that's 5 attacks hitting on 2's rerolling, and wounding on 2+

He fluffed his attacks and didn't do a single wound, in return I slay 3 of the Paladins, and 5 more Custodes teleport in next turn and wipe the rest out.

I got a chance to play another game of Red Book of the Elf King.



While all my Companions and Thanes are painted, my opponent only had three of his Companion units finished, so it was another half sized game.

While I'm still looking forward to playing a full sized game (6 Companion units on each side), we did play on a full sized table and had 7 Glamour spells to use. With randomly drawn Glamour, we noticed that some are semi-helpful, while other are must-haves if you're choosing Glamour before a game; for example, one spell increased a side's Courage stat by +1 for the entire game, which was hugely influential, since passing Courage tests keeps Penalty tokens off your units, which keeps them in the fight.

Also, with a standard 10" move/charge, or a 5" move and 8" shoot, units can basically fly across the table, especially if you roll high for activation tokens. Of course, that'll be mitigated by having more units to activate - 12 activation tokens doesn't go as far for seven units as it does for four.

We tried out One Page Rules skirmish game, Firefight.

A terminator chaplain, two assault marines (disguised as Cypher and a Death Company Chaplain) and a scout versus a pile of Barzam's hodgepodge WWI- esque Guardsmen.



My scout snuck up on a Guardsman trying to secure an objective and shot him dead within the first turn.

Barzam reciprocated by killing Cypher before he could do anything other than skulk in some shadows, and my team were constantly pinned down by shotgun fire.



Termie Chap got angry, deepstriked in and vaporized a Guardsman for his troubles.

Barzam's guards continued to keep me pinned and unable to claim any objectives while the Termie Chap shrugged off multiple rounds of fire directed at him.

Gunfire wasn't working, so obviously it was time for the guards to fix bayonets! You can imagine how that turned out...



Growing more and more frustrated, the Chaplain continued to shrug off most shooting (with the exception of a single plasma shot he managed to survive) and continued braining any guardsmen stupid enough to engage him.

In the end Barzam won due to the fact that I couldn't keep my guys upright and scoring.

Overall I liked the rules. Quick and concise, no need to look up rules or any excessive bookkeeping seeing how everything was on a single sheet of paper.

Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

Dropped against my arch-nemisis list: Imperial Knights. It should have been an interesting experiment in how my list changes could handle this drop, but I managed to 1) forget half my anti-heavy armor tactics and 2) roll terribly

Peak HeadDesk was when I failed to deploy my Fortis Hellblaster squad turn 1 and then had 3 of the 5 Hellblasters explode on shooting as soon as they showed up. Then I wasted my re-roll strategem on an overwatch armor save and didn't use it on my Dreadnought charges. Guess who rolled a 5?

Still had a bit of fun. Not certain about the bike/vanguard vet squad, but the rest of the list is working well.

AoS 1000 pts of Nurgle vs SCE.

SCE lost in the "roll for scenario" phase, we got 6 objectives and I was able to bring my full army to bear against his while my MSU summons took an objective each turn. Not taking Nurgle in small point games again without some fixes to their summon rules (unlike everyone else's, Nurgle's summoning does not scale with game size, so it's better in small games and worse in large games).

Here's a pic from game 3 of the RTT I was playing in earlier today. Our TO allowed my opponent's list despite how...extraordinary it was. This pic shows how it ultimately ended. My Dark Angels, Knight Gallant, and Astra Militarum vs. my opponent's entire army consisting of a single Warhound Titan.

My Gallant got in there, shrugging off the overwatch, and just smashed the Warhound with the Paragon Gauntlet after my other units plinked a few wounds off of it. This went down on turn 2.

FALCON PUUUNCH!

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/1/23, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~15000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Adeptus Custodes: ~1900 | Imperial Knights: ~2000 | Sisters of Battle: ~3500 | Leagues of Votann: ~1200 | Tyranids: ~2600 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000

Well guess RTT didn't mind players doing longwinded way of giving up games!
