Live Blogging Event!!! (Please appreciate the fact that I'm actually paying for the privilege of emailing this in!!!)

Having arrived at Dominion Day, am now wandering about listening to other people's conversations, and enjoying the banter.

Gotta say, Stelek - you would HATE the height of some of this terrain. Fortress of Redemption, for instance. Virtually every table has Land Raider size cover (sucks for Tau!!) And most even have LOS block for them! :o

I admit, that's not ideal as far as I'm concerned, but its a relief that only one Landing Pad is being used, at least. Looks like this is going to be good, but I'm not promising a win! Lol

Free tea/coffee, banners on the wall (bedecked, indeed!) Screen with scores between rounds? Grand! Also, spot prizes include first to kill an HQ, and first to kill one of your own models. Should be lolworthy...

Sounds like it's going to be fun, good luck

TheKing Elessar said...

Game one over - deployed Kroot too close to midway, got buggered by:
A) monoscythes
B) wych assault

With webways then happily midboard, beasts jumping out...almost tabled. Ugh.
Also army list typo ftw! :(

TheKing Elessar said...

Hrmm. Twice in a row, Dark Eldar. Great. :/

Two DE players here, like. Ah well.

7 Venoms, 3 Ravagers, 2 Raiders.

Also, again, I get second turn. :s

Lol.

Maybe Game 3, huh?

Oh, and its C+C.

Drkmorals said...

Can't possibly get three DE in a row can you? LOL Good luck on your final rounds and keep the updates coming. =)

TheKing Elessar said...

Seized vs DE 2, and broke his spirit with my lucky roll.

Admittedly, didn't set up with intent to seize, but surely for Tau always worth it.

T1 I boned a Raider, 2 Venom and Immob a Rav, accidental Target Lock purchase paying for itself awesomely.

Also, no, only 2 DE here, lol. Impossible to get a 3rd.

Got 17 of a possible 20 there (15 for win, 2 for VP difference.)

TheKing Elessar said...

Guard suck!!!

I'm playing them on the only board with a road!!! And trees. Only board with trees.

Sigh.
Also, this guy is a clown!

:p

TheKing Elessar said...

Now failed like 7 2+ saves on Kroot. Aaargh. C+c vs Guard, DoW. Btw.

TheKing Elessar said...

Turn 3, his. (Top) Not too bad, pretty much halted his advance towards my shit.

As I typed though, he caused PMT...er...PBS...to fuck my Kroot wishing to multi-charge two debarked Inf sq. Bum.

TheKing Elessar said...

Game(s) with James over. Draw isn't a bad result in C+C DoW, especially with Guard. Lol

Sadly, I had a clear chance to win last turn.

My Hammerhead spied a little Catachan on his objective, and put a cream pie on his face, but I ended up with egg on mine, when it scattered away 4" and did nothing. Shame. :(

I'm not a clown you muppet. You're lucky my hydras couldnt pop your dirtyfish.

Duce said...

forgot the :P after

Drkmorals said...

Sounds like you had a three fun games. Are pictures in the future?

TheKing Elessar said...

If by 'the future' you mean 'your photobucket, thanks to the great people behind Photobucket Mobile? Then, yes. Lol

I warn you, they are unlabelled, and plentiful, but of varying quality. Lol.

Stormy said...

What's the leaderboard look like at the moment?

TheKing Elessar said...

Phil with his Wolves was top with around 50. I was 11th with 30.

Just got crushed by Floody. Lol

TheKing Elessar said...

Best Army voting done, lunch Day 2, watching some of the Old Firm Derby. Rangers are so shit. Lol

Well, the SPL is so shit, but when your uncontested first choice keeper let's in a goal like Kris Commons' ... Well. Also, I'm certain they haven't mustered a shot on target while I've been watching, about 25 mins altogether.

Back to the 40k? Well.

Game 5 now, Annihilation, Spearhead, vs Shane Porter and his double Raiders.

If my dice don't betray me, this could be quick.

TheKing Elessar said...

Just got seize again. Twice in 5 games huh. Freaky.

TheKing Elessar said...

Only managed 10 points today. Sucky. Lol
Third place was Johnny Fisher, with Brian promoted as Johnny hadn't painted his force.
Second place was Phil and his Wolves, first was ...

TheKing Elessar said...

Jan, and his Orks!

Congrats to all 16 players who finished above me. :/ lol.

I've got some conclusions to do and such, but I had a good time over both days, played no-one I would dislike to play again, and - while my luck today was clearly worse than yesterday, far more telling were some high profile deployment mistakes by me games 4 and 5, very clearly leading to those defeats in no small part.

Oh well. Now to read a poorly times article from Zenos... :p
