Worcester Wargames 40K Doubles .



It's that time of year again! The Six Up Save lads are painting last mintue details and packing our carry cases in preparation for another one of Worcester Wargames awesome local Tournaments.


This years contest comes with a twist; the doubles teams will be paired up at random! From what we are given to understand Andy (the TO) is pairing people up with respective armies (Imperium with Imperium, Orks with Orks etc) but we wont know exactly who our teammates are until the morning of the Tourney.


The day will consist of 3 games, one person on each team will be playing Maelstrom objectives and his teammate will be playing for standard objectives on the same board, so it will be an interesting mix up of normal game rules.


I'm taking my Redeemer's, but due to lack of time / laziness I'm just taking the exact same list as my Six Up Save League. It's hardley optimised for competitive gameplay, but its fun, fluffy and means I don't have to stress about painting anything.>_<

Martin's Eldar

I've decided to stay away from the temptation to take an army of Wraith Knights/Guard with D-Weapons, so I've used my League list with just a small change in the hope that whoever I get paired up with brings all the big guns, giving us both the speed of my list plus the heavy firepower of theirs.

Ive taken a Craftworld Warhost which gives my units a guaranteed 6" run

Within the detachment Ive got:
Windrider Host (Giving me Shred on my Shuriken weapons once per game):
Skyrunner Fareer
Vyper with Brightlance, Shuriken Cannon and Holo-fields
Skyrunner Warlock
3x 4man Windriders, all upgraded with Shuriken Cannons

Aspect Host (All units in this formation get +1 BS)
4x Dark Reapers and an Exarch. The reapers are equipped with Starshot missiles and the Exarch has an Eldar missile Launcher.
4x Fire Dragons and an Exarch
5x Warp Spiders and an Exarch


Sam's List

Taken lots of FW goodness for a hopefully well rounded list due to the unpredictability of a random partner and different missions.

Sorcerer
Unmarked
Level 3 Pysker to roll on Malefic, Pyromancy and Telepathy
Spell Familiar
Terminator Armour
Burning brand

two squads of 5 marines
Rhino with Combi Melta and Bolter
Melta gun
Combi Melta, Lightning Claw, Melta Bomb on Sergeants

Nurgle spawn x 1
Nurgle spawn x 1
Nurgle spawn x 1

Fire Raptor with Reaper Cannons
Relic Predator with Plasma Destroyer
Rapier Platform with Cyclothrane Conversion Beamer

Should have a bit of everything whilst retain an Iron Warriors feel to the list

Jericho Reach: First Encounters

The galaxy was surrounded by the Hive Fleet however those whom arrived by space travel found that the Fleet parted to allow slender corridors for travel into the Jericho galaxy. However the Tyranids did not so much as stir or attack the space craft.  Each army sent their favoured heroes and their chosen acolytes. On the mining planet of Rheelas the Howling Griffons led by Chaplain Titus within his great Dreadnought armour were the first to engage in battle with the Necrons led by Overlord Naile. However both commanders understood it would do no good to exterminate each other. They both strategically retreated to fight another day. If Khorne was watching he would be greatly angered by the lack of bloodshed. Overlord Naile was able to claim the relic weapon known as Void Reaper and within the mining facility found a Tomb World filled by his Laharl Dynasty brothers.  The Howling Griffons were then ambushed by the Thousand Sons led by the Daemon Prince known in Low Gothi...

Tarsis 4, hosted by Geno52 and Incom Gaming

Today Sam went to Cheltenham to join in with 19 other people on a narrative 30k campaign day. This post will review the day, show off some of the armies that attended and detail how each game went for The Iron Warriors.  First of all I wish to say what a fantastic day that I had. I drove down with Ben Fletcher who was using his warp cult and allied knights and was prepared for a few games of heresy. What I got was three amazing games with friendly and fun opponents. To top this off there was a fluffy element to the whole event running throughout. With people bringing lists which showed off their legions strengths and not following the standard net list builds that you sometimes see in a 40k event. The event was well thought out and well ran by Tom and Stu. Loyalists vs traitors and a winning team, not individual. Which brought about a sense of comradery. Here is the list that I took. I made a 2000 and 2500 point list and used the latter twice and the former once.   Game one Fo...
