Eldar vs Tzeentch 2000 points match

By
Hi All, Martin here.

Sam recently asked me for a 2000 point game so he could try out his Tzeentch army to get a feel for what units he might put together to make a competative list. Normally I would just run, in true Saim Hann style, Jetbikes, Jetbikes and a few Jetbikes on the side but Sam asked if I could bring all my 'Big Guns' so he could really see hopw his army performed.

I took:

Craftworld Warhost

Windrider Host consisting of a Skyrunner Farseer, A skyrunner Warlock, A vyper with 2 Shuriken Cannons and 3 squads of 3 Windriders, all upgraded with Shuriken Cannons.

A Nightspinner

A Fire Prism

A Wraithknight with 2 Heavy Wraithcannons

Aspect Host consiting of 4 Dark Reapers, 5 Fire Dragons and 5 Warp Spiders


Combined Arms Detachment

HQ - Warlock

Troops - 3 sqauds of 5 Dire Avengers (Dire Avenger Shrine formation)

Elites - 5 Wraithgaurd

Fast Attack - Crimson Hunter

Heavy Support - Vaul's Wrath Support Battery with a D-Cannon


  
We deployed for Contact Lost counting the hills as a 5+ cover save due to a lack of ruins available.

Sam won the roll and took the 1st turn after I failed to take the initiative.

His flying HQ's made quick work getting right in to the fight!!


 I havent really used my Wraithknight before so I sat it at the back for most of the game taking overpowered shots at Sams Daemons. In future I will be alot more agressive with it and get it into the fight for some Fist-i-cuffs!!

 Sams skimmers brought the fight to my side of the field, quickly joined by his Warlord



 I threw as much fire power at them as I could and quickly reduced them to a smoking wreck.


 Sams Horrors made a conga line to hold objective 3 whilst still being in range for his Psychic attacks (He had in excess of 30 Warp charges per turn!!) 
My warp spiders later jumped over and quickly despatched them back to the hell they came from

Sam played very wisely holding vital cover and at 1st casting multiple Cursed Earths to give himself a re-rollable  2+ Invun Save!! Thankfully his units started to seperate by turn 2 reducing this to something I could actually deal damage to.


It was an awesome game, and it ended with me winning by a single Line breaker point!! Im looking forward to Sams next test list!!

Confessions of a Warhammer Wife

By
Confessions of a Warhammer Wife Bruce’s obsession with Warhammer was only revealed to me during our second year of dating. We had been together a long time by then – had even lived together for the majority of that time while at University. And still I didn’t know about this one aspect of Bruce’s nerd-dom. When Bruce and I first began dating I was fully aware of – even besotted by - his nerdy credentials. Together we had played hours of Halo 3 and Mario Kart, swapped manga and even visited the cinema for a solo late night screening of Star Trek. Yet this did not prepare me for what would become one of his main loves in life. It all started back in 2012. We had been living separately back at our parents’ homes after University – me in Yorkshire, he in Worcester. I would often travel down to visit him and on one such occasion I was told of a new friend Bruce had made through work. Damien. They had apparently bonded when Bruce had taken on old model – a Tyranid Warrior I beli...

Worcester Wargames 40K Doubles .

By
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 any...

Jericho Reach: First Encounters

By
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...
