Small tournament results

In played in a small RTT today. And by played, I mean, I went 1-2.

Barely.

I've got to work on my dicemanship and learn to roll better.

I was also pretty rusty with some rules, especially the bloated objective scoring system. It's one of my least favorite things about 40k right now. So much of it is haphazardly cobbled together and it doesn't appear the rules team were working together when they finally went to print.

For example, sometimes you score at the end of your phase, sometimes you score at the end of the round if you declared something in your movement phase, sometimes you don't score until the end of the game (after a few minutes of counting and dividing...) and sometimes you can't find a pen and your dumb app isn't adding all of the points correctly.

The old ITC method was so much cleaner and you don't spend 20 minutes looking at your opponent's list trying to min-max your objectives each game. I just think they needs to be simpler way that's still satisfying.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
