40k RTT Results

40k has become one of my least favorite games. It's turned into a slot machine of re-rolls.


I played in a RTT today, I went 0-3. I only played 1 complete game, and the last game only went 1.5 turns ...

The moment I broke up with Game Workshop was during the turn my opponent clenched a fistful of dice, needing 2s to hit, rerolling 1s. He then needed 2s to wound, rerolling 1s with 6s exploding into mortal wounds.

I didn't get to roll any dice. 

Ug.

I canceled my Las Vegas Open tickets, canceled my trip to Nevada, and I'm feeling really sour. 40k is just not fun for me. I think I just need to stay with narrative play and avoid the trappings of "win-at-all-costs" games. I know it's a me problem. 

On to Battletech!

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models.  The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating.  If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list.  Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...
