November RTT results - thumbs down!

Last weekend I played in an Away Games RTT at the Game Café in Independence, Missouri, near Kansas City.

 


I brought my usual Dark Angels Deathwing list and went 1-2. I beat an Imperial Fists player in the first round, I was tabled by Word Bearer and Daemon soup in the second game, and took a frustrating loss against Tyranids in game 3.

 

All of the players I faced were fine folks, but the third game against the Tyranids only got through 3.5 turns… The game was called just after my charge phase at the bottom of turn 4 and I didn’t get to score and took a 20ish point loss. I think I would have won that game if we played all 5 turns and may have won after 4 if we were allowed to play it out. We had the option of putting it on a clock, but I didn’t bother since we weren’t in the running for the podium, but I should have in hindsight.


Also of note, I broke my thumb and index finger on my right had recently and trying roll dice, pick up models and “thumb” through a codex was pain in the … hand. Ug.

Also, I really wish people would stop playing with branded dice, especially with both 1s and 6s having markings. I don’t think anyone was pulling any funny business, but I want to see what you rolled.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend.  Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year.  #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k
