Here we go again...

Well I've had about 9-10 hours sleep but still feel like I've been hit by a truck ^^ but better than yesterday. First impressions of Lords of Terra aren't too bad. Terrain was so-so, some boards had good terrain (first game and 3rd game) and some boards had crap terrain (2nd board; friend also played on one with no terrain). Vince said his terrain was good for all games so a tick in that direction. Games all started and finished mostly on time (I think overall it was a bit late) and everyone got a couple free resin bases so yay for that. Unfortunately a few people didn't show so both Vince & Kyle got free 20 points byes (20 points is max per battle). Vince was able to get a random game in against someone but Kyle had to stand around for 3 hours at the end of the day waiting for us which sucks.

I also didn't take many pics I'm afraid. Blame the fact that my brain switched off around noon (especially after a terrible lunch). I've got most turns from my first game against Ben (great game and great guy, you can see his quote on the top of the page :)), and one pic of game 2 with none from game 3 (I'll try and take a pic of the board today so you can at least have a visual). Game one was against a Mech CSM w/Oblit back-up and looked like it was going to be a draw until my Gants began to overrun Ben's lines and the game went to T7. His army was also pretty nice with some really cool conversions.

An excellent game though. Game two was against Hybrid Eldar (o.O!) but I made two mistakes which allowed two MCs to be shot. I can blame inexperience with this army or sleep deprivation or terrain :P, but they were mistakes. My fire suppression was pretty good that game (as in, my anti-tank was just suppressing his tanks) but around T3 I think, most of my anti-tank fire failed and he was able to get a big leg up and I only spawned 4 Gants when I needed 10+. Props to my opponent (Tim) for using his army correctly with good target priority and once his tanks could shoot, he made the most of them. In hindsight I prob should of moved my 2nd T-Fex a little bit differently but I'll examine that more later in the Bat Report with 1 pic :P.

3rd game was the auto-draw mission with DoW + 2 objectives and I pulled up Loganwing w/Jaws...great (although it had a Vindi!). The army looked fantastic and I wish I got photos (I'll hunt him down today if I can) and outside of Jaws (oh what, my T-Fexes & Tervgions died?), the game was pretty fun and I really got into it about T3 (T1-2 I was off with the faeries trying to stay awake) but by me pushing into his face and my Hive Guard stopping his speeders, he was never going to get to my objective and he put his as far away as possible so I wasn't able to get to it. Table quarters was the secondary objective and worked exactly like normal objectives in 5th but neither of us had been able to clear out a quarter outside of the ones we controlled, so a massive draw!

So 1-1-1, disappointed with Game 2 but that happens sometimes but Games 1 and 3 more than made up for it with their enjoyability though I doubt I can push for any General awards :( (I think I'm about 23ish points behind?). Vince is a bit ahead of me with 2 wins and a loss (1 win = bye) and Kyle is hoping for his first legit win today with 1 win and 2 losses (1 win = bye) =p. Will have more details up on Monday as I'm unlikely to post when I get home tonight. Thanks to BroLo for the articles so far!

Kirby.
