Realspace Raids -11, 12 and 13.

So Ive been busy getting games in. All practise for the YOT's in a few weeks. A draw, win a loss in that order. Nothing new of note realy, the duke with the large warrior unit is starting to shine. I love that unit!

Speaking of which, Ive started my Duke conversion, heres a shot of the work in progress.

Results:- 7 wins, 3 drawn, 3 losses

Realspace Raid 10

So Im getting more practise for the 40K Yorkshire open heats. Same 1800 point list, new opponent. 

Sisters of Battle. 1 Objective a piece, line up and kill each other. Nothing of note realy, well except he had the worst case of luck. Constantly rolling 1's when wounding, and 5 and 6's for LD checks. The game just fell apart for him. Score 1 more win! One thing however stood out from the battle.

My wyches charged a Penitant Engine, fully expecting to die.  I have never played against them before, and there's no harm trying stuff out. Sixes to hit as usual, with Haywire grenades. Scoring 3 hits, a pen and 2 glance. Imbolising it.  He fluffed his attacks back, next round I was hitting on 4's. Scoring another 3 pens and killing it.  Perfect timing for a follow up charge on a unit of sisters close by. Couldnt have gone any smoother.

On a slight tangent. The Duke is by far one of the best characters in the game in my opption.  Im running him in a 20 strong unit of warriors that, when rapid fireing, gets 48 shots hitting on 3's wounding on 3s and 2 other blasters shots, usualy wounding on 2s at AP2. Thats alot of saves to make. At one point he had to take 18 saves on a unit of 7 sisters. That was with a poor set of rolls to wound from me aswell.


Results:- 6 wins, 2 drawn, 2 losses. Next game I'll do a full report.

Realspace Raid 9 - Yeah I missed a few....

1800 spot on

Ok tictacs. Duke goes with the base objective holding warriors. This makes the weapons wound on a 3+ aswell. The duke gets 2 rolls on the drugs table. Hoping to get the extra PtP token. If it works, hey I have a 33% chance, Then every unit will have FNP from the get go. The duke also alows the Raiders to deepstrike, removed the cant disembark rule aswell. Im considering holding a Wyche squad back, then deepstriking them in and assaulting the enemy objective holders.


Anyhow totals so far  5 wins, 2 draws, 2 lost.
