Who's there: Obi (ObiXVI), Romy (BataIsip21), Kim (doh!), Gelo (Badbeef), Kuneho (Beefcake), Justin (O'Shavah), Lito (Oberon), Katrina Halili, Francine Prieto


What happened:

Lito (Witch Hunters) vs Justin (Chaos Undivided)
2000pts - Recon Omega
Night Fight - last turn

*it was a show of force at the start of the battle when 2 full-strength Seraphim Squads decimated a Raptor Squad down to two models.
*the remaining Raptors however held for a turn and later disengaged from combat to create distractions on Justin's right flank.
*Exorcist Missile Tank destroyed early in the game by a lascannon shot.
*an unerring shot from one of Justin's Defilers withered down the numbers of one of the Seraphim Squads.
*Callidus Assasin entered the battle from Lito's left flank.
*As early as second turn, the full-complement Seraphim Squad have already rushed up to the enemy's deployment lines.
*the midgame was a blood bath as combat lines have met on both flanks.
*by the endgame, Justin was able to grab some VP's via objective.

Result: Justin won!!


Obi (Dark Angels) vs Gelo (Lost and the Damned)
1000pts - Rules of Engagement
Obi (Hold the Line)
Gelo (Assasinate)

*i was able to hold on to my line for the early turns, decimating a mutant mob on my left flank with a Chaplain-led Assault Squad.
*Gelo's other mob, gifted by Chaos with cavalry charge and fleet of mutated foot, quickly closed in from my right flank.
*my firebase toppled down one by one as the wave of mutants, reinforced by a crash of Chaos Spawns, reached my deployment zone.

Result: Gelo won!!


Kuneho (World Eaters) vs Obi (Dark Angels)
2000pts - Secure and Contrik Gamma
3 Loot Counters

*i deployed a semi refused flank formation on my left side of the table, only leaving a sniper scout squad and a squadron of landspeeder tornadoes on the right flank. i intend this unit to dwindle the numbers of Khorne Berzerkers on that side while the Tornadoes could form a barricade to further stop their approach from that side.
*ian deployed by his usual congo-line formation. Berzerkers from one short edge of the table to the other. 3 squads full... all of em.
*the berzerkers and Chaos Bikes on the left flank is of no contest. i was able to decimate both with focused firepower and 2 Assault Squads. the second berzerker squad though was able to hold my Assault Squads for quite some delaying turns.
*this gave the withered right flank to advance from that side, and with the aid of a very tough Daemon Prince, finally reached the pesky snipers.
*as planned, i retracted my landspeeders to a position that could cover my left flank firebase but alas, two lucky hits from the last berzerker squad sent em down (six to hit, six to glance, six to kaboom... pinatumba! ganyan sya kaswerte)
*well, that sent me to my doom. with nothing on the way, and i can't move my firebase anyway (his daemon prince is gifted with cavalry charge and fleet movement), i just chose to have a final focus firing.
*it was able to decimate the Zerkers to non-scoring numbers, but it din't stop the rampaging Daemon Prince to connect to my firebase and chow them all down piecemeal! awk! a prmosing victory turned to a massacre!

Result: Kuneho won!!


WOWCCG: Romy (Ta'zo) vs Kim (Elendril, Romy's deck)
*Kim bogged down while Romy took control of the table
*Kim overrun by allies
Result: Romy won!


WOWCCG: Romy (Ta'zo) vs Lito (Dizdemona)
*Both players fling ongoing abilities at each other
*Romy showed Lito the value of Burn Away
*Lito defeats Romy via Corruption
Result: Lito won!

Until next time guys!

Battle for Oakwood

The standoff at Oakwood State has come to an impasse. Factions after warring factions had either left with unfinished agenda or stood vanguard on their makeshift havens whilst licking their wounds. Amongst them all, Tower One stood mighty at the heart of the agricultural state as if keeping a vigilant eye on the next army that will dare oppose. At the seat of power, there lies the true nature of the Oakwood Rebellion... fanned by decades of underground indoctrination by Chaos sleeper cults, conspired by malcontentented brainworks of Ruinous Powers, reinforced by the traitor turncoats of the Fespal Third.

For those that held hope that the Holy Emperor's wrath will soon betide, for those that believed that Chaos is the true way, for those that rather heeded their own schema... the battle will rage on.
