There was a great turn out last Tuesday night, and it is even greater that the majority of the turn out could be attributable to newer players. They stormed the desert tabletop and played multiple games of Imperial Guard VS Space Marine, literally Imperial training exercises that would get them thinking about what they would want to get out of their own armies. Many thanks to Francis for being a rule keeper for the matches. Jerrick scored a victory with the Imperial Guard, while EJ scores a win with the Space Wolves.
On the volcanic/chaos waste table, we could see Wiley and Mike pitting Ultramarine against Ultramarine. It was freaking confusing, I honestly could not tell who was fighting who in that giant mashed up melee between armies sporting similar colors.Wiley soundly beat him (I honestly could not tell who was winning though. Imperial scum all look the same to me).
Zeb and Kuneho fought, with Zeb coming out as the victor! BAM! Terminators totally pwned the nids'. Zeb beat Kuneho down 4-0 in a sieze ground battle!
I had the honor of facing Patrick's Lizardmen in a 2k point match. He had terrible rolls, and I forgot to use my Wyvern for a turn, which turned out to possibly be game-breaking. In the end however, the Green Horde (I'm talking about the Orcs as the Lizardmen were also green) was triumphant in a last turn attempt for the Warboss and the rallied Boyz to take down the 40 man (Or Lizardman) death star that has taken considerable damage from lucky rock lobba shots.
The night didn't end there however, as when Oberon arrived, there was one more match being played out, and that was between PatChua and Wiley, Lizardmen (this time sporting the Slann "Supertoad" High Priest) against the growing Vampire Counts which used the Forbidden Lore of the Beast (Vampire VS The Lizardman, sounds like a bad horror movie).
For the turns that I was able to watch, I was pretty impressed by how Wiley and Pat's magic phases were focused on turning Wiley's Vampire Lord into play-do, as it shifted in and out of Chimera Form (4D6 attacks at strength and initiative 7 you've got to be freaking kidding me). Also, Pat use of Magic Cards was helpful in identifying what unit was under what spell/hex/whatever. Those cards should be seeing more play in the future.
That was pretty cool, and overall, it's great to see a lot of potential players coming in and playing Warhammer (40k). Can't wait to face off against fresh faces. Also, I finally got to duke it out with Lizardmen, which leaves just a few other armies to face before I've finally fought each army at least once (Need to fight High Elves, Skaven, Brettonia, and Beastmen).
See y'all at the gaming tables!
