Last Tuesday night saw us playing a mix of Fantasy and 40k. Wiley got to reach 2k points! Congrats man! I had the honor of playing his first 2k pt game, and we each garnered a win against each other (I beat him in a battleline fight and he captured the watchtower from me). We also had an unofficial game that took place before the other two games, where he had Mannfred Von Carstein misfire AND miscast with Purple Sun, which accidentally tore open a fabric in reality that destroyed his general (Mannfred) and his entire Grave Guard regiment in a single turn. This all happened at the top of the first turn. It was hysterical and we chose to start over as it was simply bad luck that brought about that drastic result. Dabbling in Death Magic = bad.
Jay managed to score a solid victory against Zeb with Tzeentch, beating down the terminators with a fusillade of gunfire and Tzeentchian maneuvering. I sadly didn't get any details on this game.
I got to play Jay later on though, and was able to score a lucky win as a rhino charged in to claim one of his objectives at the last turn! The rest of the battlefield was strewn with the bodies of Khorne's followers, as the Thousand Sons tore them to bits. Blood for the Blood God!
Anyways, there's a Night of Spears finale coming up tonight, so we're hoping to see more grand battles take place!
See you guys at the gaming tables,

Of Blood and Wolves (August 22, 2010)
First and foremost, I would like to thank all the people who could attend the tournament today. I believe everyone had a great time and I'm going to miss you guys. I've had a great 4 month vacation, and I won't forget the Tuesday nights at the Bunker or the Saturday afternoons at Galleria. I'll be back this December to wage war in the name of Khorne (and/or Gork (or Mork)) once again, but until then, I hope you guys have a great time on and off the gaming tables.
But most of all, I'd like to thank my dad for hosting the tournament. It was really nice of him to organize this get together. I'm truly blessed.
Anyways, about today, I had to face three Space Wolf Armies. I had the honor to play against Henri, Ronald, and Jeff in that order. All three of them played very differently, with Henri's Skyclaw Lord, Ronald's Drop Pod Wolves, and Jay's elite Thunderwolf Cavalry, it almost felt like I had played against very distinct armies (although Grey Hunters were presented en masse in all incarnations).
Arvin made amazing missions, not to mention the mission and army composition stipulations that challenged people to use units that were not commonly used and focus more on troops. I even had to use Chaos Spawn just to get a Fast Attack choice in (yes aren't really worth anything, they were really just there to die).
The games were all great, all tons of fun, and learning experiences all!
I got lucky. Everyone had a good time, it was an awesome day.
I don't have all the results with me, but here's my take on my experiences in tonight's tournament:
Kharnogar had battled Space Wolves as an aspiring champion in the past, but he had not anticipated such a high concentration of them in a single sector. The Space Wolves gave his warhost much trouble in their advance, but he cared not. His warrior's pride gave him much satisfaction in facing warriors of such ferocity and savagery, and his face twisted into what passed for a grin amongst his kind. Khorne had granted him a vision a month before, a vision that almost drove him mad with anticipation. He had been tasked by the Blood God himself to defeat a foe that almost matched them in savagery, and he intended to deliver lest the Flesh Hounds are set loose upon him.
They had battled long and hard, but the prize his warband had sought was within reach. They had defeated the Space Wolves that came in with jump troops, and were pushed back when their drop pods made planetfall, but now they saw the Wolf that stood out amidst the pack: The Alpha Wolf has taken to the field.
The battlefield was strewn with craters left as footprints of the Imperium's orbital bombardment. Kharnogar held his Siegebreakers back, knowing full well that after they battered the earth, the pack would move in for the kill.
He knew his men well, for they had been together for millenia. His berserkers stood at the hill overlooking what would become the bloodiest field in the sector, shuddering with barely controlled rage, stomping on the ground or grinding their chain weapons against skulls taken from earlier battles. If the wolves didn't show up, he knew it wouldn't be long before his own men's blood rage would get the best of them and they'd be killing each other. He had almost wished they would so that he would have a reason to start the killing as well, but he fought back the sensation, knowing full well that the Blood God was watching.
Then, as the smoke from the bombardment cleared, he saw them. Charging forward without any sign of a strategy or formation, the Sons of Russ barreled toward the Siegebreaker's line. A figure riding the biggest wolf Kharnogar had ever seen let loose a howl that would have shaken him to his very soul had he still had one. The maddening howl was joined by several others. The Wolves have taken to the field.
Not to be outdone, he let loose the warcry that has been a prelude to every battle, every victory, every slaughter. Kharnogar raised his twin chainswords into the air and screamed, "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!" He was joined by his men as they met the Wolves charging downhill. In a matter of moments however, the battle cries were eventually overpowered by the sounds of buzzing chainsaws and the bark of bolter fire.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kharnogar's retinue had been broken and bled. The lesser demons were banished by the Fenrisian elite, and his own berserkers were cut down by this warrior without peer. He threw his demons and his men at the jaws of the wolf, and when he saw their pathetic inability to slay him, he threw himself at the creature, knowing that it was only who could finally down the warrior.
He raised a battle cry and charged with both blades held in arms outstretched, each step bringing him closer to the slaughter. The Wolf Lord had just torn the heart out of a berserker when he noticed the Chaos Lord tearing his way across the battlefield to get to him. The warriors met each other's gaze and the Wolf Lord howled as he kicked his wolf into a counter charge.
Kharnogar swung at the Wolf Lord, who blocked and almost disarmed him with a strike from his storm shield. A claw came down at him and tore his shoulder pad off, but the Champion of the Blood God was undaunted. Using the weight of the blow against him, he batted his chainsword against the claw and tore the wolf lord off his mount, which attempted to pounce on him but was greeted by a chainsword swing to the throat, ending the giant wolf's service to his master.
The Wolf Lord howled with rage, bearing his fangs and charging with such fury it felt as the area shuddered with each step. Kharnogar mirrored his adversary, raising his voice and meeting his claws with his blades. Every blow that connected seemed to cause the atmosphere to shatter, each wound inflicted seemed to portent the end of all things. The warriors battled as if their gods were watching, both redefining the very meaning of fury.
Kharnogar's every strike was countered and met with an almost eerily opposite reaction, and he could not help but feel that they were both reveling in the exchanges. Suddenly, the wolf throws his shield at him, an unexpected but imaginable move on the Khorne Lord's part, and knocks one his chainswords away, leaving him to face the wolf with a single blade. He understood the message: There would be no more parrying, no more blocking, for now only killing blows were a welcome contribution.
They stared each other down for what seemed like an eternity, and when the psychological tension had cleared, each prepared to deal a killing blow. The Wolf Lord raised a claw, attempting to slash down at Kharnogar and take his head off with a clean swipe. Seeing this coming, the Chaos Lord brought his sword down at the wolf's claw arm, slicing it clean off. The Wolf Lord howled with rage, giving his enemy the opportunity to deliver a death blow. Gripping the chainsword with both hands, Kharnogar swung the blade with such force that when it met with the wolf's neck it came clean off.
He gave a silent praise to Khorne as he picked up the wolf lord's head, part of him taking pity that he would never again cross paths with such a worthy a foe. But that did not matter, for there were still many more wolves to kill. With much haste, he rejoined his warhost in routing the rest of the wolves, recovering his lost chainsword and adding a new trophy to his collection. They could not stay long; the Siegebreakers of Medrenngard had a galaxy to bleed.

August 17 Night of the Kill Team
Hey guys, it was a nice Tuesday of gaming once again! I didn't game much however, as Wiley and me were too excited in constructing our forces for a battle we have against each other next Tuesday, so we spent the whole night preparing our forces. His Vampire Counts will be hitting 2k points! I'm pretty excited about that.
The one unique game we did play was a 4 way kill team fight. I used Chaos Chosen, Pat used Death Company, Wiley used Sternguard, and Jesse used a squad of tactical marines. Needless to say the Death Company totally destroyed us, but it was an interesting and fast new mission to play.
The rules I remembered are as follows:
200 points
Each member of a squad is an independent unit
Up to three may take 1 Veteran Skill from the Rulebook each.
For multiplayer, random player order, and we roll a D6 to determine who goes first each round (Pat got a double turn and mowed my boys down to my chagrin).
It was a fun and different game, and maybe next time I won't get mowed down in a turn of shooting.
There were several Warhammer and Warhammer 40k games that were not recorded in the logbook, and we encourage people to write them so we can have them recorded here.
Anyways, after that, we had several rounds of LIAR'S DICE. It's a really fun game and Jay won quite a lot of times (Until the last game when Wiley dethrones him as the biggest liar in the group). It was tons of fun, and it surely won't be the last time this game would be played.
See you guys on the gaming tables, Night of Spears tomorrow night and a tournament this Sunday.

There were a lot of recorded games that night and it's great to see an active community come in every week. It was fun proxxying a Wood Elves army (As Wood Orks) and finally getting a win against Henri's dwarfs (who tear my orks to shreds every time we have a game).
Also, it was also cool to see Zeb score a close beat down against Doc Benj's orks. It was literally decided in a die roll as to see whether Doc's orks could run to contest another objective. Good close game!
I unfortunately did not get to closely observe other games, but I did see Ryan's Terminators going head to head against Zeb's. Logan Grimnar VS Vulkan Hes'tan was pretty epic, though the latter won (to my surprise).
The game I had against Kuneho was pretty brutal. He killed every model I had on the table, and all the assaults were really interesting to fight. Kudos to my obliterator which held off the Doom and Malantai for the entire game up until the last turn when Doom finally eats the obliterator's brains out. My berserkers killed so many tyranids but they just kept coming. A Genestealer horde is no laughing matter. Swarmlord went toe to toe against my demon prince, who died to a fearless combat resolution penalty roll. Sad, but epic.
Looking forward to the Night of Spears and the next time either my orcs or Berserkers get to wet their blades with the blood of their enemies.
Till next time!

Drums of War Part 4 (August 8. 2010)
The last day Drums of War that would be a prelude to the Night of Spears has come to a close with much action as usual.
The following dropped by:
Kim
Lance
Jun
Clarence
Henri
Romy
There were a lot of games played. The day started off with my Orcs facing off against Henri's Dwarfs. His dwarfs beat mine in capturing the watchtower with the game ending on turn 4! There was a lot of dead orcs and dwarfs by the end of the battle, but the orcish animosity caused the army to deviate from the major objective.
Between the first and second games, Kim, Henri and I played a short round of Talisman, wherein Kim's Sorceress met an early end dying to the trap door card, which sends him into the depths of the dungeon expansion area, which slowly but surely killed the low level adventurer. Sorry Kim. That aside, Henri stole my shield (I couldn't believe it, I thought it was my Jester follower who did it!) as a thief. I was a troll and basically thumped anything that came close.
The game that followed was a grudge match between my Orcs and Jun's Chaos warriors with Chaos Sorcerer General. We played a Dawn Attack scenario where our forces were randomly deployed. My orcish horde was divided by the random deployment, but due to some lucky rolls I was able to pincer Jun's forces after battering his knights with a lot of lucky artillery fire.
Henri and Clarence played an epic War of the Beard match between the dwarfs and elves respectively. They played a Meeting Engagement battle wherein the elves used their magic acumen and volley firing bows and war machines to batter the dwarf forces, which almost took the victory, but the dwarfs took too long to get to the other side, and their close combat potential was not seen. It should be noted that Clarence casted Purple Sun (Jun and I were chanting for it) and it almost literally bit into a dwarf unit. Initiative 2 isn't cool against spells like that.
The final game was between Clarence and me. The elves basically destroyed the orcs with Teclis' amazing magic. Akham's Razor (sp?) turned the weedy elves into gods of war. I think 40 orcs died in a single combat phase. Not a single orc was left standing at the end of the day. My wyvern got shot down in turn 1.
All in all it was an amazing set of games. Hope to see you all in the Night of Spears! See you guys on the gaming tables!

Tuesday Night Wargaming (August 3)
Hey guys, the Bunker was full last night as people went nuts tearing each others' armies in half on the table top.

Zeb Melosantos

That's pretty good. I saw a whole lot of games. The first one that night was between Wiley and me, Ultramarines VS Khornate Warband. The mission came from the Battle Missions Book, and Vanguard was the format chosen by the dice gods. The Ultramarines came in from the board edge while my Chaos Forces deployed amidst the three objects that were placed in the center of the table, at the center long edge of my deployment side, and somewhere 12 inches away from the center on my left flank.
The Ultramarines started out charging from the table edge, bearing their Land Raider's Assault cannon, immobilizing my land raider and destroying a lascannon. That pretty good for small rounds of fire. Blasted Mary Sues.
His assault marines came upon my left flank, and flew toward my lines. The Sternguard remained behind the landraider that rumbled down the center flank.
During my turn, I had my boys take a step back, while my landraider managed to immobilize the hiding rhino and the obliterators fired lascannons at the landraider, not doing a thing.
The next turn was more eventful as the Ultramarines reached the Chaos lines, charging a rhino and destroying it. Luckily for me, the landraider didn't do any damage this turn.
The rhino's cargo brought swift retribution to the assault marines, and if that wasn't bad enough, the Demon Prince of Khorne swept down to support them.
The terminators of the now beleaguered landraider charged out and destroyed the landraider of the Ultramarines, whose terminators in turn tore them in half in a single assault phase after shooting them down.
The Berserkers held a defensive position, out of character indeed, as the second assault squad came charging down the left flank. After defeating the berserkers, they were then counter charged by another squad of the manic warriors, led by the demon prince once more. It was pretty much a repeat of what happened earlier, only now it was evident that their forces were coming in piecemeal.
The scouts arrived on opposite sides of the board, both intending to get a bead on the objectives while the terminators and sternguard claim the center point. The scouts took refuge in a broken building, but were ambushed by lesser demons emerging them from the warp, who in that turn tore three of the five scouts into pieces, one of which was their sergeant.
They were not forgotten however, as one of the sternguard squads came over to support them and fight off the lesser demons. Tragically, they could not reach the initiates in time, as the lesser demons were just finished gutting the last scout before being shot to death by the retributive marines.
In the center, the demon prince charged the terminator squad alongside the berserkers, fresh from the battle against the assault marines. The demon prince had since then been shot by a couple of sniper shots from the scout squad mentioned earlier (which was then devoured by the demons). He and his faithful Juggernaut charged for Pedro Kantor, who died keeping the demon busy before the hammers found their marks in the demon's exposed flank. The Ultramarines finest easily dispatched the remaining berserkers, but they were beaten down to a bleading Chaplain and a lone terminator.
In the death wails of the battle, the Sternguard marched out to retrieve two of the objectives from the chaos forces. The obliterators destroyed one of the squads, but the scouts that had arrived from the other side of the table had come in their place, going to ground and making it nigh impossible to dent them as their camo cloaks made them but invisible to the eye (and demon sense apparently).
The lone terminator and his Chaplain superior were gunned down by a storm bolter and a heavy bolter, but from the surviving and largely ignored land raider which did not contribute much to the game.
The Ultramarines had claimed victory however, as the Chaos forces held one objective while the rest of them were taken by the Emperor's lap dogs. I will get my revenge Wiley! Good game!
Other games I saw were also quite impressive. Henri's Dwarven force went up against the fanatical Volkmar, who was taking orders from Freddie Yu. The Empire won that day, but a dwarf never forgets a grudge, so watch your back!
Mike fought against Jesse and Jay that night, but he wasn't too lucky as the Luna Wolves and Iyanden forces beat his Ultramarines down. Jesse them proceeded to fight Wiley, seemingly bent on revenge for his brother Ultramarine player. I wasn't quite sure of the result of that round.
Zeb's Wolf Guard faced off against Alfred's Imperial Guard. Terminators VS Tanks. I really wanted to see that fight. Kuneho tyranid swarm fought Nikki's Ork Horde.
These games should really be recorded in the log book. If there werent' any games mentioned here, I apologize.
Oh right, Pat Chua's Lizards and my Orks (It was a sea of green) fought to a draw last night, with our generals pretty much routing each others' death stars. Go go generals on large creature!
That aside, thanks for the birthday greetings everyone, it was awesome that I could spend the night playing those awesome games. Hope attendance is as good every Bunker night, take care and see you on the gaming tables!

That's pretty good. I saw a whole lot of games. The first one that night was between Wiley and me, Ultramarines VS Khornate Warband. The mission came from the Battle Missions Book, and Vanguard was the format chosen by the dice gods. The Ultramarines came in from the board edge while my Chaos Forces deployed amidst the three objects that were placed in the center of the table, at the center long edge of my deployment side, and somewhere 12 inches away from the center on my left flank.
The Ultramarines started out charging from the table edge, bearing their Land Raider's Assault cannon, immobilizing my land raider and destroying a lascannon. That pretty good for small rounds of fire. Blasted Mary Sues.
His assault marines came upon my left flank, and flew toward my lines. The Sternguard remained behind the landraider that rumbled down the center flank.
During my turn, I had my boys take a step back, while my landraider managed to immobilize the hiding rhino and the obliterators fired lascannons at the landraider, not doing a thing.
The next turn was more eventful as the Ultramarines reached the Chaos lines, charging a rhino and destroying it. Luckily for me, the landraider didn't do any damage this turn.
The rhino's cargo brought swift retribution to the assault marines, and if that wasn't bad enough, the Demon Prince of Khorne swept down to support them.
The terminators of the now beleaguered landraider charged out and destroyed the landraider of the Ultramarines, whose terminators in turn tore them in half in a single assault phase after shooting them down.
The Berserkers held a defensive position, out of character indeed, as the second assault squad came charging down the left flank. After defeating the berserkers, they were then counter charged by another squad of the manic warriors, led by the demon prince once more. It was pretty much a repeat of what happened earlier, only now it was evident that their forces were coming in piecemeal.
The scouts arrived on opposite sides of the board, both intending to get a bead on the objectives while the terminators and sternguard claim the center point. The scouts took refuge in a broken building, but were ambushed by lesser demons emerging them from the warp, who in that turn tore three of the five scouts into pieces, one of which was their sergeant.
They were not forgotten however, as one of the sternguard squads came over to support them and fight off the lesser demons. Tragically, they could not reach the initiates in time, as the lesser demons were just finished gutting the last scout before being shot to death by the retributive marines.
In the center, the demon prince charged the terminator squad alongside the berserkers, fresh from the battle against the assault marines. The demon prince had since then been shot by a couple of sniper shots from the scout squad mentioned earlier (which was then devoured by the demons). He and his faithful Juggernaut charged for Pedro Kantor, who died keeping the demon busy before the hammers found their marks in the demon's exposed flank. The Ultramarines finest easily dispatched the remaining berserkers, but they were beaten down to a bleading Chaplain and a lone terminator.
In the death wails of the battle, the Sternguard marched out to retrieve two of the objectives from the chaos forces. The obliterators destroyed one of the squads, but the scouts that had arrived from the other side of the table had come in their place, going to ground and making it nigh impossible to dent them as their camo cloaks made them but invisible to the eye (and demon sense apparently).
The lone terminator and his Chaplain superior were gunned down by a storm bolter and a heavy bolter, but from the surviving and largely ignored land raider which did not contribute much to the game.
