Last week I found a new place to play 40k. The Store Eagle and Empire Games is a small shop closer to home than any other shop. After talking to the workers I found out that Friday nights are usually 40k nights so I got an army ready and headed down there.
When I got there, I saw a game of X-wing, a game of War Machine and a guy painting and I was worried. Thankfully, I didn't worry for long. The painter asked me is I was looking around or wanted to play a game. I mentions I was looking for a 40k game and he said, "Great, let me finish this guy and I will get my army."
We played on a 5 X 5 board. I was a little late and by the time we got set up and ready to play we only had time for 2 rounds. It was a good time. I made several mistakes with my deployment and units. I am again unhappy with the lootas. Everyone says how well they do but they really underperformed for me. I think a squad of smasha guns would work out better or maybe some kustom mega-cannons.
My opponent played the new Necrons and dang are they tough. The 4+ re-animation protocols(RP) are awesome.He shugged off most of my wounds. The Most important thing is kill the spyder giving the Wraiths RP. He really didn't have that bad of a list. He could have left off a monolith and flayed ones and ran another cryptic swarm. One was bad enough.
I plan on going back every other week if I can. I had a good time and I hope I can improve and make some progress in the waaaagh! The ork philosophy is, "We win means we win, if we lose we still got to fight so we still win." So in the end I won!
Until next time...
