Back to the Rogue Trader...

This weekend there is a Rogue Trader tournament at my FLGS Fantasy Books and Games.  For the first time, in a long time, I am going to be in town. So, to take my mind off of missing my betrothed, I have decided to pack up the bugs and play a few games.

Just when I thought I was out...

After a few games with two tervigons I was sorely aware that I needed a bunch more termagants. So I have been stalking them on the evil ebay site looking for a good deal.  If I bought them new you can get 12 for $29 or 5 for $10. So I was looking for a better deal than $2 a model.

Shoot You With My Mind Bullets

I know I am a little late on the whole psychic power kick.  I usually use the standard codex powers for most of my units and biomancy for the rest.  After reading how others have played their bugs I have been wondering if I should try out some of the others as well.

The King of the Nids!

I am tired of getting my flying hive tyrant knocked down turn 1.  Yea it gets him around the board quicker and he is harder to hi but almost every game turn 1 or turn 2 he gets hit by a bolter and then is grounded and then blasted off the face of the planet. I have decided to bring in the Swarmlord and see what all the fuss is about.

Tau-riffic

This weekend I continued working on my Tau Forge world commander.  He is coming along nicely.  I have added in the wash to bring out the lines and hide some of my painting mistakes.  I also based coated my base so I can start the basing process.

First impression of the Mawloc.

Last night I got to use the Mawloc vs the new shiny Tau Empire. I had him in reserves but but I should have had him on the board turn one.  That way he could soak up some fire and then burrow on my turn and for sure come up turn 2.  He still came in on turn 2 but scattered off and hurt no one. Luckily the Doom drew a ton of fire and he lived to keep going. 

The Terror from the Deep..

As the year of the bug continues I want to try out more units that I never use.  We has seen the Parasite, Deathleaper, a tryanofex, the carnifex and a trigon.  Next on my list is the Mawloc.
