Must admit, I'm getting less and less aghast at the chance of GW turning 40k into AoS as its simple and is a lot of fun (now they've removed the ridiculous rules)JamieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206287212346614676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-53143615477506343362016-08-29T13:59:24.432-05:002016-08-29T13:59:24.432-05:00Well, I tried to design a mean power army, and was...Well, I tried to design a mean power army, and was told by pretty much everyone I played that I had brought a fluffy weak Tau army! I ended up 1-3-1 in 36th out of 40! The one saving grace was I got 4th out of 40 on painting. I felt bad taking this army and it was one of the weakest there.... GW continues to prove that they can write cool fluff, make cool models, and has no idea how to make fun, balanced, competitive, tactical, or strategic rules.ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-76509090907164240182016-08-27T22:30:35.225-05:002016-08-27T22:30:35.225-05:00Ok, so day 1 down, and this over the top (in my mi...Ok, so day 1 down, and this over the top (in my mind) list went 1-2.... and the 1 win was "maybe" a win?

I had fun, but it went about as well as you might expect. Should have led with the Wraithguard in a Wave Serpent going Flat Out first turn. Eh, shoulda, woulda, coulda. <br /><br />Best of luck at the tournament!DaveVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629682074533048304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-18722782295733278092016-08-26T17:59:30.432-05:002016-08-26T17:59:30.432-05:00Very nice indeed mate!

The issue being that since this is modern 40k, my crib notes cheat sheet is 4 PAGES of rules!!! I wish the game allowed tactics instead of just adding special rules every other week! My bet is, even with the cheat sheet, I will still forget to use 1/2 the rules all weekend....ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-27108980731411123402016-08-25T20:51:55.107-05:002016-08-25T20:51:55.107-05:00Nice army Byron!
