Group Game this Saturday at Casa de Bill?

Unfortunately, food will not be provided by Kirsten this time :P

I vote a 3v2 ...Me, Chris and Eddie 1k pts a piece vs Space Vikings and Smelly EL-Dar Cool J's 1500 pts each. Or if Rob is on Beeper duty or Masturbation duty, 2v2. In which case I'd vote Orks/Tau vs DarkAngels/Eldar. I texted Mike to see if he was down too.

I think the Orks/tau - DAngels/Eldar is a good setup Balance-Wise. Sea of close-combat units/Shooting-only units VS Bulky melee/Magic army.

I enjoy our group games, lets get one goin at my house! I'll order pizza or something, Idc. Just wanna play Fowty-Kay!

End Results for this weekend's 2 matches

Chaos Space Marines (Bill) versus Codex Space Marines (Rob)
1250 points, Learning game (my first game as Chaos SM)
End Result - Rob sneaks a 6-5 Killpoint victory at the conclusion of Turn 6

Lesser Daemonettes killed 3 terminators
Beserkers ate up 2 squads
4 turn long combat between a Demon Prince with 3 wounds and a stupid Venerable Dreadnaught. No weapons and Immobilized, still headbutting me for 3 turns and not dying....

------------------------

Tyranids (Mike OB) versus Dark Angels (Ed)
1500 points - My typical Deathwing-heavy list minus the bikers against Mike's more experimental list

Scenery - Buddy's dinning room table, "fusion reactor" candle vases, banana barricades, paper plate craters, and plastic bowl/coffee cup hills

End Result - Dark Angel Victory, 6-4 Kill points in turn 7.

Lots of Marine shooting until the Nids could reach their weak* right flank . Deathwing mobile gun line FTW - By the end of the game the Angels had managed to swing their lines around and start falling back towards what was once their right flank... the Whirlwind actually made it to the end, falling back 6 inches every turn and firing direct.

On the other side of the table, the Tyranofex put a hurting on a squad of terminators and a combat squad of devastators. On top of that it (Mike can confirm - I think it was the Tyranofex) managed to get a shot into the second group of devastators that actually made them fail their check and fall back off the table.

The Dark Angel MVP of the game was actually that weak side 10-man tactical marine squad. They managed to stay tied up in combat for 2 rounds, repelling one squad of hormagaunts and tying up another along with two more squads of genestealers. However the Nids also used an ability to reduce their BS/WS to 1, making them much less effective to hold thereafter. Kudos to the whirlwind for thinning out at least one squad of those stealers before they hit into their battle brothers.

Not going down without a fight, and buying their comrades some time,

the last of the angels are encircled and consumed

*weak as it was the one side with less terminators

Collector of Obscure Armies

Ed I posted a link to my army collection progress Blog, but couldn't move it down to Member pages.

Chyea. Cya's on Sun-dee.

battle report?

what happened to the last battle report? i wanted to hear all about orks getting massacred - even though i was there to witness it, muwahahaa.

Anyone up for a 2v2 this weekend?

I vote Tau/Orks vs the world!

Friday: Time to kill the heretics

Well, the weekend is finally here and the only thing I hate worse than dirty xenos is warp-touched traitorous heretics running around with their silly spikes and stupid pointy-toothed grins. Please, look in a mirror and tell me that worshiping the gods of Chaos has worked out for you, especially you Nurgle fanatics. What's that snapping out of your diseased ridden stomach there? Oh, it's just your intestines, complete with sentience and serrated teeth...

Hello, can you hold this for me?

Bill, my tabletop hate for you has magnified ten-fold. Repent! For tomorrow (or the near future) you die!

Edit Pages. Lists.

I dunno if everyone can see the sidepanel blog thingy for me that has my entire Tau army index in it. For reference, I propose we should document as accurately as possible the armies we possess collectively. Kind of a pain I know but so is collecting as many armies as we all have. Ed if we create a section for this you can just copy and paste my Tau army list into a new blog/new section. No rush, I'm sure everyone has a ballpark idea of how large their armies are point-wise.

I'd like to see how large our Dark Eldar and Necron armies are. Mike since you're the only player with 2 accounts i hope you spend a lil time on here. If you read this page, do it up you dirty Texan with the D.Eldar and Necron armylists.

Base unit costs, necessary upgrades only. You know the deal peoples.

-----------------------

From Ed...

Sounds good Bill. Considering there is a limit of 10 stand alone pages, I've taken your advise and rolled all the army lists into one page, which you can access to the right, under "useful links". They are in Alpha order and I have added anchor links so you can click and jump to that section of the Army Lists.

PLEASE NOTE: Blogger is being a bitch and f'ing up my links if you go to edit that page, switch to compose mode, and publish. Because of that, please just post your army lists in a regular blog on the main page, and I will transfer them over to the army list section. Alternatively, feel free to send me them via email or facebook. (or make sure you only edit from HTML tab) Thanks.

Now, for those of you who would like your own "member page" to do what you want with, you can also create that, and it will be automatically added to the "member page" menu also in the side bar. To add a page, simply go to the "Posting Tab", click on "Edit Pages" and click "New Page".

These act as static blog posts. Which means, you will only be able to edit that one initial post on the page to add things, however, they will never be posted to the main blog body as updates (hitting "new post" even on your page seems to add it to the main body and not that static page).

Please let me know if anyone has any questions.

High Points of Game - Eldar making phenomenal 4+ armor saves. Gay Rob's ordinance blast killing 4/5 DR's. Guardians being resilient for the first 4 turns. Star cannons VERY ineffectual. AUTARCH DESSIMATING 8 MAN GH SQUAD IN ONE TURN FOLLOWED BY A RHINO :)

Player One Commentary
“Solid performance out of the space wolves. very balance all comers army list. Eldar army was very fluid and mobile with good shooting. The lucky ordinance shot wiping out the dark reapers and the rune priest shutting her magic phase won me the game".

If anything at all, what would you change about your units or your overall strategy? - "The all father protects"

Player Two Commentary

"Who wants to mess with the extreme emotions of the Eldar?"

If anything at all, what would you change about your units or your overall strategy? - “I tried out something new: 2 dire avengers in wave serpents...i doubt i'll take that again...i miss my hard hitting units (shining spears or harlequins), Bright lances were popped first turn...and star cannons did shieet, oh well!”

Additional Comments or Thoughts -

The ONE time rob calls on "the power of mikEL" his ordinance hits and takes out ALL my DR's.

Scheduling with Google Calendars!

Using the jrzyhammer@gmail.com account I opened a calendar and included all of you (via the emails you provided) to access and edit it.

So, if you so choose, we can actually schedule our games.

http://www.google.com/calendar/

Once in, you'll be able to add events to the general "jrzyhammer@gmail.com" calendar that we all have access to.

TIP: When entering events, type the time first and then the event name (e.g. 12pm Buttsecks) and the time will appear in bold and subscript on the calendar, standing apart from the name.

In addition, I've added a "useful" links widget to the sidebar and tossed the above into it along with one of my favorite sites. Please add yours via layout > edit the useful links widget.

Ork did da hummie letterz

Here is my attempt at having the JRZY a bit more defined.

Throw down this weekend

Ok so after working all night driving back from DE last night and then watching Bailey earlier im about to go to bed.

Who wants to meet the Orks.

P.S.

I fed the fish for about 5 minutes. I wish they were gretchens

Blood and Thunder

See Bill, it's suggestions like those that really make me think you should be playing Orks. That and your love of Kroot mobs, which are more or less Ork Lite.

Logo...

So, I was messing around with logo ideas and came up with this. I wasn't sure what to put in the blank space (maybe a slogan?) where "40,000" would normally be, but I thought it was wise to remove it, in case we want to expand our talks into the regular Warhammer Fantasy realm.

I may work with different lettering and metal plates when I find the time. Perhaps more rusted looking metal. I think it gets the idea behind our name out though, a sort of take over or blending of Warhammer and jrzy.

What do you think of the direction? Ideas, suggestions, etc. welcome!

Ironically, the green of "hammer" already matches the old background color of the blog. That said, does anyone prefer this simple black layout? Seems more fitting for the grim dark of 40K, eh?

Because I love you guys...

D.E.D

ELDAR IS BLOOD THIRSTY....WHO WANTS TO DIE FIRST, HMMMM????
