It's a smaller, "fun" tournament - only 1000 point, maximum one detachment (no Spearhead, Supreme Command, Auxiliary Superheavy, or Superheavy Detachments), Only one unit allowed over Power Level 10, No individual model may have over 11 Wounds, and No more than 60 models of the Troop Choice battlefield role may be included in your army - so there won't be any Knights or any Super Heavy/Lords of War! <br /><br />Last year I faced Daemons, Thousand Sons, Dark Angels, and Orks. So, lots of toughness 4 - with the Marines all having 3+ saves or the demons with those awful 5+/5+ saves... There was a few Guard armies with a Leman Russ or two (Including mine!), Some marines with their lighter armoured stuff. Necrons..?. Tyranids...? Lots of T4.... And the Necrons just keep coming back!? <br /><br />http://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2018/03/battleforce-recon-tournament.html<br /><br />Not sure what will be there this year. <br /><br />The Swooping Hawks seem like they should be good with Assault 4 Lasblasters - If I have seven of them, that's 28 shots - at 3+ I should hit with 18 of them... but with Strength 3 versus Toughness 4 suddenly that's only 6 of them wounding and four of those being saved by 3+ saves against a weapon with no AP.... <br /><br />We shall see. Should be fun, regardless!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-49416183551952748092019-03-29T11:58:55.994-07:002019-03-29T11:58:55.994-07:00Seems like a fun game.

Consider what you are likely to fight against at the tournament, if it will be mostly marine or marine-analogs (or knights), then you probably can leave the swooping hawks on the painting bench.

They eat up a lot of points for something that twill die pretty quickly. Points-wise, three of them are about the same as one Wraithlord - but the Wraithlord is toughness 8 and has 10 wounds!? So, even though they may become Priority Target #1, they'll at least be a bit more survivable!! (Though, for some reason, the Wraithlord is twice as much Power Level as a unit of three Dark Reapers!?)<br /><br />The Warp Spiders can set up in the web way to avoid alpha smite, so, yeah, they'll probably be something I paint more of sooner! <br /><br />I'm going to try and get in a game with Finnegan's Orks over the weekend with the same force and see how they do. timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-43597838032605315052019-03-29T08:55:21.448-07:002019-03-29T08:55:21.448-07:00Fun looking game, I'm guessing we're going...Fun looking game, I'm guessing we're going to see more wraithlords/ upgraded wraithlords and more warp spiders!

I had a brainstorming session the other night for names for the various aspect shrines each of the aspect squads come from... In my usual juvenile form, they ended up mostly being penis euphemisms... Shrine of the Morning Wood, Shrine of the Throbbing Shaft, Shrine of the One-Eyed Serpent.... you get the idea... timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-70007376284404070992019-03-28T16:37:35.904-07:002019-03-28T16:37:35.904-07:00I am sad to hear you've buggered your elbow - ...I am sad to hear you've buggered your elbow - hopefully it comes back quickly!
