I'm the Ork player from game one, and I know you used your lash rules to good effect. About the only thing I could fault about your game was that while we had a very close battle for your objective that was really on a knife edge, at my objective... nothing happened. With your list I'd have been tempted to stick some beserkers in the Land Raider with Kharn to fight in midfield, have a unit of beserkers in a rhino on your objective, and use the empty rhino to just generally get in my way and slow my advance. The termies I'd have deep striked near my objective to kill my scoring unit. Don't worry about if the lootas take you out in retaliation, kill that scoring unit and who cares what else happens. <br /><br />With that kind of game you generally need some dynamic entry in the list to get better than a draw. If you had something in reserve that could potentially threaten my objective, I wouldn't have been able to go hell for leather at yours - I'd have had to have held something back myself, just in case.scotchjonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-67487276936738070722011-06-07T20:05:18.560+01:002011-06-07T20:05:18.560+01:00Hmmm those words of wisHmmm those words of wisTheDeadBaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-83794821025791722752011-06-07T10:24:57.517+01:002011-06-07T10:24:57.517+01:00I'm going to tell you what I told Dave. Firstl...I'm going to tell you what I told Dave. Firstly pick a list. It doesn't matter whether it is filled with "competitive" choices or just stuff you like. However, make sure that you have a plan for each unit (look at Darren - he has some units I'm his list that "the internet" will tell you are rubbish but he knows exactly what they're all going to do)<br /><br />Play with that list for 10 games. Try and play against as many different types of army as possible - horde, gunline, mech etc. After each game, make a note of what went well and what didn't. <br /><br />Then make some tweaks based on those 10 games. Try and keep the core of the list the same though. <br /><br />I'm the same as you in that I like to run different lists all the time but it's not helpful in learning the strengths and weaknesses of your army...ClawsandFistsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-31590008237054816402011-06-07T08:37:05.599+01:002011-06-07T08:37:05.599+01:00Good to see you there, if it wasn't for my fin...Good to see you there, if it wasn't for my final game against Scott (friend of From the Fang), I too would have been bottom. But I wouldn't let it get to you, play how you want to play to enjoy, don't jump on the competitive BoLS lists bandwagon just yet.

If you feel you improve...Sounds like a plan dude. <br /><br />If you feel you improved in any way from the experience then thats a bonus. <br /><br />If your getting used to the special rules - grab a couple of your other codex's - make up typical units and just run mini skirmishes on your desk - I find it just helps me remember rules for units that I am unfamiliar with. Paired with your notes you'll be golden. I know the feeling - when I was running my blood angels I near enough had to write "REMEMBER RED THIRST" on my hand before the game - out of about 40 or 50 games with them I think I remembered to do it less than 50% of the time (I also never actually roll a 1 for RT either ...) <br /><br />As the Squats as IG - all I say is DAMN YOU. Thats my idea ... ;D I really want to do it - but I don't think I can bring myself to do a IG army lol Would love to see how you do the models as I have a few idea's myself - I've looked at a bit of the Dwarf fantasy range and there are some good models - I have some old RT ones in my bits box - and eBay was going to be the rest lol.bullynoreply@blogger.com
