Forthcoming Homecoming.

After a brief encounter with Warmachine/Hordes, I will be coming back to my first love (can you call paying through the nose for a rollercoaster of emotions depending on how certain units perform?). I have two games lined up for my Necrons in the next few days.

First up is a game against my friend Dan and his Tyranids (or Chaos Marines if he changes his mind). this is going to be a fairly big game of 3000 points per side. This won't be an Apocalypse game as I don't think we'd have much time on Saturday. The last Apocalypse game we had last year took a whole weekend to play. That was a game between my 13000 point Dark Angels and Imperial Guard and Dan's 8000 point Chaos Marine and Tyranid army. I had to scale my force back a bit but still managed to take a full battle company. We had invited two other players to help out with getting the game finished, but sadly one didn't turn up so Dan was controlling all of his models by himself. We only ended up managing three full turns which resulted in a draw.

I have been craving a large game like this as down at my local club we are restricted to smaller games. I have been itching to roll handfuls of dice in anger (with Warmachine you don't need more than four dice). The force that I will be taking, will be led by The Deceiver along with two untested units (a Monolith and some Pariahs (I have used the Pariahs before but they didn't really do anything apart from die)), plus a lot of familiar units. I will make a post the game shortly afterwards. I may even include some pics.

Tuesday night will be a 1750 point game against some Dark Eldar at my local club. I have never played against DE before when I was playing with my Dark Angels, so this should be fun. I will probably use the same force I used against Chris' Deathguard Marines a few weeks ago. hopefully the Dark Eldar will be a little bit more squishy than traitor marines.

That's all I have lined up for the moment. The next game is likely to be on the following Tuesday with my Necrons as I don't really feel like taking my DA (I don't think non-codex armies fared well under the 5th ed rules). Then I have a choice. I could try and play against Edsmasha (who couldn't make it due to Ork Flu), or challenge one of the Eldar players. Alternatively, I could go back to Warmachine as I will now be able to field a 500 point force. Better yet, I could try and get a game of Necromunda. My sorry Van Saar gang will want to make up for things that happened (or didn't happen) in a previous life. Choices, choices, choices...
