Many followers of chaos were very Loyal untill the Imperium threw them out, Thousand Sons especially,

Hehe, true.

Specially with 1000 Sons vs their mortal loyalist enemies: The SpaceWolves.

for the record though , andrew doesnt play thousand sons; he plays his own chaos war band who happens to worship tzeentch for the invul saves it gives his army. he doesnt own a single thousand sons model

there'll be games at beau's, yes, but if too many show, some of us may move it to the den. depends how many show up, and lately its been all the evil players vs lil ol me.

Well so far I think we have 2 loyalist and 2 sucessionist for sure on Thurs, with about 3 "maybe's" for either side, so if anyone else firms up someone will HAVE to play at the Den.

I'll be able to host a lot more from June 21st to July 18th, since my wife is taking the kids and visiting her folks in Niagara. Nothong wrong w/ playing at the den, it's just we usually have the boards set up in my basement and marked off for the Boarding action missions already.

Id be able to come this week.

So how many boards can you fit exactly? Like, 2, 3, or 4?

I can fit 2 in my basement. We managed the 4 of us there last week and it was all good. So far thats..

Mike/Dusktiger (L)
Beau/Roland (S)
Andrew/Podrat (S)
Ben/Spamus (L)
Adam/Canadin (L)
Robyn/SC (S)

and Dan/Bear maybe/maybe not:)
Johnny 5 are you avaliable?

well, thursday night consisted of a single match between Canadin's Chaos Marines (seccessionists) vs Spamus' Deathwing (loyalists)

the boarding action played was Sabotage, Ben chose to be attacker and take 2nd turn. adam rolled for a total of 4 objectives that he had to defend against ben's attempts to destroy said objectives. (done by shooting or assaulting AV12, auto destroy on any glance/pen rolls).

Ben managed to destroy 2 by the end of the game, which meant having to break the tie by falling to secondary objectives; kill points.

unfortunately, while ben managed to charge through in the end and pick up 2 kill points the last turn, this resulted in a tie in kill points of 4 to 4, thus resulting in a deadlock tie. thus the total phase score remained unchanged this week.

so the total score this month so far stands at 13 Loyalists, 6 Seccessionists.

I really enjoyed playing the Space-Hulk'esque boarding mission, I'm interested in playing as many of these as possible.

One thing I learned is that I really need to read up on those strategic assests. Ben actually got 3 kill points on the last turn by powerfisting my terrantula that did nothing all game, so from now on, no assets that give kill points.

I hope more people can show next week.

so weds night held 2 games of Boarding actions;

game 1:
beau's ultramarines (loyalists) vs dan's space wolves (seperatists)
search and destroy.

these guys went at it and despite 5 brutal game turns, wound up with a deadlocked tie in kill points. 0 CP earned for either side.

Game 2:
my Blood Angel Death Company vs Paz's Dark Eldar raiding my battlecruiser.
Capture the Flag.

paz basically only needed to hold 1 objective to beat me since DC cant take objectives, but i managed to slow him up with alot of bulkhead doors. after 4 turns, he had wiped me down to the last of my 3 10man DC squads, killed astorath, a chaplain, and a DC dread, and 2 DC squads. thankfully i managed to contest the sole objective he managed to get near with that single squad, thus pulling a pherric victory out of my arse. had we the time to play another round, he would have possibly tabled me.

playing a non-marine army that was acting as a random raiding/pirate/mercenary force taking advantage of the chaos the civil war was causing, and BARELY pulling a win out of it, earns the loyalists 1 CP.


This now brings the totals to 14 Loyalists, 6 Seperatists.
