Assholes. I still cry myself to sleep at night.
Anyway, I took my Beastmen over to Little Barrera's last night for a quick, 2000 point game. Quick 'cause he kicked my ass quick - that kind of quick. I'm not too worried about it; since my last game, my Army Book has changed, so this was really a 'get to know them' match. Here are some pictures.
The last picture is the Banshee giving my Doombull a kiss... after she killed him with box-cars on her shooting attack. He was out of his unit due to a failed charge on Manfred's unit; had I been able to get in there, I'd have probably had a much better time of it. As it was, my unsupported Minotaurs on the left flank grossly underestimated the Black Knights and were sent running from the board. I did okay maneuvering for advantage in the center, but ultimately I hinged my game on getting a shot at Manfred. My last chance was to tie up the Skeleton's unit with my Doombull and try to get my other units into combat, but it wasn't to be.
All in all, a lot of fun. It's nice to play a game you don't have much of a stake in - we don't play competitive Warhammer around here, so there's not much pressure. While I wish we could occasionally do that with 40K, it's probably not going to happen. That's our bread and butter tournament scene, so every game is testing something, trying something - that kind of thing.
Take care - Brent

That's great to see Fantasy being played. I have a Bret and a Greenskin army that sit on my shelf. We had 1 player here in Lawton but he's gone now. He was a total WAAC guy but I took the games when I could. If we ever did a WHFB tourney I'd be so in. I suck but love the format.
You might as well get one last game in before the new rulebook comes out this summer...
I'm holding off on Fantasy until 8th comes out. Then it might be fun again :P
I had never played fantasy until last year when Brent ran the little league we had and I feel in love. Can't wait to play some more. Got my Brits and I am ready to play.
Playing LB at 2000 points is a masochistic wish. That's when I play, the largest I'll go is 1999 :D
hehe
However, at least he wasn't playing you with his dwarves with that Anvil o' DOOOOOOOOOOOM (and special character that allows you to reroll failed rolls--I think) and such sick amounts of Magic Counter dice.
It's enough to make a purse swinging High Elf Lord cry....
Assholes. I still cry myself to sleep at night.
I almost pee'd a little bit when I read that one...
Nuthin but love for ya!
