Feast of Blades: Update 4

I'm in my room, hanging out with Nick and Rob.  I just played Game 2.

I just lost Game 2!

Earlier, Nick asked, "Do you want me to tell you what's wrong with your list?"

Darkwynn reminds me of my friend, the Master Manipulator (every store needs one); with that in mind:

"Nope."

Not until I'm sitting down!

My first game was a close affair, and since it was only a seeding game, it wasn't a bad deal.  I scored right there in the middle.

Second game... I was outplayed by a Vulkan build.

My opponent, Thomas, was awesome, but he was also very accomplished with his army.  He told me he's been perfecting it for years.

Me?  I just realized something...

I CHANGED MY ARMY BEFORE AN EVENT.

Again.

(Evil Homer and the Master Manipulator (every store needs one) will know what he means.  Hell, Darkwynn already knows.)

It's a thing.

So I have a list Logan no longer makes sense in.  Also, static firepower isn't so hot anymore.  Most importantly, I simply need to play better.

You see, after Game 1 I realized I needed to centralize Logan (Hogan.  HOGAN!) so as to get the most use from him... but then, in Game 2, I stuck him on the flank.

Again.

I was too afraid of my opponent's Rock, which consisted of Vulkan and 7 Thunder Hammer Storm Shield Terminators in a Land Raider.  I threw way too much into destroying them, ultimately costing me the game.

I'm having a blast!  All of the above is secondary to playing great games of Warhammer, plus I love playing the Brotherhood.

Gotta run - Game 3, coming up!

  1. Darkwynn must be one hell of a great guy if he reminds brent of me.

    I will say this once, if I have said it a thousand times.

    You don't take a untested list to a tournament no matter how good you think you are.

  2. Nick is a great guy, you're a great guy, and yea, you've told me a thousand tines!

    But good player or no, I really haven't had time to prepare. This one was about the experience. Besides, first game was seeding, so now I've recollected myself. I'm two and one now.

    As an interesting aside, goatboy is the only undefeated player.

  3. I love reading your blog! You have the perfect demeanor for an opponent I would want while wargaming.
