A small crowd tonight, but sometimes that when the most fun is had.
First attempt at a doubles practice game was Daemons & Necrons vs Tyranids & Space Marines. WesCron phased out in real life, so we started a second game, with Space Wolves replacing the Necrons.
We played the Doubles scenario in which each team picks a single opponent's army to count for kill points. The Tyranids threw everything they had to stem the Daemons, while the Space Wolves and Space Marines (both kill point armies) commenced epic close combat slap fighting. The Tyranids fell just after Fateweaver's arrival.
The last unit on the board for the Space Marines was a Chapter Master, his sword pointed toward the oncoming horde of Daemons. In Turn 6, he lived through Breath of Chaos, Boon of Mutation, Daemonic Gaze, Soul Grinder's Harvester and 4 assaulting Bloodcrushers. He finally succumbed to Fateweaver in assault, on the last possible die roll. That dude took a huge Warhammer beating, and in death there was rejoicing because he was epic in life.
Looking forward to the tournament Saturday. Big Sam and I, Team Orbital Bombardment, is a well-oiled machine!
