So, guess I will be playing in the 40K League starting up
tonight… Something to kill time I
guess. Overall it does not look bad, but
it is essentially the 6.5 version of the game that not only did not fix some of
the VERY major issues, it introduces another set of “WTF” issues. As long as no on brings the stupid broken
crap, it will be fun, but I have to admit to having FAR less enthusiasm for
this. Tim is using the BAO rules verbatim,
so… Well, honestly not entirely sure
WHAT that means at this point. Not
really seeing any major restrictions. I
guess I could put together my Spartan and run a few Land Raider class tanks
across the table. Playing Blood Angels
(Fleshtearers), so I can bloody well drop my tanks right into their DZ. So, looking at the 750 point level for the
first few weeks I’ll likely bring:
Reclusiarch (Jump Pack)
Death Company (x5, Jump Packs, 2 with Power Weapons)
Death Company DN (Not sure which weapons, guessing the
standard “I Don’t Care” CCW vs the “Claws of Eternal Combat”, Heavy Flamer,
Drop Pod)
Storm Raven (MM, TL LC)
So, LOW model count, but I think that with the Drop Pod AND
the DN being super scoring (“Objective Secured”), having the flier and troops
that simply do NOT run away… Could null
deploy, but risky as you still lose when you have nothing on the table at the
end of any Game Turn… But still… Could be hilarious J…
Like I said though, I have almost NO confidence that I can
do much other than die with a book so badly outdated, but this is pretty much
the opposite of the “standard meta” would say I should bring. 750 points is simply too small to try to
cover more than the most basic stuff, hoping that it is a fun list that does
not get swept or alternately sweep people off the field and give them the
(mistaken) impression that the BA book is somehow overpowered J…
Sunday is the first month of the 6 month Borg OP event… Looking at bringing either a Federation or
Dominion fleet to the field, and leaning heavily toward the Federation… With some of the things I have I can field:
Fed Borg 2
USS Voyager (30)
Mr. Spock (4)
Adm. James T. Kirk (5)
Hikaru Sulu (3)
Pavel Chekov (3)
Ship SP: 45
U.S.S Enterprise-D (28)
Jean-Luc Picard (6)
Engage (3)
Dmitri Valtane (3)
Montgomery Scott (5)
Ship SP: 45
Total Build SP: 90
Generated by STAW Builder
Gives me 2 pretty decent ships that can fire 360 degree arcs
(if needed), repairs, good fast movement and a few tricks and frankly
disposable upgrades to keep the Borg off my back for a bit while I deal with
the opposing fleet… We’ll see I guess J
