Happy Holidays to my readers and hopefully everyone has a good New Year's too. I have decided to start posting other topics besides Battle reports of mine and my brothers games. I thought I would share what my wish list was for the holiday and to mention that Games Workshop had a contest this year about sending them wish lists and possibly winning up to a $100 dollar item. Of course I didn't win but congratulations to those that did. So without further ado here it is:
- Codex: Chaos Deamons
- Warhammer 40,000 Expansion: Apocalypse
- Water Effects
- WH40K: Imperial Sector (a terrain piece)
- The Bloodthirster
- Chaos Space Marine Defiler
- Imperial Guard BaneBlade
- Tau XV8 Crisis Suit
- Tau XV88 Broadside Battlesuit

- Kroot Carnivore Squad
- Commander Shadowsun
- Tau Sky Ray Missile Defense Gunship
- The Balrog
- Eldar Harlequin Death Jester
- Eldar Harlequin Shadowseer
- Eldar Wave Serpent
- Chaos Deamons Skulltaker
Out of this list I received the Sky Ray and Commander Shadowsun. Awesome right and when I have finished painting I will post pictures. Until next time.
Seek and Destroy
Ok readers here is the last installment of our 2 on
2 battles. Unfortunately we probably will not be gaming again until
sometime after the New Year now because we want to bulk up our armies
and have a 1 on 1 tournament this time around. So without further ado
here is the play by play for this mission.
Turn 1-Space Marines and Eldar take the first turn as the SM heavy weapons squad kills 3 scarab bases.
Necrons
and Tyranids turn the Destroyers kill 3 Devastators and the Pariahs
wipe out the other 2. The monolith destroys a dreadnought.
Turn
2-On the SM and Eldar turn the Dark Reapers kill a genestealer and a
Gaunt. The space marines deep strike in the assault marines and they
kill an immortal. Then in the assault phase the Space Marines kill
another immortal.
Then the Necrons and Tyranids the Raveners
deepstrike in and so do the Flayed ones. The Tyranid warriors kill 2
Dire Avengers. In assault the genestealers kill 2 Dire Avengers and
they break, also the Raveners take out a Fire Dragon. The immortals
kill 2 assault marines and the assault marines in turn kill 2 immortals.
Turn

a wraith. The Avatar kill a genestealer and the wraithlord kills 2
more. The Dark Reapers kill 2 Gaunts. In assault the Avatar kills 2
genestealers and the assault marines take out an immortal. Marneus
Calgar kills 2 Pariahs and the regular marines kill a flayed one.
Then
on the Necron and Tyranid turn a spore mine kills a Dire Avenger as
well as a Ranger. The Zoanthrope uses Warp blast to kill 4 Dire
Avengers and the Hormagaunts kill 3 Dark Reapers. The Raveners kill a
Fire Dragon and in turn the Dragons kill both of the Raveners. The
Avatar also kills 2 genestealers.
Turn 4-The SM and Eldar
Wraithlord, Vyper and Fire Dragons all kill a total of 12 Gaunts
together. The Harlequins kill all 3 Lictors and the Land Raider
destroys the Monolith. The Dark Reapers kill 4 Gaunts. Then in
assault phase the Striking Scorpions kill a Hormagaunt and so do the
Dark Reapers. The Avatar kills the Broodlord and Marneus kills 2
Wraiths. The assault marines also kill an immortal.
On the Necrons
and Tyranids turn the Nightbringer destroys the Rhino and the Tyranid
warriors kill 2 Harlequins. The Biovore kills a Dark Reaper and a
Harlequin with a spore mine. In assault phase the Avatar kills 2
genestealers and the Dark Reapers kill a Hormagaunt. The rest of the
immortals kill an assault marine.
Turn 5-On the SM and Eldar
turn the Swooping Hawks deepstrike in and then between them, the
Wraithlord and the Vyper they kill 6 Gaunts. The Wave Serpent kills
the Zoanthrope. In assault phase the Swooping Hawks kill the last
remaining Gaunts, the Avatar kills a hormagaunt and so does the Dark
Reapers. The Striking Scorpions also kill a Hormagaunt and the SM
Sergeant kills a Flayed One.
On the Necrons and Tyranid turn the
Warriors kill 3 Harlequins and the Biovore kills another one with a
spore mine. In assault the Carnifax kills 2 Swooping Hawks and the
Hive Tyrant kills 3 more. The Hormagaunts kill a Dark Reaper and a
Striking Scorpion. The Nightbringer kills 2 Veteran Marines and
Marneus kills 2 Necron Warriors.
Turn 6-The Space Marine and
Eldar Rangers kill a Biovore. In Assault the Harlequins kill a Tyranid
Warrior and the Avatar kills 2 Hormagaunts. The Striking Scorpions
also kill a Hormagaunt but then the Hormagaunts kill 3 on the
Scorpions. The Space Marines kill a Flayed One.
Then finally on the
Necrons and Tyranids turn they go right into assault as the Tyranid
Warriors kill a Harlequin and the Hive Tyrant kills a Swooping Hawk.
The Wraithlord in turn kills the Hive Tyrant and the Hormagaunts kill a
Scorpion as well as a Hawk. Then of course the Scorpions kill 5
Hormagaunts.
Conclusion-Since it was a Seek and destroy mission
and by the time the end of the game there were still miniatures on the
table we had to go by victory points.
SM and Eldar take 2191 pts
Nids and Necrons take 1826pts
