SM Open - Day 2

So... the defeats are finally over. I ended up losing both my games on day two and are now officially the worst 40K player (of the SM Open). I don't fret though. I learned a lot during these two days, and my opponents were real great winners and made me have a good time while I removed buckets of orks from the table.

One of the top moments in my 40K "career" was the game against the Imperial Guard at game three the first day. We both had no intentions to win, lots of laughs was had and it was an -extremely- close game.

LESSONS LEARNED

Lootas need defense lines. The amount of fire they attracted was at some times hilarious. 

Battlewagons have extremely huge sides so that AV14 in the front dont matter that much.

Deffrollas... not that awesome but still awesome.

Feel no pain cybork body ork nobs are... silly fun! :D

And enough with that, onto the pictures!

What I had left on the table at game 1, turn 3... 

"OK men! Re-roll your re-rolls and let's finish this!"

Close game that ended up 12-8 to the Chaos Daemons

Some non-beardy-dude from the south!

Day 1, game 2 vs. Ultra-Vulcan-Marines (and some IG)

It's like the Vendetta is made to get a sharks mouth. It sure eats my troops like a great white.

Soundly beaten by this awesome eybrow bro-dude!

Day 1, game 3. Imperial Guard gunline. 

"Don't give up on me now son!"

The green tide!

The red tide!

First tourney in 20 years and this is what I get! CHEESE! :D

Getting ready to penetrate the rectal armour of my orks!

Jesper, winner of the SM Open!

Rikard, the official swedish champion of 40K!

SM Open - Day 1

Completely unrelated picture apart from Orcs and Die.

So I got lured into playing in the open section of the Swedish Championship, a two day event in Stockholm... The first day was a blast. Really a blast (eheheh-heheh). Even though I got seriously creamed. :D

I brought a simple list consisting of three battlewagons, nobs, two 20 man mobs of ork boyz and some assorted odds and ends. What might have been a mighty force in 5th (lol I dunno) is a mess in 6th. At least when you end up against Grey Knights and other assorted stuff and you DO NOT have an Aegis Defense line to hide behind. My lootas has gotten so shot up today it's not even funny. Or well, it is/was funny in a dark humour kind of way.

Anyhow, three games got played today. The first against Grey Knights ended up with me getting tabled in turn 4. Second game against Space Marines with Imperial Guard allies ended up with me getting tabled in turn 5. Third game, against a pure Imperial Guard force ended up with a really really close game with me losing by just one single point.

But it could have been worse, I could have played Chaos Demons. Apparently they kick serious butt now. At least according to the assorted cries I've heard from the tables where people played against them... :)

I may suck, but I had a ton of fun. Pictures and more details tomorrow if I'm not too exhausted! :)
