They literally looked like they were glowing, the highlighting was incredible. The freehand scales on the armour looked like real scales, not painted on. It was really incredible. Damn me for not bringing a camera! <br /><br />The IG list was interesting too, but I think the latest SW FAQ change invalidates his army. He used all foot guys. I think the count was something like 183 models, including 9 Lascannon teams, Straken, the Al-Raheim guy for some flanking goodness. He had them in giant stubborn platoons, and just plowed over everything.<br /><br />The comp score was a 0-20 ranking of how "hard" or "mean" the armies were, with 0 being mean and 20 being easy. The scoring was done by a group of people, some of which participated in the event...a sore spot with some...then I believe their average score was used. That Comp score was used to determine pairings for the first two of five games, and affected your total score.Stupid Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635724267013590918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-81105305120372495172010-01-21T06:26:25.239-05:002010-01-21T06:26:25.239-05:00Hey Bob, after reading my reply I realize that I a...Hey Bob, after reading my reply I realize that I am a fool and how stupid I sound.

Play the mission.<br /><br />Doesn't matter if you hate kill points; if the mission is kill points, you play for kill points.<br /><br />I forgive you this time, what with you being a new dad and all.

It seems a lot of people played Chaos Daemons and no one played Chaos Space Marines; any idea why that is? I am curious 'cause that is what I play.<br /><br />What was the first place finisher's IG list?<br /><br />Why didn't you get first in presentation? Or, what was better about that salamanders army?<br /><br />I am new and don't understand comp score, why was yours lower than others?<br /><br />Thanks in advanceBodacioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651694576134257330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-75726193906458297982010-01-20T13:40:41.003-05:002010-01-20T13:40:41.003-05:00I think a lot of people go to tournaments and end ...I think a lot of people go to tournaments and end up not having as much fun because the missions end up like this. In recent tournaments around here, the total number of kill points you score adjusts your rankings so winning a game by simply one kill point doesn't help you much. You have to rack up a lot of kills to be a contender for first place.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-10845840006143861172010-01-20T13:23:23.457-05:002010-01-20T13:23:23.457-05:00I think a lot of the initial disgust for kill poin...I think a lot of the initial disgust for kill points has worn off but the problem still lingers that to stop people from having to do real math you end up with these situations.<br /><br />My last game of 40K my scouts army was vs a drop pod marine army. I spent a good effort killing his pods since they amounted to more than half the kill point total for my army. They are also pretty low hanging fruit as immobile open topped vehicles. He was in such a hole then he need to essentially wipe me out to win.eriochromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377904099582258296noreply@blogger.com
