Blog Wars 3! 2 Weeks to go!!

Hey all,
Just a quick one today, a community post/reminder. Over at From The Fang, we all have just a few more days to purchase our tickets for Blog Wars 3!

What is it you ask? Nice and simple, an 1750 WH40K tournament, played over 3 games in one day.
The difference? You must include a special character.

No biggie here to be honest as so many of the characters in 40K these days (read: 5th ed lol) have been hyper useful *cough* Coteaz *cough*
Some special characters are turd on the other hand. Brother Captain Stern for example.

As of now, the Sons are representing with myself (Venerable Brother), Atreides, Kabalite and friend of the Sons, Bringer of Death.


See, here's the rub. Can you beat me? I've won Blog Wars for the past two times.. can you stop me? lol!

  3. I recognise my failing and will work to correct it!
    Edited back to 1750..
    Sorry Alex, it's just I've been running 1850 for all of this year and it just kinda slipped out!
    @Atreides..I've been winning cause I'm simply superior... ;)

  4. I was signed up but pulled out a few days ago.

    GL to those going though, Atreides will win though, if he doesn't take 4 billion foot guys again.

    1. Losing is no fun though!

      I'd just chuck marbo in and go for the gusto.

  6. Haha...Bully, I read that in one of your many, many draft posts sitting around..

    @Andy.. I too have been battling away. The strongest contenders? FootDar and Jumper BA with both Meph and Sanguinor.

    But the lure of prestige (3 in a row) and £50 first prize is so strong!!! Mainly the money tbh as I could get a whole extra Dystopian Wars army for that on the day!! OR through in and get the DUST Warfare boxed set or something without having to pay out!
    Does that make sense? The prize is to good not to try and win!

    2. I think if I still had my deathwing I'd have gone - but I'd have swapped the bikes for predators and speeders.

      If that army is good in 6th (i.e not good because I can play it well, but actually strong) I'll prob remake it properly again.

  8. Stop being wusses - make a good list and just shove a crappy special character in!

    1. what did you take? i want to know so that i can tailor my list.

  10. I am willing to put money on Necrons.

    I can't see Ven turning up with a fluffy Blood Angel list. He MAY pull wolves out? Though I can't see him taking any of the special characters.

    Dark Eldar again? Doubt it.

    Blood Hunters, AKA Coteaz spam?

    I think its Necrons. He still wants to win!

  11. meh, i dont care about losing, this event is not about the winning in any case. however, i am all out of fun ideas for guard lists , so i might go for my usual list with harker chucked in instead of a chimera, since i do love playing that list so much.
