Matt and Jason played a 2500pt game on Friday with a win to Matt's Krieg. This allowed him to claim the 3pt territory at the center of the map!
26th June – Week 59 Players (including another 2 new Epic players) played 6 games at 3000pts.
• 2x Speed Freeks
• 2x Steel Legion
• 1x Scions of Iron
• 1x Tau
• 1x Codex Marines
• 1x Krieg
• 1x Necrons
Matt’s Krieg just keep rolling on. No one has an answer to the massive Krieg Infantry Companies and their Gorgon transports. His ability to always get the Gorgons out the front in engagements is becoming legendary. Rolling 26 dice (plus supporting fire) is amazing (even when you need 5′s and 6′s to hit). We’ll have to think of something quickly… well maybe it’s too late for the campaign with only 1 week left but we do have the 1 day tournament coming up and Matt’s already bought his ticket!
Duro’s rotten luck continued as he lost one of his fully loaded Thunderhawks (carrying Terminators) to a critcal hit! Aaron seemed to have a good game plan at the start of his game with Matt’s Krieg but it all went pear shaped after some spectacularly failed armour saves. Jason’s Skorchas just keep on burning across the board leaving Adam coming up with ideas of how to make lots more for his Speed Freeks! Alistair (in his first 3000pt game) learnt that Shadowswords are very powerful and that Markerlights are very annoying! Tyson fell in love with his Leman Russes and their excellent firepower.
Having 2 more new players is just excellent. That brings us to a total of 15 players that have played 25 games over 5 weeks.
Game results:
• Necrons vs Codex Marines 5:1 to Necrons (They Shall Not Pass, Defend The Flag, Break Their Spirit, Take and Hold, Blitzkrieg to Break Their Spirit)
• Krieg vs Scion of Iron 5:0 to Krieg (They Shall Not Pass, Defend The Flag, Break Their Spirit, Take and Hold, Blitzkrieg)
• Speed Freeks vs Speed Freeks 2:0 to Jason’s Speed Freeks (Blitzkrieg, Take and Hold)
• Krieg vs Codex Marines 4:0 to Krieg (They Shall Not Pass, Defend The Flag, Break Their Spirit, Take and Hold)
The last 2 games were introduction games for new players but still entered them into the campaign.
• Steel Legion vs Tau 1:0 to Steel Legion (Break Their Spirit) Victory Point win to Steel Legion
• Speed Freeks vs Steel Legion game unfinished

The campaign map.
Matt has taken a commanding grip on the lead with 14pts. Jason is second on 6 points. Scott is 3rd on 5 points.
So no Warlords or Warlocks this week but hopefully, they’ll come out to play in the final week of the campaign. We did see a Tau Manta and a Necron Aeonic Orb but both were destroyed! Not a good sign for the massive War Engines…

Cheers for now, Steve.
