Aidilfitri is here again!
So, happy celebrations to all my muslim bros and sisters.
May we return to a better and bashful Waarrgh! after this holidays.
On another note, I had a game with Rizal's 5th Ultramarine company at Legio on Friday. It was a 5 marker seize ground mission with pitch battle deployment. He had 3 land raider and tried to cover all the objectives from the get go. This split of his forces enabled my boyz to dominate a flank and turned on the rest as the game progressed. In the end, it was victory for the mob with a 2-0 victory.

Da Boyz Back!
Warboss Grimfang resumed his Waagh! recently and plouged through human and heretics alike in his quest for a good fight.
1. Seize Ground (4 markers) win vs Nahri's IG
Nahri fielded his fledgling IG army and was still learning the ropes. His troopers appeared a bit "lost" and despite all the firepower thrown at them, my Nob bikerz managed to survive until game ends (albeit with only 3 survivors). His Marbo provided some ciinematic moments when he survived a round of combat against the 'ard boyz by making all his saves and refusing to run (double 1s') when defeated. Truly heroic!
My move-and-shoot big shootas caught him offguard and they wiped out his platoon command squad in a single round of shooting. The game ended on turn 5 with all his survivors running from the battlefield.
2. Seize Ground (3 markers) draw vs Shazli's Ultramarines
Shaz played differently this time. A consequence of some postings on multiply. It was a fun game and I suffered some bad rolls early in the game. My lootas and deffkoptas were destroyed without doing anything while the 'ardboyz were being toyed with by the scouts who lured them away from the main fight.
The biker nobz arrive on turn 4 and saved the day. from a defeat, they pulled it to a draw. Shaz lose focus halfway through the game and Warboss Grimfang pounced on him for that. If he keeps this up, he'll have a very good list in hand for any opponent.
3. Annihilation win vs Lexiss's CSM
My lootas distracted his attention from my bikers and 'ardboyz. His style of clumping his units close together made them vulnerable when the boyz launched their assault. I think he made a bad decision when placing the oblits. Added to that, Kharn managed to slay 3 of his own when he charged into combat.
Snikrot easily took down the havoc squad while the csm squad was gunned down by the nob bikers and komandos! Grosnik himself gained a plating from the chaos land raider when it blew up after his power klaw ripped it apart.
The higlight to me was when Lex tank shocked my deffkoptas and killed them both (twice tank shock, made death or glory and failed!) haha. In the end, only his raptors and that lucky rhino survived while i only lost those two deffkoptas.
hope to put in more games after Aidilfitri.

Raising A troop, 201st Squadron, RGKD
It is the month of September and Muslims all around the world started fasting since the middle of last month. This month, I've began work on my new IG army. Based on a friend's advice, I've decided to complete the army according to the choice selection, (e.g.: HQ, ELITES, etc.).
At the moment, I'm working on my Company command Squad, with its attendant advisors. Orders for the new models to fill up the ranks have been made with deliveries expected somewhere in November or December, courtesy of Roll Some Dice.
Anyways, this is my new list:
HQ
Company command squad
Regimental standard, medic, meltagun, heavy flamer
2 bodyguards, astropath, officer of the fleet
Primaris Psyker
ELITES
5 Stormtrooper
2 meltagun
Soldier Marbo
TROOPS
10 veterans (grenadiers)
2 plasmagun
1 meltagun
1 lascannon
Chimera

Ramadan & Gaming to come!
Ramadan is here!Another month of fasting and self contemplating, and cleansing.
On another front, Legio is starting a league soon (season 3) and in November, the much anticipated Legio tournament, The Inquisition Wars. A few of us did get together to discuss possibility of running a Mighty Empires campaign. It's still in the works but we hope to get it off the ground in at least 2 weeks time.

Apparently, the local gaming group here is keen to not see a certain ork army and Csm army win anymore leagues or tourneys. I'm sure they'll step up their efforts and I will get to see some fierce fighting soon. Waaarggh!

Da Waargh! is Back!
Had my first WH40k in so many weeks last friday at Legio. I had the opportunity to play against Shazli's Ultramarines and Lex's CSM. Grimfang managed to pull 2 victories that night. In the fight versus the sons of Gulliman, the greenskin managed to overwhelm the SM with an astounding 10 kill points to 1(Snikrot's komandos). Shaz is restarting too so, I'll expect him to be better in the weeks to come.
In my second game, I fought Lex (this was our first meeting on the tabletop), he suffered very badly from his reserves roll, with his units coming in piece meal and his most important unit arriving in turn 5! It was a 1 + 1 mission and by game's end, all his troops were dead, including Angra (counts as Abbadon), with the exception of the land raider, which become the sole survivor. I lost my warboss and majority of my biker nobz and Snikrot's mob (again)
My third game was on saturday against Alvin's Alpha Legion. it was my first time fighting him using his CSM. Last time we met, he was using tyranids. It was a killpoint mission and I had an uphill task of getting to his units, which was surrounded by marines, oblits, terminators, havoks and twin chaos lords in mutually supporting positions. In the end, we drew. it was a narrow fight in the end but the oblits refused to die and we tied at 6 kill points apiece. my biker nobs were decimated and fled off the table. I attribute this dismal performance to lack of focus and lack of sleep on my part.
On the painting side, I've completed my lootas and Shaz commented they look bright and colorful, very Orky! I've repaired the broken boyz and grots and have only 3 more bikers to paint and basing for the biker nobz to finish for my army to be completely done. On the side, Shaz has proposed a themed apoc game somewhere in December and I get to play the role of neutral arbiter/organizer for this event. I've toyed around with several ideas and drafted a suggestion to shaz for him to look over. Once we've decided on what type of scenario we're playing, we'll go into detailed planning. watch out for more news on this.

Back to Waarggh!
Now that the Warhammer tourney is over, I'm turning my attention back to the Greenies. I intend to finish off the army that was meant for SPORECON '09 and have them ready for the upcoming Legio RTT in November. As of the moment, only the Nob bikers and Lootas need any real work on them, while the rest are mostly done already.
1st Legio Warhammer Fantasy Tournament
Wow!What a day!
I made it through the day despite lacking sleep as I pushed myself to paint up my empire army. Now, I can be proud of my painted army and look forward to my next warhammer project. How did I fare? Okay I guess, considering that most of the participants from Singapore came with strong army builds. I got massacred once, lose one and gained a minor victory. I was listed in the bottom half, but I intend to get better next time.
For a full result, go check out Legio site.
