Necrons at Lehi Utah Grand Tournament

Had a tremendous time at Grand Tournament in Lehi UT. First off a huge huge hats off to Game Grid and Lou Rollins for putting on a great show (did I forget someone?) This was my first time at Game Grid and it’s an impressive location with a top notch game area. My son and I got out of the house at 8am sharp and with good traffic we arrived a half hour early.

As we were waiting and watching people filter in, I got out my army to review my list, and to my horror I found that I didn’t pack the five Scarab Swarms that I added to my force. Gah! Thanks to the friendly staff at Game Grid I was able to get a box with three swarms in there, and with some creativity Jonah and I managed to stretch assemble and paint them in about ten minutes. Saved. My first game was against Chuck Burns with his exquisite Custodes. What great fortune to have such a personable opponent.

We then went to lunch at McDonalds. I like filet o fish with extra cheese. Asking for extra cheese on things makes them have to create it fresh and not off the heating rack. There’s a dad-level life-hack for you. Jonah went up against one of the best players in the state in his first round Nick Wenker and got body-slammed 90-25. A great learning experience. It’s always a privilege to go up against one of the greats.

Second game against wargaming local Aaron Fyffe with an unusual list: Dark Angels with five drop pods and some old-marines. Oh and a hammerfist of terminators. It was brutal. As usual, I played like an ignoramus: forgetting my secondaries, mis-positioning units, improper screening and so forth. God, how can I have played this game so long and still be so bad at it? And I’m actually trying nowadays, that’s the worst part.

Third game was the most interesting. Having lost two games I thought to myself “at last, here among the dregs, I can scrape up a win!” Alas not to be so. I was up against Matt Toman of Las Vegas and what I now call his “Fireline” army of Tzeentch horrors. No Lords of Change, just a crap-ton of horrors. He had over a thousand points of reinforcements. It was a list and a strategy worthy of a whole article in itself, and clearly he played it very well, maneuvering with ease, never missing a beat with coherency. Basically, the list moves forward with a huge line of thirty Pink Horrors. This unit does not get smaller. With Blues popping in, at one time it was fifty models strong, and stretched across the board holding four out of five objectives, and unless you Fly, you are not getting across that line. I hammered that unit for four turns before it started to crack. But by that time I had lost 90-45.

I only report wins and losses as a matter of interest. Fundamentally, I just enjoy the game. Jonah also had a game with a perfect 100, so maybe talent skips a generation.

By 7:30pm I was just beat from standing on concrete for ten hours. Next time, I’m going to wear better shoes. Improving a little each time. Once home I spent some time sitting with my lovely wife, side by side in chairs, looking over our newly growing lawn. Two months ago it was barren lifeless dirt, and now thanks to my daily raking and tending and seeding it is about seventy percent vibrant green. It’s only a matter of time. It’s a magic time. I helped around the house for a while before passing out on an unmade bed.My goal this year was to play a hundred games with my Necrons. I am now at game 20. I don’t think I’m gong to make it, but at least I can soldier on. Tin metal soldier on.

Necron Journal Update- vs DeathGuard

IMG_1245Why do i like to lose?

As you know, I’ve been working up my competitive Necrons list and working at becoming a better player.  I’m at game six now.  I hope to manage a hundred games over the course of a year.  My two sons are coming along on the journey with me.  My older son Jonah (19) has already painted up his Dark Angels army and it getting to work on Drukhari.  He hasn’t played even one game yet, I keep selfishly snapping them up each week.  We are both going to a Grand Tournament here in Utah mid-May.  The attendance is likely to top fifty people.

My younger son Griffin (15) is playing DeathGuard.  He’s a good painter, but hasn’t painted his army fully yet.  We’re almost done collecting the figures needed.  We played a 2000 point game yesterday, doing everything by the book so we can learn our armies.  He took me to the cleaners.  I only had twenty Warriors and a Technomancer on the board by the end of turn 2.

Here’s my list:

1x Lord with Resurrection Orb (and nothing else)

1x Chronomancer (throws 5++ on Monolith each turn)

1x Technomancer

1x Iluminor Szeras (he got mowed down by a Drone-mower)

1x Canoptek Reanimator

2x Ghost Ark (each with 10x Warriors)

40x Warriors

1x Monolith

Here are the highlights and what I learned.

1) I got to get rid of the Monolith.  It never does that much before getting blown up.  And it eats up a whopping 6CP just to field it.  But I just love it so much.  Not sure what’s coming in to replace it.  But I definitely need some heavy hitters to go in with the Warriors and countercharge any unit that goes in there to trouble them.

2) I went first and by the end of my turn 2, I controlled all six objectives.  But then I got hit with the DeathGuard elites that just wiped me off the board.

3) It’s Mortarion, I can’t deal with him.  The Monolith got him down to five wounds.  But when he hits in Close Combat it’s game over.  I used Curse of the Phaeron to auto-explode for D6 mortal wounds on so many things.  I killed like five units.

4) The Lord res-orb-ed a unit, used the newly animated models to creep on to an objective and claim it, then during movement I teleported to the back lines and then charged a tank to get them on the back objective.

5) I forgot to re-roll “1”s when I reanimated my Warriors.  Other than that I played a pretty good game.

6) I’m loving the Chronomancer every time.  The Conoptek Reanimator seems not so useful.  I keep giving this cow a chance, but it just underperforms and seems like a flushed 80 points.

IMAG0308

The year is 2012.
My four year old daughter comes into the bedroom and asks for an egg. There are hard-boiled eggs in the fridge, already peeled so I tell here to “go get one silly”. However, she only found the non-boiled eggs and one after another broke them on the floor looking for the hard-boiled eggs.
Her shirt says “Ninjas made me do it”. Priceless.
