Me, Kal, Carlisle and Sakura!
Yesterday was one of the best days of my life! In a very long time. And yes a completely geeky day, which is awesome! I got to spend the day with three of the most incredible people I know! There are other people in that list who I think are rather awesome too. But those 3 are some of my personal favourite people. Love you guys!
I need a pick me up, the last 5 weeks alone have been tough.
And today I am off to see Karl for a long weekend! Can't wait if I am honest.
So I am going to post the battle report soon.
Xenos scum at dawn!
Yesterday I have played again against Sakura and her Tau Empire army.
Below is the army I have used and the resultant army list. As you can see there have been a few changes from the battle against Kel, Namely an increase in points cost, meaning I was able to take a devastator squad and an additional Tactical Squad, I also dropped both the Chaplin and the flamer wielding Dreadnought, in favour for the Captain, the tooled up command squad and a slight change of weapons in the squads in general. We shall see if this army performs any better than the one used last time. I also hope that we will play more to the time limit of the game too.

The Game was Annihilation.
I managed to steal the intuitive and that meant I got to go first.
Casualties where small at the start of the game. For both sides.
Sakura deployed heavily in the cover meaning that I had to flush her Tau out.
The casualties began to mount up on both sides.
I pursed to check some rules as the game went on a few times.
All important dice rolls. Saves, shooting, attacks and other things. The dice were fickle for both me and Sakura. Below average most of the game, with critical roles going against us both. After 5 turns I managed to win 4 kill points to 3 kill points. So it was very very close.
I am sorry that I bored you Kal! I will make it up to you next time I am down. I will think of something fun for us to do!
