The big game cometh

Well the 2.5k tourney is next weekend and I believe that this will be some of my last competitive 40k for a while. With the release of the new codexes and some real life changes coming (for the better) I think I will graciously bow out of the tourney scene for a while.
I'm still going to run the local 2k games but I will pick and choose my games based more on fun factor than fighting for a coveted first place prize.

So one more game, one more chance for glory.
Here's the list

HQ The duke
HQ 2x haemonculus with venom blades and liquifier guns (goes with the wych squads)

Elite 3x 4 trueborn with blasters in venom with 2x splinter cannons

Troops 3x 10 warriors with blaster in raider with flickerfields
Troop 9xwarriors with blaster in raider with flickerfield (the Duke squad)
Troop 2x 9 wyches with 1 shardnet in raider with flickerfields and disintigrator

Fast 2x6 Reavers with 2 heatlances

Heavy Ravager with flickerfield
Heavy 2x raver with flickerfield and 3 disintigrators

2497 points
12 vehicles
26 kill points (god I hope there is no killpoint scenario)

Like I said I will go and try and have fun, but alas I believe I have burnt the candle at both ends of 40k gaming for too long and it is time for retirement. Maybe I'll focus on the hobby side of things for a while. I still love the world of 40k and I want to branch out in other ways. Play some battlefleet gothic, play some necromunda, maybe even do a dark heresy campaign.

I will continue the posts here and at the paintin table but it will branch out a bit and like allot of sports icons, Ill stay retired, unless the money is right...

Oh and Capinzak if you read this YES is the answer to the question you have in you head right now, yes, yes and even a kinda.

  2. Bah, you'll be back for more punishment!

    But seriously, sometimes you have to step back and enjoy other aspects of the game. As competitive as I play, I don't get many games in these days to avoid the melancholy of the meta-game. Focusing mainly on the hobby side is how I stay sane.

  3. Looking forward to those changes ;)

    Taking a step back can be good a good thing sometimes, but I agree with Zak, you will return!
