!FTN small squareWe’ve gotten some games in recently and it was pretty liberating to ‘play what I wanted to.’…
hello everybody i had to play some warhammer you know as sometimes we do around here this past weekend and i played you know we've been kind of chit-chatting around about a multiple multiple baneblade super heavy tank um build for astro militarum and i did i took two oh look at that
multiple baneblade chassis well so i i went i kind of combined all the things that kind of been catching my fancy which by the way is very cool to do sometimes when you could just play with some models that you've been thinking about or built and you know that that in itself has its own reward of course i'm leaning into the fact that i did not win this game
i figured we were headed that way but but it wasn't necessarily the list construction and it was one of those kind of like perfect storms of playing against an opponent who had a list that was just very durable against my list and that led me to you know some interesting situations of okay i i'm playing two storm lords uh three uh hippogriffs uh i've got a bunch of stuff in the storm lords i've got some some catechins in the storm lords i've got some engine seers to back the storm lords up i've got some scions with command squads in the in the in the storm by the way the storm horse holds a lot of troops right uh and i feel you know i've got stuff in there i've got i got one hellhound i've got one sentinel I'm kind of trying to min-max the buffs and stuff like that.

They had no idea what I was playing, and I had no idea what I was playing, and it just happened to work out that way.
I struggled to kill all the vehicles on their side and score very well at the same time anything that i put out he was basically able to counter because i he could kind of i couldn't get through this the vehicles fast enough which is interesting on the guard side with the guard
yeah no i i don't i didn't feel necessarily uh out matched now when i say that i felt like i could still play the game But it was definitely a bit of a...
Turns out he also struggled to kill... my storm lords like at the end of the game i still had a storm lord like but all my dudes were dead
yeah it's we've gone through this quite a bit with guard is like a guard takes one of the biggest hits when it comes to negotiating both cover and the hidden mechanic um a storm was a prime example the best the best case scenario for a storm lord it's hitting on threes we're only once yeah best it could possibly do and i
