Sluggin it out in the battle bunker, VICTORY

 General Bass and General Oadius traveled to Antioch last weekend, Sunday November 13th, to the Battle Bunker for some 1500pt Tournament action. Local players and participants from the bay area open were there for some fierce competition and a good time was had by all! I played my Dark Eldar Drecht list, General Oadius played a Blood Angels mech list. I will post my list at the end for your viewing pleasure. I ended up in FIRST PLACE when the dust settled after four grueling games. My games went as follows.....

Game ONE vs nurgle CSM, dawn of war annihilation.
Turn one was uneventful with little done by way of shooting on either side. Turn two took the battle to nurgle and the grotesque and wyches went in heavy swinging away slaughtering two full squads of plague marines and a lash sorcerer by the end of three. By the time reinforcements arrived it was all over. Dark Eldar win

Game TWO was against a mech blood angels army (not General Oadius). Pitched battle seize ground. The game was back and forth on both sides for it's entirety and I ended up getting the win by having troops on my objective, and roadblocking my opponent from his objective with the
Voidraven bomber and razorwing fighter on the last turn. Dark Eldar win

Game THREE vs CSM nurgle with two warptime daemon princes. This game took off quick with assault on the First turn. The archon and grotesques slaughtered the two daemon princes and it appeared as though victor was at hand. my dice stopped rolling good tho and nurgle was hot at the death of his two prices, in the end we both killed all our troops. Dark eldar tie.

Game FOUR - the tiebreaker vs necrons and the stormlord. This was the first time I got to play necrons since the new codex came out. The stormlord controlled the first two turns and blew up two of my transports, and the sprees were shittin out tons of scarab bases. Once again the grotesques and the archon went to work killin a ghost ark and the warriors inside. The voidraven blew up another ghost ark, and the destroyers were mowed down by a venom. The game was spearhead annihilation. Dark Eldar eked out a tie on this one.

The 1500pt Drecht list as follows...

Archon Drecht, agonizer, ghostplate armor, combat drugs, phantasm grenade launcher, shadowfield.

Three haemonculus no upgrades.

Three grotesque with a liquifier gun. Abberation with flesh gauntlet, raider with grisly trophies and flickerfield.

Two squads of three wracks, on venoms with dual splinter cannons, grisly trophies.

Two squads of seven wyches, heckatrix with agonizer and phantasm grenade launcher, shardnets, haywire grenades, raider, grisly trophies, flickerfield.

Thanks for tuning in,
General Bass out!

Clash of the Titans, Apocalypse on a massive scale!

Fellow Generals,

A MASSIVE apocalypse game was on the menu Saturday october 29th at the Games Workshop store, oakridge mall, San Jose California. I dusted off my chaos minions and set forth with destruction in mind, I will post the list I played as well. The store had so many people show up to play that they divided us up into two teams, good vs EVIL 12,000 PTS per team. To assist the chaos space marines I brought, I also had necrons, tyranids, and chaos Daemons along for the ride. We played a team of tau, space marines, and tyranids with a tau manta ray and loyalist Titan to help them out. I brought my Titan as well, one of Abbadons personal warhounds, Abbadons Fist! It was an action packed game from the start as tau and space marines had the initiative and went first. When the dust settled from all of the crazy shooting at the top of one, the Titan had lost one void shield and made Saving throws on the turbo laser destructor. Tau stealth teams surrounded chaos on all sides with twelve markerlight drones per team, to little avail. The Vulcan mega Bolter blew off the rail guns from the manta ray and disabled the gun crew leaving no choice but to flee. One team of plague marines in a rhino with Lucius went after one team, while another squad of plague marines with Huron leading them went after another. A nurgle daemon prince also decided to get in the mix. The brass scorpion utterly obliterated a third stealth team decimating them with a brutal round of shooting. The obliterators and land raiders fired all Lascannons at the loyalist Titan removing all void shields and damaging a drive system. Abbadons fist answered with two shots from the turbo laser and took two structure points leaving the loyalist Titan heavily damaged but not out of the fight. The traitor baneblade accounted for massive enemy casualties and utterly destroyed a squad of twenty genestealers and an entire squad of space marines with two mighty shots from it's cannons. The two squads of plague marines cleaned house and wiped out the two stealth teams in a viscious assault. By the end of turn two all loyalist forcEs were wiped out on my side of the board as well as the loyalist Titan. Typhus and his retinue of nurgle terminator champs came in on reserve and destroyed a hammerhead and remained untouched for the rest of the game not taking a single casualty. The rest of the game was mostly uneventful as chaos rolled over the remainder of the loyalist forces leaving piles of bodies and scrap metal. By the time Abbadon deep struck into battle from his command ship there was little left of the tau forces which he and his retinue of terminator champions which utterly destroyed any remnants of the enemy. The loganberry brought their Titan back with the reinforcements rule and Abbadons fist finally fell, but a defiled and the brass scorpion moved in and finished it off once again. Victory chaos! A good time was had by all check out the vid, and I humbly submit my list.

Abbadon the despoiler with ten terminator champs, MoN, five combo meltas five chainfists, one reaper autocannon.

Typhus with ten terminator champs, five combo meltas, five chainfists, reaper autocannon, and of course MoN.

Khan the betrayer, eight plague marines, one champ with powerfist and llama pistol, melta gun plasma gun, in rhino with extra armor and havoc launcher. Fabius bile, Lucius the eternal, and Huron set up the same way with plague marines in rhinos.

Three squads of three obliterators

Two defilers with two Extra cc weapons

Two land raiders with extra armor and combo meltas

Brass scorpion of khorne

Three deamon princes with MoN wings and warptime

General Bass out!

Winning and losing-it's all part of 40k

Chaos666 here to set a few things straight. 40k is a great game, and I ALWAYS have fun playing for a few simple reasons. I'm not a fluff player, I am a realist which is what everyone who plays this game should be. Power armies, GW's new flavor of the month, WHO GIVES A SHIT REALLY! I play badguys cause that's what I like to play, not because they are whatever. I hear people bitch about this n that.
I really think they are bitching because they are bitching because they haven't pulled the maximum potential out of their army! Get real! Why don't you take a close look at that codex you like to play and write the best list you can think of. Isn't that why they give us the damn thing in the first place? Get a pair when you bring that list and face the consequences of your decisions, and please don't whine like a little girl if your pretty little models get their asses handed to them.
I haven't contributed as much as I would like to this blog so I try to keep it as real as possible when I do. Shenanigans, rule benders, shunted and little girls who call themselves men need to play their cute little fluffy lists with their girlfriends and not show up to tourneys at all.
This blog is called shotdownmind for a reason, we are here to show you the error of your ways. If you can't. Accept that then go cry on your pillow cause I dont want to hear it! Brig your bes army, your best list, it doesn't matter because you can't always win.
Like I said before I play for fun, but I never said I would make it easy!
