Epic Codex Toledo Weekend Commence!

So it is Friday morning at 3 am, and I would like to announce the start of the Epic Codex Toledo weekend.  What better of an awesome weekend to do it on, with 70+ degree weather and sunny on the north coast.... in March.  That NEVER happens.

Looks like the stars have aligned for this awesome event.

New Citadel paints? There is even one called "WHITE SCAR!"

I personally cannot stand painting, however this new set is pretty cool.  The current paint range is doubling in size and becoming easier to use with more tools to employ.  This might actually make it easier for all of us to paint!   look forward to hearing what all of you think about this. 

List Feedback for David

Hi Brandon,

Roger that. I've actually produced a 4th Version that takes the non-HTH aspect to an extreme, dropping the PFs from the squads and going for PWs instead, relying on the 2 MGs and MM per squad to take out any vehs.  But it certainly fits with my aspiration to concentrate on only bikes and landspeeders, with no foot or even jump-pack troops, drop pods or any other vehicles - just too slow IMO!

Here you go.  A bit different from the norm, I admit, but it achieves my aim – even though I’m sure it has inherent flaws, possibly significant at that. The minimum-sized bike squad is my last-ditch reserve, hence the combination of melta and flamers . . . . .

Eric's SVDM Report -- Day 2

Posted on behalf of Eric.

Day one can be found here. 

So after a fun night of hanging out and relaxing it was on to day two of the SVDM.  The First day can be found here.

Game Four: I began the second day on table one against Mike. He is a Showcase local studying math at Temple University, and he was rocking a dual lash CSM list that had him second in the standings with 54 of 60 possible battlepoints. Mission was Capture and Control with VPs as the tiebreaker; secondary and tertiary was to get an HQ and a troop into the opponents deployment zone at the end of the game. Deployment was pitched battle. He took the following list:

Iron Sky

 

This is quite possibly the most interesting and awesome movie ever.  I sure hope they bring this to the United States as I would see this multiple times! 

The official site is located here.  Make sure you demand it comes to the states! 

I hope you all enjoy this much as I do.  

Eric's SVDM Report -- Day 1

Posting this on behalf of Eric since he is out of town this week.

Howdy! 

This past weekend, Dameon, Andrew Gonyo and I attended the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre at Showcase Comics in Media, PA. SVDM is a 38 person GT run by Mike Clark, who has a fabulous store in Granite Run Mall; he has 19 gaming tables set up in the store at all times. Terrain was fabulous, with lots of the Gale Force 9 “Battlefield in a Box” ruins and plenty of area terrain. My only gripe on the terrain side was there was not enough LOS blocking pieces, though I might be spoiled by the NOVA hills.

The 2012 Tournament Season is HERE!

It has been a good relaxing these past few months... but no more. 

TOURNAMENT SEASON IS UPON US! 

At White Scars blog, besides focusing on our favorite space marine chapter and their specific play style, a few of us love attending tournaments for all of the excitement, competition, and glory.

Over the past few weekends, Eric and Dameon have been rocking it out on the East Coast winning several events.  Neil has been trying his hand at using bikes over in the UK and Scotland. Jon is still recovering from breaking his foot off in someones ass for being cheesy.  I just participated in two Adepticon Primer events this past weekend placing in both.
