Greetings!
I have been caught up with work and miscellaneous other projects, so I have
been quite unproductive hobby vice lately. Feeling my motivation is about to
return, I started working on a small project, refitting a unit of Warriors and
a Winged Hive Tyrant with Devourers.
Funny how
“small projects” turn out to be something quite different; I had to tear of the
wings in order to fit new arms, this being the old metal model with lots of pinning,
green stuff etc. – well, I finally finished the monstrosity.
Since this
summer I have played my Tyranid army. Although they are not as competitive as
they where in 5th edition, I still have fun playing them, much more
then when I read the new Codex when it first came out, I must admit I got caught up
in all the rant…
Anyway,
focusing on “fun gaming”, I played a great game against a veteran Necron player
a couple of weeks ago. I presented two armies my opponent could choose from,
and I was really happy when he choose to go against a horde swarm.
The
opposing forces
Hive Fleet
Behemoth advances on the Necron line
First
contact
Metal and Chitin
almost annihilated each other
This was a particularly bloody battle. Almost no models left on either side. Very fun. When we left the gaming table we thought the Necrons had won, but during a drink after the game we had forgotten First Blood and Linebraker, securing a Tyranid victory by one small point. Honestly, it could have gone either way, a game to remember!
Cheers,
