Recently I had a 40k 2nd edition battle with my good friend Tom.
It was a fantastic affair even though I was beaten again. (Go over the the YouTube page and you can watch the full battle report!) I say again, as the last time Tom and I did battle, we had a little Epic ruck and he also won that with a lucky dice roll that entirely wrecked my Titan.
But this is ancient history. Fast approaching is our third outing. Which will take place at Warhammer World. Tom will again be using his magnificent Eldar. Although he has informed me that he’s adding some serious hurt to his force and in his own words, ‘I’m in for some serious pain’. Hmmmm....not good.
We‘re only going for a max for 2000pts. But it sounds like I need to bolster my own army. This time around I’m going to use my Imperial force rather than Orks. The only reason being that I have spent months on Orks and I need a change of scene. Currently I have around 1700 pts. Or I would have if I’d actually finished painting my units! I’m currently doing squats. These come in at 90pts a five squat squad in 2nd Ed. I have two of these and then another Thunderer Squad which is 130pts Ish (I need to double check that figure).
Turns out I’m also four marines short of a full tactical squad and a single squat and single Imperial Guard trooper short for my other forces.
With this in mind I’ve cleared the painting decks to sort out these stragglers. Then it’ll be back to the squats to finish off.
Last but not least...I need to paint up my Landraider which has been sitting with just a leadbelcher undercoat for several months!
Hopefully, once these units are done. I’ll have a good enough force to take down those pesky xenos! But we shall see!!
