TOURNAMENT: Manila Team Championship Results

I'd like to drink beer in these cups

Well after much hawing and losing sleep over it, I managed to think of a list to use for the MTC and brought along the following Blood Angel army from a hodge-podge of units that I surprisingly still had and was stuck in storage.. Really need to finish all of them :P...

MANILA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - Crap what flavor of SM to use?

Barely a week to go for the Manila Team Championships and I still do not have a list ready to use by then.. Arrggh,,,

Hindered by my lack of list building I decided to try to do this in reverse. I would get all of the models that I have had assembled, display them and then think if I can get to use them ...

the more or less assembled stuff

TOURNAMENT : MANILA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS -- me Captain?

Well this has come as a surprise.. well not really more of like I think I forgot about the event because of work :P. Following the theme for ETC and as to cram as much tournaments as we can before the BUNKER closes we have that scheduled this coming October 22, 2011.

There would be 4 players per team and we have to use different codexes. That got me off the loop as I had been playing nothing but orks for the past 2 years. That means I have to dust off my SM and start creating a 1750 list , assemble whatever models I still need to get it done, and NOT be able to play test it before the game tournament start.

Thoughts on Orks from the BOLs Comment section

 GROGDATYRANT over at Bols had a great comment regarding Orks in an article regarding how to fight GK using Orks (which is like having yet another hidden GK article)

His other discussions can be found here.. http://disqus.com/GrogDaTyrant/

But I would just like to follow on his summary of Orks and I think it hits the nail on the head with this one.

The Bols article and comments can be found here

"This is being generous an giving you the maximum shots with a 28 point bonus. So no, I will continue to laugh at Ork shooting, no offense.:)"
...in the most optimal circumstance possible for yourself.  No offense intended, as in a vacuum DA's are certainly 'superior' (in theory, like communism).  But Orks are not an army that performs well on a 'unit vs unit' basis.  In fact, they don't perform at all on such a comparison.

GENERAL : Bunker Closing: Tournament in the works

Well after three years.. the Bunker.. that place of gaming haven in E. Rod at Quezon City is finally closing because the building is being demolished. That place had been my gaming haven for the past few months .. even though it's far from where I live it was at least near where I work and I got my gaming fix during the weekday/nights.

The Bunker is not going out without a bang though. There would be a couple of tournaments scheduled until the end of the year. Currently they have a special 1111 point tournament in the works which I hopefully should be able to compete in..

That place had been a fun location for some geeky fun.. I wonder where Lito is going to be able to setup a new site..

PAINTING: Ork Shoota Boyz done.

Well finally.. I actually managed to paint something today.. yehey.. Managed to finish another batch of orc shoota boyz with the minimum in standards just to get it over with .. So that's 10 down.. about 50 more orks to go ^_^
