Warpcon 2012 Game 3 - Black Templars

You've asked so you shall receive, TKE. This is going to be short and sweet. I was paired off with Alec's Black Templars in a Kill Point/Draw Mission Dawn of War scenario. I won the roll-off to go first and, unlike the previous game, picked the wrong side. There was a lovely LOS-blocking piece of terrain in one corner and I gave it to Alec figuring that I wouldn't be able to fit enough stuff behind it to make it work for me.

It didn't turn out like that as Alec could comfortably pack 7 Land Speeders, 2 Rhinos and 2 Terminator squads behind the wall for most of the game and pick off targets as they came at him piecemeal. Or when I presented them on a plate. That was a game to forget for me but they're usually the ones when you learn more than you would from any other games.

Tourney Report: Warpcon Game 2

Ya, Baby seal clubbing.

Having overcome the Orks in Round 1 I was pitched up against Hugh and his Black Templars in a Kill Point/Dawn of War mission. After their FAQ update I was expecting something along the lines of a Terminator & Blessed Hull Land Raider-heavy list or something that had lots of Machine Spirits: Vindicators that can move 12" and still shoot as well as ignoring Shaken & Stunned is a big funny F-U to Blood Angels players.

Anyway, the list I faced was nothing like that at all. The army had the Accept Any Challenge No Matter The Odds vow but apart from that would be something I'd consider unconventional myself.
