Not the best tourney for me

Got it handed to me at the tourney.

I am pretty disappointed in my showing at the local tourney. I know I had the superior army in the 2 games I played and I just really blew it. Both games I advanced when I had superior long range firepower and allowed myself to get wrecked. I don't know what it is, when I dont play for a while I have a tendency to be ultra aggressive for reasons that make no sense. The only thing I can think of is that I get too excited to be playing and then that translates into over confidence which is just stupid. I bowed out of the last game which made me feel ultra lame but the 2 loses and with the tourney going later than expected I had to bail due to time constraints. Also having to face the wrath of my wife and losing another game didnt seem to exciting to me. I am pretty much deciding that I am not going to be doing tourneys anymore unless I can get some serious practice in before. I need to know the missions better and get a better feeling for my army. I know I have played the Sisters a billion times but I need to beat that overconfidence outta my game.

Getting ready for tourney

Getting my last stuff together for the tourney on Saturday. Just cleaning up some minis and painting my last Vet Superior. I am hoping everything comes to together and I get to go but with 3 kids one never knows whats in the cards.

My list:
1 Canoness with Jump Pack/Mantle/Cloak/Eviserator/Bolt Pistol
3 Celestine Squads in Immolators EA/Smoke with 2 Meltas
4 Battle Sisters Squads in Rhinos EA/Smoke 1 melta/1hvy Flamer 1 vet Sup with book
3 Exorcists

1850 exactly

Looking forward to getting in some games but a little concerned that I didn't get a chance to practice the missions like I wanted to. Our little 40k group has scattered to the winds with the recent holiday coming.

Looking forward to Nids

I am getting pretty excited about the new Nids codex and releases. The models look awesome and the new codex sounds like it will be tons of fun. Not looking forward to getting my face kicked in by alien scum but I really like what GW is doing with the new codexs. The new armies all seem to have great character and diversity which is awesome. This with the new IG and SW really makes me hopefully for an awesome Inquisition codex.

Immolator ready to party

Ready to burn the heretic, traitor or xeno scum.

Got one more Vet Superior to do and I am good to go. I should have my final list together tonight.

New Immolator


So now I am once again questioning what to do with my list since my new immolator showed up yesterday. I can now build Rhinos with my eyes closed its coming together very fast.

Now I need to decided what to do about getting another Immolator in the army or should I do the flying nun army. My gut is to go with the Flying Nun since I know the unit well and think that it really plays up to the strengths of the Sisters but I love the idea of 11 tanks on the board.

Sisters tourney list with Flying Nun

I think I am going to have to roll with the Flying Nun HQ list. I was sorta waffling between both list but the fact that the bits for my Immolator havent shown up has made me go with only 3 Immolators.

This is the list that I am looking at having:
Canoness HQ JumpPack, Cloak, Mantle, Eviserator and Inferno Pistol
3 Celestine Squads in Immolators (TLHvyF EA Smoke), 5 Girls with 2 Meltas
4 Battle Sister Squads in Rhinos(Smoke) with Vet Superior and 1 HFLamer 1 Melta
3 Exorcists

The questions I have hanging are if the Inferno Pistol on the HQ is worth it since you have to get so close. Also I wonder if I have enough troop choices to hold down objectives. If budget stops being such an issue I would like to expand into some IG troops so that I can start fielding Chims but I cant do that yet.

Rant at ForgeWorld WW2 rumor

I saw a rumor this weekend that ForgeWorld is thinking of releasing minis for a 20mm WW2 game.

Rant:

This is one of the dumbest things I have heard of GW doing in a long time. The fact that they have resources to pour into something like this just bewilders me.

How hard is it for them to understand that they have a hardcore loyal fanbase out there that is willing to spend money if they just let them. They create so many of their own gates to purchasing new armies all the time and hearing this makes me just think they have lost it.

If I had some say at GW I would for sure be pushing ForgeWorld as hard as possible to make new armies for 40k and fantasy. Can you imagine how many asshats out there(myself included) would love to buy a ForgeWorld IG Tanith army, or Iron Snakes or even Inquistor forces using Eisenhorn and Ravenor as models. There are so many awesome ideas that they could use to fully utilize their own IP that it just boggles the mind that they leave so much money on the table
