New Site

 Hey anyone reading this - new site for my 40k tournament reports typically with CSM lists. My old site with previous battle reports can be found at : https://euhan1.wixsite.com/threetwo which features GT wins, some great runs at LGT and plenty of losses against David Gaylard.

Best in Faction (Chaos) with Pactbound Zealots at Beachhead Brawl (201 player Super Major)

Image
 Beachhead has been one of my favourite tournaments for awhile now, I think its now the one I've been to most (4th time.) Partly its because its a nice venue which isn't tooo far with a lot on, partly its because the other events means I go down there with one of my brothers now who does blood bowl. My other brother was planning on coming but a second child being born the Monday before the event meant he felt he couldn't attend, which feels like prioritising the wrong thing. Normally I try and avoid game one pictures for the banner picture, but if this is a scene your familiar with then I envy your life. As I hinted last week I took CSM. Partly, mostly because I love Chaos (new years resolution play less Chaos going super well) but also with 6 games over 2 days I wanted an army that was easier a few big models or one I was super familiar with. As I didn't feel comfortable with Daemons, CSM it was. Having experimented with all the detachments baring Cult I'd come bac...

15 Deathshroud strong DG go 4-1 at Winter ITT (696 player team tournament) as Mortarion fights himself...twice.

So my new years resolution was to try and use less Chaos armies at events and try and use some of the others I have. Apparently GW decided to go all Slaanesh and tempt me immediately with new TS, DG and EC codex's. So ok, less CSM this year which I managed at my first tournament which is totally because of the resolution and not because we also had a very good CSM main on the team and I had other options. Also don't come back to this blog in a week and see which army I chose for Beachhead with that resolution in mind, less CSM doesn't mean no CSM after on.  Word Eaters finest charge into Death Guards as they try to hold the line. So with CSM out the picture fell back on Death Guard. Had been running them as my second faction anyway with some success and having a combat focused army went well with our team - Byron on Daemons and Denis on Necrons will be familiar name/faction pairings to regular readers of the blog whilst Hristo joined with Nids and pairings expertise and Sam...

18 Deathshroud Death Guard podium at the Ragnarok GT

Death Guard are one of those armies that I don’t feel get enough credit for their form of tactical play. When people tend to talk about high-skill armies, they tend to mention fast, glass-cannon-type forces that focus on hiding and alpha-striking key targets. There’s nothing wrong with that approach in the slightest, but it feels like the play pattern is pretty much always the same to a large extent. If you make a mistake, you might lose a unit for sure, but you’re normally fast enough and have enough damage to recover anyway. In comparison, a mistake in deployment with Death Guard can be game-losing, as that unit might never be in a position to impact the game. The result is that you constantly have to think about the game far more in advance, weighing up the risk and reward of taking a direct route versus hiding as opposed to going a rather linear route of hiding and staying “inch from the wall” on repeat. Most of the time, when I played Death Guard, I informed my opponent that my un...
