Hey, I'm wanting to get as many test games in with the Semifinals scenarios before leaving this Friday for New York. Anyone available on Tues, Wed or Thurs? Available Tues during the day, Wed all day and evening I'm probably gonna be testing with Guy, and I'm available all Thurs. I'll likely be down at the store doing some last minute touch ups and spraying stuff down in either case so lemme know.
Thanks

I might be able to free up some time this week.... would have to actually have a hard to beat army though, so that might be problematic for your testing!

The biggest thing is the third mission is going to be random as hell.... You don't get to know what your objective is until turn 3. Which you then roll it randomly on a d6 hehe. And yeah, I'll be there Thursday for sure so can play then. And Shannon, up to you with what you'd wanna test against me.

How about orks?

When are you gonna be there on Wednesday? (I might be able to sneak down during the day)

Sounds good Dany! See you then!
Thanks again for womping on me Shannon, was lots of fun and some good testing with the scenarios. Played two games with Guy earlier tonight on Scenarios 2 and 3 and am starting to feel really comfortable with scenario 2, especially considering we messed up the deployment. >.> (My bad, it's Pitched battle.)

....that's just cruel making an ork player do spearhead when he doesn't have to!!!!!
(at least you weren't dropping templates on my head!)
I barely pulled that one out, and if it would have ended at five you would have won... so I wouldn't say I womped you by any means! even one guy left in the squad can still score on that mission... and with no contesting, you pulled some really smart moves (depleted squads jumping in rhinos to move near the objective for example and letting the other squads take the lead) that made it very difficult to remove your scoring troops... and for a marine style army you have a LOT of troops!
I think your list is going to do really well, and we did take the one mission that was going to be the toughest go against a horde army and put the list to the test... I think it's going to hold up well....
....and if you do draw orks on that one... bait him into charging.... if I would have combo charged multiple units instead of sending that one squad of truck boyz to attack that depleted squad I wouldn't have known what they can do until it was too late (figured a truck mob plus killa kans could handle half a squad... boy was I wrong!) that's what made me pull back and dakka... which is the only reason I pulled it out eventually because of just sheer numbers and volume of fire.... but most orks will just try and outcombat you... which will result in them being dead... and we know what happens to Nids against your list!
So I think you'll do really well against the horde style lists.... even on the mission that favours them....

Personally wanting to test the 2nd and 3rd missions. The first mission is just kill points with the messenger, so isn't one I'm too worried about. And yeah, it was close. Thanks Shannon! I had a lot of fun. Orks are always one of my favorite armies to play against because they're so quirky and fun in general. (And they're not marines.... >.>)
