Battle Reporter Reporting from the Front Line of the Table Top

Nothing gets me in that Chistmas Mood…

...like having someone break into my house earlier today.

I was having a great day up until the Sheriff calls me to let me know.  All-in-all, my wife and I are fine (which is great), but my laptop and game console are AWOL.  If it wasn't for my horrible job with wires behind the TV, that would probably be gone with other assorted AV crap that was too tangled up to get out (they tried though).

The thing that just bugs me though...  I had just traded my IG for CSM; and while nearly everything is still there, they took 2 CSM models form my work area;  Ignore the big metal ones and the box box of them, just take the 2 that I had just assembled. It just adds insult to injury.

Still, it could have been worse.  Neither my wife nor I were home, and all 3 cats stayed inside and just hid. I lost stuff, but nothing irreplaceable.

So, I probably won't be updating much for a little while (not that I'm a frequent updater anyways)...  However, I did work up a quick change to my CSM list for the upcoming FLGS leage.  More fluffy this time, but I think I have an uphill battle in terms of competitiveness:

HQ: Abaddon the Despoiler (275 pts)
Elite: Terminators (190 pts): 4 Terminators (Combi-melta x2; Combi-plasma x2) & 1 Terminator Champion
Elite: Chosen (165 pts): 5 Chosen (Chaos Glory, Meltagun x2) & Rhino (Combi-melta)
Troops: Chaos Space Marines (245 pts): 9 Chaos Space Marines(Chaos Glory, Meltagun x2), 1 Aspiring Champion, & Rhino (Havoc Launcher)
Troops: Thousand Sons (259 pts): 8 Thousand Sons (Icon) & 1 Aspiring Sorcerer (Doombolt)
Troops: Khorne Berzerkers (263 pts): 7 Khorne Berzerkers (Icon) , 1 Skull Champion (Power Weapon), &  Rhino (Combi-melta)
Troops: Plague Marines (296 pts): 6 Plague Marines (Icon, Plasmagun x2), 1 Plague Champion (Combi-plasma), & Rhino (Havoc Launcher)
Troops: Noise Marines (155 pts): 6 Noise Marines (Icon, Sonic Blaster x6)
Heavy Support: Obliterators (150 pts): 2 Obliterators

Skipping the obvious: I know Abaddon is a big points since and Daemon Princes are most cost-efficient, but I want to runt he big guy for the fun of it.  The Terminators will be painted each one as a different Chaos God markings (the Champion will be undivided representing Abaddons personal guard).  I also have lots of Icons in their to help with Deep striking.

Should be fun to play, and that's what I want out of the league.

About Rob

Just a Wargammer in general. Mostly skirmish-level, and not big on historicals (although I do like some Flames of War now and then). I play Daemonhunters/Imperial Guard in 40k and Daemons in WFB. Outside of wargames, my wife and I enjoy all sorts of boardgames from Alhambra to Zombies!!!

  1. Sorry to hear. I hate thieves and have no tolerance for them.

  2. That sucks, must be kids, what models did they get?

    Santa Cruz Warhammer

  3. The took off with a plain old CSM trooper and a half-painted Chaos Lord. No biggies (they left the Obliterators that were also on the desk). It sucks, but at least we only lost stuff and nothing worse.

    I’m definitely looking into a home security system now. I don’t want to deal with this again (although homeowners insurance has been nicer so far than auto insurance has ever been).
