Games of newness

So yeah, I should prolly give my take on the games Skell and I played, but I've been slack. First up, we got plenty of rules wrong, which is to be expected in our first games. After every game, we look at more rules and pick more up.

The games were a bit weird. I think we both had a couple of issues with trying to play a GW style movement then shooting then combat style at times.

I felt I was doing better in a general combat sense in the games, but couldn't touch gAspy himself, which caused me to lose both games. Thinking back on it, with gAspy's better mobility, I'm going to need to win that battle of attrition first whilst protecting my caster.

I also had another game the following day against Daniel Mitchell's Khador. I switched things around a bit this time, and went for a more ranged heavy force with a Reckoner and a Vanquisher. Dan was playig a Butcher list with some Doomreavers, Widowmakers, Man o War Shocktroopers, a Juggy and a Destroyer. Again, the general game seemed to be going in my favour, but I seemingly through the kitchen sink at the butcher and he came through still alive (on 2 wounds). I think this really was a matter of bad luck - with even average dice he'd have been very dead.
