My lunch was eaten. Some of it was a couple of minor mistakes I made but much of it was luck. Seriously, when the Sternguard squad wounded the Avatar (who had two wounds remaining) 11 times and he saved against all of them, that sucked. When I deep struck the other Drednaught in a drop pod, it would be land just fine as long as I didn't deviate more than 9 inches within a 30 degree arc in a certain direction. Of course, I deviated 10 inches in that very direction. On the other hand, the table was so small that all three objectives were in the middle of the board in a straight line because that was the only place there was enough room. So I don't feel too bad about the loss.On the other hand, my birthday just passed. I had a party and friends brought me presents and among those presents were:
Now, I have a bunch of bikes I haven't painted yet so that bike is nice and all, but I don't have a Thunderfire cannon and had no intention of getting one so this gift is very cool. I also got a gift certificate for a local game store so I'm thinking that I may pick up a Planetstrike Bastion since I've wanted one, but didn't really have the money for it. Either way, I have new stuff to work on! And I've already opened the Thunderfire so I think I'll work on that for the next few days. As the proverb goes, "w00t".
I also played a couple games of Space Hulk today. It's been years since I played and this was a cool flashback. I played the same scenario with two other friends. I split Marines both times and they switched off playing Genestealers. The first time the Marines won. The second time they lost. Both times it was fun (though luck was very, VERY not on my side the second time). I highly recommend it and I will play again.
