Well my 6th Edition Rulebook will be here tomorrow and I played in my last games of 5th edition 40k ever again and now what do I do?
I've had the last 5 days to go BAT!@#!@# INSANE!




Eat flag heathens! 



I want so badly to play 40k, but I can't because 6th is going to be out and I'm so done with 5th right now. (I have been painting sisters like a mad-man, I've almost painted 22 now! :D)
And I'm terribly impatient, I can already see tomorrow being very very long.
But In the meantime to stave off my own insanity I will regale you with my LAST GAMES OF 5TH EDITION!
Well first of all let me tell you I played Sisters, for the first time in a long time. 
I put them down and felt confident in them, like they weren't going to crash and burn in the second turn. 
For the tournament the special rules were that Forgeworld kits were legal in your list, but no structure points or buildings or flyers.
Since I was playing Sisters I forwent taking the Repressor...and that's all they have so no Forgeworld for me.

I figured I'd be able launch off all those Hunter Killer Missiles for some kind of devastating alpha-strike. Honestly I never had good opportunities to fire them, since I could only move 6" and shoot them I fired off a few but a lot of my other tanks got pulped too quickly to get their rockets off, but It was the last 5th tourney so I wasn't too keen on "giving a shit."


The first scenario was random night fight each turn on a roll of 5+.
I played against a formidable Grey Knights list including 3 dredds a bunch of Razorspammers and a Grandmaster in a Purifier Squad.
I killed 5 Interceptors...
 THE WHOLE GAME.
 Because I had to fight in night fighting every turn while my opponent did not. So it was obviously one of the silliest games I've played. But I couldn't do much with no shooting.


My 2nd game was against one of the newer players at the store he took Guard with a handful of Chimeroes and a few Leman Rusties and a DEVUL DAWG and a Manticore. The mission was standard NOVA setup but with the central objective was worth 4 objectives. 
I stole the initiatives and started to round the giant Skyshield Landing Pad in the center of the board, every turn blasting or stunning a few enemy vehicles each turn. My deathcult and Jacob held back until my opponent broke for the center objective, then the deathcult made short work of that stormtrooper squad. I won the game 4 Objectives to 2 and 2 -2 on secondary table quarters.
The final game was a "Just Kill Each Other Scenario" primary objective was KP secondary was VP.
 I set up my girls in a standard wide field 2-3-19 formation*. The Opponent's army was...silly.
 No offense but he was another beginner who hadn't had many games not against his close friends so his list was: 
1 Captain, 1 Landraider Helios, 1 Dred, 1 Rhino, 1 Assualt Squad, 2 Tactical squads, and 2 Devastator Squads.
It was weird. My sisters foundered a bit when their vehicles got blowed up turn 1, and the dominoes were stopped cold and forced to huddle in their blown-out immolator for the rest of the game. I also lost one of my Exorcizors to one of those !@$##KED Drop Pods that lets dredds assault out of them. I spent a lot of turns holding back my units waiting for someone to land and tie up his devos so I could cross and cut down the tactical squads with bolters and flamers. It took 4 turns for The Saint to arrive, after that close range fire and DCA finished off a full 4 squads before time was called. I won 12 to 8 KP.


I got 6th in a very large turnout for our store of almost 20 players...
And as a final go of 5th it was basically more of the same...
I hate GKs!
Sisters Rule! (when you roll good, which I didn't)
I hate when it's dark! 


I'm just praying to the Mail Gods that my rulebook will arrive tomorrow or I might gnaw my own leg off in anticipation....


...Actually if I don't get my BRB tomorrow I'll probably pull my Dreamcast outta my car and make a Let's play of one of my favorite games "Typing of the Dead!"





Ray You a busta'!




See you on the other side...for 6th.


*That means 12" from the Table Edge.
