I bought some guildball stuff see all you losers in hell!!

But in warmen news I played a game against the local organizer/press ganger guy and it did not go well. He was running stryker 2 with 2 units of storm lances, laddermore, 2 heavies, and some stuff against my malakov 2 list. He went first and ran up the board and basically had me zoned out of everything so I went gently caress it, advanced Malakov, Feated, and ran my heavies up in response. On his turn he did all his charges and the like and not much died because of my rad as hell feat! I took some damage on torch, lost 2 WGRC, and took some damage on fenris and the Drakhun. On my turn I had a line onto Stryker with Beast09 and charged him, missing on the charge attack (needed a 10, rolled 4 dice, got a 7. Fuuuuck)

Basically from there it all went downhill and a lot of my guys got poo poo on/died. On the last turn I have another line to Stryker and decent odds of winning. I throw fighting dirty on my Drakhun (who is sadly unmounted), toss up a veil of mists, and he charges. needs an 8 to hit, and I roll a 5. Fuuuuuuuck. My remaining eliminator charges in, hits on the first attack, does a bit of damage, side steps to the back arc, and misses because fuuuuuuuuck. So she's now stuck in melee with stryker and costs me the game. My WGRC move up and toss shots at stryker, killing my drakhun and then missing every shot, since I can't CRA into melee, and they need 12's to hit.

Anyways my dice are my enemy.

Which guild?

Probably going to take the plunge into X-Wing or Guild Ball because I'm not really sure where to go faction-wise with WMH - I'm probably quitting Circle but not sure what to replace it with or how much to focus on Ret since I still like Fury a lot more than Focus, and waiting out the first errata before I decide.

I went to a store across town and traded in a big 'ol stack of old rear end magic cards for $430 bux of store credit (which is hella rad, since the vast majority of my magic cards came from drafts/christmas stockings from many years ago). I bought the Masons starter for myself since I think they are the best looking, was almost gonna get Hunters. I also picked up Marbles, Chisel, and Flint so I have a full team of men+ladies. I also grabbed up the union, brewer, and fishermen starters to give to siblings so they will play too!

I didn't grab the rulebook since it's all online, but considering my intense hate for PDFs I might go back and grab it.

The local press-ganger analogue for guildball helped me get poo poo picked out so that helped! I'mma go play against him on Thursday to learn the ropes.

Also with my store credit I grabbed an extreme titan gladiator for my brother for 46 canadian bux, and some man o war shocktroopers for 33. I'm a little upset upon opening the troopers to learn there are only 3 in the box, (which would explain why they were on sale), but if I find another box of 3 that'd give me 2 more and a model to use as a Kovnik, I guess!

And I have $77 left over. Thanks horseshit magic card market!

Guildball is cheaper, I think, and I don't see any trap models or horseshit like having to purchase one model to get cards for another, so it has an advantage there. X-Wing is a wildly different game from other tabletop stuff, though, and it's really fun to play! (Unless you're an idiot, like me, and constantly ram your ships into each other, which is Not Good.) I've personally set my x-wing stuff aside for a while and will look into it more once there is a better solution for obtaining the cards.

Yeah, I would go X-Wing, but the expansion model is lovely and annoying.
And there's that one local player who's just the walking embodiment of a negative play experience. And he's seriously always there and playing (or at least giving "advice"). I actually thought he was just a really lazy employee for a while but no, he just spends all his free time playing X-Wing.

Anyway, Guild Ball looks cool but very obviously influenced by WMH. I'll need to see how much it differs in actual play before I really buy in.
Probably going to go Alchemists and/or Fishermen if I do. Fishermen should suit me best, but Alchemists sound fun as well.

My biggest gaming regret is not taking advantage of the ridiculousness of MTG prices when I was still playing or at least kinda following the game. Like, there's this Tarmogoyf card, which when it first came out went for 5-10 bucks, and I bought a playset because I thought it was pretty severely underrated at the time. I sold those cards a few years later for €100. Now you get at least that much for just one instead of a full four apparently, and I just wish I'd bought a lot more of those things that one time I realized a card was undervalued.

It's okay, buddy. Back when I was playing some dude tricked me into trading away my pair of Dark Confidants for some shiny looking trash. I had no idea a card from a set that was 5ish years old at the time was worth 50ish bux. Whoops!

The magic giveth and it taketh away.

Picked up the old mk2 Khador battlebox super cheap this weekend. Any advice how to expand it? I know nothing about Khador other than I played against Karchev and 7 Beserkers last night and holy poo poo is Behemoth terrifying.

Saying that Elara2 won with a janky apparition-boundless charge- teleport onto the enemy flag to win 5-0.

Someone please sell me Elara2. I will do sex stuff.

Focus owns now and is (imo) more fun than Fury these days because Power Up consistently feels like you're getting to cheat and it's super fun.

Read the drat instructions on your glue, goons. I've never bought super glue that didn't say to refridgerate.

Also if you're really terrified of it exploding (it won't, it stays liquid in the fridge) put it in an old pill bottle or something.

I do enjoy conquest with FFE but Crit dev makes it a little dicier to use in proximity to my own dudes. I dig the kayazy + blast templates thing just because of how that interacts. I'll have to give it a go.
