Damn good day

  Got a game of Fantasy in today.  This was my first real big encounter with the Vampire Counts since they got their new army book recently.  I thought we were gonna do 2k, but last minute we decided to bump it up 2500.

  For 2k, I was going to run my Carpet Deathfist Slaughtermaster list but we moved the game up to 2500 points I tried just throwin in an additonal 500 points worth of models.  In hindsight might not have been the best idea.  It was a great game though.  It essentially came down to a single 4+ ward save roll.. that I failed.  

  First time I ever played against this opponent and hopefully not the last.  I think I'd like to take another crack at those damn Vampire Counts.

  It actually wasn't that brutal of a game. Mostly I was killing zombies and stuff that would come back.  Top of Turn 1 I flew up and turned his nasty Lvl 4 Vampire into a level 0 caster.  Wasn't able to do the same to his lvl 2.  Once I finally moved into position to throw Purple sun down his flank... I rolled a 2 on the distance killing some skeletons and leaving me close enough to his Mortis Engine so that it could Howl and take out my Slaughtermaster.  Big mistake on my part, I'll know in the future to stay the hell away from them.  My Ironblaster blew its gun off in Turn 1 so it became just a chariot after that... but an effective one.  I think in the end it did more damage then any other of my units, wiping out a Vargheist and a unit of zombie so it was def my MVP.  LVP goes to good ole George the Gorger.  He didn't bother showing up till turn 5 and then rolled snake eyes for his charge move making him completely useless as always.  Guess I'll have to update the George the Gorger page again to reflect his new failure.

  That's not all the awesomeness of today either.  Had my birthday dinner with all my people. Went to this awesome German restaurant.  Good food, reallly good beer, and no one mentioned the war.

  Got some new Warhammer goodies too.  

  I'm both looking forward to and dreading assembling and painting the Storm Talon.  I just hope I don't make mine look like shit.  

  And to wrap up this post, I wanted to throw up some pictures of my scout snipers.  They're mostly done, some cleanup here and there , throw on a couple heads, and I am still working on an exploding arrow looking thing to designate who has the Missile launcher in the group.
