WAAGH! Drillteef

On January 18th, I will be running a tournament hosted at Grimfoe Games in East Greenbush, New York.  It is a Bay Area Open style tournament at 1750 points.  It would be wonderful if folks nearby can make it. We have twenty slots.   Please check out the Player Packet to find out all of the details. At any rate, James from the shop and I played a timed 1750 point game using the terrain setup I'm considering and the tourney rules. My list was: 1750 Pts - Codex: Space Marines Roster - Drop it Like it's Lukewarm 1 Cpt. Taigana (Marneus Calgar) , 275 pts (Warlord)     1 Gauntlets of Ultramar 8 Assault Squad , 178 pts (Remove Jump Packs; Flamer x2)     1 Sgt. Taia (Bolt Pistol; Remove Jump Packs; Power Axe x1)     1 Drop Pod (Drop Pod Assault) 9 Tactical Squad 01 VI , 225 pts (Meltagun)     1 Sgt. Kauminiko (Power Fist)     1 Drop Pod (Deathwind Missile Launcher; Drop Pod Assault) 9 Tactical Squad 01 III , 210 pts (Meltagun)     1 Sgt. Chane (Combi-Melta

At any rate, one of the players dropped after turn two, so we decided, what the hell... we'll play a 2 vs 1 game on the winter board using four 1850 lists... Eldar and Space Marines vs the forces of Chaos! On an icy wasteland, the forces of chaos advance on the Eldar position. Their goal... to take the symbol of Imperial might on the shore of the frozen lake. The statue is serving as The Relic and an objective.   The Star Eagles arrive on pillars of flame! Hopefully, they don't melt through the ice! The marines m
