40k Summer League 2010 Kicks off

Guess whose back? Islyfe thats who. It has been a long time since I updated the blog and I felt its about time I get off my ass and I do something about. Timing could not have been more fitting because the summer league has just kicked off for 40k at Brothers Grim (Selden, NY). I will be posting up battle reports of all my games for the next ten weeks and hopefully for the semi-finals and finals. There is about 42+ players in this league which is about how many players we draw normally for are Bi-Monthly tournaments. Yay for the mecca of 40k on Long Island!

My first block is a pretty standard eldar list, three fire dragon squads seems kind of over kill at 1500 pts but the Eldar codex doesn't give me many options, *sad face*. Threw in a Fire Prism to to support my two dakka falcons and so my opponents dont deploy in a cluster fuck. While my second block was made in considration of the horde playering nids and orks, apparently there are quite a number of tyranids this time around compared to last fall with a whooping 2 hive fleets. So I will be gettting back to you guys soon with my first battle report against blood angels.
