Not slacking its vacation time!

So yeah it’s been a week that I’m in vacation mode. Kind of feels weird because all the days don’t feel right. Like a Saturday feels like a Thursday...

Why? Because Elda can!

I did some painting tough, went on the Team Belgium weekend (boy was that one hell of a tiresome weekend), finished Bioshock 2, I’m halfway Bioshock Infinite, watching Grimm, playing boardgames with friends, went Kitchen & bathroom shopping,…

Me vs 45 Flesh Hounds!

First Battle of 30k!

For the next couple of days I’m off to the Ardennen to stay with my parents (and my lovely wife) at their bungalow. Fun times ahead! Next week I’m in Prague! Hopefully kicking some butt at the European Singles Championship! Wish me luck!

A House!

Well if been slacking a bit... Like a month now. Again! I can blame my work for this now... Since that there was a lot of work! Always the same things right before the company goes on a 3week holiday…. I did got some good news from my boss so... Hooray!!

Like the title says I bought a house! A big living room, kitchen, basement (for when the future kids are bad), a garage, 3 bedrooms, and a bathroom (of course…) and a big attic for me! So that’s a big man cave! We also have a “house” in the garden. We’re going to call it "Naboo". Yes, the force is strong in this one! Went to “Grand Belgian Open 2015” on 20-21 of June. It was a great event! Not much people there only 24, but I got 10^th place! Had some tight battles and some nasty ones also. But all great ones!

Best Chaos Space Marine from 2015!

The next weekend it was Replays own tournament “Battle for Segmentum Pacificus II” went 16^th of the 18^th here… main reason is that on the first battle we were in turn 4 and It would be a win or lose for me. Why did it suddenly turn for me? Wraithguard flamers are nasty as hell!! Especially if you consolidate 1inch previous turn… did took a lot of saves but still D flamers? OUCH! Big loss here….

Famous Round 4

Round 2 I faced the centurion star with Draigo and all the fun stuff, underestimated it a lot! And I want to blame the person who rolled a 3+ for turn 6! I would have lost more that way. Big loss again…

Warp Dust!!

Round 3 I can only blame myself for keeping my Star together and not leaving with one dude. So he got away and sat on the objectives. He had only a quarter of his army left…. Minor Loss here.

My Dark Angels – Space Wolves had enough of stuff to deal with most things. I’m not quitting on it yet. I like the list. It has punch, durability, it only needs to survive until turn 5 to be effective. Which I noticed on the “Grand Belgian Open 2015”. So I should put something extra in my list don’t know what…

Went to AC/DC with my dad. Was pretty awesome to see those guys! Glad I saw them live, totally worth of walking around as a sleepless zombie the next day! Also been helping a mate the last couple of weekends at his house. So not much of painting to show… Been slacking with my Tale of 30K! Hopefully I can fix this in the holiday. But I doubt it, since if been playing Bioshock 2 lately I want to finish it! So curious about Bioshock Infinite! I have a lot of model ideas in my head but with the house on the horizon everything is on pause. Got a painted tournament army which I like so I’m safe with that.

This weekend from 18^th -21th July it’s the Team Belgium trainingsweekend. Time for some good memories and happy days! And in three weeks European Singles Championships! Got challenged by John from North Ireland for the first battle. Great! 8 Maulerfiends and a bunch of flesh hounds coming my way!!

Look who wants to meet a Power Fist!

Other then that some funnies to end it. (Best you have seen Jurassic World before clicking it!

Battle of the Clubs + Paris + Unbound = Long!

It’s been some time since I posted something. Better change that!

I went to the Netherlands for a tournament called "Battle of the Clubs" (Saturday 9th of May). Last year team Belgium went with 4 full max teams! That meant 20 Belgium over at Tilburg. Sadly this year only 1 team of four and one of 3 made the trip! Still we had a blast!

First battle I faced the mighty new Daemonkin! Damn they can do some nasty stuff. I out played him a bit with my secure objective rhino’s in the last turn. Because things where looking bad... Hooray for basic tactical marine in rhino’s! Won this one! 12-8!

Second battle I faced off a space marine full bike army. So grav and melta guns everywhere! I knew this was going to be a bad game if I didn’t had first turn. And yeah… shit happens I didn’t get first turn so I was expecting a full scout and moved and be shot to pieces… he didn’t do that! He just killed me of slowly until turn 5. I would have done it otherwise and go for crippling me in the first turn. I lost this one with 0-20.

The third battle I went against Dennie, last year we played round two so it was fun to play each other again. I had quite some self-confidence with this battle because I could hit and run out of the combats. He had twice invisibility. So this would be hard! I got a bit cocky when I killed two units daemonettes, one had invisibility up. Should have been more down to earth…

And then suddenly I was taking armor save on my Chaplain... D'oh! Then I hit and run with my thunderstar. BUT I didn't get far enough.... With 4 dice not getting far enough from the enemy is really bad luck. So I was stuck for another combat round. He terrified my thunderwolf Calvary squad from the board. Then I was throwing high numbers with the dice! Bloody dice sometimes… game ended there so yeah… he went on tabling me because in the end he killed my big thunderstar and moved to kill my rhino’s and such. But I did get 4- 16 out of it!

We are also looking at houses and we found one that’s really our thing. So if everything goes well… but then there is the chance we don’t have it. So exciting times ahead! I do look forward to my own room / mancave!

And with all the rumors of a New Space Marines codex. I’m not including them in a new. Since you don’t know what’s going to happen to the codex… so I’m preparing Dark Angels since I have a bunch of bikes laying around. Or I can go Full Space Wolves. Will see on May the 30^th.

The miss and I also went on a weekend Paris for fun. Will we were the youngest couple there… I blamed the 60+ people who love to learn French. It was nonetheless saw some cool buildings, Eifel tower, louvre,… it was fun and all. But next time where not going with a bus that contains 90% old people. No offense to the elder of course!

Then last Saturday 23th of May, there was an unbound in Aalst at the store Heremelijn. First battle was against a normal Eldar list. Sadly the wraithknight stomped twice a 6… so bye bye 800 points… Really! That damn wraithknight threw the game in his favor. I would have killed it next turn and had enough punch to win it! In the end I lost… total wipe out. Damn Eldar … I will dislike them on the table…

Muhaha

Next up Blood Angels (1 scout squad) and a bunch of Tau with preferred enemy… really? Yep! I did seize tough and could kill one riptide. The other one I failed to charge… bleh! That squad failed to charge the same unit twice. It did make some crazy ass saves. In the end he could just shoot everything and bam done.

Last battle I faced Daemons and 2 Imperial Knights! So more stomps coming my way! Battle went both ways so it was out till the last dice roll. Because it littary was. Since they were come to apocalypse he had to roll everytime he came closer than 12inch from each other. So on the beginning of turn 5 his screamer star and last knight were too close to each other. And he had to roll. So he rolled twice a one. Otherwise we could have wiped me because my last two units were sitting on objectives. I was lucky there… so it didn’t feel like a victory at all…
