So i went into games workshop the other day to participate in tank shock. It was an apocalypse game of 40k where only tanks and tank sized creatures are allowed (Though, apparantly so were dreadnoughts). I brought in my new Carnifex, which i named Hannibal, and tag teamed with this kid who also had a carnifex.

I hadn't used Hannibal before (I'd just finished painting him a few nights before tank shock) but i thought he'd do alright, seeings as i designed him for a Panzerschreck role. Well, i was right. In my first turn, i assault and destroy a Stormlord super heavy tank. It didn't explode (Thank fuck!), but it cleared a big open path for me and the other carnifex to pick our targets. I followed up by doing no less than 11 penetrating hits on a space marine predator.

By the end of the game i had taken no wounds, as my Carnifex proved impossible to shoot. And when he took a hit, either his high toughness, or awesome armour save stopped any damage from occuring.

Now i thought i could only take one model or whatever. But some guy had about 7 tanks, and three dreadnoughts, and did his best to dominate his sides turns. Now this wasn't really a problem and didn't make the game any less fun. However, this guy was being a complete dick in general. He was pushing kids out of the way, challenging the co-ordinator when he tried to explain a rule to a newer player, and the worst of it, was trying to over rule the co-ordinator when he let the younger players re-roll dice, or letting them survive certain gun blasts. What a dick.

Afterwards i played a 1000pt game against this guys son. He used Orks against my hastily drawn list (I left most of my army at home, and didn't prepare a list. I only really put other models in the case so Hannibal wouldn't be lonely). I was 2 points over 1000, so i asked the guy if he would mind, and he said he didn't care so we got started.

He trounced me, completely. I wasn't prepared to face an Ork horde (I left my best Ork Killin' units at home) so when my force, except my lictor and genestealers who never made it onto the board, was wiped off the table by the end of turn four i wasn't surprised. Good game, shook hands and that was that. Until i got home after wrestling at wallsend.

I checked up on his army list, because i wanted to know how he could fit so much into his force. I grabbed Julia's Ork codex, and i wont go into details but without wargear and vehicle upgrades his army was 1240points. After wargear and upgrades it was more like 16-1700. No wonder i got mauled so bad. I'll be more careful when i get my rematch thursday.

Oh yeah, and wrestling. I dunno if i said before but i am the AWF young lions champion. Been defending my title since early march. Good fun, hoorah. I start MMA soon, to fight for a living one day soon i hope, which is my life long dream.

Long journal, fuck aye. Anyways before i go, anyone who has my number on here, i got a new phone recently. So text me, and make sure i know who it is!!!

Cya.
