Misunderstanding or just someone getting pissy

I recently put up a post about bartertown and received a rather heated comment about the need to support the local gaming store.  

I don't think that anyone will argue with liking to save money.  I purchased a Legion army from bartertown for my girlfriend to try out, and a couple of buddies have purchased armies from bartertown.  

That being said I am one of the biggest supporters of the the FLGS.  Every one of my over 1100 points of cryx, along with paint, and army transport have been purchased from Paul.  He is always available for ideas and is great at giving us the space to play.  We have already purchased the primal book and additional models for Legion from his store.

My reasoning for sharing the bartertown sight is for those that might want to try the hobby but may not have the money to spend on a new army.  

So if there was some misunderstanding my apologies, but no need to get all upset like the world is coming to an end.  Cheer up, drink a beer, and go buy some new models.  That always makes me feel better.

Sweet Victory! Round 2 Goes to Cryx

Just a quick update before calling it a night.  It was round 2 of the tournament tonight and I faced David who was fielding Legion against my Cryxian army.  We ended up playing the Killing Field scenario.  I won the roll and decided to go first.  We couldn't score points the first round, but at the end of round 2 the score was Cryx 3 Legion 2.  At the end of round 3 for me I had 5 points, and it looked like at best he was only going to be able to pick up one more.  He decided to try for the caster kill on Denny, he moved the Seraph up after using Lilith's feat and attacked Denny.  He boosted and needed an 11 to hit and rolled 10.  That ended his round, so at the end of round 3 it was Cryx 5 Legion 3.  I had one point already tied up with my Soulhunters, one point had so many models on it that I wasn't sure I could remove him, and then he had one with a harrier.  I moved Denny up and popped her feat.  I then cast crippling grasp on the harrier and after using venom from Denny and then again through the Skarlock the harrier was dead.  I moved  my Mechanithralls into place and it was game over.

So for my first tournament I am 2-0 so far, but I have a feeling that I going to meet some very stiff competition next week.

Fall to one of Turok's Bastard Children

Just a short battle report. I played against Legion and although it was a close game I couldn't pull out the win. I have only played a couple of times against Hordes and they still throw me for a loop.

This is what I fielded.

eDeneghra (Which I didn't know how to play)
Slayer
Cankerworm
Deathripper (2)
Nightwretch
Soulhunters (3)
Darragh Wrathe
Mechanithralls (6)
Bile Thralls (9)
Gorman di Wulfe
Pistol Wraith (2)

I think that it is. The cankerworm was destroyed pretty quickly. The bile thralls and soul hunters did a great job of reducing his units to squishy mush. Those damn beasts though, it just seemed that I couldn't bring enough hitting power. I was facing a bunch of shredders, a carnivean, 2 seraphs, a shepard, and a couple of units one with bows. It was a good, close game, but not quite enough.

In a more positive note, John was able to defeat the Pink Khadorian Army of Doom that defeated me last week. I was not able to catch most of the game, but it looks like John had a list that was designed to take down all of those jacks, so congratulations to John for that well deserved victory.
