Weekend at Burnies V - The Scourged

Weekend at Burnie’s has rolled around once more, and I’ll be doing a whistlestop tour of the games I played.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 2: Orks vs Imperial Fists

Pootle here with the write-up of my final game at this year's Weekend at Burnies against Vertica40k (who I played a 2k game against not so very long ago). At one level it was a shame not to play against one of the other amazing armies on display who I'd not faced before, but after four games my brain was a little frazzled so it was good to play against a familiar army led by a general with exactly the right attitude of wanting a relaxed game to end the weekend on.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 2: Orks vs Black Templars

Pootle here again! With batteries recharged, my first game on the second day of Weekend at Burnies was against Warsmith Chris, who stepped into a gap left by someone who didn't make it back in time. I've not played against Black Templars before, but once again it's great to have a narrative-friendly match-up for the Orks.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 1: Orks vs Dark Angels

Pootle again, writing up the third game of day 1 at this year's Weekend at Burnies, which was against Simon's Dark Angels. My brain was somewhat frazzled by this point, but at least I'd already got some practice in against a Land Raider Redeemer stuffed full of Aggressors earlier in the day

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 1: Orks vs Leagues of Votann

Pootle here, reporting in on my second game at this year's Weekend at Burnie against Primaris_Dave's gorgeously painted Leagues of Votann (so gorgeous that he won the "best painted army" prize for them). I've never faced Votann before but am aware of how dangerous their judgement can be.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 1: Orks vs Crimson Fists

Pootle here, reporting on my third Weekend at Burnies event, which was just as much fun as the previous editions and kicked off with an awesome game againt CrashOverride's Crimson Fists.

Weekend at Burnie’s 4 - Day 2: Black Legion vs Death Guard

Ghock Hackfiend stormed into Gormenghastly's quarters, "Why do you delay? There is blood to be spilt in Khorne's name and I refuse to wait for you to conjour up your new diseases!"

Gormenghastly the Garrotter shook his head pityingly, "I will kill more with my perfected toxins than you can ever dream of. You may have slaughtered thousands in Khorne's name, but millions have died choking on their own vomit and gasping for one last breath due to my concoctions in Nurgle's honour.

"In fact, my intelligence shows an opportunity for both of us to profit. I hear that the famed warband, The End of All Things have come to Hendris. You will enjoy killing the favoured of Nurgle, and I need something special from their leader."

Pootle here with a report of my final battle from this year's Weekend at Burnies, facing the mighty Winters SEO!

Weekend at Burnie’s 4 - Day 2: Black Legion vs Necrons

 

Pootle again with the third of my four battles at Weekend at Burnies. This time my Black Legion faced Crashoverride's Necrons.

Weekend at Burnie’s 4 - Day 1: Black Legion vs Tyranids

 

Pootle here again with a write-up of my second battle at Weekend at Burnie's against WrathofConstantine's gorgeous metallic Nids.

Weekend at Burnie’s 4 - Day 1: Black Legion vs White Scars

Pootle here! Last year I beat Stylus in getting my batreps for Weekend at Burnies written up, but he's much quicker out of the blocks this year so I'm playing catch-up.

Unstoppable force versus immovable object 

Weekend at Burnie's 4 - Day 2 - Creations of Bile vs Tyranids and Imperial Fists

Day 2 of Weekend at Burnie's 4 - can the Creations of Bile continue their winning streak?

In Bristol, no-one can hear you scream...

Weekend at Burnie's 4 - Day 1 - Creations of Bile vs T'au and AdMech

Has it really been a year since the last Weekend at Burnie's?

It was back. I, Stylus, was there. And naturally, I brought Chaos.

 The second day of Weekend at Burnie's, and it only gets stranger!

Weekend at Burnie's 3 - Round 2 - Chaos Space Marines vs Imperial Guard

 Second game of Weekend at Burnie's 3!

The deeper you go, the darker it gets...

Weekend at Burnie's 3 - Round 1 - Chaos Space Marines vs Craftworld Eldar

Lockdown may have delayed it, but Burnie's still the life of the party!

Weekend at Burnies 3: Ultramarines vs Word Bearers

Pootle here again with a write-up of my fourth and final game at Weekend at Burnies. 

I was only intending to do brief narrative write-ups for my games, but the final match-up was a humdinger against the Word Bearers, and as it was against such a fabled opponent and Weekend at Burnies is all about the narrative, I couldn't resist tying all four games together into one story. Part one (the introductory story and details of my army) is here and part two (summary narrative report of the first three games, and an important introduction to this story) is here.

Weekend at Burnies 3: Ultramarines vs Khorne Daemons, Harlequins and Necrons

Pootle here again with a write-up of my first few games at Weekend at Burnies against Khorne Daemons, Harlequins and Necrons.

Weekend at Burnies 3: Ultramarines - A Gathering Storm

Pootle here, with an intro to my games at Weekend at Burnies. I have to start with a huge thank you to Mr AP Burn for organising the event at the Factorum near Warminster. I had four cracking games against some top opponents and had an amazing weekend of Warhammer!

I took 1,750 points of first-born Ultramarines, following on from the narrative developed by Kraken (links here and here). This is the intro to my army. Battle reports from the first three games against Khorne Daemons, Necrons and Harlequins are here and the (awesome) finale against Word Bearers is  here.

Weekend at Burnie's 2 - Final Thoughts

I've far exceeded the 10,000 word count covering this tournament, so just a quick summary and some final narrative.
