Afternoon folks and welcome back to Division 1 - the cream of the crop that Hobby Henchmen has to offer, stallions in their own fields, leaders of men etc etc We have three new players this Season - Alex with Nids, Adam with Votann (fake army) and Alexei promoted from Division 2 but running the mighty Custodes. Mike has run scared back to his Necrons after barely avoiding relegation last season - will it make a difference? Well playing Necrons does allow you to fully commit t

40K League - 11th Season 2 - Round 1 - Division 2 Gentlement, Bin Dwellers & Mouth Breathers, welcome to League 2 where the borderline windowlickers, BMI of a minimum 30+ & mildly competent Warhammer 40k players are currently residing.I’m your reporter/league predictor/cake enjoyer of a host Max and his betting company Maxy Bets (The House Always wins), so lets just dive right on in. A quick overview & betting odds of the players: Andrew “The Eternally Positive” Weir - Thi

LEAGUE 3 – Season 2 R1 Predictions Welcome back to Season 2 of the mid league blog! After completely legitimately finishing 3rd last season, it is my pleasure to provide you with tantalising play-by-play for the next. We’ve lost some players: Weir – promoted to League 2 (enjoy his Ravenwing narrative bullshit guys) Joe – relegated to League 4 but also taking a break this season (I’ll miss your Squat Bikes on springs) Josh – also taking a break this season (and I’m sure that h

Welcome back to league 4 ladies and gentlemen!!! (or just Gentleman!). We have 3 returners and 3 newbies. First up CSM vs Necron- Leo V Kris. I was going to back this for a close win to Kris, mainly as I have been experimental and tried to play a new list/style. Kris is used to necrons and knows the ropes....We played this game this evening and honestly I am about to phone the crisis line and ask for a bed! Kris’ necrons did some unholy bullshit, putting out 80 p

Welcome back to the League 5 blog, with your guest host, Ross Tully of Secondary Objective. As this is League 5, we’ll be grateful if these knuckle dragging mouth-breathers just make it to the table, let alone put in a nuanced tactical performance. Let’s get ssuck in! Ben vs Nick - A battle for the ages – will Ben be able to dig a hole quick enough before Nick sails up to him and sinks his battleship? Ben is running Marines, but it doesn’t really matter what he’s running

The League has reached its finale, and it’s starting to feel like the Hunger Games with only 6 players making it through to this point. Before the dome closes in completely and the people get the final bloodbath they want (and I exhaust this metaphor), let’s see what happened in round 4: Leo (Skaven) vs Steve (Seraphon) Prediction: Leo to win Result: Draw An exact draw! Points, battle tactics and the stars aligned for a good-natured tie game here. Leo was left cursing his dic

It’s taken 84 years, but I have finally played my bye game and round 3 is complete. The baby-shaped clock is ticking for Pete, so we need to crack on with the next 2 rounds before he goes on hiatus for an indeterminate period of time. With that in mind, let’s recap round 3 results! Mark (LRL) vs Dan (SBGL) Prediction: Mark to win Result: Dan win Straight out of the gate with one I got completely wrong and caused Mark to drop his pointy ears entirely. Jamie (DoK) vs Tom (BoK)

A slightly better outing for my predictions this week; let’s see what happened: Matt (Necrons / Take & Hold) vs Craig (Death Guard / Recon) Yeh…I didn’t see this going well for Craig, and unfortunately it went even worse than I’d expected. I thought he’d at least be able to rack up a decent passive score, but those mean old robots wouldn’t even let him do that. Thanks to a certain person who has his own tier though, Matt is sitting in 2nd place in the league after this game

Round 6 It’s a nice short one today for you all folks. Mostly because we are all fixed on LGT and prepping for that so who wants to spend valuable practice time reading a blog on League 2 of all places. And also because I forgot. First up we’ve got myself vs the good Doctor. CSM vs Olly A nice little recon mirror to start us up. Now Olly may have a slight advantage here with a few faster units however his faster units able to run up and reach the objectives and do actions are

Results Ross vs Chris Prediction: Ross Shock all round as Ross Kroot's Chris. Luke Vs Max Prediction: Luke Bin man strikes again as this game wasn't played. Max will blame his car, Luke will blame his bin. No one wins. Sam vs Tom Prediction: Sam I really thought I had this and then Tom was aggro fish and beamed his melta suits into my deployment T1 and popped a Redeemer. Was a proper uphill climb after that point and I nearly clawed it back but it was not to be. Stupid agro f

Welcome back to League 5! Are you sure that you meant to click on this one and weren't confused with why this isn’t League 1 round 5! Anyway lets check in with the last session. Results: John (Tau) v Thomas (Ultramarines) Prediction: John Result: Thomas He’s done it. He’s gone and done it; the newcomer has taken the top spot. John sadly couldn’t manage to hold off the boys in blue to retain the top spot. I reckon Thomas is going to be plain sailing to win the league. Ben

With round 4 complete let’s take a look back and see how my predictions faired. First up we had recon csm vs purge WE. Now this was a nail biter coming down to the very last move from Joe to take the win. With some silly miss playing from myself allowing Joe to full send towards my expansion using all of his exalted eightbound a forgefiend a maulerfiend AND a demon prince I just didn’t position enough stuff at the back to stop him heading towards my home and consecrating it.

Round 4 done, round 5 inbound. Looking to see who can grab that promotion and relegation. G1 Nids vs Guard. Mark vs Dickie. Bang on the money. Guard handed the nasty nids one hell of a whooping. Not sure MArk was expecting that. Maybe the big bugs have run out of biomass? G2 Guard vs Tsons....Loading! G3 Tau Vs EX, Leo vs Angelito... I was bang on the money again, which makes me sad. Tau dominated and thats all there is to it. Not even pleasurable domination (Mores th

I wasn’t happy enough with getting two predictions wrong, so this time decided to go for all three. In fairness, we were very close to getting the two draws I’d predicted, but Matt and Weir had to go and ruin that for everyone. So, let’s see what happened: Matt (Necrons / Take and Hold) Vs Dan (Death Guard / Priority Assets): Not content with having already changed my disposition after round 2, I decided to pivot from Take and Hold to Priority Assets – which also meant chan

Right who did I judge correctly and who subverted expectations? Sam (Slaanesh Daemons) vs Ross (Kroot) Prediction: Ross Yeah yeah I got Krooted again. Fucking stupid chickens. Chris (Necrons) vs Luke (Votann) Prediction: No one as Luke won't play his game until November Alright alright I will eat some humble pie and accept Luke managed get off his huge bin shaped ass and play some 40k. Well done, love you. Mike (GK) vs Tom (Tau) Prediction: Mike Another wrong one here as I ba

Hello and welcome back. Thank you to all three of you that read this, it means a lot to me to see that members of the Hobby Henchman community are wanting to see how badly things are going at the bottom. Either that or they have misread the league and clicked on the wrong blog. Force dispositions and lists seem to be changing all the time, thus going forward I’ll just be listing factions not the dispositions as it will make the writing of these blogs and I’m sure the readin

We are 2 rounds down and the league is (sort of) starting to shape up. August apparently is the month of the wild card, with around half of us tweaking something for round 3. Before we get into that however, let’s have a look back at the results from Round 2. Mark (LRL) vs Pete (Seraphon) Prediction: Mark win Result: Mark win Pete published his master plan for playing this mission a few weeks before his game, then duly ignored his own plan for the game and ended up getting p

Well well well. Two of my predictions were wrong and the one I just did for the lolz ended up being bang on. Let’s see how things unfolded: Matt (Necrons / Take and Hold) Vs Weir (Dark Angels / Recon): I woke up the day after this game to a message from Weir telling me that I’m gonna be well happy. Logged into BCP and what do I find? They’d only gone and scored a bloody DRAW. Not only that, but the boys had also managed to score my side-prediction of Lisa being absolutely l

Wow-wow- WOW Week 3 I got some results bang on the money, but not all of them. EC VS Ulta Prediction Big win for the boys in blue Result- delightfully perfect win for EC! 100-45 for EC. This Match was full on. Despite the one-sided victory, a few different actions would have resulted in a theoretical and practical victory for Ultrama. EC found their stride and swept them away. Dickie vs Harry was a draw match- due to be rescheduled. We will wait and see. The big one

Oh it's all fucking kicking off in Division 1 now - some people are winning, some people are losing, some people are planning 25 catch up games in the space of 72 hours. You really don't get this kind of intense entertainment value in other competitive endeavours. Results Sam (Space Marines) vs Luke (Heathband Votann) Prediction: Sam Result: Not played yet as Luke continues his efforts to play not a single game in the league. Ross (Kroot) vs Mike (GK) Prediction: Ross Result:
