Season 2 Division 3 Round 1

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 has nothing to do with missing out

on bronze in totally legitimate fashion)

And gained some players:

Angelito – promoted from League 4 and playing Salamanders

Ben – new to the league, a fellow Death Guard enjoyer…and also playing Salamanders

Owen – new to the league, running Nuns with Guns…and also playing Salamanders…wait

Round 1 is ready to go, and here are the first fixtures:

Angelito (Salamanders) vs Jamie (World Eaters)

Craig (Death Guard) vs Owen (Sisters of Battle)

Ben (Salamanders) vs Matt (Necrons)

Dan – BYE

Angelito (Salamanders / PA) vs Jamie (World Eaters / Purge):

Naughty Jamie hasn’t submitted his list to BCP at time of writing, but I played against it last

week so know what he’s bringing. I say played against it, bent over by it might be more apt.

Anyway, it’s the ol’ Priority vs Purge match up so it’ll be a dust up in the middle. And, lucky

for Jamie, week 1 layout for this mission is Dawn of War, which is an absolutely balanced

map and in no way gives a massive advantage to melee rush armies.

Angelito is rocking some serious firepower though, almost all Meltas and Flamers, with the

silly Impulsor/Eradicator combos in tow. If his shooting units don’t get tagged early, Jamie

might be in for a rough night. Angelito doesn’t seem to have many action monkeys, but I

guess that doesn’t matter if everything is dead! This feels like one of those games that can

be won and lost based on deployment and who gets first turn.

Prediction: Jamie

LEAGUE 3 – Season 2 R1 Predictions

Craig (Death Guard / PA) vs Owen (Sisters of Battle / PA):

A priority-off! Craig has gone full DG meta now (although he was dabbling with this list

before it was cool) and is running the three free zombies plus stat check units. Owen seems

to have inadvertently gone with a highlander list and only has 1 of each of the units he’s

bringing – It’s been forever since I’ve played against Sisters, so I’ve got no idea how well

that is going to work, but he’s bringing the goddamn Triumph of Saint Katherine, so he wins

the hobby vote at least.

The DG list really suits how Craig likes to play, and I saw him ruin Freddie’s life with it last

week, so I think this game will depend on how well Owen knows his own army and what they

can do to stop the passive scoring.

Prediction: Craig

LEAGUE 3 – Season 2 R1 Predictions

Ben (Salamanders / PA) vs Matt (Necrons / T&H):

Salamanders PA again… well at least it’s a different list, and two Land Raider Redeemers

LOL. Ben is facing the terror of Season 1, who seems to have brought the same horrible

Necron list he was ruining lives with last time…get your toaster baths ready guys.

I didn’t intend to bet against all 3 of the newbies this week, but I very much remember how

well Matt did last time, so it’s hard to see this going any other way. But please feel free to

prove me wrong Ben :D

Prediction: Matt

LEAGUE 3 – Season 2 R1 Predictions

That leaves me, who has the BYE this week, and as BCP has the BYE player recorded as

playing filthy knife ears – I’m going to generate a slop image of them getting murked every

round. Enjoy!
