Analytical Progress on Black Moon Cadre

Have played 4 games the two weeks, overall below average performance and in luck. The three games i used the above fluff list with added ethereal in it whilst one was the "competitive" list, which had proven it is weaker than the fluff list surprisingly. 

First game was against Yip's SW was purely luck i might say, won by one objective. 

Second game i used the "competitive" list against Marcus's BA, the list lacked overall firepower as well as anti-MEQ power but mostly the army is tricky to play with. 

Third game was against Alvin, testing an SM list whilst the fourth game was against Anuar(correct?)'s Chaos Daemons. I switched back to Ethereal list, why I grouped them together besides they are played both on the same day and conceited before actual end game, is because I generally made crucial deployment and target priority mistakes. 

I should have stick to "castle formation" when deploying my army, spreading my army carelessly in anyway really weakens my tactical options. Also my inexperience has cost me yet again, this was the first time i faced Chaos Daemons so i had absolutely no idea what my target priorities are. For that i have gone through the codex myself, practically the bread and butter against my army. 

In conclusion, I can say my lists are definitely non-competitive especially against MEQs type armies, however i'm still looking for other ways to improve my army without spamming more XV8s or Broadsides if possible. One thing's for sure i need to improve on is my tactical skills, i seem to always change my way of fighting and experimenting, i presume i should stick to one style that works and get used to it before i try something new. Consecutive games also takes a toll on me, don't know why but playing the game consumes a lot of mental strength in me, probably because nothing comes habitual, every move and shot i take needs to be thought out and quickly too, explains the sweating when things get hectic and troublesome i guess. 

I'll wait for the new codex before i purchase anything more, because a recent rumour at ATT states and i quote, 

I was just talking with a couple game store owners in my area. One of them is working in a company that is that is working on fluff for games workshop new codexs. I can't say whom or what company they work for I rather not have them get into trouble..

This is what I heard..
Necron codes is pushed back slated some time next year.. In its place fourth quarter this year..... Tau

There will be also more rumors surfacing soon as the pre-codex are being looked over. Again this is coming from a good source the question is if GW will actually be slating the tau in forth quarter of this year.

Anyhow just passing info along. 


well, i'll still refrain myself from buying anything but modelling/painting accessories, finish painting the army is my number one priority at the moment.
