What a fight! What a lovely fight! Tonight we’ve got Thomas back for another round with his nasty Space Marine Battle Company vs. Reecius’ Junkticrons in an 1,850pt showdown. Join us on our Twitch Channel to catch the live action tonight, at 7:00pm PST! Lists in the post.
Thomas beat Reecius’ Dark Angels on Tuesday in a close game (well, close points wise, Reecius’ army was getting beat down!), and tonight, Reecius has decided to bust out his Junktircons who’ve gotten some more paint on them which he believes, will give them more power on the tabletop….makes sense, right?

I’m not sure what can be done about it, but Battle co. Vs crons takes waay too long. You guys were in the middle of 3 when time would’ve been called.
It gets even worse when you play the minmax unit spam version vs a decurion. A ton of dice get thrown, and the field barely clears up at all, so the game doesn’t speed up any.
Thomas is the new Pablo.. Reece’s arch enemy
The way I understand it, Thomas would have had 1 more tactical doctrine. Formation benefits that affect the use of doctrines stack so fielding a demi-company gives you a tactical doctrine (as part of its own benefits) and fielding the Battle Company gives you a separate, full set of doctrines.
