My Orcs

Ok, maybe he has a bad record against Orcs. Maybe he finds them boring. maybe he just doesn't like green! Whatever. It's an open league, there's no downside to declining a game, and he can accept or refuse as he sees fit.

hell, a couple of years ago I'd have turned down a game against lizzies, as I had an appaling record against them. I'd have happily played Orcs, Chaos, Dwarfs though. Does that mean I'm cherry-picking?

if he woulda said...i don't want to play orcs yes. but he said I was too bashy...but plays a more bashy team than me.

Then's he's probably seen your Khemri.

If I understand you, the only issue here is that I played what you see as a more bashy team after declining your offer.

When I looked at the two teams the Nurgle lot looked genuinely less likely to pulverise me, we differ in opinion on that and that could be a sign of my inexperience (not having played nurgle before) but I thought (and still think) that the lack of block would hurt them (and I'm not overly worried by the beast).

It was also a little while later and I was getting more desperate for a game:) If one of the humans had been the right sort of TR I'd have preffered them.

Cheers,
Gary

LMAO

Thanks for that, he might know what he's talking about then!

Mind you, if he's used to Khemri and Chaos dwarfs I can understand why his orcs don't appear bashy to him.

Thinking about this last night I can see why people might avoid you because you're so highly ranked and I understand that being dodged like that would be irritating.

I don't "get" that mentality though, I'd see it as a no-lose situation; you beat me and, well, no big surprise, but if I win then it's major bragging rights:) How many chances am I really likely to get to take a shot at the top ranked players?

In fact, I'd love to have a crack at your tournament Khemri, I'm thinking of joining the tournament scene over here in the UK (my wife will love that on top of my other tournaments:) and it'd be great to see how the better players play.

Cheers,
Gary.

you'd be a glutton for punishment....with my khemri I've cleared the pitch 3 times in tournament play....and gotten teams down to 1 player MANY times...including orcs!!!

but I've basically retired my khemri from tourney play...I've accomplished my goal of proving they could win a tourney

I wouldnt take those rankings too seriously. 8th in the UK apparently with necromantics, just below Darkson. Surely not?

Yeah! Fantastic record with Necro's (1/0/1).

ouch, but considering I keep accepting games with bashy teams (because there aren't any others in hte league actually playing!) I'm guessing that yeah, I'm a glutton for punishment
