ETC 2014 - Round 3 - Denmark - Pairings

After 1 win and 1 near win we got 3 points at the start of day 2. We met with team Denmark that had 4 points and, thus, 2 victories already. 


Denmark never was an easy opponent so we prepared for an uneasy battle. Let's look at pairings estimation table against Denmark:

ETC 2014 - Round 2 - Tyranids+Necrons vs Iyanden+Tau

Game 2 at ETC 2014 I fought with famous Ukrainian player Fedor "Dajnard" Simonenko.


He tailored smart and effective list (it's Dajnard's ability to create unusual lists that f..ck everything around).

ETC 2014 - Round 2 - Ukraine - Pairings

After game 1 we placed first and got paired with team Ukraine. Due to internal problems in the country they added 2 french and 2 german players into the team, but kept the overall high level.


Our estimations for team Ukraine were rather high and we expected to win...

ETC 2014 - Round 1 - Tyranids+Necrons vs AM+SW+Inq

My first game at ETC 2014 was a good pairing for me against Czech player Jindřich 'UZMN' Čadík. 


He played a good AM army powered by SW and Inquisition detachments:

ETC 2014 - My army - Tyranids+Necrons

One day hive mind made an agreement with Necrons. Give us the biomass and take the rest - the sun and the dust. This was the day when the greatest threat for the Imperium was born - a tyranid-necron allied army!

My army list for the ETC 2014:


ETC 2014 - Round 1 - Czech Republic - Pairings

Day 1 starts with a game against team Czech Republic.

It was not easy for me to do pairing with Czech, cause my teammates tried to bribe me to get a pairing with Eva:)

Belarus at ETC 2014 - Intro

This year is my second showoff as a captain of team BELARUS at European Team Championship. The event took place in Novi Sad, Serbia in the same place as in year 2013. We started to prepare to the tourney right after the previous one, but all our plans were ruined with new edition of rules (7th edition came out 2 month before the ETC). We reorganized the team rapidly, generating new army lists but anyways there were still a lot of blind dots in the preparation process. Anyway, let me introduce the TEAM:



Yaroslav "Jarek" Dmitriev - our "heavy" veteran with a solid GK/AM anti-psyker list, ready to deal with any opponent.

Nikolai "Torf" Danilov - one of the most intellectual players of Russia with a solid AM/Inquisition army. The guy with the iron will and poker face:)

Yuri "Warpstone" Anufriev - The bombardier and topscorer of our team, the one who played on the top table in the final of ESC 2013, the winner of the russian 40k league. This year he gave up Necrons for Eldar/DE army with a beaststar.

Eugene "Ewgen" Ranchenko - a new belarusian guy in our team, the follower of Yuri, new Necron player of our team.

Fedor "Fredya" Fomin - our topscorer and the psychologist of our team with a Tau/Farsight bomb.

Gennady "Ghost" Babenko - a Kazakhstan player, who played in our team for years, one of the most universal players I know - he played for almost all the armies in 40k in a tourney environment. Experienced but young and agressive! This time he played Daemons army.

Alexander "Santan" Philippov - one more diamond from the russian 40k community. The one who generates weird lists and stomp opponents into static grass with ease. He generated an agressive CSM/Daemons fast and deadly close combat army.

And the Captain of the term - Alexander "Erle" Ivanov. Yep, It's me. I played Tyranids for years and experimented with different allies after the 7th ed came out. I tried daemons with little success and stopped at Necrons as the secondary detachment, inspired by Yuri's list from ETC 2013.
