Power Bracket Finals and Kill Team Poll!

Before we get to the bracket, I'd like to mention the poll to the right for choosing a new name for "Project Kill Team". This will be the name of the rules-set itself. If you have a better name that you like, please just post it in the comments of either this post or the Project Kill Team post and I will add it to the poll.

Now, the bracket. I apologize it has taken me so long to post up, I've just been really busy.

The winner is:

THE SANGUINOR!

I know, I know, surprising, right? Well here's the bracket and underneath the full bracket.

Abaddon just destroyed Marneus and The Sanguinor very easily beat Canis Wolfborne. It was the final between The Sanguinor and Abaddon that was actually very thrilling. The first round Abaddon rolled a 5 for how many extra attacks he got and in one round of combat was able to kill the Blood Angels Champion. However, it is the higher invulnerable save of 3+, the ability to re-roll all to hit and to wound rolls in combat against a specified HQ and his Eternal Warrior that saved The Sanguinor from falling to the blade of Chaos like his father, Sanguinius, did before him.

All in all, a very appropriate ending for this bracket. Good versus Evil in the Calgar/Abaddon match and a replay of the Horus Heresy when Horus killed his brother Sangunius. Only this time, the Blood Angel was able to avenge his father's death. Cool ending if you ask me!

I will be putting the final bracket up permanently on the left-hand side of Terran Forge as well.

Perhaps I will do an alien bracket next.....

Chaos Marines Bracket

Ok, here is the last section before the finals, the Chaos Space Marines! The winner, completely unexpectedly [/sarcasm] is Abaddon the Despoiler!

Here is the bracket:

So what's next? Well Abaddon and Marneus will face off in what promises to be an epic duel and Canis Wolfborne and The Sanguinor will have a nice fist fight to see who enters the final arena. Stay tuned, as I'll post up the finals on Tuesday! It's anybody's guess on who's going to win!

Blood Angels Bracket

It's a bit later than I wanted to post it, but here it is, the Blood Angels bracket. And the winner is... THE SANGUINOR! Guy ripped through everybody, I was impressed. As a note, I ended up restructuring this bracket a bit because the one I orginially had didn't maketoo much sense.

Space Wolves Bracket

Well... this was... interesting, to say the least. There were many times while I was pitting each IC against each other that I second guessed myself because the outcome was just down right odd. A great example is the fact that Canis Wolfbane won. What?! He beat, with lack of anti-tank weaponry mind you, Bjorn the Fellhanded - a gorram dreadnought! Granted, the amount of attacks he had coupled with his heightened strength of 5 and the fact he has rending all contributed to this beat down. The first round he managed to get a wreck, the second went on for a few assault rounds as Canisjust kept getting weapon destroyed and immobilized results.

But yeah. What a shocker. The only reason, I think, he survived against Logan even though the guy (as far as I can tell. I could've missed something) doesn't have an invulnerable save was just because if his heightened toughness. Plus, the pair of claws let him re-roll wounds so that was certainly a plus!

Anyways, here's the bracket:

-Unless Logan would've been killed beforehand, he opted to allocated all attacks as a Power Fist rather than Frost Blade. (Technically a bit of cheating here, but I wanted to keep it as balanced as possible)
-Njal, after testing all shooting psychic attacks, always used "Muderous Hurricane" as it nearly always produced results.

Space Marine Bracket

Here is the promised Space Marine bracket! Marneus Calgar, unsurprisingly, won. What is surprising, however, is that the only one to beat him was Cassius! Very interesting! A few reasons for that were that Marnues couldn't insta-kill him and Cassius has Feel No Pain.

Here's the bracket with each round's win-loss ratio for each opponent (click to enlarge).

- Marneus Calgar was given the Armor of Antilochus
- Tigurius uses Smite in the shooting round and Quickening and Might of the Ancients in the Assault round.

The Power Armor Bracket

Hello everyone! Today I decided to do a small week long project that pits Power-Armored special characters in four codices (Space Marines, Space Wolves, Blood Angels and Chaos Space Marinesin a best-of-3 series against each other until at the very end only the best remains. This is definitely for fun, but I'm going to put a poll up to see what people think will happen.
EDIT- No, nevermind. Polls aren't working for some reason. For now just leave who you think will win in the comments of this post!

Here is the bracket (click for the full image):

Photobucket

Every day, starting tomorrow, I will post up each army's results (all the way to the champ). I will skip Monday as I'd like to get some people voting on the overall winner and on Tuesday of next week we will see who is the absolute champion!

So here are the rules I will be abiding by:
-Characters have one round of shooting before assault.
-Character who was seeded first is the first allowed to assault, and it alternates for the next 3 to 6 games.
-Characters will be bare bone unless there are obvious choices to be taken such as Terminator armor for Calgar. Any choice other than the basic wargear will be specifically mentioned.

That's about it.

Hopefully this will be fun and some of you guys will enjoy it!

Thursday June 17th - Space Marines
Friday June 18th - Space Wolves
Saturday June 19th - Blood Angels
Sunday June 20th - Chaos Space Marines
