Hey, I'm Xaereth, welcome to Delusions of Grandeur! This is a blog dedicated (mostly) to competitive play in miniature gaming. I used to play 40k competitively, but have since started to play Warmachine exclusively. Mostly just battle reports these days. We'll see if I ever make time for more. Heh.

Dark Elveses
I've been working like crazy on my Dark Elves, in order to get them ready for Tacticon in a few weeks. Lots of new models to paint, and they tend to take around an hour each. Here's a shot of the spearmen I've been working on, as well as the five crossbows that are finished to a level I like.

Tournaments
Here are the tournaments that I plan on playing in the near future:
'Ard Boyz Fantasy Prelims- Aug. 28
Tactic Con Warhammer 40k- Sep. 4
Tactic Con Warhammer Fantasy- Sep. 5
(If I qualify) 'Ard Boyz Fantasy Semi-Finals- Sep. 25
Clash for Colorado (Warmachine/Hordes)- TBD (last priority, unfortunately)
Guess we'll see what armies I take. I've been working a ton on my Dark Elves and Blood Angels, but who knows? My wolves are already finished, and it's easy to go down to 1850.
Just a short blurb tonight, count on battle reports and likely pictures for each event. Genghis should be fun, usually 40+ people at each tournament.

BoLSCON Tournament Report
Well, here it is, in all its beauty. This writeup will contain all 3 days of my tournament, including 5 (very very short) warmachine reports, 7 40k reports, and my overall thoughts of the tournament. Buckle in, because this is going to be a very long post.

Back from BoLSCON
Well I'm back! I got in late last night, and now I have work in an hour. I'm exhausted, but happy overall. 12 games later, I actually don't feel as burned out as I thought I would be. I'm still kinda sick of 40k, but whatcha gonna do?
Anyways, this is just a 'don't worry, I'm working on a longer post' post, so you don't think I'm just being lazy. Lots of pictures for my games (though not turn for turn, unfortunately). 6 great opponents in the 40k (because one I ended up playing twice in a row!) and a lot of fun (and educational!) games of Warmachine made the weekend a blast for me, though there were a few issues I had as well. I'll talk about those a little later.
I ended up taking home some prize support (and not just random door prize stuff), but you'll have to read my bigger post to find out how exactly I did.
Well, I'm off to eat, shave, and shower. Back to living the dream.
