Feast of Blades: I was there!

Wow, thought (hoped?) I was dead, right folks?  I'm sure you're thinking something along the lines of: "Can't he just be a decent human being and either delete this blog or post regularly?"

If that's the case and you actually thought something like that, then shame on you.  Seriously, that's really rude.

:-p

For those of you who care though, I recently started grad school, on top of full-time work.  So, full-time grad, full-time work, and a wifey.  No time for warhammer awesomeness lately, especially writing a blog about it.  Sadly :(

So, let's go ahead and get the

6th and the shift of ridiculousness, with a Bonus List at the end

Cool, so I'm back.  6th edition is here, and now so is my desire to actually talk about wargames via blogging, lol.

Anyways, as per usual, I'm just a tournament dude, trying to make sense of how this is all going to turn out.  I have some thoughts on it, so let's have a

Mirror match at WGC

...playing the waiting game right now. At least my army is painted :-p

Bugeater GT Tournament Report

Hey there folks!  How goes it?  I'm happy to report that I'm back from the Bugeater GT in one piece, after a harrowing 9-hour drive through Nebraska and Wyoming!

So, how did it go, you ask?  Did you pwn everyone in sight with your new mysterious army?

It's all a very exciting narrative of betrayal and failure, excitement and nerves.

All that in a minute, after the jump!

Zero blogging does not inactivity indicate

Lol tried to post this about a week ago. Blogger failed to post it apparently. Lame.

Hey folks, figured I'd give a (very) brief update. I'm still working on my new (and suddenly mysterious) army. What I originally thought would be a three-week project has unexpectedly become a two-week one, due to my sister's generous graduation gift of plane tickets for myself and the wifey to visit her in sunni(er) California for a week leading up to the Bugeater. Anyways, I'm committed right now to two tournaments in June: Bugeater in Omaha and WarBOLSCon in Austin. We shall see if I can scrounge enough money to go to the Nova again - it kind of hinges on if I can get an invitaional seat again to make it worth the enormous amount of money I'd have to shell out again.

Speaking of which - anyone going who has a floor space open? I'll happily pitch in for hotel fees, etc.

On that note, I'm headed off to paint some more. Nearly all done with infantry, now gotta focus on vehicles.
(Which means I'm not taking nids, :-o )

I'll have a little more time to post once the army is done, and I intend on taking pictures and doing batreps for both tournaments. Just... No real point in blogging when there are things that need done so I can actually play, right? :-)

Seriously though, super excited for Bugeater, last year was excellent, and looks like they've made some great adjustments for this year. Maybe I'll get a chance to throw down with Hulksmash this time instead of both of us getting owned by double lash, HAHA.

K, laters.

Back From Adepticon!

Well folks, I'm back from Adepticon, after what seems like aeons of inactivity with 40k.  I had a blast, and I figure I'll just give a brief recap on the tournament, and dive into my new army project :-p

(that's right, I finally have motivation to actually play some 5th edition again, and therefore rejoin the 40k community! lol)

Game 1 & 2 results at adepticon

3-0 win vs. His wolfstar for round 1.
2-1 win vs. His GK pally/terminator stars. Glad I took 2nd turn :-p

Two games remain. I'm assuming I get eliminated next round. Heh.

Well it's Wednesday and I'm off to Adepticon

Haha, same old tired wolfstar list, because it's small and I know how to play it.

A quick Q&A:

Q: Will I win Adepticon?
A: Yes.

Q: Will I get fire-withered off the table vs. every new army?
A: Yes.

Q: Aren't those two mutually exclusive?
A: Very yes.

Q: So... ARE you going to win Adepticon?
A: meh

So! Aren't you glad we all spent some time on that rewarding Q&A? You should console yourself that it took much longer to post it on my Droid than it took you to read it.

Alright, wish me luck, maybe I'll get off my ass and actually take pictures and stuff for games and send them to you via blogger. Heh.

Offseason is Over

Time to Roll the Dice

 Well guys (and girl(s)), I'm back, more or less at least.  After about 3 months of not playing the game at all, the Tournament Season kicks off tomorrow (today, by the time this goes up) with a bang at Genghis Con, a couple short weeks before the first major tournament of year.  A little more info after the
