I have a team who needs a player, who wants the spot?

It was the night before ATC and not a creature was stirring...not even a mouse...

Loads of fun everyone! Thank you for the great 5 games and tournament. Also did anyone catch the website that was said that would have the ranks of battle points and jazz?

The sight is; www.whatc.org. Should be up tomorrow.

Everything was great, till someones fluids were leaking from a sore. Sat around and talked rumour mill with visting teams, established a team from Cali was the farthest out but someone from Switzerland was present. Many spectacular conversions, I believe the Guard army dressed up like a World War I army complete with Krieg models was bar none the best. The trophies though are spectacular devices, especially Numero Uno's.

I think I remember that one. If it was the ones with the mountains in the back ground I do then. That was one of the ones I thought was neat. The guy did a really good job on his display board, it was def a top board IMO. I saw one army that had the best looking blood angels scheme AND painted army or miniature I have ever seen in my life. The fellow did not enter into the painting competition out of respect for others and his awesome integrity. I have so much respect for the guy, and I also had the greatest privilege of my warhammer career by playing against the army. Not only was the guy really nice and humble, it was one of the best games played for me because of the precious models on the table.



Also thank you for the website addy I heard the ATC.org part but the WH blended into the rest of the commotion going on in the area.

I played after that guy round 2, and basically paced back and forth on top of those fluids for 2 hours.

It's pretty disgusting, but I hope that whatever has given his feet leaking sores gets cured. Poor guy.

Great Team Tourney, had a blast.

yeah, my team was on the same set of tables for 3 rounds. So I played on the table next to him round 1, and then on his table round 2. Went for food, came back and it was cleaned up. $100 shoes walking around in that.

Kel-El (Tony) had the best looking army without a doubt. Glad he won best paint. i hope to see a picture of my finished missile launcher guy after he gets done changing him into a Space Wolf from a Blood Angel!

Also, I'm gonna jump on the band wagon of how this tournament was the most fun I've ever been to. There was almost 0 douchbaggery. The fact that you're even there means there are 4 other guys who don't hate you and that they'd want to hang out with you for a weekend. This cuts down on jerks.
(except the wrecking bols team with the magic reserve dice and firing Mantacores 7 times.... woops)

All in all I can't wait for next year.... Really a great tournament.

Going to go ahead and chime in that this was quite possibly my most enjoyable tournament experience to date. NOVA is awesome in its own regard but the fact that there is so much variety, commraderie and fun to be had puts this event at the top of must attend if you're in the Southeast.

Hey Andrew! It was a pleasure playing you. I was way over agressive on my strat against you...overlooked Mesphipon or w/e his name is lol on the right side of the board. Yeah the tournament was really good, no jerks in my games! I am prob going to take a couple of weaks off from painting since I painted as a full time job 6 days a week for 5 months lol. The guy you replaced actually turned up later at the tournament and is in my possession. So because of your generosity PM me your address, and I will paint the guy in a Blood Angels theme for you and return him to you. (unless you want him as is.)

Also thank you for your comment about the best looking army!! I don't want to take any credit from the guy that won best painted - the DE army. I got the Best Painting Theme, but they are pretty much the same imo. Thank you again.

What was leaking?? What color? There was actual puddles? I wore flip flops lol guess I need to put sneakers on from now on lol.

Sweet! Thank you!! I amin love with his army rofl.



Also if anyone finds the pictures of the tournament I would love to see them! I know there are some armies I did not get to look at and this is the best way!! Also standing are up on whatc.org. I ended up with 85 points not 125 - its amazing what happens when your sleepy, distracted, punching numbers on a calculator restarting 5 times because someone is talking to you, and forgetting to hit clear... LOL

Have to say Kal-el that Wolves army was PHENOMENAL!! I think after I finished my game against the guy on your team playing the Nightscythe army, I spent a good 20 minutes staring at your miniatures on the table against monolythic.

As for Steve's army, it was one of the most gorgeous things I have seen in a long time. I had to opportunity to play him and I would say it was a blast but man did he end up with a raw deal. He dropped in a 10 Man Assault Squad, blew up a Razorback without injuring the occupants but ended up killing 3 of his own models and they proceeded to Fall Back off of the table...

Pretty impressed with my Standing personally being around 39 or something...didn't think I had done that well!

The medical concern in question was part of apparently a thyroid condition and is called weeping. It's not contagious or infectious or even truly harmful (doesn't make it unnerving though.) The guy was in the hospital on day two so best of luck to him. Anyway...

The event was an absolute blast. Even better than last year (with A/C this time!) I really enjoyed playing all my opponents and even got to play a different army every round!

@Garron: Which one where you? we played you guys round 5. I was the Dark Eldar from Karmic Justice, just putting names with faces.

LOL thank you! Yeah Steves army was fun to play but I hated shooting his guys and killing them...I would have rather have let him keep them on the table lol. I went to the linked website to look at his army again...so awesome. I am striving to get mine to look like his. O and thank you to the person that found the ML guy on the ground and gave him back.

Holy crap I was 6th!? Never would have imagined getting placed that high..... Great games all around.

Thank you for the clarification and I too wish the guy best of luck. Thyroid stuff is no joke.

Yeah, I have a big issue playing against armies with Fantastic Paint Jobs as my army is about as stunning as a blank page for the most part. Each time my opponent loses a model I have to control myself from apologizing vehemently.

I knew it was going to come down to your SW and that DE army that was so amazing. Glad you got best theme though. That display was awesome, and good work with all the LEDs in that thing. I was the SW player next to you in the last round wishing my army looked that good. I am glad to hear your long fang turned up. Also props to the Ogre converted Nurgle demons army I played in round 3. That was one of the best conversion armies I have seen. The counts as Epidemus mounted model he used was the tits.

Amazing armies aside it was a great tournament, with great organizers, that ran as smoothly as anyone could have hoped for a tourney that size to run. I am definitely looking forward to next year.

Eh... found an error on the round based prizes.

For those not in the know, whichever team won a round (most battle points), that team got a battle force. Nice deal, except for round 4, which was sponsored by Warpath, that team got Warpath stuff.

Shane had Karmic Justice (my team) winning round 4, but we actually won round 5. Doesn't bother me (didn't plan on winning anything) but some guys on my team are kinda upset as they don't want and don't care about Warpath, but would have loved the GW battle forces. Eh... to each their own. I actually really like my new Ork (Marauders) army.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

To be honest I never post anything on forums since complaining online doesn't fix anything. I am 100% a lurker when it comes to online chatting but I feel the need to get this off my chest.

I just had to vent my frustration with one team we had the unfortunate experiences playing. The Jack Booted guys from Chicago where absolutely there to win at all costs. I understand that it is a tournament but the sheer level of douchbaggery did not go unnoticed. I hate to blame the whole team since not everyone had a bad experience playing them from our team but there Guard and Blood angel payers where almost unbearable.

Day two I over watched some of their games and saw the same attitude issues and on top of that I caught their space wolf player cheating with dice pick ups!! I couldn't believe it. I was glad that they did not win the event. I think their Ork player won best general but he seemed to be the best out of the bunch so congrats to him. He should get a new group to play with.

I am not sure if anyone else had a similar experience maybe it was just that round?

I think the photos will be up shortly. They took a LOT of photos so I imagine they are going to go through them all before posting!

As far as the scoring, the software that Rob designed would flag us if any of the numbers we entered didn't match up, so that 125 you put down got changed to 85

They took a lot of photos

They really did. I felt like every game I played I was always getting photographed. My army DOES NOT look anything close to good, but there were some great moments.... can't wait for the photos.

160 Players, 32 teams, 15 hours of games and a great weekend!
Thank you to everyone who came out!
If you don't know yet, Standings and other info can be found at:
www.whatc.org

Ed (the guy with the medical problems) was admitted to the hospital on Saturday afternoon, but is on his way home today. e apologize and he Ed also apologizes for any inconvenience that it caused. Bu the main thing is that he is doing well.

Pictures will be coming this week and next with videos as well. Over 1600 pics to process!

As far as sports, cheating, and other issues go, it is always important to let us know AT the event vs after, but regardless any issues brought to our attention will be addressed and all that have been made know to us so far have been addressed at this time.

We had a great time hosting the event and getting to meet and make new friends and see old friends as well. We are already planning new scoring/pairing systems, some Awesome web and email features, a location closer to international airport and many more things for the year to come! - Stay Tuned to the website and Facebook page for info!

And again, thank you all for making this event one of the best events in the states!

Yeah I was the one - was found on the floor and returned. Prob knocked or something in the close proximity of everyone...no shoe damage! lol I was so sick to my stomach because I spent $80 on the ML bits and did no thave any at home to make a new one.

Cool I am glad the system caught it. I did not even realize it until today when I looked at the scores and I readded the points again in a room with no one in it lol. Seriously I had to restart adding 5 times on the calc because people were talking to me lol and would forget where I left off on the adding...I mean how hard is 5 numbers and one was a 5 and one was a 0 rofl. Forgot to hit clear and was glad I got through all 5 numbers lol.
