Whugah! Oz is always like a time slip. Wood elves? O&G? Tomb Kings?! Epic COMP is like setting the wayback machine.
Congrats on the coverage, I can't see youtube from this connection, so I don't know how you did, but just finishing the batrep is a victory in and of itself.

All in all, fact is that Warhammer 40K has never been as balanced as it is now, and codex releases have never been as interesting as they are now (new units and vehicles and tons of new special rules/strategies each release -- not just the same old crap with a few changes in statlines and points costs).

Vaul, I watched the lot but didn't find you describe what was in your list.
Can you point out where it is, or list what was in it?
I'm about to start building my HE army and would like to try some different stylyes out....

Great reports Vaul, partially because you're running an interesting non-standard list and got to fight a bunch of pretty different armies. The dwarfs may have been the most ho-hum, but then that's dwarfs for ya  I appreciated your analysis of the battle points too - it is fairly shocking to see how close 20th and 10th are!
As far as painting goes, I think your force is really quite striking and you deserve to be proud of it - like you note, movement trays and a display board may be the thing to add to boost the score up, but ultimately it's a subjective thing.
I will say that that tzeentch tomb king acmy is FANTASTIC. I've caught some glimpses of it before, and I'm still blown away, just so cool.

As always Vaul cool battle reps. I really love the Gobbotania(spelling)army. Saw it on warseer awhile ago, apart from that all of the other armies looked really well done. Always nice to play a well painted army.
