Very well said, jy. Highly enjoyable and thought-provoking reports, dude.

Thanks! It was fun playing my NecroKnights and I'm glad I got a chance to tell my story.

jy2 goes to my local gw (apparently). I've had the pleasure of getting my ass whupped by his daemons list. had no idea who he was when I played against him! It's a small world

Really? So who are you?

Always nice to meet another local dakkalite.

I'm the kid with the Ultramarines who was using a rhino as a proxy razorback with a lascannon, and my guy with a meltagun and stormsheild became a MM er in my devastators, and you were running alot of slaneshi and tzeench daemons. I did kill your soulgrinders though! Oh yeah, the last thing you killed was my landraider and my whirlwind.

Oh yeah, and my name is Barry. Ridiculously tall kid.

your beating me made me buy some grey knights. Maybe I will win next time

EDIT: oh yeah and you offered to play at a deficit cuz you knew you would beat me, but i refused to take it. I wish i had And the last time I saw you you commented on the fact that I only deserved to brag if i could beat big green... and that if I could beat you then I was a legend. And you were basecoating some eldar. I have a good memory.

Haha....good memory indeed!

Nice to meet you, Barry. Perhaps the next time we meet, you can exact your revenge on me, especially with the new & improved Space Marines.

BTW, I usually play at Game Kastle on Thursday afternoon/evenings. If you want to improve your gameplay, you should go over there. There's some pretty good players there to practice against. There you will find players like Grant Theft Auto and his seer council, Adam's Triptide Tau, ImmotekhtheStormlord (who just won Celesticon) and Janthkin just to name a few. Even Big Green is starting to show up there on Thurs as well.

Cool! thanks for the advice! But I go to westvalley college on thursdays. Damn. No way I could squeze a game with my new and improved IH/DA landraider spam list (clocks in at 3000pts)

Oh well, maybe in winter break or the summertime. We'll still be there.

Found this late and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Moved to SF two years ago and finally on top of my busy life to get gaming. Looks like bunch of OldSkool Dakka seniors live in the bay area.

Spaking of Dakka Legends, somewhat shocked to see Centurion99 (if he is the same guy) run such a Spammy Daemon list when he's forte used to be smacking people with the oddest and fluffiest lists

Yeah, there's a lot of dakkalites on the West Coast, though probably for financial reasons, we tend to play more at the West Coast tournaments.

I believe Centurion99 is probably the same guy as before - a long-time daemon player. In this case, I think he wants to play a certain style of daemons, which is why his list is somewhat spammy. I don't blame him. FMC-spam is a super strong daemon build and probably the build most likely to succeed in tournament play. Or maybe he just likes running MC's.

Hey, it's Migs! How've you been?

Yup, Bill/C99 has tipped over into the FMC-spamming dark side. Part of it is just the simplicity - it's an easy army to transport, plays fast, and doesn't have many really bad match-ups. These are all Good Things at long tournaments, particularly when you're part of a team.

I remember when he spanked people with an infantry IG army (Gaunt's Ghosts) that was not supposed to win a game. This must have been in 3rd edition. So happy to see you guys still going strong! (Or even stronger). Looking forward to hopefully getting some games against you guys at some point.

I moved to San Francisco two years ago, finally finished the army I had the beginnings for and I am hoping to attend the local tournaments in 2014. I pretty much missed all of 5th just studying, working and building/painting crazy miniatures.

Yeah, sure. Both Kevin and I are in the South Bay and normally play at Game Kastle in Santa Clara. I have been known to travel for games once in a while, especially to Frontline Gaming in Martinez. Just PM either of us if you'd like to get a game in.

I don't believe Bill has been playing too much recently due to school and work, but he's in the East Coast (or somewhere near).

As for tournaments, my recommendation would be to plan for either the Las Vegas Open in February, the Bay Area Open in summertime or the Golden Throne probably in August if you're interested in some of the larger West Coast GT's that are within drive-able range.
