Picture of me (Jim, middle) with Reece (left) and Frankie (right), founders of Frontline Gaming and the ITC.
So the Bay Area Open GT ( BAO GT) is happening this weekend. It is a large GT - about 150 attendees signed up - in Silicon Valley in Northern California. Originally, I was not able to attend but in the 11th hour, it turned out that I could. So I decided to bring my Walking Dread Space Wolves army that I have been playing recently.
List:
My goal is to win Best Faction Army (in this case, Best Space Wolves). More updates and my battle reports to come throughout the week. In the meantime, let me know what you think about my army and/or how they will do.

Thanks!
For several reasons:
1. More dreads = plays better to the objectives.
2. Dreads can better take advantage of my character buffs. The Shadowsword can't.
3. I am anticipating a lot of terrain. The SS will have problems maneuvering around them due to its large frame. For example, on some tables, you get terrains like these:

Good luck, curious to see how it turns out. Definitely curious to see how the meta will be, with no flyer spam.

I get the reasoning, but I think the Shadowsword is going to be sorely missed.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. If for nothing other then it would have been a huge fire magnet that his dreads would have enjoyed having around.

I'm just watching through the Best Coast Pairings site/app (the app crashes all the time, though. Kind of garbage imo), so I don't know for sure - the site claims they're in round 5 at the moment.

There were still a lot of flyers, though I imagine that many people made alterations to their flyer lists.

My Shadowsword would have been so dead, considering how many alpha-strike armies I went up against. It's hard to say, really.

Sorry for the wait guys. I've been really busy lately as well as out of town (still not back yet). I'm hoping to get started on the reports this weekend. See you.
