Wooooo... Wraithknights..... yyyyyyeah, ok boys,r ally your grav centurions and grav bikes.

I could probably manage any weekend in August except the 14th-16th as that is She Who Must Be Obeyed's birthday.

Oh, and I remembered my login account finally.

I'm in for a RTT on Aug 8th AND/OR a GT the following weekend!

Summertime! (And the living is easy?).

I think the Gt would replace that month's RTT

^ That's it. If we do the tourney on the 8th-9th it would replace the normal tournament in August.

*edit - Forgot to mention; the rationale behind that date was that since it already falls on the tournament weekend, figured that would help sync up schedules.

Which I now have permission to bail on the Family-thing early. So, Aug. 8-9 works for me.

...

Oh, I forgot to be sarcastic and write something funny. Next time.

Can't blame me for trying!

I never noticed you writing anything funny

I like it. No matter when you do it I will try to arrange playing in it. Aug is probably best for me.

Sweet. So that means you'll definitely maybe try to absolutely make an effort to be there schedule permitting.



You know you live mere blocks from the venue, right?

And Casey, you know I was really waiting on you being able to go all along, now that you're in you'll see the event listing go up soon!

This is exactly how a friendly gaming community is supposed to function, I love you all.

Totally agree Mike, the best communities are the ones with the most snark by volume.

Hopefully, maybe gods willing I will have my new army atleast built by then...

lol

<---- Combine those two, crying while laughing.

I love you all.

The amount of Snark from Travis on Dakka can never be too damn high.

All right gang, we're in the home stretch for this weekend, we're looking at another big event with around 30 players!

Now, of course, I've jinxed everything and it'll be Me, Mike, and Adam playing some salty round robin!

Things to remember:

- Earliness is next to Godliness; I'd like for dice to be rolling by 10:30 so please be prompt. I'll be at the store around 9 for setup, donuts and coffee are always welcomed!
- We're doing three rounds of 2 hours, fifteen minutes each, so please be ready to play with lists made, materials handy, and models ready. Lunch between rounds 1 and 2. Don't all go to Panda at once!
- We are playing at least one Maelstrom mission from the BRB, if you have tactical cards bring them, if not we'll have sets for sale and I have a tracking spreadsheet you can use.
- Don't forget your Warwalkers, Allan.

See you Saturday!

Dear god that would be the saltiest of tournament pairings.

At least I'll have a chance of winning something!

Let's reign in our expectations here.

Another awesome day at GE thanks to Travis. Eli brought a fantastic army that won best painted. The big bad beast won Mike best non-imperial. Danny won the sportsman, Alan took best general. Someone help me out with best Imperial, there were lots of guys I didn't know so their names have run off.

Travis did a great job with the handling of it, but all the players were fair and fun to play. The terrain is really great and super fine to play on. It looked like all the big bad Eldar are not really as bad as the net would have you believe. I played a Culexus, took out a Bloodthirster and another MC without taking a single wound. He is always invisible, so I wonder if he'll be nerfed in the future.

Big thanks to Eli, Ryan, and Shayan. They were great opponents and made the day. Hope you guys can come out again, I want to toss some challenges out there.

SOOOO, what is in store for us in June! It is going to be a post apocalyptic game you know!

Did anyone bring a WraithKnight? If so, how'd it do?
- - - - - - - - -
I am so incredibly bummed that I couldn't attend, play broken eldar, with my WK, and win the whole thing. Proving how broken the book is.

Oh, yeah. A soulgrinder/daemon farm list won?

Couldn't possibly have been because the general wielding it was a good player? Take that meta-predicting doom sayers!

Winner was a Khorne Daemonkin w/CSM allies and alot of Soul Grinders.

Scores have been sent in and topic updated. I'll update the post once we determine the format.

Teddy played Eldar and went 1-1-1. He still doesn't have the units he needs. He did have a Knight and only Miles with GK was able to drop him. Time was playing Eldar and all the toys, but it didn't get him the win, not sure why.

Still hoping Travis posts something on the June RTT. I am bringing something old that will be new for me.

Time lost to Carlos Round 2 by 1 point

This tournament was a BLAST! Was so great to see so many new faces, some really great guys joining the game empire family.

Somehow I got stuck against deamons w/ chaos space marine allies twice, but thankfully after my butt-whooping first round, I was able to get sweet vengeance on the deamonkin last round. Take that in the face Khorne! Bee tee dubs, Kharne the betrayer is no joke.

I also take full credit for giving best general the win, since I opted to give him full battlepoints the first round via my butt-whooping. It was a last great hurrah for my nids before the new dex releases...prepare yourselves for the Invaders from Mars next month!

Thanks for a great time gents, well worth the drive up from San Diego to represent the Scions of Chaos! Thanks as well for the love shown to my Night Lords, it's pretty awesome to have my labors and curses throughout the conversions and painting of hundreds of lightning bolts appreciated!

Great group of guys, I look forward to making the trip up again in the future!
-Eli

I had a senior moment and thought the June event would be on June 6th and I wouldn't be able to go. Luckily the 13th seems good to go.

Saw this on Bell of Lost Souls today... don't these armies look a liiiiiiitle familiar?

Ya! those look like my Orks!!

The funny part is the caption. The knight didn't get to fire its flamer once that game and was killed out right that combat. I think I lost 2 MANZ. Granted the explosion killed some more but who's counting Yarrik refused to die, that SOB. I think I killed him three times before he stayed down.
