I just got back from a terrific weekend of gaming in Omaha! You can read a detailed review of my experience at the Bugeater on my blog.

Another awesome Bugeater GT. This year was even better with tables for every army at every table. I had some great games and the people I met were awesome.

The field was surprising with SW out numbering GK, and even then there wasn't an over welming number of them. In my 6 games I played one SW and zero GK. There was even Nids there. And Orks won at 6-0 and Daemons took the Sweapsteaks or Ren man.

Man, after going, I immediately regretted not going the first year to this GT. I was the 6-0 Ork Player.

The terrain was beautiful (albeit a bit annoying in certain cases), and, as Josh said, it was well run. The meta was wonderfully diverse - I never played the same army twice in a row. And - best of all - while all of my opponents were very competitive, none were unfriendly or too intense. I had 6 FUN games, which rarely seems to happen at a GT.

I will definitely be returning next year. I highly recommend the GT to others as well.

Yeah, it helps when your KFF decides to roll like a frikken' boss. Played BA for the final table, and I think GK took second.

Haha, not gonna lie, I knew it was going to be an extremely tough fight after you beat my two other friends! Totally agree, however, I would have loved to have seen you at the final table instead.

Tell your mates thanks for the 2 awesome games with them as well! Glad I got to play against the crew you guys came down with. Each one of the 3 games swung back and forth multiple times and had a blast with each and every one! If your looking at any FL events give me a buzz so we can meet up again!
