...er, WarGames Con 2010. (I'm so confused.) Also I've got some tips for you tournament goers out there.
...and the rest of the pictures.
Everything is painted. If I can get the Not-So-Super-Secret-Army done to my satisfaction, I'll go through and make some touchups (especially to the Fiends), but for the most part I'm satisfied.
My tip for the tournament is this: I always print a copy of my army list on nice cardstock and thermal seal it. I can write on it with a washable marker if I need to - for example, to add up victory points in odd missions - and wipe it right off. More importantly, I can grab it quickly without having to hunt among papers.
I'm also going to print labels with my name, email, and blog address to put on the army lists I'm going to be given to give to my opponents. That way, hopefully they'll stop by here to comment on the battle reports I'm sure to do. Better not lose, Brent.
Thoughts? Comments?

ReplyDeletesame here, especially when I have the same exact case lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea about the cardstock army list in a page protector!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Chaos Daemons at Wagames/BoLScon! Glory be to Chaos!

I also like to make card for any multi-wound choices, that way you can mark off when they have wounds versus dice or other nonsense on the table. Less cluttered.
ReplyDeleteNice list - I prefer only two heralds and then something big and stupid as I feel that is daemon like. The 2 horror blocks are meh to me but it should be fun. 18 fiends is A+++ in my book and what any daemon player should bring. I might just have to remake a whole army with all the new plastic. I think my fiends will be out of chaos spawn. Fuck the metal multiboob shenanigans.
Goat - I'm glad you like the list!
ReplyDeleteI actually won a tournament once with two Heralds (as above)and a Great Unclean One with Breath. That actually worked quite well.
Two things stopped me. Evil Homer thought the 4 Heralds were better, and he's my nemesis so I tend to listen... even though he probably doesn't realize it. The other things was I want to enter the GUO in the painting competition.
The Horrors are a change. Normally I run the standard 5-man Plague Bearers. The change came because I found in non-objective games 4 units of PB's did practically nothing to help me win, whereas the times I used Horrors the additional shooting helped some. I'm not confident the change was an improvement, but I'm hoping it won't be a detriment.
Eventually I want to model riders for my Fiends. They're purple now only because I have more I want to do. I'd never drop the money on GW's metal monstrosities though, and using the old Cold Ones was much, much cheaper!
Cold One Fiends FTW. Eventually, that's what I'll do, though 8e appears to want me to use my Cold One Knights as actual Dark Elves! :O
ReplyDeletePersonally, I print a copy for the TO, one for myself, and one for every opponent, when I go to a Tourny.
Next time I will consider some sort of wound counting mechanism....perhaps eBay some old Epic Titan bases with Void Shield counters.
