Having a Blast at WAR Games Con

Herr Fernseher here, Brent's dilatory drudge.  Brent scored more points than his opponent in game 5, but called it "a tie, basically."  He has moved up a couple of slots to table 25 for round 6.  This is only 14 slots behind the Honky-slayer.  If Brent wins game 6 big, and the Honky-slayer loses big, we could see the match-up I know all you at home are hoping for in game 7.  I mean seriously, can you think of a bigger Honky than Brent?

This is one of the nice Austinites I've met this weekend.  Cool dreads, cool tats, and hot pink.

In tracking down the Uberjerk Space Wolf general, I had to lean over Honky-slayer's table to see if John Doe on my list of suspects was playing wolves against the Honky-slayer or not.  He wasn't, but I stupidly chose that moment to clear my throat, completely interrupting their game.  Honky-slayer shot me a disgruntled look, but seem immersed in his game enough to ignore that fact that I am pretty white.

Cliffsnotes:  Next up, Sweet Pix, the hunt continues, results for game 6, and swag!

The hunt progresses apace.  I had compiled a list of 8 Space Wolves players, but I knew that a lone wolf had slipped through the cracks.  That's what happens when you tipple while you scribble.  Anyway, I stumbled on him today (no, not literally).  I got the vibe that he could be the one I sought.

I was able to eliminate one player:  Brent played a Space Wolf player in game 6, Marc Nuessen.  He seemed very cool.  When Brent slowplayed him (ok, not really slowplay), I heard Marc say, "no problem," and when Brent introduced me as his indentured servant (no name), Marc very politely shook my hand and gave me his name.  Much better treatment than we people downstairs are used to receiving.

At lunch, Brent said he knew who the Uberjerk was and gave a description of him that matched my lead suspect, so I've gotta go sit in on his game next.  I also have to see if Brent is now facing the Honky-slayer, because Brent did manage to win game 6 by a large margin.

Defending the Crag

After game 5 Brent celebrated his slightly victorious tie with 2-3 cups of coffee.  He had ordered beer, but thought better of it before the waitress got away.  Funny thing is, by this point he had already downed a large extra strong coffee and 2 red bulls.  Throughout game 6 I brought him ice water, allegedly to keep him cool/hydrated.  And just now I watched him take beer and clear-broth soup for lunch.  It's my hope that Brent explodes in a shower of urine, triggered by his opponent across the table yelling, "YOU GOIN' DIE, H--"  SHPLOOOSH!!!  After every game, Brent says he's having a blast.  Here's hoping the next one is literal!

SAJ has requested painting contest photos.  Lemme lay it on ya, mah brother:

Even more heroic than Jwolf

More to come.  Last but not least, swag!  I think the minis are from Mantic's Kings of War.  The bag had lots of ads, but some good discount coupons as well.
