Horned Gobbo Results

1st Day: 20-0 Win (Ogres), 0-20 Loss (Skaven), 0-20 loss (WoC). 2nd Day : 17-3 Win (WoC), 10-10 Draw (Daemons)

So the results are in, congrats to Wil, Locky and Pete Dunn for getting podium spots and a big thanks to Raymond for running the event, he did a fantastic job.

As for me, I didn't do to well, I think I could have done better... much better, but sometimes it just doesn't go down the way you hope it will. I will be bringing CD's to Call to Arms but with a different list, there will be Bull Centaurs incorporated into it, Sam, you were right, I was wrong... two units of Infernal Guard wasn't the way to go(it pretty much looked like I was trying to replicated my Dwarfs list with as many big blocks as possible), not a good idea. And the K'daai needs some help in the field as well instead of treading on his own.

One thing I REALLY need to improve on is not to psych myself out so much when it comes to match ups. I look at the list, if I think I can beat it, things go smoothly but If I don't think I can do it, I get in a slump and don't preform as a should do, which sucks because I know I could have done better.

But enough of me pissing and moaning. Even though I didn't do to well on the placings, this was the most fun I have had at a tournament yet, was a blast, got to see all the usual gamer lads again which was awesome, the night out was fun, but the morning was f****** dreadful, but for some reason I still did better on the second day with an aggressive hangover then I did on the second day. Great fun, can't wait till Call to Arms.

Unfortunately I won't be attending Panzerskrek, I did arrange to stay at my mates hostile on the uni campus a week ago, and then after spending nearly 150 bucks at Horned Rat I just can't afford another tournament until Call to Arms. And the comp system (Swedish) looks 'interesting' but it doesn't do it for me either, doesn't mean I'm against it, as some other people might really like it which is cool, but like I said, doesn't do it for me.

First round draw for Horned Gobbo and my list

So 30 Participants are going to Horned Gobbo, plenty of good competitors to fill the scene and quite a bit of variety in the armies that are being taken to this event.

5 - Warriors of Chaos, High Elves
4 - Orcs & Goblins
3 - Ogre Kingdoms, Skaven
2 - Lizardmen, Dark Elves
1-  Daemons of Chaos, Tomb Kings, Empire, Dwarfs, Vampire Counts, Chaos Dwarfs

So 13 different armies in total, missing are the Bretonnians, Beastmen and Wood Elves. Not surprised seeing how they are the three weakest books.

What isn't a surprise is the amount of High Elves being taken, since the new book everyone and their dog will be itching to give those guys a try, it will be interesting to see what kind of power level that there army possesses now.

I'll be facing Robert and his Ogres first up and the sight of no Ironblaster makes me a happy camper indeed, hopefully my K'daai will get some shit done!

K'daai Model

Ignore the painting area, eyes on the prize!

To Scale Picture

Hey guys!

Sorry for not posting for a while, after NiCon, I've been furiously painting my K'daai model, which I'll post a picture up later today, I mean, it is 1 am at the moment, lol. Then after that I got get through my Death shrieker rockets and magma cannon plus my heroes, so a little ways to get.

So, as you might guess, I'll be taking Chaos Dwarfs to Horned Gobbo/Rat which I'm really looking forward to, it will be a nice change and a bit a fresh air, I love me Dwarfs, but, getting awfully sick of castling, and I need a change for once. My list won't be the most optimized because won't be able to order my Bull Centaurs and have the time to paint them up and what not, I wouldn't even count on them arriving until after the event but that's OK, like I said, at least its a change of armies :D. Here's the list.

I think I'm one point over so I'm going to have to drop something at some point :P. But yea, that's the general Idea, not the most competitive list but I think it will due in terms of killing shit. lol

Also on another topic, been doing a lot more Magic the Gathering stuff lately, went to my first FNM (Friday night Magic) with my twin bro and a mate at Pulsar max in Wellington, got my face slapped and was left crying in the corner.... well, a tad exaggerated, I beaten sorely more like it. Got thrown around like a helpless 'noob'. I thought I brought a reasonably competitive deck (Red./White Aggro) but I guess not, so after some good advice given to me by some of the locals, I have a better idea of what I'm doing. Unfortunately I'm using like 16 proxy cards (out of a 60 card deck) which is really lame but I'll have to roll with it until I can get my hands on the real deal.

Anyways, good to be back typing useless crap for you guys to waste your time on lol, only joking, my input is so intellectual and wise that I'm making your brain explode with new knowledge every new post you read on here

.... you know it's true.
