Beef and Wing Brawl - Impressions

This Saturday the Beef and Wing gaming club held their inaugural Beef and Wing brawl (i.e. GT - Beef and Wing Brawl Site) The tournament ran at 1250 points with 2 list 'components' allowed (for example a Battle Forged Daemon detachment with CSM allies) and was played on a 4'x4' board.

The Grand Strategery showed up in force to support the Beef and Wingers in their event - and because it looked like an awesome event.  Overall this was an awesome event, and I want to highlight what made it so great and why it is a must attend for me next year.

DaBoyz GT T - 11 Weeks - hyv3mynd

It's been a boring week on the hobby front as I've been scrambling to assemble and prime the final pieces of my 1850pt GT list.  I was able to finally sit down with a brush and work on the spirit seer's mask.

Da Boyz GT: T - 11 Weeks - Calypso2ts

Hyv3mynd started up the countdown last week to Da Boyz Gt here.  he may be the only one willing to admit it is so close with all the preparation still required by many of us.  I have been struggling with a list for Da Boyz - which has some light composition requirements.  No more than 4 flyers or flying monstrous creatures and no entry can be replicated more than twice except troops.

Composition requirements have received a lot of flack over the last several years, but I really enjoy playing in the environment that emerges when players are compelled to bring a bit more diversity to their lists.  The list I settled on this year (for now?) for Da Boyz includes:

Game 5 of PTGRTS's Annual GT, Results, Comp & Missions

     Today I'll finish up my coverage of Play the Game, Read the Story's Annual GT (Check out Games 1&2 and 3&4). For the second year in a row, my final game was going to be against a Grey Knights player (though not the same player). Entering the final round last year, the two of us were 4-0. After it, I was 4-1. This year, I was facing 2 Dreadknights, a bunch of Terminators, Coteaz, and Hammer and Anvil Deployment. I was worried. 

     Check out my game, the full event results, and what I thought of the missions and comp below the fold. Also, please leave me a comment on what you think. I have a couple of questions that I'd like to crowd-source.

Upcoming Event: Last Man Standing

Grubnards here with a quick reminder that next week (Saturday, July 20th) we will be running a last man standing lock-in at Millennium Games in Rochester, NY. If you live in the western NY area and have nothing planned for the night, stop in and join us for a fun night of 40k with your friends. What is a lock-in event? Well, it's basically just what it sounds like. We start gaming around 7:00pm and play throughout the night, usually until 3:00am - 4:00am. Food is provided as part of your registration fee as well as a midnight snack of doughnuts. Mmmmm... doughnuts.
