Calypso2ts @ Da Boyz GT - 3 of 6

If you missed the action from the first two games then you can check out  Game 1 and Game 2.  For game 3 I was paired against a Slaanesh themed CSM army with Daemon allies run by Beth.  I had the chance to play Beth in the team tournament locally back in the spring - so I had a pretty good idea what list she was bringing.


As it turns out, she made some modifications that made her list much stronger for the GT - which is to be expected!

2013 DaBoyz Gt Random Pictures



Here is a bunch of Random pictures I took throughout the weekend.



Round 2: Nick Nanavati vs Paul Miglino. I am not sure what is happening!

Calypso2ts @ Da Boyz GT - 2 of 6

If you missed my performance in the first round - and my final army list - you can still catch the write up here. After my first round - notice there are no spoilers until you click into the article - I was paired up against an Eldar player with a fairly strong Iyadan list.  I am glad he actually had the Iyadan Yellow and Blue to make it work too.



As I am writing this too, I realized that we completely forgot Ancient Doom for the entire game.  I am not sure if I assaulted any of his guys with the rule using Slaanesh Daemons, but it is one to remember.

The 2013 Da Boyz GT is officially over. Before I get into a recap of my weekend I just want to give a shout out to the members of the Da Boyz, Bill (from Beef n' Wing), and people from the Erie(PA) gaming group for volunteering their time and effort for putting on a great event. I've attended the Da Boyz event each year since 2009 and by far this has been the best experience I've had in terms of a smooth running event, the event location, and the players I faced off against on all three days. I'm sure you will be hearing more from the other guys who write for this blog over the course of the week with their experiences and thoughts but let's get started with a brief recap of the event.

Terrain at DaBoyz GT 2013

The Da Boyz GT has allowed players to bring tables to the event over the past few years and to encourage high quality terrain there is a player voted award for the top 3 best tables at the event.

Some of these tables are Da Boyz mainstays, while others are new tables constructed for the GT or by enthusiastic hobbyists.  Here are a set of photos showing off some of the terrain.  Some of these have working lights and moving parts.  As a teaser, here is a table that lights up:

DaBoyz GT 2013 Pictures and Video before Team Tournament



The weekend started with a team tournament, but before that it started with alot of volunteers setting up the venue.  Thanks to all of them for their contribution to making the event run so smoothly.

Calypso2ts @ Da Boyz GT - 1 of 6

This year the Da Boyz GT was run at the beautiful Bristol Harbor Resort. I had the chance to room with fellow members of The Grand Strategery (Grubnards and Sinistermind) and the Beef and Wing team from Buffalo .in a cottage on the property.  I arrived at around 9:00 on Friday and had a chance to have a few drinks, talk warhammer and get to bed.  The room when I arrived was already filling up - but it was a nice throwback to college.  Here is a shot from the morning before I ran off to register for the morning.



If you look closely on the sleeper sofa is a Beef and Winger whom I gave a hard time that morning too - he came in a bit late the night before and I was sure to wake him up!  There was also some last minute painting prep going on too.
