hyv3mynd at DaBoyz GT 2012 - Game #2

My second opponent of DaBoyz GT 2012 was Bill with with his pre-heresy emperor's children (counts-as space marines) with Blood Angel allies.  The GT format had 3 mission objectives each worth 10 battle points with a 3 point bonus each game for first blood.  Mission #2 was Vanguard Strike deployment.  Mission objectives were d3+2 objectives (fast attack units score), victory points (straight 5th ed style), and slay the warlord.

DaBoyz GT 2012 Recap

Well, my one big event of the year has come and gone and it was by far the best GT level event I've attended over the past 3 years in terms of fun, quality of games, and opponents.  Above is a pic of the awesome venue at the University of Rochester.  The 40k GT brought in 76 this year and the fantasy side almost doubled last year's attendance with 70.  In addition to the main floor seen here, tables were set up on the wrap-around balcony (where I'm taking the pic from).

Lots of natural lighting and space made this venue really nice.  I also was blessed to play on end tables for all 6 games of the GT.

GT Week ~ The Home Stretch

Just a quick update as I put in the finishing touches on the army for DaBoyz GT this coming weekend.  I'm using every spare second to paint at this point so my commentary will be short.  Here's an army pic minus the rangers (still WIP) on their display board (still needs washes).

Happy Halloween!

Hello everyone.  First off, let me apologize for a lack of content.  I've hit panic mode with more models left to finish than I have days until DaBoyz GT.  Every spare minute is going into painting to the point of exhaustion.  As such, this will be my last post until after the GT is over.

Games Galore!

Sorry for the lack of regular content.  The good news is I'm getting tons of games in this month with two tournaments.  The bad news is with all the games and only 3 weeks left until DaBoyz GT, blogging is slipping down the priority ladder.

October Tournament Game #1: Dark Eldar & Eldar vs Tyranids

The October event at Millennium Games was a standard 1850pt event and would be my last chance to practice with my GT army before the big event.

My first opponent was Chris (sinistermind) and his alien inspires tyranids.

Dark Eldar: DaBoyz GT 2012 Project Army T-4 Weeks

This week was all about vehicles.  I spent most of my time finishing up the jetfighter.

Batrep: Dark Eldar & Eldar vs Guard

My game this week was against Doug who I haven't played in nearly 2 years.  He brought out some IG to face the DE I've been working on.

Dark Eldar: DaBoyz GT 2012 Project Army T-5 Weeks

Here's the weekly update for those who have been following along.  It wasn't the most productive week ever due to playing last Saturday and writing the report.  The same can be said of the next week as I have another game this weekend.  Next weekend is the monthly event at Millennium Games and in 2 weeks there will be a 40k lock-in.  Lots of games coming up so I'm excited about that.  Lots of reports to write afterwards also.  All this means less time for painting so the final 3 weeks will be a real push.

Here's a unit by unit update on the project army for the week.
