First, Congrats to Michael Hengle of Leadership 2 for going all the way
with Orcs and Goblins (picture is of his army taken by Henry Griep, posted on
his facebook and used without permission).
Well that was a fun weekend. In
the end I didn’t with the Hunter award like I was hoping. I did get the maximum possible composition
points, which was my goal. There were
other people who also received the maximum composition points, and I lost out
on tiebreakers. But full points in
composition and only -2 on sports for the weekend put me at 20th
place with my 2 wins, 2 losses and a tie weekend. In the end much better than I expect. It sucks that my list turned out to be
illegal. Just goes to show that I am
unable to actually build a soft, compy, legal,
fun list and I should just stick what I’m good at – making lists that crush
hobby. Also of note, Leadership 2 near
swept the standings, taking all but 1 of the 12 possible paint awards and
everything else but sports and their place overall and battle. Of the 6 awards Leadership 2 didn’t win, my
Guns N’ Warpstone took 4, first and second place sports (Mikko and Van) and
Third place overall and General (Brad for both). Congrats to my team members.
About my games… I managed to
only misfire 3 of the projected 5 misfires – with one of the units actually
managing to survive the game. My engineer
was only hunted down and slaughtered during my first game and was nearly
ignored in every other one, Cary did give it some effort. Sadly, there were no miscasts or misfires in
the attempt to kill my engineer.
I was looking around the field this weekend, and while there were not
any skull cannons, there were tons of ironblasters and daemon princes. I think the meta is really starting to see a
shift between those three power models and I’m glad I decided not to play twin
towers in 2013. While I think that list
would still be strong, the game is starting to see an increase in strong
counters. I’m sure there is a design of
counter meta in the skaven book, more gutter runners for instance, or a strong
reliance on Ruin magic, that could help to alleviate these detriments. For now I am going back to my dark elves for
the rest of the year, perhaps breaking for that stupid Vampires list I posted a
long time ago (at a non-December CoC only) or even a high elf army. Maybe a better plan would be Dark Elves this
year and High Elves 2014 (with Skaven of course).
Dark Elves – 20w/7l/0d
Ogres – 2w/3l/0d
Skaven – 2w/2l/1d
Singles – 18w/9l/1d
Doubles – 8w/3l/0d
Overall – 24w/12l/1d
