Well I haven't posted for a while but I thought it was time to get back to it so I am writing this one up today. Over the weekend I went to the TSHFT tournament held by the folks at Fire and Sword. It was a blast and there was a great turnout for the show. The armies that came to the tournament I saw were Eldar, Tyranids, Orks, Chaos, and Imperial Gaurd. I don't remember seeing any other type of army. I played five games and lost all five along with winning the prize for lowest battle points out of the 33 players that came to the tournament. I walked away with a full Battle for Skull Pass box set and was as happy to be dead last as anyone could be.
As a result of the tournament however I have dug into my 40K codexes and begun to really look at how to best use the army and models I have in a game. I have the codex for Orks, Tyranids, Eldar, Daemonhunters, and Witchunters so I have plenty to study from. I am currently building a force that I am designing to take on the Nids more effectively. I played them twice at TSHFT and was smacked around pretty hard both times. I am hoping to change that this weekend when I head on over to Fire and Sword in an attempt to get a game in.
TSHFT is happening again in May and I have all of these fantasy orcs and goblins sitting at home now so I think I am going to build myself a fantasy list, get in a few games and possibly make an appearance at that tournament. My financial situation is crap right now but I am trying to improve it everyday and I hope by that time that will be a bit better off than I am now and won't have to be so budget tight at the next show.
On an unrelated note I now have a bunch of fancy software that a co-worker gave to me that I am eventually going to use to build a website relating to wargaming. The site I had before was geared towards something that is already being done more than adequately by Ordo Fanaticus so this one is going to take a different approach. I have not figured out the approach it's going to take yet but I am thinking about a fan fiction kind of site with graphics and stories relating to wargaming and maybe even actual history.
Well I have lots of plans and little time so I am signing off for now.
P.S. forgot to bring the camera for TSHFT so I have no pics...duh. Later.
