Toy Wiz Tournament results and excuses!

Another great tournament over at TOYWIZ in Nanuet, NY. I really enjoy going to and playing in some smaller low key tournaments. Prize support was fantastic for the number of people. It was only a 14 man tourney. Third took home 60, second got 90 and Im guessing that 1st got 120. Chaaa-ching!!! I walked away with nothing but some broken models since I came in 4th overall and almost spilled my whole army right before Game 1. I DREW, WON, and DREW my three games. I feel very positive about the tournament as I feel that I played very well.

I made one rather large mistake. It was an 1750 pt tournament and I played 1850 in the first game. Woah, woah woah! Dont get your panties in a bunch there, hater! I gotz me a defense!When the TO originally posted on our message boards, he posted a 1850pt tournament and never updated or posted again when he changed it to 1750. There is no way I could have known. When I found out I immediately told my first round opponent and the TO. Neither really seemed to give a damn and said pretty much the same thing, "What can we do about it now?"

So with my list being as weak as it is, I have to really use my head and be a better player, or cheat with extra points;), in order to win games. Check out my deployment against my first round Daemon opponent. It was an all Khorne Daemon army with Skarbrand, bloodcrushers, Blood thirster, and bloodletters. Everything had power weapons so I knew I had to play this right from beginning to end.

No Daemons are deployed and it is after I made my scout moves on the LS storms. Note the placement of the storms. As soon as he made his drop, I mounted up and withdrew causing him to walk across the board. Allowing me to handle him a piece at a time. His drop went perfect and even though he was forced to risk teleporting next to the table edge, no one died. Even though it didnt pay off for me, I used every advantage not based on a list to win.

Check out how I used the LS storms in the last part of the game to keep his Bloodcrushers from wiping my army off the board. I would criss cross them in the movement phase so he would need 6's to hit. I worked perfect for two turns until the game ended on Turn 5.
The only other glory to be had in this game was when this scout killed this blood thirster!
For the Emperor!?

Necron Nicely Done/ Toy Wiz Tournament

This is the last army feature that I will do from da boyz. It was a necron army that ended up being played as a ringer on the second day. I guess some people dropped out.


If your gonna be in the Nanuet NY area on Saturday and want a chance to come and beat on Black Matt, then head over to ToyWiz for that chance in a small 1850pt tournament. I always enjoy tournaments put on by Ordo Malleus. I will be playing my Imperial Fists and I will hopefully continue a long time feud with my good buddy Charlie tuna! I'll let you know how things go!

1850pts of the 1st and 10th

Aboard the Phalanx, the veteran 1st company stands at attention in ceremonial ranks waiting to recieve their guest. Captain Darnath Lysander exhales with impatience as the Ultramarine Thunderhawk prepares to land and expunge it's, "unnecessary cargo."

"Our tenth company is not to be found lacking in any way, and I don't believe this is necessary," said the first captian.

"Old friend, do not look at this as a slight on our honor, but as a chance to restrengthen our bond with our allies, the Ultramarines. You will accept and guide our tenth company by learning from our guest. Do not mistake that as a request, captain," said Vladimir Pugh, Chapter Master of the Imperial Fists.

As the Thunderhawk screams into the loading dock, not a single heartbeat is misplaced as the ship settles unceremoniously and lowers the ramp. Without pause, the cargo of the thunderhawk disembarks and walkd to the awaiting Honor Guard to present himself.

"Sergeant Torias Telion of the Ultramarines 10th company, reporting for duty as decreed by Chapter Master Marneus Calgar," said Telion.

"Welcome aboard the Phalanx, Sargeant. I am Chapter Master Vlad and this is my first Captain, Darnath Lysander. He will be your reinforcements,..........and protectorate, should you need them. The tenth company awaits your inspection and tutelage," said Vlad!

"With all due respect commander, an Ultramarine can take care of himself," states Telion.

Yeah, go comp!!!!!



Come get fisted!!!!!!! Imperial Fisted!!!!!!


Here we are fresh out of the tournament and ready to spill our guts.  I dont want to spoil the vid so I wont say anything thats inside but we had a good time regardless of how we felt leaving.  I felt horrible on the first day and was in no mood for socializing so I didnt really get to do any networking with some of the other bloggers.  I got to meet and speak with the people that I wanted to on the second day so it looks like I may be getting a little help setting up my painting commissions website.  I have all sorts of furry blurry pictures of the best painted armies at the event that I will display tomorrow or Wed.  I really need a new camera!

The tournament was run extremely well and the terrain was awesome.  I also enjoyed the mission variations!  I have the rewards ceremony taped but its long and boring so if you want it up, let me know and it will be on its way!
