Back From LVO! 2-2 Walker Recap! PAINTING AWARDS???? PHOTOS!

2/25/2015

Comments

 
I'm back from LVO, and what an absolute blast I had.  Fantastic games, great people, and super surprises!  For those who don't want to read further, the ork walkers went 2-2, and I the Deff Dread took a Bronze, and the Killa kans got a Silver in the journeyman painting competition!!!!  I'm currently working on going through the 700 or so photos I took, which will show up as a photo dump later this week!  Then I've got battle reports from each of my battles, and a review on the case that took my entire army (checked on the plane), to and from LVO!  Going to be a lot of posts, so hold on tight guys!
Picture
You are going to LOVE these bat reps.
Lets start with the last bits first...on the last day, I decided to follow the advice fellow bloggers have always given.  Whether or not you feel you can win in a painting competition...always enter.  It forces you to keep your game up, introduces you to fellow talent, and you will get direct and honest feedback from judges.  So with that in mind, I was particularly happy with how my walkers had turned out after the powders, so I entered the deff dread and the killa kans as a squad...
I got a silver pin for the killa kans, and a bronze pin for the deff dread! (and 2nd in my catagories!).  I was beaming with pride when I picked them up, expecting absolutely nothing.  I mainly entered them because I always want to try, and wanted the awesome photos everyone always takes of your miniatures.  ALWAYS ENTER PAINTING COMPETITIONS!
Picture
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
So unbelievably excited over this.  I almost teared up a bit. I know its no crystal brush competition (and not even the masters), but I was so tickled to get anything at all.  Here is more information on the placing and other competitors if you are interested!  Click me for painting goodness!
The deff dread got a bronze with a score of 5.0
Next up.  The actual tournament.  I went into this tournament expecting the orks to lose badly...I even bought tea light markers so that every battle would be hilarious fun!  At any time during the tournament, you could glance at the table I was at, and get a great idea of just how many walkers had been wiped out due to the number of flashing tea lights.  How many to be exact? Lets say I ran out of tea lights in some games!  Here is a synopsis of my battles (longer reports in later posts, these are just teasers).

Round 1: Justin and Blood Angels Baal Strike Force (with DS action)

Round 2: Jeff and his Unbound Terminators!


The match up for friendly consisted of, turn around and shake someones hand, that is the person you play.  It was that friendly.  If you didn't want to play someone, you didn't have to, and everyone gravitated more towards the armies they thought would be fun to play against more then which armies they could win vs.

Justin's army consisted of a baal strike force, which rolled on the escalation warlord table to not scatter when deep striking next to the stompa (melta city!).  I rolled on strategic and got the -1 to his reserve rolls.  The game would be VERY close.

Picture
Just how much melta can you fit into two assault squads? A LOT
The killa kans got a 5.5 and  a silver!
Picture
TH/SS Terminators hit REALLY REALLY REALLY hard.
Jeff and I went right for each other after finding out we basically had the same style list...his all infanty based (nearly all TH/SS terminators), mine all AV based in the same style.  To call this a brutal slug fest was an understatement.  At the end of this game, there was only 4 models left on the table.

Round 3: Jason and his Daemonic Walkers (And Greater Brass Pain)

Picture
That scorpion is NO JOKE
This was my absolute favorite game of the entire event.  It was kill points, I had 9, jason had 8, we both were unbound, we both had lords of war.  We were both so excited to play each other, and Jason was a fantastic opponent.

Round 4: Steve's Daemon Summoning Orks vs Ork Walkers!

Picture
Poor deff dreads. Always exploding.
Steve actually lives in VA, so is really close to me!  He had his two sons with him, who were his grots in training.  We saw each others lists from day 1, and wanted a chance to fight ork vs ork (something that is a bit of a rarity these days).  Since his list was involving weirdboyz and summoning, I was curious how it would all work out! (since that was my original nova idea!).  Lets just say he got a bloodthirster on turn 1.  Look for longer bat reps and more photos in later posts!

But Greg? What about army photos? Did you take any? Why yes I did! Here is a quick tease!

Shantz also did a hilarious comic about my tournament.  Check it out if you have a minute!  (Just click the image)

Picture
I got so much more to talk about, but have a lot of photos to go to.  I hope this is a nice teaser for you guys.  It's good to be home, and good to be back blogging!  Thanks for visiting and all your wonderful inspirational comments.  They mean the world to me!
