An Objective Perspective on 7th Edition (link)

TJ here to share a link to an article that I really enjoyed by Mike Brandt of the Nova Open. I know many folks in our audience are not necessarily tournament players, but I am almost exclusively one. Looking at 7th edition from the outside (I am deployed and see the edition as it is painted by the internet), it is hard to figure out where things are going. One blogger in particular has always been an objective source of material on matters that impact people that play in tourneys and that is Mike.

With that said, if you enjoy tourneys at any level, I think THIS ARTICLE is objective and well thought out with out jumping to conclusions or trying to "sell players" on opinions. So, if that is up your alley, check it out. If not, pass on by. As always comments are welcome.

TJ Must Die Open - Final Preperations

Fly back and ready for Sunday.

You may or may not know that there is an 1850 "classic" 40k event coming up in Lansing on Sunday at Evolution Games.

Local Event News - TJ Must Die Open

From Evolution Games:

"Sunday, January 5th we're having a 40k Tournament! The TJ Must Die Open is official!

We'll be playing 1850 with no Escalation, no Stronghold and no IA.

Local Tourney Preparation - 1850

Ho all!

Fly back with plans to get out of the house and attend a local event. One of our three Lansing area game stores is hosting an event coming up on January 5th and from what I understand, it will be an 1850 point tournament with no Escalation, Dataslates or Stronghold allowed. There goes my Bel'akor idea.

TJ's Necron/ Chaos Marines to $250 Tourney, Batrep and List Part 1!

TJ here with a little series of write ups from a tournament I attended the weekend before last. I took my Necrons with Chaos Space Marine Allies to Blue Ox games in Greenville, NC.

Reanimating the Necron Airforce

By Chris Vinton

I blew the dust off my necrons to take to Indiana and it was quite the learning experience.  I've played them since they came out and they are my go to army.  Because of how long I've played them I am able to wield them as if an extension of myself.  Until this weekend I didn't notice but it seems as if the world around me is forcing me to evolve...or devolve.

Indiana State Chapionship Round Up

by Chris Vinton

My theory of people that go to tournaments get better at tournaments (yes, its obvious but really think about it) was reinforced this weekend.  Jesse Z and I packed up the diesel jetta and made the trek down to Lafayette Indiana for the first state championship.  Despite the field being very small, there was some very stiff competition.

MiGT Best General: Jesse Zischke's Grey Knights

So I showed up to the inaugural Michigan GT with my Grey Knights and a dream and ended up coming away with the best general award.  In a sea of Tau and Eldar builds the Knights needed to represent for the imperium.  Here's the list:

MiGT: Photos from Michigan's First GT!

 Here is a long long dump of over 100 pictures from the armies at the MiGT.  I'll try to credit them where I remember them, but if I've missed you its because my brain may have been at max capacity over the weekend.  Here we go!

Warning: Very large pic dump after jump!

Test of Khaine Adepticon Primer Announcement

I want to take the opportunity this afternoon to help get the word out about the Test of Khaine, an annual tournament held at Evolution Games in Lansing, MI by my friend and fellow club member, SeerK AKA Josh as we know him. This year he is running the event as an Adepticon GT primer on April 13 and I have to say that he puts on a good show and Evolution has plenty of space for a huge event. With that said, I am sure some of the best players will also show up, so if you really want to test your Adepticon list and theory under the Primer Rules and FAQ, then this will be the place for people in Michigan to do it.

Feast of Blades Coverage - Sunday and Wrap Up

Final day of the event.  Lets see, how best to describe how it started...oh yeah!

The ear-piercing sound of the ?!$& fire alarm waking me up at 6:15 in the ?!$& morning!!  I swear, if I ever find out who tripped the alarm, I will find them and commit unspeakable acts of torture to...to...  Okay, no I won't, but I will think very mean thoughts.

After that false alarm was over, I made the mistake of falling back asleep and just barely made it to the first round of the day.
