Goldensprue Cup Photos

Here are some additional shots of the tournament thanks to Harley and his amazing photography skills.

The Goldensprue Cup

Bill's Tau were a delight to see. They have come a long way in such a short amount of time!



Jason (1/3) brought the Grey knights again with a little "Green Tigirius" action. 



Jarad is working on his marines and has a cool fortification.


Jason(2/3)'s Blood Ravens have also come a long way since he arrived from Texas. The Knigh looks super rad!



Jason(3/3)'s personal chapter is a regular and welcome appearance at my tables ever since I started the game. This time, they were Blood Angels. 



A really cool scheme is developing under Tiboch's brush!


It wouldn't be a tournament without Justin's TIE Talon!



Charissa's Daemons are coming along nicely!


Wow! Curtis' Eldar have really developed into quite a beautiful army indeed! Congrats on winning best appearance, Curtis!


Brandon (1/2) just started the game only a few months ago and he's chugging along on his army. Thanks for all your help being the Ringer this time around, Brandon!

Scotty brought terminators. This is my surprised face-->  '_'   Hehe. Thanks for coming, Scotty!


Rob brought his A-game yet again. I was told that he was working late to get it to a level that he was happy with before the tournament. After seeing the last army he brought, which was UNREAL, I'm actually not surprised there's more to do even though this army already looks amazing! 



I was happy to see some IA13 action at this tournament. Harley represented the fallen legions quite well with a delightfully heretical list! The Daemons and Guardsmen together on the battlefield look really aawesome.



Brandon (2/2) has also come a really long way in the appearance of his army in a very short time. The army looked great on the battlefield yesterday, man!






Laying the hammer down! 

We've got ourselves a rules-off!

Edict delivered! BOOM!  Hehe.

    Glad to see the shots made it here in translation!

    I do want to extend a really huge apology for any armies I missed during the paint judging; I know I missed the Sisters of Battle army, not sure if I ran past any others. My game ran into the painting setup and I was rushing, stupid mistake. Next tournament I'll give you a calendar sized spread in reparations.

    Could you clarify what that forge world model is?

    The photos were great, Harley. Thanks! Jonathan, the Forge World model is a Thunderhawk. I'm super stoked.

How Did it Come to This? 10,000 Points of Painted Orks

Image
One can only make so many milestone posts before people eventually get soul-crushingly bored of them.  However, I'm going to make an exception here because with my Vengeance Batteries, I've reached a total of 10,000 points painted with my Orks.  These points include reasonable upgrades, but not ridiculous add-ons like Kill Kannons for the Battlewagons.  Let's not be silly . Here's a video of the army.  Unlike the one I did for 7,000, this does not include a running commentary of each unit.  I simply cannot find the time to do that.  However, at the end of the post, please find a complete army list. Please try to view in YouTube instead of this embed because I uploaded it at full resolution and it took me forever.  You won't be disappointed! I started playing this game in 2010 when some friends and I suddenly realized that we finally had grown-up jobs and could actually afford it.  I'd always danced around the idea of collecting Or...

Joke Armies - an Editorial

Image
Ponies and Smurfs and Gundams! Oh my! Sometimes someone posts a joke army they've built and painted on the internet and the internet lashes out against it, sometimes quite vociferously. I have a problem with the strong objections to these armies, with caveats. Please note that, throughout this article, I will refer to armies which break the 4th wall and are incongruous to the 40k fluff as "joke armies".  Of course, I do realize many hobbyists who choose to build their armies in this way do not mean them as a joke and take it very seriously, but I need some kind of general term for the article. Shannon's Smurf Drop Pod Army Hobbyist Reasoning The hobbyists who choose this kind of path for their army express four-ish common reasons for doing so, sometimes citing two or three of them simultaneously. Cost:  Cost can be a big driver towards building this kind of army. A lot of the time, it's quite a bit cheaper to use toys to stand in for 40k models.  An ...

More Arm-Chair Game Design - The D

Image
I was over on the Frontline Gaming forums chatting about D-Weapons in 40k when I had a little bit of an amateur game design thought about how to streamline the rules for D-Weapons in 40k.  It's clear that the primary issue is the alpha strike component of the rules which really make even fluffy games of 40k a bit of a snooze fest with entire swaths of models meeting their maker far too early in the game. Having said that, though, there are a lot of fun units which are allowed in Escalation which could be great fun.  Many of the Baneblades are really cool and, of course, my green heart adores Stompas of all variety. I'd like to suggest the following rule for use in friendly games of 40k whether the games be fluffy or competitive. D-Weapons are extremely powerful weapons which are not only deadly to the enemy but are also dangerous to operate. The power sources and mechanisms involved are among the most arcane and complicated in all the galaxy. As such, these powerf...
