Well, it's AdeptiCon week ... one of the more enjoyable hobby times of the year.
I'm playing in the Singles for the first time in a while, but rather half-heartedly ... haven't had time to really build out an army I want, and don't feel comfortable forcing opponents into the slow tedium of facing my 6th Nids ... so I'll be using an army cobbled together from old guard models and borrowed bits and bobs.
Singles list will be Khanderstorm ... Khan + 3 Tfires + 3 Stormtalons + Guard, basically. Should be enjoyable and fun, with limited expectations ... hoping to have a good time primarily :)
In the team tournament, we had a grand plan to go as "3 TO's and a 3PO," with me, Kopach, Neil Gilstrap of 11th Co GT/Podcast, and Ed Miller of BFS GT. Ed had to drop for his daughter's grad, so we picked up a sub and cobbled together the requisite models for the list we're bringing (double guard, sm, da), and are also looking to go and have a fun time. Look for us in the lists ... playing us = receiving some cool shwag :)
If anyone wants to get together and BS over a beer or anything else at AdeptiCon this year, let me know via e-mail, here, or wherever! I'll be road-tripping in again on Wednesday, and hitting up the Lombard Giordano's on Wed PM with a host of various celebs and goobers.
Cya'll there!

have a safe trip out, see you Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to meeting you, and really hope to face off against your team on either Saturday or Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAs for your singles list, I actually think is is not too bad. While it lacks the rear pressure and mass divination that Brad has in his double blob list, I think it is a fun list that will keep people on their toes.
Safe trip Mike hope I get to shake your hand and chat for a bit about 40k again this year
ReplyDeleteBest of luck! I am curious why you didn't take a Vendetta instead of one of the Storm Guppies, though.
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteI also don't see the need for two blobs :)
Wait, so did you and Tony play the same list?
ReplyDeleteThere were marginal differences, but more or less yes. I've been playing Thunderstorm SM for a while, and we play each other often enough ... Tony started picking it up and came up with the Khan amendment.
DeleteMyself and Josh Roberts arn't keen on it, Blob without Prescience or durability (4++) is pretty worthless.
DeleteHaha, Alex :)
DeleteWhatttt, it's true :p I don't like them ;)
DeleteThat's such a different reply from "pretty worthless." You're pretty worthless.
DeleteWhaaaattttttttt?????
<3!
Nu uh, only the truth comes out of this mouth baby ;)
