[Abington + Plainville] Halloween MONSTER MASH - 10/31

[Chase]

Damn it.  Now that Chase is playing, I'm totally coming.  I have to buy, build, and get a codex for a MC.  Any suggestions anybody?

Looks like I'll be wearing my Brad Club tshirt.

Daemon Princes are always a blast to build and paint. Your airbrush skilllllllz would do pretty well with a Riptide, though.

I have a couple of thoughts.  One is that I love the Eldar aesthetic.  With all of those big, curvy panels, the Wraithknight is begging for a complicated airbrush paint scheme.  Sadly, I don't think that the Wraithknight is going to be any good, and it might just get me to start an Eldar army, which would be beyond tragic.  Riptide could also be good, if I didn't hate it so damn much (BURN IN HELL NOVATIDE LISTS).  Then there's the distinct possibility of going nuts on some sort of diabolical daemonic conversion.  Unfortunately, I think time will screw me there.  I think it might have to be Eldar.  What's the craftworld with the thorny vines all over their stuff?

[Ian Mulligan]

Biel-Tan. That would be siiiiiiiick.

[bradpowers]

Yeah.  Likely very difficult to achieve in two days...  We'll see what I can pull off.  If I can't make it to Abington tonight, the whole thing is right out.

Pics or this didn't happen

It was fun but I feel like things just were a little too hectic with people taking turns at the same time. Most other grievances are just stuff I didn't think of taking and I felt were too prominent. Such as Instant death.

Here's a link to the Facebook Album.

And while you're at it "Like" us there too.

Um, who (what) won? What did the field look like?

[Loranus]

I think it was a Tyranid Swarmlord for Plainville.

Plainville had 1 Riptide. 3 Changer of Ways. A blood Thirster. A nightBringer. A great Unclean one. A Trygon. 3 Swarmlords. and Other THings.

no no no, it wasen't a riptide it was a ripgodzilla

[Chase]

From memory...

3x Bloodthirster
1x C'Tan
1x Riptide
2x Dreadknight
2x Swarm Lord
2x Trygon
1x Great Unclean One
1x Keeper of Secrets
1x Lord of Change
And whatever Nate and Dave were playing.  They both did really well (Nate won).  Dave had a "Black Mace" but I'm not sure who or what can take that.

I think that's a pretty accurate list.  We had 16 and they're all accounted for.

this was chaos and so much fun

[King of the Elves]

Report for Abingon:

 -6 People total
 -2 Eldar (1 Avatar 1 Wraithlord)
 -1 Tau (Riptide)
 -2 Chaos
 -1 Tyranid

The "offical" standings was

 -Alan and Paul tie for first place with their Wraithlord and Riptide (in that order) with 23 points
 -Billy in 2nd with a Bloodthirster with 22 points
 -Myself in 3rd with a avatar with 20 points

Alan ended up winning with a sudden death match that started with both models locked in combat (with no overwatch I believe) Tau+CC=not a good idea

 It was a really fun time and met a few guys. If I where to complain about anything it would be the locked in combat rule, I understand why it was in place, but sometimes it would be worth the chance to back out of combat, take the disengaging shot, and move to the riptide that was shooting you to bits.

 Really fun event and very excited for next years! Thanks to Riley for running it in Abington!

Nate was running a Lord of Change and I had a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch.
