Texas bound!

Guess who's two thumbs, a tackle box full of dwarfs, and is going to WargamesCon 2013?

This guy!

I'm going to bring my BS Dwarf list. There was an update about the use of the Anvil of Doom and charging with scouts, so the list isn't as nasty as it used to be, but I think it's still a force to be reckoned with. Now, I've got to get cracking on painting a giant unit of longbeards with great weapons. In fact, I'll be putting in a lot of hours at the paint desk making sure that every model is painted and ready for the battle.

The tourney organizers haven't released the format of the games or scenarios yet, but I do know through their press release that the WHFB games will be 2,500 points. My army isn't likely to change much though, but I would like to know what I'm getting into in advance.

WargamesCon is in Austin, so I'll be able to save a little on my travel expenses and stay with my sister and brother in law. Kristin found a great deal on airfare for us, so we won't have to drive.

RTT Tournament results!

  I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience.  I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it. 

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
