At the end of September, my buddy Kyle made and I made a quick trip to Wichita, Kansas for the Flying Monkey Warhammer 40k Grand Tournament. I brought my Space Wolves "wolf jail" list and Kyle brought his Custodes.
The tourney was held in a massive hall in an even more massive convention center. It was fairly nice and the tables were mostly spread out enough to move around and not bump butts with the chap at the table behind you. There weren't any support tables for your gear but it was much nicer than the LVO end-to-end layout.
Day one didn't go well for me... I was thumped hard by a World Eaters player. We only made it through the top of turn 3 in the 2.5 hours and talked out the rest of my turn 3. I hadn't had many problems reaching turn 5 in my games before so I'm not sure who or what was eating the clock.
Round 2 I played solid Templars army but I could not make a 4+ save when it counted. It was a big loss for me.
My third game was against an Ultramarines Marines player and was probably my closest game. We were both suffering heavy casualties but I squeaked out a tiny victory. I had a unit of terminators charge his deathstar with Marnius, Apothecary and full-sized aggressors and killed them to a wound. He had popped fight on death and slaughtered all but two termies and the chaplain!
My games on the second day went much better for me. I won against Blood Angels Genestealer Cult, and the Chaos Renegade Raiders in very close, and fun games. I left with a 4-2 record and 34th place out of 113 players.
My friend Kyle ended up 2-4, and was just 3 points away from finishing with a 4-2 record as as well. But he learned quite a bit from his losses and was bitten by the tournament bug. To that end, we bought LVO 2025n tickets!
Now we will be grinding and practicing for the big showdown in the desert!
