I love reading your updates on your army, it gives me ideas for my own.<br /><br />I agree that we all spend a lot of hard work on our army where as I would expect to get low points on my army (every model looks like a test model due to new techniques learned) but your army (and many of those on the video) are some of the best I've ever seen.<br /><br />Oh, shameless bump on my blog I started. http://calmbeforewar.blogspot.com for anyone wanting a true new player respective on this hobby we all spend so much time and money on.

Poor Stout Smurf was getting crushed by rock hard lists all the way to the end. Even in the last game they had to bring in a ringer because some one bailed, and that dude had a rock hard Deathwing list. The competition surprised me to say the least.Jawaballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188462457051627625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-70331083360007220712011-04-15T07:36:32.893-04:002011-04-15T07:36:32.893-04:00*previous post removed because I can't spell t...*previous post removed because I can't spell to save myself it seems*<br /><br />It's posts like this Jawaballs that make me hate staying in Europe!

And Flek, I don't want to speak negatively about any thing. But what it really comes down to now is that there are a LOT of GTs. I think that with the bar being set so very high by events like Nova and Mechanicon, we need to start being a little more picky in our evaluations. <br /><br />I won't be sharing my opinions about other armies though. I was pushing it with Ted and Bob because I know them and they know me and I know at least Ted won't punch me in the face. :)Jawaballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188462457051627625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-58602001492586245492011-04-14T20:36:18.917-04:002011-04-14T20:36:18.917-04:00Have you spoken to any of the guys that ran the ev...Have you spoken to any of the guys that ran the event about this? I seriously get the feeling that you do not want to dislike the event after all. I hope they can get good feedback and come out better next time. <br /><br />You've got a very cool board. Lots of thought went into it. So presentation should be high for the board alone. <br /><br />It would be interesting to see more of these armies and hear your opinions. I think that would both be interesting for a lot of people and I am sure we could learn from it too:)Flekkzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508641232973488303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-1972076957196990792011-04-14T20:29:48.553-04:002011-04-14T20:29:48.553-04:00Your board was awesome.

Hats off to those guys. The painting competition was judged very harshly, however I feel that is the way it should be, I would rather have hard judging than 10 people gettin really high scores from lax judging. Also, so that there was no bias, the 40k judges went and grabbed the fantasy paint judges to confirm the top 3. So I felt that was good considering they didnt have to. Look forward to seeing you guys at the grim GT.The Winchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00830891736191585056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-17963452113889504682011-04-14T19:46:57.333-04:002011-04-14T19:46:57.333-04:00I cannot remember who did allt he computer pairing...I cannot remember who did allt he computer pairings and added stuff up, I believe his name was Alex(?).

Thanks for the comments. But lets try to keep the comments about TOs as positive as possible. It is hard enough to run one of these things and have to muscle down feed back like the book I just wrote, but to have to defend against attacks can turn this in the wrong direction. I cant stress enough how great Chris and Dave both were. There was just a massive failing in the judging that can be easily addressed.Jawaballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188462457051627625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-51909845427095624762011-04-14T17:21:43.550-04:002011-04-14T17:21:43.550-04:00I was unable to attend and after hearing this and ...I was unable to attend and after hearing this and other eye witness accounts of the event I'm glad I saved my cash.....lol....

It was in Memphis TN and was a really fun tournament against 5 great guys and a nice venue. The painting score was so atrocious that it started hate threads on every popular warhammer forum there was. There wasn't any check list at all it was one guy whom gave you a 0-50 based on his thoughts. He defended this by saying he was a professional graphic designer and knew art. Well I too am an artist by profession and didn't agree with him at all. Gamers aren't New York art collectors. I ended up winning best painted with a 40 out of 50. (80% B!) My friend painted his entire army just for the event with a display board and based and everything and he received a 12 out of 50 and said he shouldn't have even bothered. One player got a 0 because he didn't paint one tank... his friend did. That was one of those E-hatchets you were referring too as I later learned. 10ish other people got full paint scores (all be it random) and had armies done by commission painters. After the event the paint judge said he wasn't really impressed with any of the armies there. Not a good way to get future attendees at your tournament. I think TO's spend a lot of time making missions and play testing them and getting all worked out which is great, but they should spend more time working on the paint scoring. Many players lovingly paint their models and even if they're not the best, they are still proud of them. I completely understand your rant and don't think your conceded. Hell the tournament I lost sleep over because of paint I friggin won! I hope TO's take note. A good write up Jawaballs.<br /><br />LittleBoyBluesPurplesoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822365052983978815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-46633339208303041852011-04-14T16:27:43.667-04:002011-04-14T16:27:43.667-04:00The lighting makes it hard to see any details on t...The lighting makes it hard to see any details on the armies themselves. That makes it hard to judge just on the video however most of those armies I have seen in person by attending several NE events and I personally don't understand the judging. Too bad I could not fit the event into the budget this year. Maybe take some stills with better lighting and do a slide show to show more of the army details.Fishboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10973877566684034580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-87883724548303866612011-04-14T16:08:01.190-04:002011-04-14T16:08:01.190-04:00those 2 beating you is a complete joke your displa...those 2 beating you is a complete joke your display board is honestly the best one i have ever seen.Dalinairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12584673496376090341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-1866521906932298112011-04-14T15:37:19.140-04:002011-04-14T15:37:19.140-04:00Agreed on all judging points.
