Chicago GT Wraps!!

10/5/2008 @ Crowne Plaza O'hare

Welp the Chicago GT ended today, I went from being very happy with my performance on Saturday to being pretty disappointed by todays. I should start by saying the Chicago GT is a very well run event, everyone was on the ball and very professional, the tables were well set and referee's were numerous. While its lacks the flair, attendance and event selection that is Adepticon. The one thing I can say for the GT that it was verywell staffed, if you needed anything someone was right there.

Attendance was lower than I expected but with poor economic times the $125.00 ticket was steep. They did give away alot of product along with the winning trophys, Awards such as Best Sportsman, General, and Painted are now given with 1st through 3rd Places a total of 11 awards for WFB. The other events where similar. They also gave serious swag away in the name of new 40K drop pods to around 10 people random selected from hat as Door Prizes, so don't say GW isn't stepping up the GT trying to please the masses, Dave Taylor is clearly listening to feedback and trying to make the GT's the best events possible. Attendance numbers where 40K -54 players, WFB 44 Players, LotR 12 players. Nowhere near Adepticon numbers, but alot of players did come from all over the Midwest.

I ran a pretty similar list to what I normally run with Empire- I always get told my lists are too "soft' for a competitive tournament without running a War Altar or Steam Tank. I ran an Arch Lector on a Horse, two Priests, (one being Luthor Huss) and a BSB with the Imperial Banner, with as much infantry and shooting as I could jam in.
There were of course brutal lists..but not of the variety I had been "Warned" about. While Demons and VC where numerous, There where only 3 Bloodthirsters (one winning the whole thing) VC lists where all over the map and new Dark Elves did very well. The top 10 players broke down to 4 Demons, 2 VC, 1 Dark Elf, 1 Wood Elf and 2 Empire. In short the Empire can compete it just a matter of "how". The were 5 Empire Players total, no one ran "4 Cannons" and "two steam tanks" I placed 4th of the 5 Empire Players the 1st having a lone steam tank, the second with both Stank and War Altar, the third with just the War Altar, The last place finishing Empire player had and Infantry artillery list similar to mine and did similarly well in battle points (39 to my 40) I finished 30th of 44 players with Score of 125, Again my Painting and Sportsmanship or "soft scores" where almost maximum pulling me to the top of bottom third.

Game 1 VS Orcs.- (Jon from Pittsburgh) This list was way off the map crazy, 40 Squig Hoppers, 5 Pump Wagons, Two big blocks of Savage Orcs...Level Shaman. Great Game, I took out all his characters with Cannonballs, except his Black Orc Boss who my Arch Lector killed in Challenge with Von Horstmans Speculum. My Lector was eventually killed but In the end my main block survived and that is alot of my points. DRAW but + 271 in my favor...missing a MV by a few points.

Game 2 vs Orcs. ( Dave from Columbus)- Standard Orc stuff I faces tons of times, Two big blocks of Boyz with Characters, 2 Chariots, a Giant, 4 Spear Chucka's ..A Doom Diver, etc.. My Cannons where Aces..Taking out lots of Warmachines and both Chariots..the Helblaster Blew up but with a "6" (30 shots) Shredding the Giant like tissue paper. Hard fought great game...a DRAW at 90 points in my favor. Dave was choice for Favorite Opponent.

Game 3 vs Dwarfs ( Jeff from Michigan)- this was Thorek and Anvil with a gunline the dreaded, nastiest / cheese style Dwarf list. It was also on a very open Desert Table..I figured I was toast so I would just go for it. The first two turns...the Anvil just brutalized me...his Organ guns also brutalized me...I literally lost 1/2 my Army by the second turn. I did manage to take out both his cannons however before they hurt me. Turn 3 it turned around for me. The Anvil misfired and was held up until turn 5. That allowed my to get my main block into combat with his Hammerers (the only infantry unit) and Luthor with one Suriving Knight and 1 lone Pistolier into combat with Anvil..The keep chipping away and winning combat so I had Thorek ties up the rest of game and Anvil did me know more harm. My Swordsmen broke the hammerers in turn 5 and ran them down...one detachment did wonders tying up so thunderers saving me from shooting..I had one cannon left and kept popping war machines. When the smoke cleared I was up +431 points
and has a MINOR VICTORY..I figure If I can beat this list..I can beat anything with a bit of luck

Game 4 vs Vampire Counts ( Paul from out of town) Typical stuff...Grave Guard, Drachenhof Banner, Conrad, Corpse Cart.. 6 Banshee which scared me because I had nothing except Soul Fire prayer to kill them. It looked positive from the get go he did not roll "Dance" which is key to VC strategy. Ok I have played VC tons, have the book..I know what to do -problem is nothing worked, the Dice let me down time and time again...Knights get with Curse of Years again don't dispel until it wipes out most the unit (including luthor)..they panic anyway from some banshee howls and run..fail to rally, rally on the second chance. Dice a creaming me...can hit anything or am hitting everything and he is making his saves...Paul his running his General around solo on foot unprotected throwing 3 and 4 dice every spell ( my friend Bill would call this INSANE) I hit his General with THREE cannonballs and failed to score a single wound, nor did he throw a single miscast with 11 power dice. I killed the Varghulf but it tied up my greatswords for too long and a misplaced detachment allowed his Graveguard to overun with an "11"!!! and just reach the flank of my Swordsmen block...I hold the first turn after taking heavy losses from the the flank cant get my characters into combat and my pistoliers who are hitting his flank as support can not make the leadership "9" with TWO chances...then they flee "17" of a potential "18" taking them off the table by an inch, So on and So on.. I lose by MASSACRE -.My opponent told me I should melt my dice after game...He got massacred the next round by Dark Elves..go figure. Super nice guy..frustrating game

Game 5 vs Wood Elves ( Eric from Pittsburgh) - Ancient Treeman, 4 Treekin, 5 Wild Riders 12 War Dancers. 10 Glade Guard x 2, 5 Glade Riders x 2, 8 Dryads X 2...Board has three forests on it...I knew I was in trouble. all the forests kept me from deploying my blocks close together
once the Tree Singing started, I had a tough time maneuvering my Cavalry...his shooting was brutal, mine cannons went cold...I started rolling "10" on my guess range every time for the first 3 shots over shooting everything, then a couple misfires and my Artillery was toast..had 1 cannon in turn 4 with awesome grapeshot that would pasted some annoying dryads and left me clear shots at the treeman for the rest of game, misfires, blows up. Greatswords break the Treekin but can't catch...Wardancers and Dryads charge the next turn finish them...my main block broke some glad riders and wardancers but could catch either..I even got off a nice Soulfire on some dryads..in the end he got at my block from all sides, and even after using the VHSpeculum to swap stats with Ancient in a Challenge..all it did was save me some wounds and put 1 on him.. eventually I broke...game over... MASSACRE for him...I had movement issues and when I needed to capitalize I couldn't. Also Eric's WE army was awesome..best looking WE army since James Hyde's I have seen...awesome scratch built treeman...I didn't get any pics but GW staff did..so look for it an upcoming White Dwarf.

1 Win, 2 Draws, 2 Losses..in the end....1 decent win today and I really could have placed well, hell a massacre would have put me in the top 10..that's way it goes I guess..a couple bad dice rolls is all that really stands in the way between the top 10 and bottom 10. I am serious considering getting a Steam Tank for Adepticon in the Spring just to be more competitive.

Finally let me say this about Best Appearance. Coming off fresh my second Best Appearance win in local tourneys I was cautiously optimistic. Tim Lison was WFB judge so it was scored by a pro, I got 35 out of 40- I know I got knocked on my Display base and 1 point or 2 for conversions..(I don't have any "full" scratch builds) a..and maybe a 1 point or 2 on the overall for "extreme highlighting or Blends" Anyway...I know I need to jazz up my base...while mine was nicer than most as is and the Forge World cannon emplacement really helped, (glad I got them done)but it still needs more. I know where work needs to be done on my army I'll do more by April for sure.

Below are some shots of the winners in painting for the GT, I didn't expect to win and there were 4 Armies definitely way better than mine and several that were equally comparable...If we placed in painting..I consider myself 5th only because I got more player's choice votes that others with identical scores to mine.



Jeff Schiltgen's Empire Army.. 3rd Best Appearance ( Jeff came is 2nd place overall and won last yeats Championships at Adepticon I don't know how he wins with that army as it looks like to low of a model count for my style of play- but he rocks it..I am taking notes)



Mike Butchers- Nurgle Legion 2nd Best Appearance.- While I voted for Jeff as he's Empire after all In my opinion this was the top painted Army. This Army did well on the battlefield as well placing 5th overall.

Scratch Conversions like this will get 40 out of 40 for painting scores Impressive.



Shawn Welte's Khorne Deamons. Chicago GT 2008Best Appearance
While very impressive- not as strong as the Nurgle Legion or in my opinion Jeff's Empire or the Wood Elf army I spoke of.. The display base thou was freaking beautiful and really helped carry this army to the top spot- while the many shades of red were stellar the glossy finish made it "too red" for me. Many details where buried on first glance and it wasn't until I sat down and really looked at it during lunch today that I could appreciate it. Don't get me wrong I like it..I just think it needs a more subtle touch. (It's a taste thing I am not a gloss finish guy)
This army didn't do too well on battlefield placing below me...I don't know what happened there a Bloodthirster and a bunch of Bloodcrushers should have owned.

Finally congrats to Chris Grafton from Club Night at the Oak Park Shop for winning Players Choice Favorite Opponent!- yeah Chris!! at least one of us won something!!

Chicago GT

I am just about to crash for about 5 hours before I get up to go to the Chicago GT, as promised here are some shots of the display I am bringing. Lot of late nights the last few weeks in order to polish everything up, I would have loved another week but whatever. New Display base- Done. Forge World- Cannon Emplacements- Done, New Swordsmen Detachment- Done..I touched up all my bases so they match but fell short on touching a up few lose ends (my one unit of 6th ed Handgunners is really just basic table top compared to some the rest.) I am running a bunch of stuff I haven't had much of chance to practice with like the Arch Lector with two warriors priests, and a few Items I don't usually use..I'm just gonna wing it- but I know how to play this army if the dice gods cut me a break I think I'll do ok, I will report back after day 1 and you know how I did.




The model I use as Karl Franz ( with his superman style custom cape) is my Arch Lector
I am real happy with the way the display base came out my new miter box and borrowed nail gun did the trick..thanks Joe!!

To War!...Core Comp 2008

Tomorrow I head out to the Chicago Battle Bunker for the Core Competency tourney brought to you by the guys at IWFB.org. You need 40% Core army, an Objective Markers and Painted Dwarf Slayer Pirate as an entry fee. I log alot of hours this week getting my Greatswords painted so I could meet the core requirement with my Knights. I took these pics tonight as I set every thing up to make sure I had it all. Most of this Army is done, I have some base touch ups to do and some detailing on rank and file units but that's about it, I can easily field 3000 points painted now, and, I'll have left to paint are my Flagellants, I want to do a couple Swordsmen detachment and the Empire is put to bed, I am moving on to the next army. Anyways depending on how this list plays will dictate what I run in the Chicago GT in the next few weeks.

The Hochland Border Regiment on the march!!


Playing around with a hand held light gave of this great slightly overexposed effect

Here's my objective marker ( The Empire Treasury and its Monkey!) and Pirate for the Tourney entry requirement.


My Greatswords with a new Warrior Priest...some of the back rank guys are not done as much as I'd like but they pass the table top standard, I normally spend a month on this unit I did it in about 9 days


Oh Helblaster, don't let me down!, Wish me luck guys!

RESULTS 9/21-

Well it couldn't have went that much better for me at Core Comp. The final head count was 32 players. . I had 50 overall battle points and 62 points on Comp/ Sports/ Painting/ Theme for 112 points overall and 5th place .

I also won best appearance award- winning a cool unit of very nicely painted "Braganzas Besiegers" a nicely painted Dogs of War unit. It was nice vindication of my recent slave painting on the army, I now have the motivation I really need to tune it all up for the Chicago GT. Guess well see how it goes.

Here is a brief rundown on the games.

Game 1- Vs. Tomb Kings- Win

I won first turn and got insanely lucky nailing the screaming skull catapult on turn 1, taking out the game and out of my hair. My opponent was new player and super nice guy..he made a few mistakes that definitely helped me. He deployed his tomb scorpion in his backfield instead of having it burrow up into my backfield and I shredded it with the Helblaster. He also didn't know how detachments worked and charged all my infantry (Swords and Greatswords) with his General in unit of Chariots. Despite a messy 13 impact hits. My troops held strong controlling the left side of table wiping out the chariots and hitting the heavy duty tomb guard. He lost the battle of attrition. On the other side of the table my cavalry didn't do too well they all fled or died. I did kill a bunch of stuff over there. When the smoke cleared I was up by about 500 points more than enough for the win. There was a post game issue where my opponent didn't apply the scenario rules correctly to his chosen unit (which was "stubborn" and Undead had different rules than I did), There was no saying how that would have impacted the game as I had plenty of units to deal the rule change..I could have rear-charged the unit in question..etc. Obviously we had to keep the game as it was played. All in all -a great game.

Game 2 VS Chaos Dwarfs- Win

I had never player the wacky chaos dwarfs before but heard horror stories So I didn't know what to expect. Again I got lucky won first turn and blew up the Earthshaker cannon that had me worried. My greatswords on the left flank took care some Centaur looking dwarf guys, while my knights on the right killed over his Lord on Taurus. My Swordsmen went up the middle and got absolutely cruxified by the Dwarven Blunderbuss unit., it was unreal. I made a risky move charging my General out of the rapidly dying swordsmen into one of the blunderbuss units and join my detachment that was in charge range..it paid off and I took the whole unit down, My other detachment grabbed the scenario objective and ran off the table. The rest of his army marched down of my shooters took some heavy losses before killing off my shooters and artillery. In the end. 1 surviving swordsmen and my other characters saved me alot of points without the "look out sir, rule" I would have lost this game. Additional victory points pushed it way over the top for me. I had a standard, 3 tables quarters and killed his general, that extra 500 points gave me an 800+ point victory. Super well played and tight game.

Game 3 VS Dark Elves- Loss

My opponent Alex, was also 2-0 at this point, he told me he'd been playing Warhammer since 1986 and it showed. His army was very unassuming No shooting, No Magic. Witch Elves, Cauldron of Blood, Dark Riders, Black Guard, Spearmen, 5 furies, Corsairs with General in unit of DE Knights on Cold Ones. I knew how brutal the WE were and tried to deal with it best I could putting my Greatswords and 10 block of knights on that side of table. even with all my muscle on that side of the table, I stupidly took my knights away because I saw a window to get my knights at the cauldron. This was a tactical move by my opponent who bait and switched me to then chase his dark riders while the cauldron moved into the woods. Needless to say the witch elves shredded me, even thou I killed the DE BSB in the process, I got wiped out...one cannon blew up the rest of my artillery and shooters got run down inflicting minimal losses....while my swordsmen played games with his other unit of dark knights and his cold ones. My knights, swordsmen and 3 characters survived, but I only killed his BSB, a unit of Dark Riders, and had the blackguard at 50% all my other kills where negilable. With table quarters and my Greatswords banner he was easily up by +500 or so for the win. My opponent won the Best Sportsman award and came in second place...great guy, great game...and I got schooled.

Felix did very well too with a 1st round win then two draws. coming in 14th place,
He played, Brets, Dwarfs then the Fluffbunny winning Lizardmen "southlands" all Skink Army.

Tourney Season

It's tourney season for me, I missed Games Day for good reason (the birth of my second daughter) but I've got three tournaments planned in the next six weeks. Everything else is on "hold" right now as I need to get my Empire Army spruced up for the Chicago GT on 10/5. The 1st of the three I mention is at the Chicago Battle Bunker, next saturday. It's called Core Competency and one of the stipulations is that you need to field 900 point of core troops. I couldn't field 900 core unless I made all my Knight's core (instead of inner circle which is the Special choice, I usually run). I had to either run Flagellants or my Greatswords, which are both unpainted..after a test run of my Flaggies last week, (see sidebar) I opted for my Greatswords, as with a Warrior Priest and an item, I can make them Fearless, have Hatred and Stubborn, plus I can run detachments. I couldn't fill the list out they way wanted with Flagellants as core...so this works better. Well see how it goes next saturday as my GT list will be based on my results there. I still have alot of painting to do, I have 8 done so far, and hope to do 3 more today...leaving my weeknights after the kids go to bed to finish 9 more models and an objective marker, No doubt I will be painting late friday night. Having this an off week for our campaign will help alot.



The Chicago GT has no composition scoring like I am used with the local scene, I expect to see every special character and his dragon mount out in full force. While I am tempted to run Karl Franz even on a Warhorse, the points sink is big in a 2250 game, which makes me cautious
I will defintely run the Empire Hero, Luthor Huss...but outside of that I am leaning toward more troops over expensive characters, will see.



The third tourney is small local one, I am going to run myself in late October. Taking place in my basement It will have four tables / eight players.. four rounds, featuring two special scenarios and two pitched battles, just an excuse to get the boys from the shop over and use the grill before packing it up for the winter.
