Great game Joel. I observed the last one against Jeff, and man was it amazing. I did really well too, and I am happy for how I did in my first GT. If only it wasnt for that one sorry sport Orc general...

Either way, congrats, and we should play a game one of these days.

Congrats!

I was at the GT too, but my poor Khornate Mortals suffered 1 win and four losses (in one loss I only had 1 figure left on the board - curse Dwarven Doomseekers!). But my best accomplishment was a Sportsmanship score of 51, and I found out it's because I got three "favorite players" votes! I am VERY HAPPY about that

I played Jeff in the GT last year. My O&G army ran off the board after his way watchers triggered some NG fanatics. He's a nice guy and had a very nice Bretonian army.

I also played Jason's Tzeentch Chaos army. For us it was the 5th Game. He ended up with a crushing victory, his Dragon ate most of my army but my Choosen Warriors - we had a fine and very enjoyable game. (we did find out a Chaos Giant can take 5 combat rounds to finish off a spawn - pretty amusing).

I saw your army and think I said hello (actually I think I made some comment like "Wow that's alot of Rats!").

All in all I enjoyed the GT very much and almost everyone I talked to was postively enthused about being there.

Congrats again, and its Druchii for me next year :twisted:

P.S. Does anyone know who played the very cool Dune DEs? I would like to contact him.

Nightblood knows him - and I agree, those Dune DEs are frackin awesome!!! I didn't even think they were Druchii at first glance...

And sorry guys that I wasn't there - I was busy sleeping. That's about the best excuse I can come up with... Not that my non-existant Druchii would've fared very well anyway, I'm like 1-7 lifetime with the Dark Elves (but I'm like 34-2 with Da Boyz).

Dude. . . that's just *wrong* on sooooo many levels

Agreed

I gotta say, well done, you did superbly, winning 4-1 including a win vs a previous grand tourny winner

Jake B. plays the Dune Elves. This year, he sculpted a Sand worm like in Dune to be his Hydra. It was AMAZING! I don't really know Jake, I've just talked to him a few times at Phoenix. I don't have any contact info, but I know that he comes down to phoenix games on Thursdays some times.

Jason's Dragon almost cost me the GT! If it hadn't broken from panic, it would have eaten my Stormvermin and moved on to finish the rest of the army...

Jeff is a great guy and a FANTASTIC warhammer player! Probably the best that I've ever run up against.

Teifion: Thanks! It was amazing to beat Jeff! And at the time, I figured that I would be somewhere in the top 10, I never dreamed that I would be getting #1

A rat dart is the same theory as a unit of 5 DR with a noble in front in a long line. The noble does the work, and anyone left to strike back can only hit the hard to kill noble because he is the only model in BTB contact. Its cheesy but it sure works well against incredibly tough ranked units and of all things: lances and peg knights.

Good Job, Nightblood. As a Lizardmen/Dark Elf/Skaven/Tomb King player, you have done moi and Druchii good. Pssh. Would have been better if you played Lizardmen though..... :twisted:

Jake B. is by far the best opponent and ally I have ever met. Yes, Eric H.'s army was astounding, I really think Jake should have gotten Players Chioce. I know I gave him my vote. I'll try to contact him and get pics soon of his army, okay guys?

Sexy Druchii,

Thanks! I'd also like to know his army comp for the GT if the subject comes up.
