Back from NOVA!

Made it back from NOVA last weekend and barring some shenanigans on the part of United on the return flight (imagine that), the whole trip was an absolute blast!

The charity auctions went over like gangbusters, and as of Saturday night they were well on their way to smashing previous year's records.

I managed to beat last year's win/loss record of 0-7 by going 2-1-5 instead. It was a miracle! Granted on the 5 that I did lose I was tabled by turn 4 on four of them, but every game was nonetheless an absolute blast. A couple highlights:

Facing down Todd Sherman's absolutely gorgeous Raven Guard was a particular highlight of the weekend for me. Staring down the barrels of the superheavy probably wasn't the best tactical use of my terminators, however!

One of several grudge match games vs. a friend's Custodes. Tabled once and nearly again the second time. The boys in gold are dynamite!

A rather fun doubles match with my Thousand Sons and Zhao-Arkkad Mechanicum vs. a spectactular Imperial Fists and Loyalist Mechanicum force.

Quite possibly the most savage whooping that I've taken - Faced of against a beautifully painted Ultramarines army that just took my army apart. Was nearly tabled by the bottom of turn two - Just couldn't make a saving throw, or a morale check. Apparently Tzeentch deemed it was crucial that they lost that game!

As usual, my photos were all pretty poor, but if you want to check out the gallery here's the ones that weren't totally worthless! You're better off however checking out Todd's Galleries at SincaiN40k and Greg's Galleries over at Feed Your Nerd instead - better shots of all the stuff!

I also took a couple classes from Roman over at Massive Voodoo which absolutely blew my mind (gotta do more classes at events like these), and picked up a fair bit of stuff at the Forge World booth for the upcoming Sons of Horus project. Been itching to get started on 'em!

Speaking of, as is always the case my current army goes up on the auction block to help fund the next army, so if you're interested in a Thousand Sons Orbital Assault Force, the Khamasiin is currently up on ebay!
