So who else is going to The Southern Ontario Open and what do you plan on playing in The Champions event and or the three list masters?
I have lists for both but I am still undecided. My tournement bag is completely full and the casters that I am bringing are Old Witch2, Sorcha3, Irusk2 and Strakhov1.
Its gonna be a blast! As it always is!

I’m playing in Champions with Sorscha3 Armoured Corps, and a Vlad2 Wolves of Winter list that doesn’t have as many Doomies as it should because I didn’t get them all converted and painted in time.
I’ll probably spend last least 80% of the rest of the time hanging out in the hobby lounge.
I’ve decided to set realistic goals this year...

I am heading to the SOO as well. Pretty pumped as it is my first convention. Will get there after champions starts. I am still at noob status have only ever played against three players / factions. Wasn’t sure entering the masters would be a better choice than simply playing games in the iron arena.
I guess if they allow last minute entries I’ll see how Friday goes and decide Saturday morning.

The masters is usually a good experience, so I’d suggest getting in there, doesn’t matter how you perform.
If anyone want to come and say Hi, I have the mostly painted depressing green khador army.

I went to champions yesterday with a Vlad 2 Armored Corps / weird Irusk 2 Wolves of Winter pairing (two units of Doom Reavers and Nyss Hunters with Valachev)... did pretty well for myself (ended up going 3-1 before they cut to the top 4).
It was a lot of fun, I wish I could have participated in Masters today... but I had a previous commitment and couldn't attend.

I did Champions yesterday and went 1-3 before dropping. I had Sorscha3 and a very mediocre Vlad2 list, and just dropped Sorscha into everything. My one win was against a Cryx player in Slaughter Fleet; I killed Ragman pretty early on and then just watched his army just bounce off a brick of MoW the whole game. I might have continued, but I hadn’t played in a tournament in a while so 4 games in one day was a little much.
I did win best painted army, so we can at least say that Khador won something.
I then stayed up until like 6 am in the working on my pieces for the painting competition, so I’m just about to crash from lack of sleep, but I’ll still be around on Sunday, mostly just chilling in the hobby area and might squeeze in an iron arena game or something.

Auraco made the top 20, though; pretty good for a 100+ player tournament.
Skorne, Circle and Grymkin are the most represented in the top 20. Nowt surprising there

Managed to win two categories in the painting competition with Sorscha0 and the Sorscha bust. So in addition to my best painted with Sorscha3 in my army, the results are clear.
Sorscha OP, plz nerf.
(But seriosulty, competition in the painting competition was intense this year. There were some great models on the table and I got some great feedback, so thanks to all the competitors. Everyone who was proud enough of something to enter it into a competition is a winner, IMHO.)

I have the mostly painted depressing green khador army. What is depressing about it? The depressing green is mostly a running joke about my army in my area, because it's not really a flashy color scheme, green and dark greys, very far from the usual khador red. Yeah I made it to 19th place, went 3-1, at that point it's up to tiebreakers and my first round opponent just dropped from the tournament after I won the game, so that's that. The game I lost was one of the most boring game I've ever played, I got miraged out of the scenario, we both killed 6 point off each other, I lost the starting roll and my opponent went second because that scenario massively advantage going second. I might have been able to swing it back to my side, but nothing was going for me, a steam vent failed to kill an ennemy eliminator and I managed to fail two str check on two two handed throws in the same turn, he rolled higher than me on one die that I did on two die, both times. At that point it was over for me. But we do have a confirmation that mirage is going away, so hopefully it's the last time I ever play this scenario. |

Eyeing your 1 doomy z2 list as interesting. Curious if it worked and against what |
