Coming out of FoB I definitely think I have what it takes to win it so if finances permit, I'll try again next year =). Looking forward to playing you again, as always-safe travels!<br /><br />@JRBunn, I was the Eldar player who had the converted "Eldar" Aegis line and everything in my army was Iyanden theme (Yellow/Blue). I was also the guy who looked scraggly with a moustache and chops if that means anything =). I'll have to make it a point to say hi to ya next time I come by!<br /><br />@Colin, I am seriously considering the LVO, so if I go I'd love to meet up with you and maybe get a fun game in!<br /><br />@Swanson, thanks for the words of sympathy/encouragement but I still can't help complain about the distribution of the objectives. Primarily because I tried so hard to get up there and kept rolling a 1 on run moves! Plus, my bikes would have died horribly had I shot them up to contest an objective (we rolled it out and I would have rolled terribad on my saves/ld lol). Oh well, better luck next time!<br /><br />@Skaltar, I had a great time and played some fun opponents for the most part so I encourage everyone to try out FoB at least once!

That year, I also brought a highly synergistic army that runs not on brute force, but the finesse of its general - my Tyranids. I also ended with a 5-1-1 record and came out 9th out of 144 players (though I am somewhat proud of the fact that I won Best Tyranids). My draw was I game that I was winning and should have won, however, my flyrant turned out to be just fractions of an inch outside of my opponent's deployment zone, thus depriving me of Linebreaker and the win. And I also played a couple of players of note - Alex, who was the winner of the FoB 2012 with his Tzeentch screamer/flamer-spam daemons, as well as Blackmoor's Draigowing. <br /><br />Anyways, congrats on a very good run at the FoB. <br />jy2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00707283800659862260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-64991474859245466332013-10-16T08:29:26.491-07:002013-10-16T08:29:26.491-07:00Glad you enjoyed the tournament, and we look forwa...Glad you enjoyed the tournament, and we look forward to seeing you next year!

But not the spread of objectives. As you put it you need to have a take all comers list. That also includes being able to get the high point objectives in a scouring game and hold the relic in a relic game. These game sort of balance out all the super firepower lists out there by making them go take things. I love the write up great job at the tourney.swanson4969https://www.blogger.com/profile/12102138994499485582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-18163560506897208552013-10-14T04:37:53.124-07:002013-10-14T04:37:53.124-07:00Nice write up, I couldn't agree more with the ...Nice write up, I couldn't agree more with the points you raised. For me the most important aspect of the hobby in to firstly enjoy yourself and have a good time. Winning isn't the be all end all that so many players think nowadays.<br />Glad you had a good time.Skaltarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543486536990263533noreply@blogger.com
