Mythacon Fantasy: Game 2 vs Warriors of Chaos/Dark Elves

You know, I had all sorts of mean grumpy things to say about this game, but I won't.  A lot of it was me/us not being prepared as much as we should have.  I just take it for granted that my opponent knows all their rules from their army book and relevant rules for their modelset.  Sometimes your wrong and you pay the price.  Welcome to game 2.  :)

Mythacon Fantasy: Game 1 vs Daemons of Chaos/Orcs & Goblins

And thusly the tournament begun!  Instantly I could tell the atmosphere was different.   Very, very relaxed.

More Stad craziness after the break...

Mythacon Fantasy: The Armies

So Sunday brought upon us the fantasy half of the event.  I've heard the fantasy guys were a lot more laid back then the 40k players, which was mostly true.  This event was certainly more organized, but also TOO laid back if that makes any sense.  There was a too casual atmosphere that allowed stuff to happen that shouldn't have.  Case in point immediately after the break...

Mythacon 40k: Game 3 vs Double Imperial Guard

There is always a certain army you see that you know is THAT army.  The army that's going to be the worst match up for yours.  Not just killing you easily, not just equipped to smash you, but you know, no matter what, no matter who's handling it, you're just not going to have super amounts of fun.   This was that game.

Mythacon 40k: Game 2 vs Sisters of Battle and Blood Angels

Game two... and we remained on the same table.  At this point it wasn't random draws but rather you were assigned to tables depending on your points from the first game.  The team we faced had obviously scored about as well as we had and we were on table 5 of 7.  I really am not a fan at all of this system.  Knowing your standing really takes the wind out of your sails, especially on table 3.  Table 2, you win, you're on table 1.  Table 3, you need ties on the other tables ahead of you to really move to the top.

The game after the break!

Mythacon 40k: Game 1 vs Orks and Dark Eldar

Our first game of the day looked to get off to a good start.  I was off in the bathroom when they announced tables so my partner Paul carried my stuff over to where we were assigned. 

BACK! And ready for action.

I am back from Mythacon!  Good, bad and ugly coming up in the next series of posts.  I'll be doing an army review of those who entered, reports on all my games and wrap ups from both systems, replete with drama in both.  A tournament wouldn't be a proper tournament without drama afterall.

Stay tuned!

Off to the tournament!

Mythacon is here this weekend.  I leave tomorrow for Calgary.  We'll check into the big event, get our passes and go get a hotel.

Mythacon is a huge convention with every minis game there is, D&D, other RPG's and much more.  It's quite the weekend for them.   The 40k and fantasy events are double tournaments.  Last year our club brought home overall and painting for 40k.  

Four games of 40k on Saturday with double Orks.    Three games of fantasy on Sunday with double Beastmen. Way to play the "low tier" armies, no?  Should be a grand ole time.  I am hoping to take enough pictures and notes for some battle reports.

 Unless I lose.  :)
