So, TSHFT is over and, even with some bad rolling on my part, I don't feel any of the frustration I have felt in the past at the end of the Fantasy tournaments. Really, this is probably because the bad dice simply don’t matter as much in 40k if you keep your eye on the prize. I had some great games against some fun generals and especially enjoyed my game against ASUgrad’s Dark Eldar from the Ordo forums. Just good clean fun and I highly recommend it for anyone who’s a little tired of the taking it in the pooper at the Fantasy TSHFT due to dice.
As for the army in terms of completion, I actually got pretty far. Really, only 13 Grey Hunters and the Iron Priest + Njal are left for the troops. The vehicles will obviously need work, but it’s actually kind of fun to be working on something that size and with the unique compositions that constructs bring. I’m still looking into selling off the wolves after completion as I don’t feel they’re the army for me, but I had great fun playing around with them in the interim.
Now, the nitty gritty of my stats:
I went 2-1-2 with a total of 64 battle points (out of 100) and a surprising 37 paint points (out of 50). Really, the battle score didn’t surprise me too much as I hadn’t played the list I brought at all and wasn’t familiar with the edition itself, but the paint points really gave me a decent score. Most of this I’m sure was due to the amount of conversion and basing that went into the army along with sticking with the simple-yet-effective paint scheme on what did get finished. I’m glad I stayed up a little late on Friday to get the three base colors and washes on the tanks as it really helped the appearance that I thought I owed my opponents.
Unfortunately, it is time for sleep and a final picture that was taken of my army at the tourney with the display board I made.
