Tomorrow at my local game store they are having their first 40K tournament of the year. The point size is 1800, which may seem a little weird for folks not from this area. For the last few years, the middle TN area has been home to a fantastic tournament called "The Battle for Stones River". The tournament is named after the civil war battle that took place in the area in 1863. That also happens to be the points limit for the tournament that is held just a few miles from the actual civil war battlefield.
I have helped out the tournament organizer several times in the past years getting things ready for the tournament, and this year is no exception. The two of us along with a few others have been busy getting terrain and tables together for this huge 50 person event. So far with registration only being open since January 1st, we already have 33 of those spots filled! If you're reading this and want to come out and have a great time at a great event, contact Grand Adventures and reserve your spot for February 26th.
Which brings me back to tomorrows tournament. The 1800 points limit is a primer for the Battle for Stones River. I've decided to bring my Ultrawing and play them for possibly the last time in a tournament. I say possibly because they will also be used as the Battle for Stones River "by" army in case we have an odd number of people show up or someone has to leave. After that, these guys will be getting the simple green bath and returning as a new and improved army (cough,...Howling Griffons,...cough, cough). Well enough rambling, here is my list for tomorrow. You'll notice that it has barely anything in it that got updated in the new FAQ's except the Apothecary and Cyclone Missiles which have been there since I started the army. I would like to add one thunder hammer and storm shield model to each unit, but that can wait until the repaint.
