Proxy Army Launch Party

There is a Proxy Army Launch Party on Nov. 5th at Atomic Empire in Durham, NC.  Last weekend at Grail Quest I won a special prize where I get to create my own 3-D Printed model.  That's right, I get to design my own custom model.  Pretty cool, eh!  At first I thought they were into the 3-D paper modeling (which I do not like at all), but no these are 3-D resin models.

Speaking of Grail Quest, I ended up 28th out of 59.  I went 2-3-1 over the 6 games.

Game 1: Matt Irby - Tomb Kings - Tied
Matt has a magic heavy TK list, very nicely painted, and had the upper hand for most of the game.  I could not dispel his magic, and those Tomb Guard took around 6 rounds of combat to take out (even with Mindrazor on)

Game 2: Jason Hunter - WoC - Won 19-1 or 20-0
Jason had a very brightly painted Pink Slaanesh Themed WoC list.  I had a nice triple charge to his main unit of knights early on and the game was pretty much over.  He was a good sport about it, and offered me pink bubblegum which matched his army.  I think my eyes are still slightly blinded from his painting.

Game 3: Joel Flint - Empire - Lost Badly
Joel has a wonderfully painted Empire Light council army with no cannons.  He banished me early and often.  I did some damage at the end, but not enough to pull out a minor defeat.  No Mindrazor which really hurts my offensive capabilities.

Game 4: Shannon Powell - Ogres - Minor Loss
I have a hard time against Ogres with my DoC.  No mindrazor this game either.  I could not hurt his ogres except near the end with a well placed Pit of Shades.  Without that unit dying in one shot, I would have loss badly.

Game 5: Robert Brandon - HE Dragon List - Loss Badly
Robert is always good fun to play against, this might be our 4thor 5th time meeting at a GT.  He usually gets the upper hand, and today was no different.  He was more maneuverable, bigger and faster than my Slaaneshi Daemons.   Again no mindrazor (see a trend) so I had a hard time wounding his Star and Frost Dragons.

Game 6: Drew Snoddy - WoC - Solid Victory
Drew brought a Slaanesh DP with some Nurgle Chariots and a Chimera.  He was winning the first 5 turns, until the Keeper finally saw combat and destroyed his Chimera and DP.  Drew ran a Level 4 Slaanesh DP and his magic neutralized my Keeper for 4 turns by keeping him stuck using Random Movement.

Pre-Game: Tom Geater - Ogres - Loss so badly I am still sore
Tom (co-host of the Bull City Gaming Podcast) kicked my butt the Friday before the tournament.  I even cheated and made my Keeper a Lev 4 and 2nd herald a Lev 1, but he still just beat up on me.  Tom had to back down from our Game 1 challenge to help run the GT. 

Thanks to the Atomic Empire and the BCW Gang for running another stellar event.  I took no photos so you are stuck with my summary.
