NOVA Bound: 2017

It's been a pretty quiet year on the blog, but as far as my first and biggest event of the year, NOVA, not much has changed this year. We're in the home stretch, and I feel like I'm still a ways away in terms of preparation; business as usual.

Bat Rep: Tyranids vs. Space Wolves - Road to the NOVA Open Game 4*

This week I got my second league game in with Chandler. We would be playing Mission 4, Points and Regions, as part of our Week 4 matchup. This is a table quarters mission.

Bat Rep: Tyranids vs. CSM/Daemons - Road to the NOVA Open Game 3*

I set up a weekly game night at my place for the Road to NOVA league games. For the first session last week, we were planning on playing our Week 2 match-ups and missions. However, Tom wasn't feeling well and Chandler was delayed, so Rick and I ended up playing our Week 3 matchup in advance. Week 3 is Mission 3, from the NOVA Mission Pack, which is a modified Relic Mission.

Bat Rep: Tyranids vs. Space Wolves - Road to the NOVA Open Game 1

Last weekend Chandler and I got in our first game for the Road to the NOVA Open League, Gray Bracket. Game 1 is NOVA Mission 1; Crusade with Dawn of War deployment. While last week I was debating between Sporefield and Deathleaper's Assassin Brood, I ended up running something a bit different after being challenged to run a Dimachaeron in a Tyrannocyte - full list after the bump:

Road to NOVA: Space Wolf List Building

On the heels of Evan and his BBB (aka Big Bad Bugs), I have been asked to jump in and participate in the Huzzah Road to NOVA event.  Of course I am bringing my Space Wolves to the party, but I don't know which of the lists I want to run.  We have a couple of weeks to get everything set, but I want to bring something that can not only deal with the 4 guys I am fighting, but I "could" also take to the actual event.

So Let's Get to List Building.

Road to NOVA: Tyranid List Building

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, friend of the blog, Phil, has put together a Road to the NOVA Open League. After chatting with him and campaigning for some interest local to me, I got myself a small local bracket to play games in starting this week.
