NOVA Recap: Fantasy GT

Now that I have had a week to recover and recharge, I am ready to take a look back at my first fantasy GT. Going in I really had no idea what to expect as far as how I would do; I did well in my tournament leading up to NOVA, but I figured competition would be much stiffer… and I was right. I ended up going 1-5 for the weekend, with a couple of games that got out of hand quick.

White Dwarf 32: More Undeath

This week's White Dwarf features a couple more of the absolutely brilliant Undead/End Times/Nagash models. This time it's Morghast Archai and Morghast Harbingers.

I'm a Hierodule! Rough WIP update.

Hey everyone, BeeCee here.

Renegade Open GT prep has begun and I am working on the Barbed Hierodule I am taking as the centerpiece to my army.

I have a long ways to go!

I wanted to share a few rough WIP pictures to show progress and get feedback. Firstly, this is the first gargantuan creature I have ever painted and I wanted to really try to take things to another level.

Torrent of Fire Article: NOVA By the Numbers

My most recent article is up on Torrent of Fire. I took a look at the numbers from the NOVA Open GT and how they compare to 7th Edition data leading up to it.

I also took a look at how my predictions leading up to NOVA as far as the top bracket panned out. I'm fairly comfortable with the results. I had 11 of the 16 armies more or less correct. The surprise to me was no Space Marine primaries making the top bracket, though a Grey Knight list with Marine allies is close.

Anyway, check out the full article for more details and analysis.

NOVA in Review

Three days later and I'm still recovering from the trip. Unlike last year, I really went in for the full experience and stayed at the hotel Thursday through Sunday. I also managed to squeeze in one of the classes Friday morning, in which I built my display board with Eric from the 11th Company.

NOVA Pic Dump #2: Top Painted GT Armies

Part Two of my pic dump from NOVA. These are all from the top painted armies featured at the back on day 2 of the GT. I was honored just to be in the same company of many of these brilliant armies.

NOVA Pic Dump

I got home from NOVA last night around 2:00 am. I'll look to do a pretty thorough write up later this week, but for now, enjoy a host of pics from the 40k GT.
