Time for a Grand Tournament!!

It is that time again. The Lone Wolf GT finally cranks up today. I'm taking off work at 11:30 and heading home.

From there, I'll do some stuff around the house and head up to the GT around 2-2:30 to help setup.

I am bringing the same Doombull led Chaos Beast Undivided army I did last year. It always gets high praise for its painting and modifications I've done to it. Even did a minor amount of sculpting on it.

My goals this year:
Battle: Go 4-0-1 and capture 4 of the objectives. So 88 out of a possible 100 battle points. I've never done that well with this army but I figure I am due.

Sportsmanship: Get all good games and 1 favorite opponent vote. for 65 points. Lofty but doable.

Painting: I got a 65 out of 80 last year, and with basically the same army, but with hopefully a slight upgrade to my presentation I am hoping for a 70 this year. Not sure if this is doable, but we will see.

JR Points, I always get the 10, you are silly not to get that.

This would give me a grand total of 233 points. Which would have won Overall last year, edging out Rick Thompson's 232 point finish.

So my goal this year is no less than having a great time, score a trophy in something, either painting, general or overall and to finish higher than my 7th place finish from last year.

I have pretty lofty goals. Last year was my best chance to win, and I blew that. Now with the new High Elf book out, I could be looking at trouble there. No other armies bother me that much. There will be a ton of great GT winners there as usual, so it will be a tough row to how.

Well I'll let you know how I did Monday. Wish me luck.

Until next time...
