I had a pretty great hobby weekend this time around! Not only did I finish assembling the Arachnorok spider for Lance on Friday afternoon, I then headed out to Heroes Headquarters in Mocksville, NC for a Warhammer Fantasy tournament with my mighty Beastmen. I went 2-1 and came in third overall in a field of about twenty-two, so not a bad showing. One of our locals, Collins, managed to take home Best General.
Most importantly, I had three really good games against two people that I've played before and enjoyed playing against and one person who I've known for quite a while and never had the chance to play against. They were all fun and challenging the whole way through.
On Sunday, I got some heavy work done on the Spider, and put down several layers of base coats, washes, and highlights. The body is now done, but I still have to work on the trees at the base, the little spiders on the big spider and on the base, and the howdah.
How was your weekend?
Congrats, glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteI guess that the Beastmen are doing OK this edition?
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeastmen are probably one of the poorer armies, lacking any real shooting and utterly reliant on their general and BSB in order to function. There are a few pretty decent builds that can be run well with practice. Having played them exclusively for almost two years is helpful.
