Happy New Year (Plus some Pesky Resolutions)

First, for those who haven't seen it, one of the funniest Warhammer videos ever produced:


My Dark Elf army is the greatest power for evil! from Flyweight Films on Vimeo.

Here's what I accomplished last year:

- Eleven local WFB tournament first place finishes, one second place finish, and one third place finish.
- One local 40K third place finish.
- Expanded my tournament visits to Fayetteville, High Point, and Charlotte, NC.
- Finished painting my 3,000 point Raven Guard Army, 500 points of Trollbloods, and on 4,000 points of Bretonnians.
 - Started painting 3,000 points of Imperial Fists, 1000 points of Trollbloods, 1000 points of Khador, and 5,000-6,000 points of Dark Elves.
- Administered Tale of Painters of Librarium Online.
- Started this Blog.

And my resolutions for next year:

-  Get into some Warhammer Fantasy GT's.  Specifically, I'm thinking Brawler Bash III in Raleigh, NC, and Battle on Beale in Memphis, TN.
- Finish the above painting projects.
- Start my Beastmen army and work on painting it throughout the year.
- More magnetizing!
- Compete in the NC Master's Rankings.  

Cheers!

The Big Blue Waaagh!

Dallas Posey, a player in Durham, has created The Big Blue Waaagh (http://thebigbluewaaagh.com) to serve the greater NC Warhammer Fantasy Community.

Big Blue Waaagh is designed to serve as a hub for our growing group of NC players, a place where each of us can keep up with the increasing number of tournaments and player groups throughout the state. I know I'm looking forward to having a central location to hear about the latest tournaments I can attend in places like High Point, Charlotte, and Fayetteville, and I hope to expand my circuit as well as new tourneys come to light!

Big Blue Waaagh will also be the central location for information on and records for Dallas' NC Master's tournament, an idea based on the Australian Master's system. Here, Dallas will record tournament results throughout the year, compiling the results using the Australian system. At the end of 2010, he plans on hosting a large tournament, inviting the top finishers throughout the state. It's actually a pretty novel and creative idea, and a lot of thought has been put into it. Go check out the details on his forums.

If you haven't been over the Big Blue Waaagh yet, and even if you have, I urge you to head over, register, and make a post or two to discuss upcoming tournaments/games days, ideas you have for the Master's system, or just to show support for a guy working to make our state community a better place. If you know of someone or a group that doesn't know about The Big Blue Waaagh, then please send it along.

The 2010 tournament series is looking cooler than ever. I'll see you there!
