Huh, I can't seem to register online. I guess I'll just go in person tomorrow to do so.

well as of these last four models I have completely built 2k of soulblight gravelords for the tourney on Sunday.
I will have played exactly ZERO games with this army.
I look forward to being completely surprised by everything that happens!
(covid isolation was good for building at least!)

Congrats! I want to see that army. Also maybe your list? Or keep it all far away from me.
I'm currently fighting a not so winning battle against collecting soulblight. I bought a couple of "painting projects", that should probably stay under that label. Vampire Counts is still the coolest army they've come up with for death imo.
I've managed to finish painting my shaggoth, and building my bullgors. So I'll add one painted unit to the army, and subtract another (sorry bestigors). It almost feels like progress!

well I'm certain it's not optimal (I never even had the book when I bought the majority of the models for it lol... I'm smart like that) and based my army off what was in the xmas box set.
So I own:
Belladorna (old lady on wolf vampire) Vampire lord with bats in hair Vengorian Lord (the deformed centaur-vampire thing) 60 zombies 20 new skeletons which I'm running as grave guard because I despise the grave guard models and the new skellies look more like grave guard than actual grave guard models 10 blood knights 3 vargheists 10 dire wolves 6 fellbats
everything but three fellbats will be in the list on Sunday... I have zero idea if any of this will work at all, but it will be a fun challenge learning an army on the fly.
Oh and I'm 100% unpainted grey plastic!

"Not optimal" sounds good to me. It will pair well with "never played". That me. I hope all of the batreps, podcasts and prep work will have me in a good staring place to keep things moving forward quick enough.

Sounds like how I collect all of my armies, haha.
I have a unit of vargiests and a set of the skeleton warriors from cursed city because they are great. The only new model I'm not super enthusiastic about is Hair-bats. You guys sculpted that amazing undercity warband, and this was the guy you selected for the main game?
And I'd already made the decision to skip graveguard completely, solely because those sculpts are ugly as hell.
I look forward to seeing them get painted eventually.

hair-bat doesn't look terrible as an unpainted sculpt (I was literally on the fence about even buying her because I hated the picture of the model so much) I'm wondering if the paint job makes it worse... guess I'll find out when I eventually paint her. what I really, really wanted was the OOP Isabella Von Carstein model... probably one of my favourite vampire models they've ever produced: miniset.net/sets/gw-99800207008?language=fr

Don't know if this is a thing - Does the TO want army lists sent in? Or are we just supposed to bring an extra copy to hand in.

no need to submit army lists... just have one with you that your opponent can look at if they need to.

Interesting choices on the battle plans. Good variety. Will be fun to play three games with different scoring conditions. I appreciate that none of the ones I hate are here, haha.
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Good times were definitely had! Looking forward to the next one.
One stat I'd be interested in seeing is how many games went 5 turns. I'd love to attend a workshop to help me finish a 2k game within the time limit, haha.

I also had a good time, despite losing all my games, hahaha. A few days ago I had considered backing out of the tournament due to reasons. I'm glad I stuck it out and joined though.
