My return to the table was not exactly triumphant, however, I cot to throw dice, move models around, and meet new people. I didn't play particularly well, but I managed to finish 11th out of 19. Numerically, it's the highest I've ever finished in a two day tournament.
I officially went 2-3 on the weekend, but one of those wins was against a bye. I wasn't happy about drawing the bye, but the TO decided that he didn't want anyone who traveled to sit out a game, so the locals took the hit. I can see his point and agree.
I didn't expect to do well as I hadn't played in almost a year and never with the CoK18 rules. Still it was fun and I was thrilled just to play again.
As is normal, I got the painting bug from looking at some of the amazing armies. I've decided to build a new one using as many Mantic models as possible. I've got about 1200 points of the new army so far and have a plan for the rest. I'm not touching it until after I get my Orcs ready for Clash of Storms. My goal is to have it ready for Lone Wolf 2019. I hope to make either LW or Alamo in 2019.
