Pick & Ban – round 4

Here's the final round of Pick and Ban! This week I'm again up against Protectorate of Menoth, this time with Durst1 TFM / Severius1 TFM / High Reclaimer1 GotT.

Quarantine Machine 3

I keep cycling through playing different lists against the usual opponent, but this time I'm not even playing Asphyxious the Sanctified! This time, I wanted to try out some different jank.

Belgian Masters XXXL

The Belgian Masters XXX had transformed to an XXXL edition this year. There were multiple events per day with most of them offering 1 or more spots to compete in the invitational on Sunday. I had a bought a bunch of casters to the event, of which I was planning of maining my Skarre 1 in DH, paired with whatever tickled my fancy.

Total sell-out

I really needed to rack up some wins if I wanted to get into a WTC team, so this time I approached the tournament in a different way. I took 1 safe list, that I knew was powerful and for which I had a good idea of its good matchups, and take 1 list that I was interested in trying out. The theory being that I could drop the latter when I felt comfortable to do so, or I was already losing too much anyway. In practice however, this just meant that I played the former all day...

Paris Masters

The Paris Masters were last weekend and I jumped at the opportunity to pump out a bunch of games (6) over the weekend. The event required fully painted lists, so I took my WTC lists for one last spin before they will retire, at least for a while.

pre-WTC games

I did play some more games in the week before the WTC, but didn't have/make time to post about them before. This'll be mostly from memory and some minor notes, so bear with me.

WTC 2019

So the event of the year has come and gone. I'm honestly quite pleased with how I did this year, getting an adequate 4-2 personal record and delivering my team to the best result our country has ever achieved!

Cryx Theme Apocapalooza! (updated)

We finally got some juicy spoilers for the post-Oblivion Cryx themes, so I thought now might be a good time to write a post about it. For those that don't know, basically Privateer Press is revamping the way themes work. Instead of gaining 1 free of slot for taking X points of Y, you will get 1 Requisition point per 25 points of game size, which can then be spent on taking free options. This means that, when playing a 75-point game, you will get 3 of these Requisition points, which would be like most people are building lists now. The difference is that we're no longer limited to taking X of Y, but can freely mix and match whatever we feel works best in any given list and still get some free stuff out of it.

The end of Harbinger’s reign of terror?

I got another game into my favourite matchup again the other day: Harbinger of Menoth. Woohoo...! I need the practice anyway, so might as well do it, I guess.
