(Incoming horn-tooting post. You’ve been warned!)
Perhaps as a result of the Grand Tournament season being canceled, there has been a marked increase in the frequency of local 40k tournaments in the New York area over the past year. But even preceding the slew of local competitions the players in our club (Battle for Salvation) had really begun to step up their game, bringing leaner and meaner lists with firmer handling of the rules and better application of tactics. When we aren’t matched against each other we tend to take home trophies.
There have been a number of times when we’ve played one another only to knock ourselves out of the running, the most famous example of which was when I played all three rounds against fellow club members (none of us ended up placing). To avoid this at ‘Ard Boyz, our club decided to split up amongst 3 different hosting locations.
- Matt, James, and Bobby (playing Chaos, SM, and IG) went East to play in CT, where they took home 1st, 3rd, and 4th place, respectively. Matt tells me that the guy who placed 3rd can’t make it to the semi-finals, so that means Bobby is in.
- Charlie went solo over the Tappan Zee to Toywiz where he captured 3rd with his Space Marines (+ Grey Knight allies).
Overall, every single player from our club who went to the tournament is going to the second round. I guess we’ve all been eating our Wheaties.
So, the purpose of this post? I am proud of our club members and they all deserve accolades for their performance, even if it is still only the first round. Tonight is our weekly gaming night at the Salvation Army, so I’m sure there will be lots of stories to share.

Well let me put it this way, a friend of mine regularly plays two demon princes with the lash….it sucks…all the time…
Thanks for posting the lists..
D.
No problem, Doug.
With regards to Daemon Princes, they don’t work at 2500 points because they just get shot down very quickly. This is true to an extent at 1750 as well, but if used conservatively you can usually keep them alive, at least for a little while.
I was originally going to take 2 in order to keep with the MC theme, but they just became too much of a liability, especially in the second mission.
