This past weekend was the DaBoyz GT in Rochester, New York. It is a multi game system event, including an 8th edition warhammer fantasy event. Myself, KevinC and TheREALricksalamone attended. There were a total of eight players for 8th edition. I used my skaven army and for the final 4,000 point game you use 1,000 points of monsters or allies, so I used Tzeentch Daemons for that portion. Friday night we played seven player Triumph and Treachery with 1,000 points per player. Armies were Skaven, Warriors of Chaos (Throgg’s Trolls list), High Elves, Empire, Ogres, Dwarves and Orcs. There was an objective in the middle of the table worth bonus VP’s. Throgg held it at the end of the game and ended up winning. My skaven were second. This game was worth bonus points toward the main tournament.  Ogres in top, Throgg in middle and a slice of the dwarves in bottom.  Orcs in middle and high elves near top.  The empire army.  Dwarf army  Plauge monks flanking dwarf warriors. The dwarves held, reformed to face and end up killing the plague monks. But eventually those dwarves meet their doom from other skaven units.  I wonder who will win this combat?  Throgg with the bonus objective in middle of the table. |

The rest of the weekend was an escalation tournament. Saturday was three games at 1,000 points, 2,000 and 3,000. Then Sunday was 4,000 points using the 3,000 point army plus 1,000 points of monsters or allies. The 8th army didn’t play in the Triumph and Treachery event but played in the main tournament. That was another Warriors of Chaos army (but very different composition from the Throgg army).  Ogre army in Khorne theme with Bone Grinder Giant and War Mammoth for the 1,000 extra points.  Huge dragon allied with the dwarves.  Giants were a popular pick for the bonus points. Among the eight armies there were 13 standard giants and two bone grinders!  My 3,000 point skaven army   Skaven army close ups.  My 1,000 points of Tzeentch allies.  The Lord of Change is a newly built and painted mini for me. First time using in game.  High elf army with dark elf allies  Orc army with giants for extra points  Dwarf army  Part of the Warriors of Chaos army. The chosen unit in the back right is way old, like mid 80’s.  Throgg’s Troll Horde (Warriors of Chaos) |

Game 1 I played the more standard warriors list. My plague priest got the Plague spell (toughness test or take wound with no armor) off early in the game against a decent sized warriors block and it then jumped to a marauders block. This killed about 6 warriors and 14 marauders. This gave the rats the upper hand for the game. Ended with a big skaven win.
Game 2 was vs. Throgg’s Warriors. It was a good game with back and forth but in the end it was a big win to Throgg. But I can’t remember many specifics to share.
Game 3 I played against orcs. Ended up a skaven victory.
Game 4 was vs. empire and we were the top table. This was a very close game. Empire list was solid with two steam tanks, two hellblasters and two cannons. I had storm banner which worked great to minimize skaven losses on the first turn. Skaven elites were able to beat up on the state troop blocks. But empire steam tanks and cav killed all the daemons and tied up miscellaneous skaven units. In the end we had a draw!
So I ended 2 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw. First place overall was Throgg’s trolls. But it was super tight. I ended up taking second and was only 1 point behind first.
As always, this event was a great time. Terrain and the armies were top notch. It was a great group as well, friendly and fun.

Those armies look great. I saw some of the shots on your insta. How did your greater daemon do? Did it suffer from newly painted mini syndrome!

Yes, failed a charge on empire knights which then let them counter charge. Was able to issue a challenge to keep him alive for a while but combat res from their ranks, standard and charge meant daemonic instability tests which I eventually rolled poorly enough on to pop. |

Love those photos!
Event sounds like it was an amazing time. Great to see all the armies used.
Bomegrinder giant towers over the new Mega Gargant which is interesting. Great selection of models throughout.

BTW, is that mammoth a Papo toy?
I made my own Chaos Mammoth from a Papo figure, and it looks very similar.

I saw the YT video - looked like a lot of fun! I like the escalation concept, starting with a big 1000pt T&T, good idea. And well done KevinC for that Throgg army, fantastic achievement. |
