Last week end was the 2017 edition of Chaos Ludik in Montreal (Qc) and it was my first time attending. It was a great week end, with events for Age of Sigmar, Warhammer 40k, Blood Bowl, Warmahordes, Infinity, Saga and Guildball. There also was a painting competition in the building next door.
I participated in the Warmahordes Casual event, which was a smaller, 50 points Steamroller. Most of my friends were competing in either the Blood Bowl tournament, the Age of Sigmar tournaments (yes, plural) or the Warmahordes Masters Steamroller, but my friend Jocelyn M. was in the Casual with me, and so far he is 2-0 with his Retribution of Scyrah army againt me so I really was hoping to face him and get my revenge.
I only had 1 list, playing Reznik1 and my list was 100% painted.
I won’t go into details as I don’t remember everthing that has happend during the games. My first game was against a fellow Menoth player who dropped a Kreoss2 and he won by assassination after a very effective Feat on his part. My second game was against Khador led by Sorscha1. My opponent was still learning the ropes and he gave his all but he failed his assassiantion run (I opened my Warcaster a little, and in my opinion he might have used his Feat 1 turn too early) so even after he fled using Wind Rush, I was able to charge his Warcaster with Reznik using Engine of Destruction and I won by assassination.
My last game was the match up I was hoping for, Jocelyn. He is an awesome guy and a great opponent so I know I was in for a fun time. He dropped Ossyan, with a few warjacks and units I had never faced before. Unforunately for him, the dice were not, but really not on his side. I have had some bad rolls before, but rarely of this level. Jocelyn tried his absolute best to keep on smiling, but as he said himself, he “tilted” and it threw him of his game. As his clock went down and down he went “All or nothing” but could not do enough damage to successfully pull an assassination run. I let Reznik do what he does best, and wracked Ossyan.
I was shooting for either Best Sportmanship or Best Painting, and I learned that there was no prize for Best Sport. I hope my painting, finished at 1 AM before the tournament, was good enough… and it was! I finished 4th overall but took home the medal for Best Painted.
Above are two pics of my army taken by the event’s photographer. I’ll have to take more myself as I have finished painting Reznik1, an Allegiant of the Order of the Fist, a Reckoner Heavy Wajack, a Guardian Heavy Warjack, Wracks and a full unit of Temple Flameguards.
