And it was another great event! Big congratz to the champ, Paul McKelvey who defeated Geoff InControl Robinson in a Tyranid vs. Tau finals. The Tau pulled it off. The team had a ton of fun and really enjoyed ourselves. More upadtes to come soon!

nice one Geoff 😛
What? Geoff made it to the final? The opposistion must have been soft as shit! 😉
Nah, fair play, I actually gave him a shout-out on my page Archon Timaton saying pretty much that he was making those bugs work like he was some kind of insectoid pimp, which he may just be. good to see him sticking to his guns with his army choice and you can’t get much sexier than Geoff and some Yellow-Jacket ‘Nids. Unless maybe Geoff himself was painted by FLG!
I take it Frankie chose not to win?
Was it pure Tau?
Yes, with lots of crisis suits, I believe.
He had tons of Tetras, 2 Riptides and some Broadsides.
Sounds legit. I also completely spaced on the fact that 7th edition means no more taudar. Me dumb.
Well, no more in the sense that they can’t join together in units; they’re still a pretty solid combo.
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE
😛
Yup.
Wow, Great Work Geoff!
Which critter was Most Vauable Gribbly for the Nids?
Hierodule does work 🙂
That thing is the bane of my existence!
Way to go Geoff! How did everyone else do? I tried to find results but couldn’t find anything.
Looks like I placed third overall based on what I was told. Had a great game against rawdogger (maintaing our record). Happy with my list and performance. I think the level of competition at this tournament is up there
Nids in 1st and 2nd, well done, Vince!
Josh was the next highest placing member of the team, I was 3rd.
Congrats to Geoff. I always love to see the bugs doing well!
Congrats Geoff!!! Sorry tau got you in the end, but great to see the yellow stingers doing so well!
With FW and the Heirodule, they are scary indeed.
Any pictures??
Congrats to Geoff and his bugs. How did the rest of the T0C team do?
I went 3-1-1 with a goofy AM list, Frankie 2-3 with Daemon Factory, Dan went 2-2-1 with White Scar bikers, Israel went 3-2 with Tau, I don’t remember how Josh did, actually.
What was that goofy AM List?
I had just a mishmash of stuff. A Lord Commissar with a Power Fist, a blob squad, Vets in a Taurox, Vendetta, Vulcher, Wyvern, Baneblade, Knight.
The Baneblade was mediocre at best. I brought it for fun as I have never used it in a tournament before, but I think it will be going back on the shelf for the time being =P
I see they banned the HellHammer! I played against that with my Guard a few weeks ago. Only reason I got rid of it was I got the 4++ save on my blob from divination. That thing is wicked.
Regular Baneblade is kinda shoddy for the points.
Yeah, Hellhammer is a bit much. And the Baneblade is lame for pits points, lol, just look at the Fellblade to see why, haha.
I went 3-2 with Sons of Horus counts as Iron Hands!!
Yeah, and all your games were over in under 40 minutes! lol
I could have gotten two more games in this tournament easy lol
Yeah, no kidding, lol!
What no elder? I thought they were the kings!???
Eldar got like, 2nd and 4th, I think.
Armies at Brawl in the Fall 2014 http://inthenameofsanguinius.blogspot.com/2014/10/armies-at-brawl-in-fall-2014.html
I went 4-1 btw Reece forgot to include that 😉
Looking forward to Frankie’s write up on how the Daemon Factory failed. 😉
Congrats to InControl!
Me too!
Thank you all btw <3 I am super stoked with how I did.. wish I would have won but I can feel that win coming on!
Well done man. Anything different about your list? You really rate the dule don’t you… Why not take a harradin?
The Harridan isn’t allowed under BAO rules.
Congrats Geoff! You’re on a roll!
Here is list from Julio’s blog with the top ten. He takes some good pics of all the armies too

I was wondering what you put together Reece. I was looking forward to seeing how your scouts n assasins army would have done hopefully you can take that out sometime.
I’m surprised daemon factory didn’t do better, I’m looking forward to more details on that
Did nids get to take both formations? In this tournament? Or did he just do a flying circus build?
Yeah, my Scouts and Assassins list wasn’t painted, I’ve been too busy. SO I grabbed some Random AM stuff and a Knight. It was fun.
Vince took Nids+Living Artillery
Geoff took Nids+Nids Allies
Both took a Malanthrope and Heirodule.
Did I miss the memo, what does the hierodule do that makes it so cool?
6 Wounds. Str10, T8. 3+. Shoots 2 str10 ap3 heavy 6 weapons.
Don’t forget FNP 🙂
How many points?
I think around 600, unless they totally revamped it with the new IA4 version.
Also, hilariously, I discovered that a hierodule is the greek name for a sacred prostitute. LOL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_prostitution
A lot of the Tyranid names are various sorts of gendered epithets. Harpy, Harridan, Termagant, and Crone all spring to mind.
Huh, you’re right. :/
Umm, don’t forget the Dominatrix!
What was Josh’s Space Marines army?
Tyrannic war vets formation and white scars
No wave serpent in the final list? Impressive. I was honestly expecting some.
4th and 5th place had Serpents
From what I heard you couldn’t fall down without hitting a Knight as well…
When will the ITC standings get updated?
As soon as I get the results.
Was the Firebase formation a deciding factor in the winning Tau army? My local TO is looking at allowing formations but things like the Fire cadre has him doubting.
The fire base cadre is only useful against tanks and marines. It was of no benefit to me in my last two games.
