I'm all for more local tourneys, and the Hornet is a pretty sweet venue if a little hard to find.

I would score my paint close to Hengl's personally. Round2 I should have had a win VS Dave if not for the wact scenario, which would have seen me facing Don in the 3rd, would have been a close game IMO.

Mrs Colonel: A SEA COW?
Colonel: No, thats a manatee

As I was working on my chaos dwarfs it occoured to me that a chaos warrior without knees might be a chaos dwarf.. so I set about hacking and glueing. Turns out a chaos warrior is a head taller than your average empire man, and dwarf models are like a fat human with their feet glued to their arse.
This past weekend I was the only DE player out of 20 for a tournament held on the USS Hornet in Alameda CA.
