So when this goes live I'll either be on the road or will have just arrived in Omaha, Nebraska for the Bugeater GT. I'm splitting a room with InquisitorDunn who posts on here from time to time and another one of his buddies who is gonna pull cot duty all weekend.
This is a 6-game 1,850 tournament that has the winner being determined by overall record for the weekend. It's strictly win/loss. However, much like the Nova it's based after, the second highest award (pretty equal really when you look at the prize support) is for the "Overall Winner". This is 50% battle, 25% Sports, and 25% Painting. I do think they probably should have stuck with the 33/33/33 split of the Nova since it's win/loss but it's still workable.

I sent in my army list last week and have been hustling to finish painting it. Here are some photos:
Some are a little blurry cause I'm not so good with the photos at home and while they are Tournament ready I don't think they're totally finished which makes me sad but for a week I'm gonna cry about it.
And here is the list:

I've never even put this army on table top before and only played against a Deathwing list once in a pick-up game in a local store. This is going to be an interesting weekend because of this and I fully expect to make a few mistakes. However since the army is so small and compact I shouldn't have any problems taking photos to actually do battle reports which is a plus. I admit I fell behind on doing my Railhead Rumble ones and that the lack of photos made the final games to much of a guessing game in my head so I won't be writing those. However these I will be writing if I have to tatoo "take pictures" on my arm.
Wish me luck yall!
