WaaaghPaca 2013: Round #2 - Vampire Counts

For Round 2 of the tournament I played Rick Uebler.

Rick is from Club Autobreak and brought the Club Autobreak Zombie Apolcalypse list. Their club put together a tournament themed list that was played by no less than seven players. Imagine, seven players playing the exact same zombie-themed list.

Alamo GT 2012 - Round 2: Vampire Counts

For Round 2 of the Alamo I got to play Kevin Hopkins. I took a picture of him but it came out too blurry. Kevin, if you are reading this, I am sorry. I will try and take better pictures in the future. But the pictures of our game came out much better, so there is that.

Kevin is a nice, younger player, who was travelling for his first ever large GT-style tournament. Though travelling for him was a quick drive south as he lives and plays in Texas. He told me this was also his first five-game tournament so he was really looking forward to playing a lot of games against people he wouldn't normally have a chance to play (which I think is one of the best aspects of Warhammer tournaments).

Kevin was playing what I expect to become a pretty standard Vampire Counts list after the new FAQ, meaning that it had good units that could tie up other combat blocks while the two (yes, two) Terrorgheists screamed their undead hearts out. When I designed a similar army I went a little more scream heavy, and did not take the ghouls or a Strigoi, but for an all-comers list, I liked Kevin's design.

I also really enjoyed talking to Kevin throughout this game about tournaments, Warhammer, and other general nerd stuff. The start of Round 2 was when the beer maiden started making her rounds so Kevin and I were able to get in some drinking throughout the game which made us both a little bit more congenial and talkative. At one point I remember I was shouting at the Terrorgheists for their amazing luck (as you will soon see). As such, this game was the antithesis of my Round 1 game, and for that I was eternally grateful.

This was Kevin's Vampire Counts list:
