Arena Montreal - Armies (Fantasy) [Pic Heavy]

[Silver]

Here's around half the armies that were present at the Arena tournament, haven't taken pictures of them all sadly, I was busy with the games after all!


~Omg~ Chaos Dwarves!


Oh hi there cheese! (Bloodthirster Belakor in this case, with 20 dogs, 6 flamers, some 50+ horrors, we lost to them by 3 points (302 Victory points, 3 away from a Draw).



The guy wasn't completely done with the painting but his empire army.. PIRATES! He is making it really good with the theme, especially the War altar (shipwreck or whatever, probably going to have some 'mist' around it)




A decent heavy magic army of Dark Elves, Tzeentch and Slaanesh.


Runner-up for Best presentation, most likely because of the Boar Boyz that don't fit with the rest... But the fillers and the Giant slipping on Beer (shiny puddle on the base) .. simply wow! Great work put in this army.



My friend's Dark Elves (old chaos hounds are 'counts as harpies', the unwinged ones are to rank em up in combat ;P )


My friend's Strigoi-style Vamps!


Best presentation Army, Chaos Mortals & Darkies



My army. Still need to work on those Dark Steeds to come out like the General's Dark Steed (less plain black, more greyish).

It’s great to see so many well painted and themed armies, The Empire pirate unit was my favourite!

Oh did you win?

[Prince_Asuryan]

Very Nice.

The O&G - it's a shame when something like that ruins the rest of a really good army. But once their done it'll look fantastic - same for the Pirates.

OUt of interest, how do you work the hound/harpies as they have different base sizes?

[Silver]

the hounds-harpies thing is probably a disadvantage for him more than anything, larger bases means more models can attack and if flanked then more can attack there also.

Also, I did not win, our list was balanced, against many powerful lists (especially Daemons) but we did not get Massacred once.

Massacre Win (against Empire-Chaos)
Minor Loss (against Daemons-Daemons)
Minor Loss (against Daemons-Dark Elves)
Draw (against Lizardmen-Dwarf gunline)
Solid Loss (against Daemons-Dark Elves)

We did pretty good for a balanced list in a tournament, next time I'll just bring out the big guns too, that seems to have been what most people had in their lists :[
Killed the Bloodthirster against double-demons on turn 6 in a single charge, was pretty damn nice.
Almost killed the Slann in a block of 25 Temple Guards that we reduced to 2 temple guards.
Badluck against both Daemons-Dark Elves army.
The Empire-Chaos guys were beginners and so we had a bit of an easy time and the scenario (Flank attack) screwed up the empire's deployment.

[Lord Anathir]

you had some tough draws there.

Long Live the Chaos Dwarves!!! I have always loved team tournies, and this one had a ton of really good looking armies to boot. Thanks for the pics.
