Welcome back guys/gals, last weekend saw the conclusion of Queensland Masters.
Shout out to dad #2 Josh McGowan for sorting this one out last minute, had another hardy run through the gauntlet running into the brick wall himself Mr. Simon Gojky for the title.
So Simon was running a slightly different version of his Cancon list, still using the grotesques but with some added shooting from the ravagers and some more wracks, I was running for the most part my normal carpet list, but I decided to do something silly like add another 90 gaunts to the horde, so yes, I was running 270 gaunts at this one. My reasoning for this was with the concern of the added anti horde hitting the meta with the bolter rule and people just adapting to the horde meta a little more, I thought is this actually going to be relevant if I just 100 models to the carpet. This turned out to be the right decision because even against probably my hardest matchup being orks, they just could not get through that many models quick enough, the attrition war has still been too hard for people to overcome when playing against the Hivefleet. In saying that, I expect the meta especially the top end of the meta to start really adapting to the horde, so as a horde player I will still carry my concerns regardless of the success the army has had.
So with the last 5 or so months of success since I picked up the Nids, Cancon winner, Queensland Master and held onto the undefeated streak, It hurt me to even say that Hivefleet Cuck will be entering retirement for the foreseeable future. Mostly because it truly is just far too difficult to not be incredibly burnt out after playing 5-6 months of 150+ models.
So with the new tournament season starting, ETC and ATC on the cards, what better way to pickup a new and flavourful army.
With this blog moving forward I would love some suggestions on what everyone would like to see from this blog in the new year or if you're happy to keep reading similar content to what I have been putting out there.

AND THATS A WRAP!
Alright guys/gals so most of you may already know the Hivefleet managed to take out Cancon 2019!
This was a pretty massive accomplishment being the biggest event i have played in to date and it truly was like running the gauntlet. 8 games over 3 days was a hell of a grind and to top it all off I believe I had one tough slog of a tournament run playing against Andy Bighead Armstrong, Matt #1 Morosoli, Hayden Hades Walduck, Jeremy Marigold Martino, and Leigh The Bull Abbey.
As tough as it was it is exactly what I wanted, I was there to prove my worth and to play all of Australia's heavy hitters and come out on top was perfect. The list worked exactly how I hoped it would playing into this meta though I did run into one of my major concerns being tau. That game was essentially just being shot for 6 turns while I tried to pick up a couple of fire warrior units and stay on top with objectives.
This was a perfect way to wrap up the tournament season with the Nids and a massive accomplishment for the Godhammer Gaming crew with a stellar performance across the board and it was definitely different and pretty exciting to show up the on the American's radar as they were tuning in on Downunder Networks stream over the weekend!
Moving forward I'm anxiously waiting to see what the GSC drop brings to my army but after Cancon it's safe to say I've got my mojo back with my favourite army after getting relatively burnt out a couple of weeks before Cancon. With QLD masters now one week away we'll see if I can keep the undefeated run going and power through this entire tournament season.
Next post I'll give a run down on what I decided to take to QLD masters and talk about how it went and what some of my meta concerns are which has taken a bit of a shake up with the bolter rule hitting the tables. For those of you who would like to check it out here is a link to Rd8 vs Leigh Abbey.
