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.

  1. Good game Erik and well deserved win! I look forward to trying a completely different strategy next time as I feel I played to your strengths. Double neg and no Overwatch makes Broadsides sad though.
