Hi everyone! FTGT Evan here. Over the weekend, Chandler and I went down to Atomic Empire in Durham, NC for the second Forge the Narrative Seasonal. We had a complete blast, despite losing records.
On Saturday morning we showed up a bit early and as we got set up I was able to go around and get a bunch of pictures of peoples armies, so check them out:
My buddy Adam’s beautiful Tau army that took home best painted.
Six Flyrants in that army! Six! One is the Skytyrant with all sorts of combat goodness and a group of Gargoyles.
Really like the “Reign of Fire” Heldrake. At least, that’s what he makes me think of.
Josh Kinder’s beautiful “Grey Knights” and “Blood Angels” army which I got to play Round 3. The 30k Death Guard and Thousand Sons looked awesome, and the Typhon tank was intimidating to say the least.
I’m in the middle of Vulkan Lives, so had to check out these Salamanders. The bases were really pretty cool and well done.
My 5th Round opponent, Mark Poole (of MTG Fame), had these awesome Eldar. I liked the scheme, in particular the subtle pattern he put into the orange panels on the serpents.
This is more than he actually played with, but he had to show off all the cool toys and great paint jobs. Ricky Addington’s Hawkshroud
Chandler’s favorite – lit up models.
The eventual Best General, Thomas’s army. Looked beautiful, though I’m not sure I’d want to line up across the table with it.
Thomas and the Best General Trophy
‘ll just leave with saying I had an absolute blast and will be keeping my eye out for the next one. It’s definitely worth checking out. Also, if you’re in the Durham, NC area, check out Atomic Empire; that store is insane – by far the biggest shop I’ve ever seen and tons of stuff and space for games. I picked up a handful of Vallejo Air paints and some Secret Weapon weathering pigments that I have to learn to use.
