So this weekend I drove down to Atlanta, GA to chill with my boy TPM ‘n crew and playtest some lists for a tournament yesteday at Giga-bites Cafe (which by the way is an awesome store- more on that later).
Side note: even though rapper’s indicate Atlanta as being “Hot” I’m sad to report it was a chilly 20-30 degrees this weekend- very much the opposite of being hot.
Okay with that being said ( I was going to take my Adepticon Gladiator list from last year, but the new rules for pods from IA Apocalypse second edition have thrown a wrench in my plans for 40k Gladiator domination.
I instead went with a melta heavy Blood Angels list for all those pesky Paladin lists out there, and it did quite well.
I tweeted Bat reps for all my games so I’m just going to link to there, since I just got home 5 hours ago and want to go back to sleep.
More soon (or at the very least when I wake up again, lol) -MBG
