Whoa! 8th Edition Kickoff weekend has come and gone...

Rocket Hammer!

Holy crap! The craziness of the 24 hour Eighth Edition Madness (TM) has come and gone, and what a wild weekend it was. Not wild like strippers and blow and such, but pretty damn wild in terms of geekdom.

I ran three events, the mega-battle, the model building contest, and of course demos, demos, demos. There were seven players in the mega-battle, daemons x2, wood elves, high elves, lizardmen x2, and dwarfs. I ended up playing with some skaven to even the numbers out. In the end team Order kicked some ass and crushed Destruction under their mighty fist! It was a blood bath really. Destruction's lists didn't jive well and we never had enough magic pull for our Tzeentch casters. And my Skaven were the center "hold" line of the army. When Skaven are your anvil, you know you have issues ;) Anyway, we got the hammer of Sigmar dropped on our faces.

Saturday was awesome, and I got to hand out 13 something demos of 8th Edition. A couple of games had some crazy stuff going on, which helped me grow my knowledge of the game in all it's awesomeness. I also got to slam
 the rule-hammer on some fools who thought they knew what they were talking about. Suckas!

All in all it was an awesome weekend! I'm very happy with all the changes to the game, and am pretty pumped about 8th Edition. I hope to get a couple more real games in this upcoming weekend, as my Skaven need more table time!

Rocket Hammer! Hell yes!
