Goin' to Denver (?) with an achin' in my heart!

Yep. Somehow, someone has talked me into traveling to Denver for GenghisCon for a one day, three round, Warhammer Fantasy tourney. 2250 Indy GT Vegas qualifier event. Since the New Jeresy Trip was cancelled, I figure this will be a good start to what will be my ultimate accession to the throne of Warhammer awesomeness. The trip is next weekend, the 19-21st of February. Going with some semi-new dude to our local scene, and it will be interesting to spend a shit ton of time with a dude I only semi-know. He seems cool enough, but you never really know someone until you hang out with them for 2 1/2 days straight. Going to be awesome. The best part about it that the distance is far enough that I should experience a different type of play style than I get every weekend at the Art of War.

So 2250. Not the easiest or best point value for Fantasy. Not quite to the point where I can take all my fun toys, all the stuff that make Skaven fun for me. Also, high enough where I will have some serious shit to deal with. Double Hydras, stupid amounts of Chaos Chosen. Everyone will be fielding the level 4s. Everyone. So that means a Grey Seer is required. Also means my bad ass Warlord will have to sit this one out. Seriously...if it was 2400, I'd be a pig in shit...however, now I am forced to start cutting down fun characters and busting out the really strong shit. I am running some different stuff in terms of magic items. While I am still play testing the list (at least one more game) Here's what I am looking at:

• 40 Clan Rats, Spears and Shields, Full Command, Warp Fire Thrower
• 40 Storm Vermin, Full Command, Warp Fire Thrower
• 35 Plague Monks, Full Command
• Level Two Plague Priest on the Plague Furnace, with Flail and some protective magic gear
• Grey Seer (of course, stupid 2250) with protective magic gear
• My Crutches (aka Two Doom Wheels)
• Warp Lightening Cannon
• BSB with something fancy. 

I'm not sure what else I am going to be running, but that is going to be the core of my list. I'd like to add another unit of Clan Rats, but points are so tight right now, with the protection I need from silliness (aka Hydras, Trolls, Treemen) that I will probably be stuck with the big blocks that I have currently. Probably toss in a trick or two, but only two weapon teams really bother me. I'd like to have one more, but the points are just not there. Bastards! Anyway, Denver is going to be an experience. Not sure if it's going to be a good one, or a bad one, but this is my first real "mega-tourney" so it will be interesting to see what they have in store for me. 

And so I leave you with lyrics to a song that I feel fit this trip: 

We come from the land of the ice and snow, 
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. 
Hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land, 
To fight the horde, sing and cry: Valhalla, I am coming!
