I first wanted to say that I love tournaments! no one can change my mind on my opinion that If you haven't played in a tournament you haven't truly played Heroscape!

That said, I have a rather love hate relationship with them...
On the plus side...

• They are amazingly fun,
• They test your knowledge of the game, and competitive creativity,
• It's not really possible to have a bad tournament experience as Jim has proven,
• They give you a chance to meet the people you talk to, secretly judge,
• They give a more social aspect of the game and gives better insight to the world of Heroscape,

I have been to 11 so far, and while that may not seem like a lot, it is to me when most have been out of state.

Their are several cons to a tournament that can sometimes leave a bad taste in my mouth!!!

When I went to a tournament this past week, not everyone brought a prize because it wasn't mandatory, this left the people who placed on the bottom, not able...

I've studied a lot to be able to get into the minds of people. I do this for a couple reasons, mostly because i like to know what people are thinking so I can further my own career as a magician.

Unit's such as Shades, and Ne-Gok-Sa have very obvious abilities that will change your opponents plan for moving unique units, and can cause opponents to be thrown off their game.

Unit's like the Minions also have this ability to a lesser scale. This is the reason why I feel tournament playing is so much fun, and...

After looking at the Grok Rider's concept art, I got the Idea for this thread.
I figured out that Me-burq-Sa, along with the Groks are rather easy to take off of their mounts.

So I am thinking of putting a squad of three Grok's on 3 of Me-Burq-Sa's horses.

Once I get some more Grok's and Me-Burq-Sa's, I'll post some pictures of my creations.
Feel free to try yourselfs if you like the idea.
