Midwest Melee II (Omaha area) 10/8/22

[Garenex]

Thank you all for attending. We ended up with 13 players, though between byes and arriving late I think one player only got in on 1 actual game.



Armies played, in the order of standings:

Spoiler Alert!

Matthias: Death Chasers x3, Ogre Warhulk, Ogre Pulviser, Nilfheim

M1: Heavies x1, Ornak, Tornak, Nerak, Marcu, Fen, Frost Giant
J1: Jotun, Fen, Raelin (RotV), Q10, Dumutef

We were surprised to not see any Axegrinders at this event. However, that may have been due to people just not having them in their collections or not having experience with them in general, due to this crowd generally being less experienced.

Most common units were Raelin (6) and Fen Hydra (5). Several other units, such Nilf, Q9, and IG all had 3-4 showings.

Asked over message but probably good to clarify on the thread--will C3V/SOV be allowed?

Good to clarify. No customs or Marvel.

[Matthias Maccabeus]

I'll be there will my brood (all 6 of them....sigh) 2 of them will be playing as well.
Raider30 is interested.
Matthias' Boss is interested.
Justin said he's in.
JustChris is planning on coming as well.
Also I'm talking to the rest of the Ken Con guys. I'm hoping at least a few of them will be available.

Looking forward to it. 11 figures doesn't let me run 25 Dumutefs. That's disappointing...

Why don't you run 11 of them? I'm sure you'll be fine being 325 points short.

That does sound like something I would do... The question is do we have 25 Dumutefs so 14 can watch the other 11 lose...

[Vecna]

I will likely work that day but I will try and come by to meet the local Heroscape scene as I am a returning player from the game's inception. I would love the oppurtunity to meet some new friends!

[Monge1993]

I will be there if nothing comes up work wise! I commented in the discord a few days ago but was having some trouble with my account! Looking forward to meeting everyone!
