Colonial GT and the Planet of The Apes Tau

Hello,

I actually went to my first Grand Tournament.It was the Colonial GT held in Princeton, NJ. The boys at Brothers Grim Games & Collectibles sure know how to through a fun tournament! There was beer, games, and ...more beer! I had a lot of memorable moments there. My gaming group The Beltway Gamers had one of our own win the whole tournament Best Overall! Shout out to my man Dameon Green ! I also had the pleasure if meeting and playing against a great guy named Bob Evers. We had the best time laughing and drinking beer, all the time he was tabling me. :) Also shout out to Lou Branco from the Warmongers Club in NY. We had an awesome tight game. Shout out to Casey from VA, Duncan, Danielle (Hive Fleet Ripley), and Dave from The Brothers Grim game store. I really enjoyed myself there at the tourney. Met some really class people.


My thoughts on the tournament was that there were very nice tables with plentiful terrain. I wish there was a little bit more LOS blocking terrain, but for the most part very good. Tourney was run smoothly IMHO. I found out this was their first time doing 40K. They always had Fantasy battles going on prior. Nice set up and I would definitely go back. There were a lot of nice armies and nice displays. One guy had music playing from his display board. He had a very nice themed Blood Angels army. Bob Ever's army had a wonderful paint job and display board. His objective markers were top notch. One in particular was the crate of Guiness! I loved it!


I wish I had my camera with me! One of the things in my check list when I was packing was grabbing the camera. I grabbed the cable but not the camera! Fortunately My man Mike from Psybilliah's 2 cents took a bunch of pictures of the armies including mine! Thanks Mike!
