Just got back From midwest rampage 8 in Peoria Illinois. Had 5 great game and 5 great opponents. Lots of familiar faces and great armies showed up to hack it out. Overall had a good time, wish I would of hung out more but being so close to adepticon I have to keep peace at home. However, I did end up 3rd best overall, Grabbed best painted and Best table. First round I fought, Josep Schmid, Skaven, 2nd Ray Lambert, Dark Elves, 3rd Chris Yu with High Elves, 4th Joe Gero, Warriors of Chaos, and 5th Grant Fetter, Ogre kingdoms. I will have to say that my shooting was a little above average for almost all the games, however my magic lingered several times I missed casting big spells because of low rolls and Blood Chalice helped out defensively more than it did offensively. I ended up 4-1 losing my last game but a great record for an army that is underrepresented.
The two awards I did Receive Best Appearance and Best Terrain Table.
 |
| The skaven force I fought against game 1. |
 |
| Deployment game 1 Dawn Attack versus Skaven |
 |
| Large central battle turn 3 game 1 big mess. |
Game 1 came to a win because of a result on the Skaven's Screaming bell that forces a d6'' move for all units within 12''. It allowed me to multi-charge and eventually kill enough points for a win.
 |
| Tower scenario versus High Elves, Chris Yu. |
 |
| Same turn game 3 more intense everything is piled in the corner. |
game 3 Came close but all this combat between Phoenix's, Dragon Prionces, Kdaii, and Bull centaurs didn't matter. My shooting and fireballs destroyed units in the tower and I won with a lucky shot(magma cannoned a level 4) and won by 200 points.
 |
| Game 4 day 2 versus Warriors, Joe Gero, Battleline. |
 |
| Later turn in the game the DP is the only fighter left who made it behind my ranks. |
Game 4, day 2, versus Joe Gero a hard fought Battle Line Scenario that he had to make. Losing both big Monsters was key to me saving my front line. The DP ran around a building and eventually engaged my back ranks but I had killed enough with everything else to secure a win, luckily.
 |
| Game 5 versus Ogres, Grant Fetter, Blood and Glory |
Table 1 Game 5 was blood and glory versus grant fetter. I originally thought about holding up the middle with my hobgoblins against his big block of ogres; however, I sent them to my right flank. My destoyer didn't last as long as I thought it might have. Additionally I lost magic dice and phases to poor casting and hellheart. This was a good game but I didn't feel like it was up my ally with only 6 fortitude and my poor shooting/casting options.

| Final scoring and plaque distribution, great event. |
