Tournament Circuit: Feast of Blades Results
The Feast of Blades had flown under the 40k GT radar (till this year) as one of the best kept secrets tournament secrets– that has all changed. It seemed like every 40k website promoted the event this year. The Feast of Blades like other major GTs has events not related to the invitational, but the invitational was no doubt the headliner.What made Feast of Blades different from other events is the invitational system designed (the correct way) to pick the best players from independent stores across the Midwest. Image if Ard’ Boyz was done proper and you would have Feast of Blades.
2011 year brought some of the best players west of the Mississippi with over 50 players in total attending. The Overall Winner ended up being Nick (Darkwynn) Rose with his Black Templars. If you remember Nick is back had just picked another GT win at Da Boyz using a comp friendly version of his list. Even with the kids gloves off Nick brought Black Templars again in what looks to be preview of the army he will be taking to Adepticon 2012. Here take a look…

And a large event wouldn’t be complete without some YouTube videos!
So Nick has won two major events with Black Templars what could that mean for the meta (if anything) going into 2012?

Quite interesting that no one noticed that on Darkwynn’s Black Templars list the Marshal is 185 points, carrying a total of 105 points of war gear, which puts the Marshal 5 points over the 100 points cap on wargear.
Sigh this again. Weapons don’t count towards the wargear cost. He is under points as the powerfist and sheild don’t count…
Correct sir! You would think after so many years of playing 40K and reading rule books and codexes repeatedly and even playing Black Templars I would have paid more attention to the “In addition to weapons” part of the sentence. I stand humbly corrected and many thanks for the education. May you find many good games in the future!
