Time to Throw Down... Some Dice

This weekend is the Quake City Rumble 2008, the independant Warhammer Fantasy Battle tournament that brings in people from all over the country to... push hand-painted, hand posed, and sometimes hand made toy soldiers around a table and roll dice to see who "wins." This is, of course, right up my alley.
It's never about the game. The game is usually a side event to the socialization, and that is a side event to the drinking. This year I think the tourney has 90 players. It will be a full, fun time. My cousin, who won "Best Sportsman" at last year's tournament, has returned for this go-round.
My "team," or my "army," or my "toy soldiers" are playing in their last tournament under the current rules. My army's rules change on Tuesday, so the way my army is composed and plays will all change. I'll be able to use most of the old models, but it is the last time that I'll be able to play the list this way. I've been playing this list for four years, and it's time to update.
I'm a little nervous, mostly because of the competition and the nature of the game. Rolling hundreds of six sided dice to determine an outcome doesn't always lend itself to an average dice roll of 3.5. But it should be a laugh and mostly the people are cool (a few douchebags exist everywhere).
I'm going to the national invitational for this game in July, and I'm pretty stoked about it- but I'll have to adapt quick with my new army. But in the meantime... here's to a strong magic phase, not miscasting my spells, and my general not taking a cannonball to the chest...
