Shout-outs!

Shout-outs!

It has been a while since I made a post. Sorry about that. I do want to give some credits to the amazing tournaments I went to the last few weeks. 

Store Championship Charleroi

A few weekends ago I flew Dengar/Nym for the first time at the Store Championship in at Ludotrotter in Charleroi. I played Fabrice, Jean-Christophe, Arnaud, Laurent and Benoit and went 2-3 finishing 13th out of 23.


I flew Dengar/Nym, but without any previous experience. I'm a quite aggressive player and my Nym usually doesn't survive it to round 3 as I fail to keep it out of arcs. Dengar on the other hand is a beast with a very good action-economy. There is a reason this list is doing so good in the current meta. 

Rostbaerdt Cup

The weekend after there was a small 60-point at Demo-Spel. Great fun with some really good players. I went for fun and giggles and brought Death! Off course if the opponents all continue to roll 3 blanksies on those Proximity Mines it doesn't do as much Death :). 


With a 1-3 record I came in 7th of 12 players. Table 1 of the Rostbaerdt Cup is saved on twitch.tv. Congratulations to Nick for his first tournament win!

German National Championships

Having noticed I'm not too good with Dengar/Nym I made a last-minute decision to switch lists and go with my Kanan-Biggs from the Europeans. Wasn't an horrible decision, but I missed just enough punch to kill the very prevalent Dengar/Nym lists. I went 2-4, but two of those matches came down to the last health on the opponent's ships. Then again, the only hull that count is the difference between 1 and 0.

I uploaded a collections of pictures for your viewing pleasure. Apologies if I played you and your picture did not get on here. I do hope I gave you my alt-art cards!







Saturday evening the guys from Aggromech hosted a 'Looping Chewie' tournament. Everyone also got a double sided Chewbacca alt art card! Thanks guys. great fun!


Brainfreeze Tournament

Sunday early morning I had a drive back to Belgium, immediately going to Sint-Niklaas for the Brainfreeze tournament, powered by HQ Games.

I decided on switching sides again and went Dengar/Nym. Lack of sleep made for a very interesting 2 first games, where I lost Nym immediately and had Dengar surviving on half health. The last 2 games went worse as my positioning was terrible. Dengar dies first and Nym is just outclassed. 2-2 resulted in a 10th spot out of  14 players.

Store Championship Leuven

Next weekend (Sept 3rd) I'm organizing my own Store Championship. There are still places available if you're interested! Can't promise a stream as I don't know if there's wi-fi in the venue. 

Facebook contest

On the facebook-page for this blog there is a contest going on. Like the page (not a post or something) and at the start of September there will be a draw among all people liking the page, with a chance to win some FFG alt-art cards. 

See you all next time!

Swag, swag, SWAG!

Swag, swag, SWAG! No Store Championship this weekend, so this blog post is all about swag! Everyone loves swag! Don't you love swag? I love swag! And lately more and more players have taken to handing out custom (non-official) alternative art cards in tournaments. (I'm trying to start the movement in Belgium) It's in no way a requirement and no-one will look at you dirty if you don't bring anything. It's just a little extra to be nice. Look at this picture of all amazing cards I was gifted by other players. So if you think you're kind of an artist or know someone who draws stuff and you're allowed to use their art, you can make these cards yourself pretty cheap! For those that want to, but have no idea on how to begin. Here's a small guide! Creating the card Today I'm going to show you the process by making an actual card out of this amazing picture of a TIE fighter I drew! I've long thought about which pilot to use, but ar...

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming Alright. Last weekend's tournament at Cartazimut (Mons) didn't go as planned. I brought my Kanan/Biggs list from the European Championship and got destroyed. I ended up 17th out of 22 with a 1-3 record. What happened? Round 1 - Yassin - Jan/Keyan/Thane My opponent was a newer player which probably explains the unusual (at least for me) list. Jan with Predator, TLT and Nien Numb. Keyan with Advanced Sensors and Push the Limit and Thane with R2-D2 (droid), Alliance Overhaul title and Chopper. Going into the match I felt it would be rather easy. Having a double TLT shot with the Ghost would ensure me almost guaranteed 4 hits on those 1-agility ships. However Yassin flew way more aggressive then I  expected which meant I had to switch around targets every turn to have some use of that Fire Control Systems. I traded Keyan for Biggs and then a lot of the Ghost for Jan.  Ezra ejected before the Ghost blew up and I ended up chasing Thane. I was c...

Prepping for Belgian Nationals

Prepping for Belgian Nationals Belgian Nationals are coming up soon and I have a problem... Several planning issues and work-related stuff interfere with my regular scheduled training. And now the FAQ and Guns for Hire are released. So there is a disturbance in the meta and I have to prepare for it somehow. Time to start brainstorming. If you have not read the new FAQ , be sure to read it and get up-to-date. There are some huge changes in there concerning Biggs Darklighter, Jumpmasters and "Genius". I'm not going to go over them here. There are some excellent blogs and podcasts out there that have talked about it in detail :) What I want to do now is pick between 4 lists. 4 lists which I think will work well in the new meta. 2 of them are older lists, but untouched by FAQ v4.4.0. The other 2 are new lists, using the new hotness from Guns for Hire: "Harpoon Missiles".  Thug life Aka Quad TLT Y-wings. I talked about it in length on my previo...
