Painting requirements at tourneys,

I am a bit old school when it comes to painting, I started playing 40k back when you needed "3 colours and based" as a minimum to field an army in a tournament.

I have been a bit dismayed by the level of painting in warmahordes events. I have faced entire armies of un painted models and in many cases there is at least one unpainted model.

I feel as though it would be easy for all tournaments to require at the very least that all models be primed  prior to being fielded in an army. Spray them brown, or black, or grey or green, or whatever you want but at least spray them. It is easy to prime models, and if models were primed it would be that much easier for people to paint their models.. :)

but as I said, I'm a bit old school, I would never field a model in a tourney that was not at least primed, and my goal is always to have a fully painted list in any tournament in any game system I play.

So I encountered eDenegra..

I brought my eKaya list to the fight, I feel like I had pretty solid plan, and for turns 1 and 2 it went well,

I killed a lot of Cryx infantry and was making pretty good headway, then eDene comes up.. hellmouths one of her own guys to pull my stalker forward into range of her Nightmare that has my stalker as its prey. (on a side note - it seems Nightmare does not cause terror, which i think is pretty silly) A dead stalker resulted, and then all I had left was a long shot assassination attempt that failed.

Oh, I forgot to mention, eDene feated making it so my entire army was stuck in place, she scored 4 points, and i had no choice but to try for the assignation or loose at the end of my turn,

That was a pretty tough game, eDene has a pretty rough feat to deal with, but I think as circle, with all my placing abilities, I should have been able to get around it a little better had I seen it coming. Honestly I think circle is potentially better prepared to handle this feat than most armies.

I will be better prepared for next time,

good learning experience.. looking forward to a rematch :)

Jakub,as always thanks for the game,
