I've got Planetfall on Thuraday, Dark Age on Friday, and Armada on Saturday.  Sunday is clear and Friday I could dump if something more interesting comes up.

it seems like Thursday afternoon may be the best window of opportunity for most or all of us to get together for a few hours.

I've kept Thursday wide open for this sort of thing, or random play for Malifaux and Warmachine.

Also, I'm hoping games can be set in the evenings, after the dinners. There's some prime drink-n-play hours there. I'll mainly have my own models for Firestorm, Planetfall, and Malifaux. But I'm game for whatever else (HALO, BFG, Guildball, boardgames, etc) if there are loaners. :-)
If packing goes well, I might bring "travel editions" of Blood Bowl Team Manager, DC Comics Deckbuilder, and whatever else can condense. :-)

I will be there but arriving Friday due to scheduling issues.  I'm free most of Friday, but SAT/SUN is taken up by Tournament

It ain't looking good for the Planetfall Relthoza these days...

I got tabled again by Marty's Dindrenzi, second game in a row @ 2500. And he's just started playing.
First match, he had an air power skew plus artillery that just vaped my armor from side shots and such.
Second match, he went for minimal armor, 4x Nyx Sky Drops, and 2x Archangels. They started dropping on the 3rd activation, no way I could avoid them and they ate my armor and flyers without breaking a sweat.

In both games, the vaunted Relth infantry was too little, too late, and no staying power. That last nerf they did to the Infantry took them firmly too far in the other direction (IMHO).

I'll at least enjoy the con, but illusions of competitiveness are gone. I'd bring my fun/silly 3x Leviathan list if I could pack them.
And post-Con, if the new Orbats nerf the rest of the Relth list, going forward will be a struggle.

Thanks! It was a lot of fun getting to play you in the event! I will have a in-depth report up on the blog, probably over the weekend.

Some pictures I took around the con while you all were fighting it out on the Planetfall, Armada, and Malifaux tables:

I posted photos of most of the Firestorm Armada Fleets in my blog, and will post photos of Cerberus Station and the three fleets contesting it this weekend.

We're also working hard to create several different Firestorm Armada Events for the 2016 NOVA in Alexandria, VA (just south of DC).  Greg and Andy will be getting our initial event packets in an e-mail, so we can discuss it during the next Podcast.  I'm hoping some of you can find a way to travel out for at least one of our FSA events.

Hopefully, the Podcast will coincide with the official announcement and open registration for the FSA events.
