The Conquest of Triton - Deadzone Tournament

In addition to my Abyssal project for Edge of the Abyss, I have been finishing up some Strike Teams for an upcoming Deadzone event in New York on July 30th.

The event will be held at Final Fortress Comics & Games in Flushing, NY. Andrew "Coach" Jashyn will be running everything on the day, and it is shaping up to be a lot of fun. Here is the link to check it all out on Facebook:

I currently have a fully painted Plague and Forge Father strike team ready to go, so its just now to decide what I want to go with. Here are the two lists that I have access to:

My Plague have been my go to for both Deadzone and Firefight, so it is more than likely I will run with these guys. I recently played in an event while in the UK and liked that list but I will not be running Halo-Sights on my Stage 3's. I will use those points for more models.

12 models is a lot for Deadzone and it will be needed. Plague lack a lot of the strong ranged firepower and can sometimes be caught in some serious crossfire situations based on terrain. The Hellhounds can pressure your opponent early, while the Stage 3 HMG's can be used to suppress key opposing models. 

My Forge Fathers were done more as an excuse to paint them. The models are beautiful and most of the range is now in hard plastic. This is a complete 360 from my Plague as I only have half of the models. This will most likely be used by my buddy who is travelling with me but is just getting into Deadzone.

Forge Guard Huscarl

Forge Guard w/ Hailstorm Cannon

Iron Ancestor w/ Twin Hailstorm Cannon and Forge Hammer

More of an elite force, the Forge Fathers are looking to engage the enemy at range, while using the Iron Ancestor to hold up units and make up for the usual model difference between them and the enemy strike team.

Really looking forward to this event, as of writing this post Coach says that we have about 16 players coming. Check it out on Facebook, and even if your not looking to play swing by Final Fortress and say hello!
