Menoth isn't a good tournament army? The Mountain King
is overpriced and terrible? |
Today's post will be pretty quick. For those unaware, something like 8 of of the 16 players in the Masters tournament were apparently Menoth players - a surprising demographic considering that about the same ratio of Cryx was present at the Templecon Masters. Perhaps Privateer Press is better at crafting a well-balanced game than some give them credit. What was perhaps more surprising to many, however, was that Trolls had a great showing, with Flanzer getting defeated in the last round with his Trolls. What was most surprising, however, was that one of the lists contained the Mountain King. That's right, a list featuring pDoomshaper also sported the Mountain King - despite all of the cries of its uselessness by Trollblood players. Granted, the Gencon Masters tournament this year was a 75 point event, but I still derive some amusement that such a "terrible" Gargantuan was not only present at Gencon in the tournaments, not only was it in the Masters, but its general almost achieved first place! Now there are two things that I'd like to point out as a result of these tournament results.
