Armies on Parade
GW held Armies on Parade weekend as a national event here in the US. Several locations were taking part in this great event. Among those places was the Glen Burnie Battle Bunker, my usual hang out. There was a great turn out for the event with almost 20 armies for all 3 game systems participating in the event. The tables were packed with some great looking armies, among them I brought out my entire fully painted and based Death Guard army for the event.
Armies On Parade was an idea that first began at Baltimore Games Day this year. Participants who take part bring legal armies for the public to vote on. This event was a bit more loose then the GD restricted rules ones, for one no points limits, no limits on Forge World, and no FoC limits. This allowed for many to bring out their best painted models and display them for the crowds to vote on the best....I got shots of all the armies with my digital and here are the winners and some of the best looking armies I saw....
40K of course brought out the most participants to this event, with about 14 armies from 40K showing up. It was a surprise to most of us that for most of the day there wasn't a Codex Marine army present in the event till right before the voting started. A Crimson Fist army showed up at the last minute to claim that title. Heh! Someone forgot to wake up the Space Marines to this event. There were at least 2 Grey Knight armies, 4 Chaos SM armies, 2 Ork armies, 3 IG armies, 1 Nid army, 1 SM army, and 1 Chaos Daemons army
