Building the Nightmare - Blues City Brawl 2025 Event

/

Blue City Brawl 2025 was another fabulous double event! We were able to improve on last years 3rd place by leveraging 1 part hobby mojo, 1 part tactical acuity, and 1 part dumb luck. In the end we had a 4-1 record on the table and the highest Hobby score which garnered us the distinction of taking overall by 2 points over last year’s winning team. Thanks to all of our opponents and to everyone that made it out. Another amazing event in the books and we look forward to next year! Huge thanks to Devlin Smith for running another fantastic event.

Down below we provide a quick summary of our games and share loads of pictures of the armies and people at the event.

Game One: Wes vs Larry

Nightstalkers and Elves

Bulldog Scenario

Biggest difference in this game was that our brawler could carry the token and not lose fly or nimble. Our opponents placed it on a bloodworm legion and was unable to get it across the board. The biggest mistake was not using Eshyneshra to harass our token carrier. We hid it for a turn and when she went elsewhere, jumped and hid and scored every turn. We did eventually pick up the bloodworms as well. 20 point win

Game Two: My Husband and Son

Abyss and Undead

Fools gold

Super fun game. We were very happy with our token placement. There was a house near the line and it gave one of our two tokens some shelter, making it harder for them to defend from that side. There were some combats that went a bit against probability but dice be that way sometimes. Their two point bluff token was near ours towards the middle of the table and we had a lot more Unit Strength in that area. 20 point win.

Game Three: Bodeen and Andy

Herd and Nature

Kill

The reigning champs. Played against the left board edge. We saw a win condition if we could peel off some smaller units with some of our faster stuff which was on the left flank, and delay long enough to bring the faster stuff back around late game to maybe take a few more things off. We felt that was our best play and could have resulted in a small win or a draw. The game was decided when our Soul Flayers charged the flank of their brawler and only managed 3 wounds. It was at this point that Dan was no longer allowed to roll dice for the weekend! As expected Jeff and Andy punished us for our misfortune and boxed us in. They used surge very effectively and we only managed 8 points out in our only loss of the weekend.

Game Four: The Killer Blakemores

Dwarves and Basileans

Compass Points

This was our best played game of the weekend. Basically, everything that we wanted to accomplish after we deployed, we managed to make happen. The most awesome being getting doppelgangers with elite into shield breakers with ferocious charge. With melee 3 with def 4 and crush 2, that gave us 25 attacks on 2's and 2's with elite. The highlight of the weekend for us and the most "living the dream" moment you can have. It really made Dan want to play a NS list with 2-3 doppelgangers. They are matchup dependent but very fun and cost effective. We also played our Bowen really well. He got into really punishing places. We managed to contest their main token and hold the other three. It was also the only time in the weekend that we managed to get all the bonus objectives. Biggest win of the day at 25 points.

Game Five: Joey and Randy

Dwarves and Jarvis Undead

Hold the line

This was our luckiest game. It was a lot of posturing. They definitely wanted us to commit earlier but we were steadfast in our patience. The biggest mistake was inadvertently giving a flank to Butchers on the Steel Behemoth. We also got our brawler in the rear for 18 attacks on 3's and 5's and did zero wounds. And yes that was Dan rolling the dice again. Luckily our Butchers made it happen so it all worked out. We then got enveloped and lost the center, but we were able to delay the center from helping the outside zones. They had a chance on turn 6 but the combat went in our favor so we held both outside zones. As we said earlier, this was the luckiest game for us. May have been the toughest matchup as well. We lacked the crushing strength to deal with their list which was fairly high def. If the game had gone to 7, we definitely would have lost. They called dice down before we got 7. Joey did roll a die and thankfully it would not have gone to 7 anyway. Did I mention how lucky we were? 20 point win

Here are some of the awesome armies on display at the Blues City Brawl this year!
