As the Reclusiarch of the Wolfbrothers Chapter, I am bound to deliver my evaluation and appraisal of each and all generals. I am also entitled to voice my opinion of the current state of the Wolfbrothers Chapter.
I have decided to rate each general numerically on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest. Categories of evaluation include: List Building, Deployment, Shooting, Close Combat, Shenanigans, Intimidation and Rolling. The total of these numbers should signify each general's rank amongst the chapter.
If you are a Wolfbrother chapter general and I hurt your feelings with this evaluation, then too fucking bad, play me and get better.
1st Place
ShotDownMind - Wolfbrothers Chapter Master
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
9 9 9 8 8 7 9 - 59
In a word...lethal. SDM plays competitively and has several 1st place and best overall finishes. Recently he placed 1st in Ard Boyz Qualifiers, 1st in the Twin Linked Tournament(Great Escape Games) and is in the top 5 at the prestigious Contest of Champions(Great Escape Games) for the 2011 season.
2nd Place
General Oadius - Wolfbrother Reclusiarch
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
9 8 8 9 8 9 7 - 58
In a word....Furious. General Oadius plays "in your face" with CC oriented lists that reroll everything. Recently placing 5th amongst 75 competitors at the Bay Area Open, 2nd at Ard Boyz Qualifiers, 1st in the Twin Linked tournament(Great Escape Games) gives General Oadius a wealth of superfluous confidence that can astound even the highest strung person.
3rd Place
Andrew - Wolfbrothers Master of Librarians
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
9 9 9 7 7 5 7 - 53
In a word....Deliberate. General Andrew can easily be wrote off in appearance and demeanor, but underestimating this general can end your day badly. Andrew writes rock solid lists that punish the enemy for any mistake they may make(Sun Tzu would be proud). Andrew has competed at the Ard Boyz Finals and is a fierce tournament player.
4th Place
General Bass - Wolfbrothers Chapter Champion
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
7 7 7 8 7 9 7 - 52
In a word....Brutal. General Bass will come straight at you with everything he's got, no holding back. Physically intimidating and stubborn as hell, beating Bass is as rare as it is difficult. With several best general awards and a 6th place finish amongst 75 competitors at the Bay Area Open GT, General Bass is amongst the hottest of our competitive generals.
5th Place
General Jake R - Wolfbrothers Master of the Forge
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
8 7 7 7 9 5 8 - 51
In a word....Brilliant. General Jake will out think you, end of story. Jake plays more armies than anyone and plays them all well. General Jake R. has a wealth of experience in tournaments and recently placed 3rd in the Ard Boyz qualifiers.
6th Place
Ian - Wolfbrothers Master of Scouts
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
7 7 7 7 6 6 8 - 48
In a word....Dynamic. General Ian plays a wide variety of armies and a wide variety of fighting styles, he knows the deal and games the mission. Don't take anything for granted with Ian or he will make you pay for it. General Ian is at every tournament he can make it to and was recently the army to beat at the latest Wolfbrother's tournament.
Tied for 6th Place
General Charles "Makooma" - Wolfbrother's Warden
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
8 8 7 6 7 6 6 - 48
In a word....Focused. Makooma has a plan from turn 1 and knows what to do to make it happen. Comp is not his favorite subject, but he builds lists with lots of hurt and surprises and intends them to win. Makooma is at the top of Tau players on the West Coast and fields a mean Tyranid army too.
7th Place
General Alex - Wolfbrother's Captain of the Honour Guard
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
7 8 8 6 6 5 7 - 47
In a word....Solid. Alex is not going to let you win without earning it but he'll be damned if you don't have a great time winning or losing. Possibly the funnest of all our general to play against. Alex does like to compete and he does like to win, he just doesn't get too wrapped up in it all.
Tied for 7th Place
General Eric - Wolfbrother's Chaplain
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
6 7 7 8 5 7 7 - 47
In a word....Ready. Eric is a very balanced player and could field any army with tactical efficiency. General Eric has competed in all 3, 2011 Wolfbrother Tournaments, with a strong showing each time. Now he's fielding the deadly Blood Angels and will no doubt make the Emperor's enemies pay dearly and often.
8th Place
General Ben - Wolfbrother's Chapter Banner Bearer
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
7 8 6 6 6 8 6 - 46
In a word...Learning. Learning quickly I might add, SdM and I are observing Ben not make the same mistake twice in games against us and that is all we can ask for. Ben isn't a competitive player at the moment but his potential is unlimited.
9th Place
General Matt - Wolfbrother's 1st company terminator
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
6 5 6 7 6 5 5 - 40
In a word....Competitive. Ultra competitive and I love him for it...he just needs to play more. Matt does like to compete at events he just doesn't like to finish them.
Tied for 9th Place
General Richard "Daywalker" - Wolfbrother's 1st company terminator
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
6 5 6 6 5 6 6 - 40
In a word....Learning. Under the tutelage of Makooma, Daywalker will soon be a force to reckon with...especially wielding the ultra-effective space wolves. Daywalker has competed in several Twin Linked Tournaments(Great Escape Games).
10th Place
General Forrest - Wolfbrother's 2nd company sargeant
List Bldg/Deployment/Shoot/Close Combat/Shenanigans/Intimidation/Rolling/ TOTAL
5 6 6 5 5 5 7 - 39
In a word....Brave. General Forrest is not scared to take a beating in order to learn something new. Also, Forrest's lists are balanced and his deployments are valid as well. Forrest recently competed at the Wolfbrother's 3rd 2011 tournament with his Dark Eldar army.
So that is my appraisal and evaluation of each of the Wolfbrother's generals. We are blessed with a strong crop of experienced generals that are active in the tournament scene as well as being blessed with a crop of new generals that have great potential. Under the leadership of ShotDownMind we should continue to be a force to be reckoned with all over the West coast and beyond.
The state of the Chapter is excellent. A great many of our generals are actively competing and a strong dynamic exists between the chapter's leadership and it's livery of generals. Our reputation proceeds us to all over California and support from two of the greatest hobby shops in the nation(Great Escape Games and Heroes Games and Hobbies) continues to provide growth. We just held a very successful tournament at Heroes and that marked the 3rd tournament we've organized for 2011 alone.
All hail the Wolfbrothers, death to our enemies.
