Well I'd talked at one point about doing a Dwarf army - I like they way they play but I just get bored with the models. I bought a bunch,
but they just sat there. My son took some, and then gave them back. Then at Adepticon 2012 several things came together for me. First, they allowed
you to have beer there. Cool. I brew beer. Also cool. Then I saw an AWESOME Ogre Kingdoms Monty Python army - exremely cool, but the inspiration
was that instead of a display board it was a cart. It occurred to me that I could put a keg of home brewed beer in a cart, with a tap as a part of
the display board. And what goes with beer but dwarfs. I spent several hours thinking and writing down ideas for the army, and the plan is to have
it ready for Adepticon 2013.

The whole shebang
Some shots of the entire army as of Feb, and the last one is the army on display for Adepticon in April 2013.

Awards
At their first tournament, the 2013 Seige at the Tower in Columbus Ohio on January 5, 2013 I won Best Painted Army. Nothing to show,
but $70 in gift certificates to the Guard Tower, which I used to get a bolt thrower and a copy of Flash Point.
At the 2013 Cincycon WFB Tournament on March 2nd, I again won best painted (out of 18 people). This one came with a large beer glass, a
copy of the just released Daemon book, and a Garden of Mor scenery kit (close to $100 in prizes). Not bad. I got my score for the Adepticon
primer as well, and my score tied with the winner (but sportsmanship was the tie breaker - and he beat me by 3 pts there). Also had the same
score as the overall winner, who had the highest score for painting, sportsmanship and game play. Yeah he kicked butt.

So I take the dwarfs, with the beer tap working, to the big one - Adepticon. First thing was the 1000 pt "How You Use It" tournament - and without the
display I win Tourney's Choice for half the army. (A mantic skeleton & catapult box, a box of gnoblars, and a pair of crystals (scenery) from Armorcast for the prizes).
For the 5 round, 2 day championship, I had a lot of people coming by, bringing their friends, all telling
me how much they loved my army and display. Unfortunately not quite enough to get a majority of votes, and did not get the big prize.
