As promised, T3 reviewed End Times tournament packs, ideas in the community for comping Endtimes, and our ideas as well. We distilled everything into a composition pack with the primary goal being that the balance wouldn't be worse than 8th edition is for tournaments. The secondary goals were to keep it as simple as possible, reduce cuts, and favor flavor over power.

Michelle interjects occasionally while quietly working on Eternity King filth lists for Adepticon prep games. We move on to Adepticon prep and the related hobby. The Battle for Antillia is on unofficial hiatus due to Holy Wars and Adepticon; instead we discuss a couple of campaigns we might run after Antillia completes.
