Is this thing on?


Sorry that its been dead, been a bit busy with RL stuff like WoW and Paintball and Warmachine.

So in March I had my Steamroller event. We had a decent turnout and played our 4 rounds.

The winner was Ryan Keyser with his RoS list.
He used Rahn and a nice Mittens list. Worked very well and he got CC in each round.

2ND was Charles with a Menoth Harby list. It was awful to call dice down on the game between 2ND and 3rd but I had to. otherwise Harby could have sat there for days, man is that lil girl insane if you can get her in cover.

3rd was Mark with a Siege list from hell. He executed it very well.

Everyone had fun and i have got the models to mount on the trophies I just need to get it all painted up in gold, silver and bronze.

April was a quiet month we had UPCON in Pretoria (1hrs drive from us) I did not attend and the results have not been posted on our local forums so I can't say who won.

In April we did close the doors to our club. It was cost R1000 a month to rent the spot and the guy paying the rent was not doing anything to get income, so I told him to rather pack up and move into my garage.

Lets just say its worked out well for the both of us. My wife doesn't complain about me having to go out on Game night and the ex-payee now has to travel 20km less a week to play games also he has his weekends free to do as he likes.

This month we had Warcon in Kensington at Warfair. The Warzon club members ran the event and it was great seeing all three major systems at one well run event. There were less participants because the die-hards played their favourite GW system so we only had 8 players. I would just like to mention that this was 2 less than the WHFB players which is a huge shock. You normally have between 12-20 WHFB players at these events.

I will right up about my games in another post forcing me to at least make another post in the next week.

So what is planned for June/July:

Well My wife has told me that she will try WM so I will most likely buy her a starter box of one of the factions.

With that starter box I want to apply for Press Ganger membership so that I can get some prize support for my tourneys that I run.

We will also be playtesting our lists for ICON (The largest convention in RSA).
