So the wait is nearly over. Time for WAR!



So I have not played in a tournament since last year and man am I itching to play in a official event.

The South African calendar has given me a bit of time to get my 35pt lists 100% painted. But I have a month left to get as much as I can done before the Tournaments really start otherwise I'll have to buy some people some drinks.

At the end of next month we have Out Come the Wolves held at Warfair in Bedfordview which should be a standard one day 35pt Steam roller event. A week later we have UPCON in Pretoria that is a 2 day event. The PG running this event is trying to spice it up a bit by making some cool scenarios, so I'm not sure on the Points cost  or scenarios. Two weeks after UPCON we have WARCON that will also be a 2 day event but should be a normal 35pt SR. Three weeks after that I will be running Armageddon, I'm torn between running a 35pt Highlander or a 50 pt Vanilla steam roller. We will have to see.

From there on out we have at least one event a month excluding ICON, but I will be doing Demo's during ICON as this is the only real event a year where we get non gamers at a con.

Its going to be one busy winter but at least the blog will see some action with pics and updates.

I really hope that we can organise something for rAge this year. The problem that we face is that the stands are expensive and we need a decent sized stand if we want to put some demo tables up and still have space for some stock.

A week of Painting!

Well actually it was only 4 days 1 of which my Daughter was at home because we are in school holidays.

But I managed to get some painting done and now have 2 competitive 35pt lists. I tried them out on Saturday at Warfair (LGC) and won both games with each list.

The lists are eStryker and pNemo, I played against pButcher and Buldar respectively. The pButcher game ended with eStryker charging the Butcher and Overloaded for 8 Str but took 11 damage. The Buldar game came down to Thunderhead needing a 13 to kill and I rolled a 13. Was a tense game that I enjoyed a lot.

Well time for some pics.

So our next Tournament is April the 30th (Out come the wolves) so I will take these two lists to that event. I have my Rangers and ATGM unit + UA that I would like to have done before the 7-8 May (UPCON) as I would like to take a eCaine list to this one.

UPCON sounds like it is going to be a awesome event with all three gaming systems covered and all other hobby types represented.

Until next time......
