I would like to congratulate Nigel(King) on his absolutatly fantastic performance at this weeknds tourney.

Out of 6 games over the course of 2 days he won all 6 and finished in 2nd place out of 180. Only 2 people in the whole of the tourny won 6 games, the other one being the eventual winner(he won as he had scored more bonus points).

Out of my 6 games I won 3, drew 2 and lost 1(I hate Necrons) finishing in 35 place.

The top 40 players qualified for the Grand Final in March, so I just scraped through.

We both had a fantastic weekend, met some new friends and enjoyed all our games. On that note I would personally like to thank all my opponents for 6 fantastic and friendly games which were fought in a very relaxed manner(especially the last game, nice one Rob. See you in March). :wink:

Now what army shall I take in March???????????????????????????????????

Whatever it is I better start painting it now, so that Im not up all night the night before the tourny painting. :oops:

Yes, Fantastic weekend!!! I can see me going to everyone from now on, and even some local Independant ones also.

Thanks to: Chris (IG); John (Tau); Josh (Tau); James (Eldar); Chris (Dark Eldar); Jon (Necrons) for 6 great games of 40k played in the best spirit also. While offering 6 very tough and very different games for me they were all played in the best spirits and friendly manner. Well done to all of you who made it through to the next stage, I'll let you have your revenge on me there

I've posted up the few pictures I took. You can see Jon's fantastic Necrons on there that I played in game 6, which was a game I will never forget, coming right down to the wire. (thank God for that extra turn

). There are pictures from mine and James' 4th game where I demonstrate perfectly how to hide behind one piece of cover!!! lol

The best piccie though is of Chris' smoke grenades in game one, which his hellhound popped

n1 Chris, but they did pong a bit

Well done to Gavin also for just scraaappppppiiiiinngggggg thru! :roll:

My advice would be, get painting!!! lol Ah, but he did scalp the Tourney winner from 2004 & 2005 in his 3rd game, so hats off to you too fella, good show.

See you guys in March, maybe with a few improvements :?:

who knows.

Congrats to both of you on making the finals. Those are some nice pictures from the tourney. I especially like the IG hovercrafts, some inspiration there.
