Fast quick and Dirty is a 1 Day, tournament run by Team Octopi in Stockport. As the name implies it revolves around quick, brutal games and to this end its got an unusual format of 3x20pts lists. This seemed like a great little format to me and it was relatively cheap to enter and travel to so I rounded up a few of the local lads and got tickets !
So recently passed was the UK masters event, the finals of which saw Jamie Perkins (Khador) Take on Andrew Galea (Trollbloods). Needless to say the game was very interesting and captured in its entirety by the good chaps over at SteamForged which then had a commentary added to it by the players themselves.
Lock & Load took place last weekend as I’m sure many of you are aware and we had some very tasty spoilers and pics come out of it so I thought I’d have a quick look at what we know so far about the Khador side: lVlad and the Coquest!
Today we’ll have a look at a slightly more unusual sort or tournament report, this time coming not form playing it, but form making it all happen! Frontlines was the first tournament I’ve ever organized and run and wow what a learning experience. I’ve certainly got a lot to talk about so lets get to it.
Along with a few other lads from sheffield I got the chance to pull out the 40k and take part in Open war 17 organised by the 1st Company Veterans down at Maelstrom Games.
It was a 1 day event, 3 games at 1750pts no restrictions. I took a standard Ghazghkull Battlewagon list. It was a good day, lots of fun and gave me a lot to reflect on for 40k in general. So lets get into it.
So a little late but better late then never right?…right?
Oh well, either way here’s the final Part of my SmogCon 2012 report: The steamroller event!
Part 2 of my report where we shall have a look at the event itself! There were 3 types of events: the tournaments, casual gaming and painting/modeling.
Heres the first part of my SmogCon event report guys. I’ve broken it down into 3 parts: Venue, event and games. This should make it easier to write for me and to read for you so I hope you enjoy it! (as well as the new website art w00t!)
Well what a weekend. All I can say is that I have never played Warmachine, or any other wargame for that matter, like that before. Absolutely fantastic weekend and I was just too tired to do anything when I got back Sunday. Needless to say this has left me with a lot to talk about to in the next coming days I’ll post up a few articles about the con itself, the games and lots of photos!
I would like to apologise for the lack of live coverage whilst I was there as the only bad thing about my weekend was that I had such an issue trying to get a good internet signal, just tweeting was a chore! Anyways I’ll make up for it over the next few days so stay tuned!
So due to work picking up and having some more spare cash around I managed to snag one of the few remaining tickets for SmogCon.
What is SmogCon? It’s the first “american” style warmachine convention in the UK! So normally it should be 3 days of warmachine fun! Very nerdy but you gotta love it 😉
