K-Con 2012 - Game 2

On to game 2, having (barely) beaten Jan in my first game I was up against Barry Hickey and his Space Wolves in a Dawn of War/Annihilation game.

K-Con 2012 - Game 1

So as some of you will know I went to a tournament yesterday in Dublin. A one day, 5 battle, 1000 point, highlander format, tournament to be precise.

My first battle was against the current best player in Ireland - Jan Karnowski, and his Orks.

Now I would just like to preface this, and the other battle reports I'll be writing shortly, by saying that I forgot to take notes or photos, and when I did get back home late last night I went out on the town for a 'few' drinks. So please excuse any errors.

So having decided upon a list and built the units I'll need I now have a little under 2 weeks to get everything painted to at least a three colour minimum to take part in K-Con.

Now this is the part where things get interesting. I could paint the models to a quick 3 colour minimum and get in some practice games or I could go to town on the models and do a really good job and no doubt get my arse handed to me by all and sundry. Guess which I've picked...

K-Con 1000pt Highlander list - Part 2

Well I've managed to get my ticket for K-Con, put in my army list, and have it rejected, (Apparently I cannot have Sammael in a Land Speeder and have a Land Speeder in the Attack Squadron. This kinda, ever so slightly, ruins my plans.)

Back to the drawing board...

Assuming I get tickets (which will be available tomorrow) I'll be heading down to Dublin for a tournament on the 11th of February. Its a 1000 point, 5 game tournament played on 4'x4' tables with one slight difference - no unit may be duplicated.

NWG - Friday Night Game

Got down to Gorey last night about 6ish and after checking into the B&B, I headed down to the Amber Springs Hotel where the tournament is being held for some food and the possibility of a game.

Achtung Panzer!

Hey all, I'd like to apologise and put to rest the rumours of my demise, I started an OU law course in February and thought I'd have plenty of time to keep everything going but I was overwhelmed with the work, I now only have my final assignment to do so I should be more active from now on. At least until February again.

Anyway, on to the main point of this post - incoming tanks for the NWG tournament next Saturday

For those not in the know, the NWG tournament is a 2000 point event that allows the use of some FW units and lists (basically anything not a super heavy or gargantuan creature). I've decided to take an armoured battlegroup using the IA1 update.

Just one problem...

Warpcon Report - Game 1 Vs Orks

I'm planning on doing reports for all of the battles I fought this weekend at Warpcon, hopefully should have them all done within a week or two, the second game report may take al ittle longer as I was playing against TKE and we might do a battle report written either together, explaining turn by turn what we were doing or might just each do our own. Anyway, on with the report...

Warpcon

Well lads warpcon is over, just a quick update post to let everyone know I finished in joint 8th on points. I have to admit I got beat by TKE from Mindwar, but ended up finishing above him when it was all over (which I think is the important thing)

Anyway I'm waiting on the first of many buses that will take me home, I'll update with battle reports either later today or tomorrow depending on what time I'm home at and how knackered I am :)
