Jupiter Jazz: Battlefleet Gothic Mini-Tournament, South London, March 14, 2015

Hello – so recently I’ve been finding out there is quite a few more BFG players in London than I thought. People who have fleets collecting dust, or have stumbled into BFG later on, or are like me returners with ebay accounts and a vague memory of exploding spaceship fun.

So anyway – how about a Mini-Tournament at Dark Sphere? (Elephant and Castle / North Lambert in South London, UK). Likely date is Sat 14 March 2015.

1) A friendly tournament where new players or those ‘not expert’ on the rules are welcome.
2) 1250 point games. ‘Death Match Style’ fleet engagements following normal victory points, no disengaging; fight to the death. Aiming for 2 games each during the day. Though if people who finish quicker want to go for a 3rd - then go for it.
3) BFG:R fleets (as found on Afterimagedan http://tinyurl.com/nnj2zzf ) (though if you prefer you may take BRB Eldar – please notify if you are using a fleet no covered by the above/other preferences as I’m sure they can be accommodated) + Any models you like (appropriately based and preferably painted). For fun, a refit will be rolled at the beginning of the tournament for your flagship. (to clarify: rules will be v1.5 BRB + FAQ/2010 compendium)
4) £5 Entry to cover table fees and pizza at half time. Please bring as much tokens/dice/scenery as you can!
5) Prize for the winner.
6) 12 places in total

The theme of the tournament will be the capture of the ‘Jupiter Drive’, a Dark Age of Technology interstellar engine coil design - recently unearthed by Tech-priest in the archives of a fortress world. As traitor forces rush the area, pirates take advantage of the chaos to progress their own clandestine plans.

The tournament will likely run from 9.30am – 6/7pm

If you would like to enter – please post your name and fleet below and PM me your email / contact number. Later on I will ask for people’s fleet list and for them to designate a flag ship. You are also encouraged to post any paragraphs on fluff or tactical thoughts either pre or post tournament as I believe such content helps to foster awareness and interest in the specialist games community. The mini-tournament is designed first and foremost for a way for players to have fun and meet other enthusiasts. Join up today!

(oh – and any feedback or questions please feel free to comment below)

Looking forward to this but yeah, I'll double the number of games I've ever played at this event. Could do with a practice game or 2 myself.

Done - though at this point I think new space is probably difficult.

If no avail - will link you into any new activities.

Hey I'd like more info & shots of the tyranid & yellow imperial navy fleets. I'd like to especially know what the escorts for the IN are originally & about the hive ship & the winged fleshy escorts.

@Skarnir - Thanks very much for posting pics! - I will get some of mine together later

@Red - I will ask Tom about Tyranids (which won the thing - its the third time I've played him but I think I got 'complacent' (read: too close to big space jaws)). He has a strong background in sculpture and made his fleet from milliput. He also made the attractive bio-dome space station and some of the asteroids / planets.

The Cobras / Vipers can be purchased from Grim Dark Bits - on shapeways (A Netherlands/NY 3d printer factory) - http://www.shapeways.com/product/E2RGKY9HH/bfg-viper-class-destroyers-x8?li=shop-results&optionId=10531532

They are 'inspired by' non official designs, though alot of the ships are very nice and maintain a strong aesthetic theme.


THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN TO ALL THAT ATTENDED - HOPE FOR MORE BFG GAMES IN 2015!

These are the only other pics of toms stuff that I took that day, he is a really good sculpter and any of the scenery or indeed minis from his fleet are top notch stuff!!
