I can do this I just finishing up at work. 25 copies of the schedule as it stand on page 1 running off the printer...

see you guys in the morning.

Panic...

By the way, sorry guys but I won't be able to join you all after the games for drinks/dinner. My schedules too tight to try to get dinner, maybe next time around?

Damn good, I've finished my army to tabletop quality (just in the nick of time)

I'll need to print my army list off at the uni tomorrow however, hope the library is open!

Everything is ready to go, and I'll see all you gents tomorrow!

Oh my god it's early. Whose great idea was it to get up in the middle of the night to miss all the traffic?

See you all later on, assuming that I do not fall asleep

Daemons. Check
Army List. Check
Tub 'o' terrain. Check

Bradley's fast car. Um. Dunno.

...

Seriously bad night here, but no snow!

Dunno what its like in kent but we will soon see.

See you there fellers.

Just about to head across now, so will see you later

Unfortunately had to leave after lunch today due to snow. Took me well over 3 hours to get home (it is a 1 hour trip normally). had a few scary moments on rhe roads too but made it back without crashing though many could not say the same

From the state of the roads I don't think i will be able to make it for Sunday unfortunately.

Good to meet a few new faces (even if briefly).

Trains were bogged down enough that I got stuck in London. x.x Hope tomorrow goes well, and I look forward to seeing the results!

Apologies for leaving early on Sunday, but I didn't want to risk being stuck for another night.

Unbelievably, after they gritted all the roads, the buses still didn't run. Trains were fine though.

Well, the tournament is over, the room is cleaned, and the goodbyes have been said. All that's left is the write ups.....

Here's some pics that i've got for day one. Still have some more, but the camera doesn't seem to want to unload them. Oh well, enjoy these for the time being.

Top two days guys, really enjoyed it...thanks for the games (with the exception of Demons)! Pizza was good too :-)

Safe trip home to those that are traveling.

Sorry I had to leave early fellers but the snow [and the Mrs!] was calling and had to make tracks before the next lot fell.

As it was the roads were clear and it only took me 20 minutes longer than getting there so I had time to make my assent on the top table after all!

Ben you really set up a greta tournement and would like to both commend and thank you for that.

All of the players we top notch and there were some really great forces present, with special mention to Kk's Termaguant generating Tyranid army that gave me a sound dusting!

The cocktails and jellybeans are on me for PD3.

Any news of the scores on the doors?

Just wish I had been able to stay. I was looking forward to taking on some of the armies there and getting to know everyone a bit

Perhaps next time.

Hey guys! Thanks for a fantastic tournament.

I've posted my report at - http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/334707.page#2246007

(including dodgy mid-meal mugshots - let me know if you want to keep your secret interweb identity and I'll draw a big blob on your face)

Morning fellas.

Sorry to ditch you all on the second day - perhaps I'd better explain.

After seeing Reds8n briefly in the car park, Benny and I drove to our hotel. The drive was hairy as gak. We skidded 4 or 5 times, and ended up sliding sideways down a hill, missing half a dozen abandoned cars by a gnat's pube. After finally getting onto the A2 (where our hotel was, 5 miles from the venue), we got showered and ready to set off. The decision was made that we would cab back in to town, as it's better to write off a stanger's car than your own. We also decided to rely on taxis until the homeward journey Sunday evening.

No cabs. First the A2 shut due to an accident, and then the cab companies started refusing to some out to us, then finally stopped running altogether. Dinner for two in the hotel restaurant then. :(

Sunday came and after breakfast I started calling the cabs again. Same story as before, and today Benny really didn't want to drive his car back up to the Uni, and I can't say I blame him - I wouldn't even have driven my shitheap up there. We waited it out for an hour or so, tried again but to no avail. After speaking with Ketara,
we then made the very difficult decision to jack in the second day of gaming. It's a shame, as there were people I still wanted to meet, and armies I still wanted to play. We wrote some killer CSM lists in the hotel room then limped up the A2, toward home.

We both had a killer time though chaps. We spoke almost non-stop about the armies we'd played, people we'd met and the great time we'd had. If we can organise to do the same thing again, but in a more agreeable clime, we'll be back with gusto. Once again sorry for abandoning the cause, but thanks for a great first day.

Peace.

Some more pics I took at the event.


Super Space Eldar Terrain
I think this was made by Panic. The buildings are pint beer glasses, cardboard packaging inserts, and some kind of egg thing.


The plan goes badly wrong for Snarky's Korps of Krieg Kombat Engineers

This Tau outpost is pure genius
All the dome buildings are Japanese soup bowls.

Panic...

Just to add another post to the "I had a fun time" vibe we have going on, and my total respect especially to thsoe who travelled so far to play as well.

Be great to meet up with people again, and kudos to everyone for staying so cheerful in the somewhat WTF weather we had , the pics below show what it was like when we all arived, all nervous and smiling and giggly, early on Saturday morning and then quite how much snow did fall in just a few scant hours.

My blastmasters, alas, let me down quite a lot with regards to actually hurting thinsg this time, alas, but the Defiler gets special credit for being a genuine rampaging engine of destruction.

Special thanks indeed to thsoe who brought along some simply stunning terrain, which made the games great to watch, let alone play on.

Roll on the next get together.. maybe we'll have a look at that grand battle/apoc type scenario we talked about.
