Will the Narrative event be a series of games, or one big bash-up?

Everyone's exhausted after a great day of 40k.

Janthkin lost to blackmoor, who lost an incredibly close game to christianA.

Now, after 4 rounds of play, there are only 2 players who are 4-0, christianA from team zero comp playing imperial guard, and josh dearth playing nids! We'll see who's in the lead after 5 games.

There are a host of 3-0-1 players still in the hunt, including goatboy, so tomorrow will be quite interesting!

What a great event, it went very well with only some minor logistical hiccups due to growing pains this year.

In the end, it came down to Goatboy (5-0-1) vs. ChristianA (6-0) from our team for all the marbles.

When the dust settld, they tied! But, since Christian had a better record, he won it all with his Hydra spam IG!

Josh Rosenstein won Fantasy with his Skaven against a very tough field.

We'll have all the data up on Tuesday, we're wiped out right now and need a day to just do nothing.

Thanks to everyone who came out! We had a great time and everyone that came said they had a blast and couldn't wait for next year, which is great for us.

Christian started the event the same way he finished his win at Comic-kaze in LA....
In round 1 he stole the initiative and proceeded to destroy my Manticore, 1 Hydra, and my Vendetta before they ever got a shot off. My Medusa killed 1 of his 6 hydras (3 squads of 2) then he promptly killed the Medusa and the remaining Hydra.
After that it was an easy game for him to blow up Chimeras, watch a bunch of guys die in the explosion, then pick off the survivors with either ranged Hydra-fire or close in melta shots as he started moving his Chimera/Vets onto objectives.

Life isn't fair. But wouldn't it be worse if Life were fair, and all of the really terrible things that happen to us were because we deserved them?

Goatboy's is on his blog. Christian had mech guard with 6 hydras as his heavy support.

I went 6-1 and my only loss was to Christian. In our game I was winning turn #5, I was winning turn #6 and then in turn number #7 he flew his vendetta over to contest my capture and control objective that had no lascannons left on it because I shot the heck out of it the whole game but could not kill it, or immobilize it.
