So a few weeks back the wife was nice enough to take the kids to my parents and leave me in the house alone for the weekend. Some friends and I decided to take advantage of this and hold a small 6 man tournament at my house. Most of us have crazy work schedules and families so this was a great opportunity.

The tournament was a simple 3 round pitched battle setup. 8 points for a win, 5 points for a tie, and 3 points for a loss. Each round players could get bonus points, 1 for killing the general, 1 for killing BSB, and 1 for killing any type of magic caster/priest. The last round a player could get 2 more points for capturing the crown in the middle of the board.

For armies we had:
Empire (mine)
High Elves
Ogres
Dogs of War
Daemons
Warriors of Chaos

To spice things up I decided that we needed something to play for.
The prize, each person brought an extra 6 pack, so that was 36 beers to the winner
Don't worry there was still plenty to drink during the game.



Also for the last round, when I said we got a bonus for capturing the crown I meant it. Each table had one.



Here are some pics from the last 2 rounds. I forgot to take any of the 1st.























































I don't remember all of the details, but the rounds went like this:
Round 1:
High Elves (10) vs Empire (4) = High Elf Win
Dogs of War (5) vs Daemons (11) = Daemons win
Ogres (3) vs Warriors (11) = Warriors win

Round 2:
Empire (11) vs Ogres (4) = Empire Win
Daemons (10) vs Warrirs (5) = Daemon win
High Elves (13) vs Dogs of War (4) = High Elves win

Round 3:
Empire (10) vs Warriors (4) = Empire win
Ogres (7) vs Dogs of War (7) = Tie
High Elves (13) vs Daemons (5) = High Elves win


Totals
High Elves-34
Daemons-26
Empire-25
Warriors-20
Dogs-15
Ogres-14

The High Elves beat the pants off of us and we had to watch all that beer drive away at the end of the night, but everyone had a great time. Hopefully we can get together and do it again because it was a blast.

Lastly this dog may look innocent but he is responsible for the death of 2 Chaos Knights of Khorn, look out for those tail attacks


Hop you all enjoy.

That kind of tournament report is the best! Just abunch of friends playing for fun and drinks, sounds like a great time to be had by all!

Dogs of war, eh? What list was he using for those?

He was using the indy rules that they allow at Adepticon.

You let him drive off with the BEER?!

I'd have been "Congrats dude! Now crack. Them. Open..."

Best thing about this report was seeing your man cave. As someone who lives in a 1 bedroom basement flat I'm well jel. Love the lights you've got set up.

Thanks it has taken some time, but after a flood, some demo work, $10K, and some contractors it is starting to come together. Now I just need to keep it and not let the wife & kids take it over. The dog can stay though as long as he keep taking out chaos knights

Now that was a manly mancave! Well done
