Sunniest day of the year thus far.
Really good fun so far, we've all played 4 good games against very chilled and pleasant opponents.
2 games and some general wackiness to follow tomorrow.
For the record now I'll state I was robbed on that last turn, bah.. what can you do when you last troop holding the objective is killed by the twin exploding Killa kans that were contesting it.

Yes! Beautiful day to be stuck indoors, but 4 good games in. Later on, I'll start posting photos, one thing that's pretty amazing is the standard of converted armies. Praetorians, AdMech, etc...
EDIT for evil mod fiddling....

Great day. I am on my way home now, as I was only there for today, not tomorrow as well. I'll try and post a few photos later. The other fellas are all out for a meal in Canterbury!
I had four great battles. A win, two draws and a defeat, but all four games were equally fun, and I di dnot hear a harsh word said by anyone all day, so it seems like everyone had a great time.
The standard of armies on display was fantastic. All a LOT better than mine!

Yeah, Wonderful sunshine vs WarHams? no contest I have to say I enjoyed all 4 of my games today against some top quality hobbists. reds8n wrote: For the record now I'll state I was robbed on that last turn, bah.. what can you do when you last troop holding the objective is killed by the twin exploding Killa kans that were contesting it.
I admit it was a very funny/weird end to a game! and to be fair those KillaKans had teleported around the table three times to get there! some photos from today...     And I'm off to the pub for a pint with the dakkites! Panic...

I agree with the above - all in all a very good weekends gaming!
Also, great sportsmanship throughout too.
It always both amazes and humbles me when so many people put in so much effort with their armies. There was some really great stuff on the table tops.
I'll post up some pics a bit later from all of my many draws!

Great weekend. Cheers Ketara for organising. The scenarios worked well and everyone of my 6 games was great fun.
Every single person attending had a great attitude which made for a very enjoyable event.
So when's the next one?

All my games were fun. It was great to see so many themed armies and conversions including
Praetorian Steampunk

Ad Mech IG walker tanks
Grot Orks
Space Marines
Everything painted to at least good tabletop standard and some of them were much better!

Why is the average UK gamer about 250 pounds lighter than the average US gamer?
Going on that wide, and representative sample, of gaming manhood above, and the pics we get of US gaming conventions.

We are fatter, and shorter than people from the US.
Our gamers range from concentration camp thin to wider than they are tall, and the average is well above 'average'.
