<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Cangames 2009"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/6.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Cangames 2009 40k "Adepticon-style" tournament was lots of fun. Twelve themed tables, each with its own special mission and victory conditions. The themed scenery on the tables was great. I was lucky enough to get to play on both the airfield table as well as the pyramid table. Sadly I only won 1 of 3 games, losing two. However, I did manage to come away with Best Painted Single Figure! wOOt!

Out of 24 armies, the distribution was:
7 generic Space Marine armies
1 Blood Angels
1 Ultramarines
1 Dark Angels
1 Space Wolves
2 Orks
2 Chaos Space Marines (including my Deathguard, and a Thousand Sons army)
1 Eldar
2 Tau
1 Necrons
1 Imperial Guard (modeled as Lost and the Damned)
1 Daemonhunters

...and I don't recall what else. More Space Marines? There were definitely no Tyranids and no Dark Eldar.

The Bad Moons Ork army won the Cheese Award (lowest Comp + lowest sports) and also Best General (heh).

CORRECTION: The grey Tau army won Best Painted Army.

The special missions for each themed table really made the event. Though many of them were recycled from 2008 (with no changes to account for 5th ed) they all worked pretty well.

Here's a pic of the Deathguard army that I took to the event. More pics of the other armies to follow.

Also, the white is highly contrasting to the red, he should have gone with a slightly more neutral colour like beige to keep the ranking system but flow better with his army. I like the details done on the vehicles though.

There was no monolith in the necron army??? I can't imagine that guy placing well, especially if he ran into the Daemonhunter guy with triple LR.

Looks like some good terrain on those tables too ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/724923.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/724923.page GMT Cangames 2009 Dream Pod 9 as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/724969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/724969.page GMT Re:Cangames 2009 http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/725167.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/725167.page GMT Re:Cangames 2009
Yeah, that Tau army was really nicely painted. The table on the foregrounds is like the holo-chess table from the Millenium Falcon, with a green grid and two tiny Crisis Suit models duking it out on it (I think that's a forgeworld model, but I could be wrong). Though the crappy Macro on my camera couldn't do justice to either the Green Marines nor the grey Tau, here are some more pics of those two armies:


Edit: Damn, I really miss my old Canon. This Nikon really blows. Maybe I should get a tripod (and a new Canon).

I'll be attending Summer and Fall Game Summits and will post pics from there as well. THe grey Tau army is from one of my old employees from GW named Jason. There are few people out there more into Tau than him, his army always is a head turner.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/727883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/727883.page GMT Cangames 2009 ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/734470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240727/734470.page GMT Cangames 2009

Whoops! My bad. I got the two guys mixed up. I think both their names start with "J"...
