The final results are in but I won't jump the gun by announcing the results until the TO's have done themselves. Heres a taste of what happened going into the last round of the tournament.
At the top of the field for Warhammer fantasy we had Ogres, Warriors, Chaos Dwarves and Vamps battling it out. The results were very surprising...
For 40K there was a whole lotta Necrons, Daemons at the top of the field.
Watch this space. I'll have the results as soon as they are made official.
Edit: Results are here.

It was a good tournament and well run, I especially thought the two special scenarios were good twists to the usual but still well balanced.
ReplyDeleteAs for my performance, I'm not sure why my army even bothered to show up lol.
Oh well, I'll have to try and get my mojo back before Equinox.
It all adds up, the more tournaments you go to the better! At the end of the day, if your army is determined to undermine even your most magnificent of plans, there's not a lot you can do :)
ReplyDeleteWell done to all involved, was good to hobble by, even if I wasn't playing.
Thanks for the encouragement Dan, I think that when you lose or win a game you've really got three things to look at:
ReplyDelete1. How did you personally perform?
2. How did your army build perform?
3. How much was luck a factor?
I think when we when we win we tend to attribute too much of it to numbers 1 and 2, while when we lose 3 gets blamed. The next week for me will be trying to subjectively figure out just what the mix of factors was and look for improvements as I know that they did all contribute. Still had a great time and thanks to Russel for letting Adam and I take a draw and drive home on the last game...
Very constructive analysis Jeffrey. I'll be taking a leaf out of that book. Just a point that I've come across with armies that I've designed for tournaments is matchups that it will be favourable and safe guards for the unfavourables. Equinox has over 40+ players so it will be a true test of your warhammer skills with so many variable matchups.
ReplyDeleteI've got a whole bunch of quirky and memorable happenings from OTT here's some of them and feel free to add yours.
Purple Sun comes to the rescue and Ogre BSB falls to just get edged out of the game.
Undead assault the Wood Elf forest only to have their Lord swallowed up by the mystical forest.
Sabre tusks have gone wild and Maul to death a Chaos Lord.
16 Str 10 hits and Chaos wards it off ftw.
Elves learn to maximise on a 3" backward hop.
purple sun did come to the rescue 6dice for the win
