Auckland Open this Weekend

Another Tournament weekend up here in Auckland. This time hosted by the East Auckland Elites. It will be all Warhammer this weekend at the Remuera Commerce club. Nova WH40k run by Robert Power & WHFB doubles run by Derick Williams of the Auckland City Guard Club. Both tournaments are pretty chocka. It's going to be a good two days of games.

If you ever want to enjoy some good games and lotsa fun then put this on your Calendar next year.

For this tournament I will be playing in the doubles and teaming up with newcomer Ron. I will be fielding Bretonnians and Ron will be rollicking some Darkies : ) We've been doing a few practice games during club weekends in the lead up and the armies are just what we intended. They are just a bit of fun, inline with the philosophy of don't be that 'Dick'. It's much more relaxing and enjoyable to game. I just don't know how you WAAC players do it without severe hobby wobbles.

Not much Hobby time the last few weeks but I have been working on some stuff and even managed to drag out the Warriors for a few coats.

 Based the Chimera with some poly & plaster.

 Found my Ice Queen, sweet! Chain based.

Simply Scheme and DP base coated.

Not bad for a quick coupla nights.

I also stumbled on some of the Pics from this Years 'Crystal Brush'. Very high level of paint and it would have been monumental!

More New Wood Elves...

Some better pics I found. You'd kinda expect there'd be a bit of excitement here, hence the name of the blog. Just now to find the time to collect and paint them all.

Classic feuds continued!

Collectors ed for those inclined.

 Standard Treemen?

Special character possibly.

Local games shop Saturday me thinks! I've got a tournament on though...

Wood Elves Nigh

Wood Elves this Saturday here is some teasers.

 

Access to 8 lores as well as High & Dark Elf magic.

New triple kit to make Treemen.

   

Here are too Special Characters making the rounds on the net.

I suspect there is going to be a lot of forest dwellers at tournaments soon.

The Muster & Adepticon 2014 Pics

Day light savings means it's only 10:30. So I managed to take a photo of the Bret muster in full swing. Not to mention I've got a stack of photo's from the massive Adepticon. Thanks to the tournament site for some action pics. Glad to see that our NZ tournaments look very similar but just a tad smaller.

Movement bases beginning to be fixed. Lots more to do but coming together.

Keen to get some Warlord games ancient Germanics to make mounted yeoman. 

Warhammer Fantasy Gaming hall.

Chaos Dwarves

 Those are some pretty sweet Ogres.

 Frosty loving some thunderstomp action.

Wow hall envy.

Insane freehand. 

Blue table painting. Always do a top job.

During Adepticon there is also a major painting competition. For all of those out there that are interested it's the ' Crystal Brush', Miniature painting awards. A great incentive of $10,000 for 1st place guarantees a top field every year. Here's some of the pic's and last years winner.

Just some sneaked peeks of this years entries.
