Another Equinox has been played and Won. We had a big turn out and certainly the biggest Warhammer events so far this Calendar year. Plenty of new players entered which is great news for the scene. So if you want to come and join the fun lets see you come out of the woodwork and attend a tournament some time soon!

*NB: 1. Painting was max'd at 16pts. Additional check marks were to determine Best presented.
2. Sports were deducted from Batt Total for ease of use for tournament ranking.
3. Tie Breakers were .1 deductions in sport ;)
We carried on the sports scoring system from GuardCon to great success I believe. The overall tournament was friendly and played in the right spirit.There were very few T.O. calls asked for, which is reflected in so many players getting maximum sports scores. The new system has an expectation of only scoring 2 out of the 3 points offered to your opponent each round. The fact that so many 3's were given must reflect the quality of the players who attend, well done chaps!
The longer than usual 1st day lunch break was asked for from the 2 Paint judges to give them time to judge the painting properly. Big Thanks and shout out goes to Claire and Steve for their time, plus Atreyu on the second day. They all commented on the massive step up in quality of all the armies that attended. Everyone should be stoked as well as we the tournament organisers, with the depth that the hobby is continually developing.
Hope you guys all enjoyed the tournament and lets see you back Next Year!
Big Big Thanks to all the People who helped make the tournament happen. that's you guys who helped setup and pack down. The other T.O's who gave up their time to put something back for the Hobby and Community. The Ladies who volunteered in the Cafeteria, with who you wouldn't be so well watered and feed over the weekend. It's great when the community gets together!
Warhammer 40K Results
Superb field gathered to contest the Equinox 40K trophy this year amongst some eye poppingly nice terrained tables. We had a big contingent of Aussies that we hosted (great bunch of guys!). This of course generated interest in the 'Battle of the Ditch (Botd)', games on the Saturday night were NZ regained the much coveted mantle for this year and the sweet trophy.

Best Sport: Dean Oldham
Best Paint : Steve Gillard
We had a massive field entered for WH40k this year prior to the tournament of 65+. Unfortunately with real life and commitments of some of the preregistered, it meant we couldn't quite reach the numbers to set a record this year. Never mind, WH40k is growing exponentially and it won't be long before it reaches new soaring heights and numbers.
Dan Hayden handed his prize from one of the ladies managing the Cafeteria. Other winners were, Selby Dascent, Cole Mendoza & Mike Patridge.
More Photo's as they arrive. Big Thanks to Lee Jaques for his exceptional photography (The bad ones are mine).
