GuardCon 2013 Results

Another Guardcon has been won and played. This year we tried another venue in Maurewa which was received very well by all the competitors. It was large and spacious and will offer a Marai next time we use it. Which should be a good selling point as it will be free accommodation for all competitors.

Congratulations to all who attended and a big shout out to all the people who helped to make it happen and run so smoothly. With four systems on display it was a good gathering of the wargaming community.

The night before a tournament.

Haven't been so relaxed before a tournament in a while. Everything done and dusted and the venue is all set for the TO's tomorrow to do their setup. Us lackys banged out the setup just like that. Thanks to the crew.

Warriors WIP & NZ ATC brings it Home

Pocket change cars ready for paint and should be tournament ready in no time. Yup that green wheel is the less than $2 addition and I don't think it looks too bad.

Dual cars for the Warriors army.

The NZ ATC 40K team brought home the bacon big time. Defending their title the boys proved that NZ 40k is the business for another year. ATC is the Australian teams Championships.

Spot their moniker's.

Baguette sandwich!

Got some special delivery resin recently and they are minty fresh! Only problem is that the Lanraider doors were mispackaged and are the smaller MK2B ones. Not to worry their customer service is top notch and I've been told that the right doors are winging their way to me now.

They are pretty nice and go especially well with the new Codex.

Hobbying it out this week.

Got in some practice to narrow out which army I am going to bring for GuardCon. Need a 3rd tourney result to have a slim chance of getting to the masters. Brought out the Elves to hitout against Warriors. Played against the current defending Guardsman Champ and he had a army full of eye candy.

Chariot held up my most expensive unit and choppy character for 3 full turns. Elves get smashed... 

We've got a large Board Gaming group started alongisde the table top wargaming at the club so there's heaps of variety every week.

Makes for a pleasant but difficult decision on what to play each Sunday meet.

Oh yeah its the new Descent 2 game!

GuardCon 2013 is in two weeks time and I thought I'd better finish work on my Gorebeasty. It's a project that I've put off for ages as I couldn't find any wheels literally. Found a couple spare minutes so here's my recent effort. I know I have a million unfinished wip's but my blog is like my geek diary of DIY.

Some leftover bits from the chariot kit and useful board.

Chariot and beasty in need of wheels.

 Omg is that a $2 pile of toys with lotsa wheels = happy hobbyist. 

For all those too elitist who don't like me using cheap wheels, old skool tough titties :P

I'll post more up when I have it.

I can't help but tackle even more projects so here's a tank I made outta my Fly buys card (cheap plasticard lols) and tank bits. Not like I don't have painting to do just before a tournament.

 Needs more work but looks pretty cool for a flybuys card conversion :)

Here are some new games I've been told about and am sure to get.

New Drop Zone Commander two player set is just what I need at a price point for me to have a go at. You get real bang for your buck with a packed box o mini's.

New Kick Starter has some awesome mini's, recommended by a mate meatynosebleeds. Here

Happy Hobby Holidays all!!
