First Annual 40k Tournament

| No Comments

Way back in September or maybe August, my brother and I were playing 40k and thought, wouldn't it be cool if we could get everyone together for a big 40k tournament one weekend. Well we settled on Jan 17th and somehow the idea never died on the vine. 8 people showed up at my place this weekend for the First Annual 40k Tournament! It was a resounding success!

We had the first two games on Saturday. I was sure we would run out of time or be playing late into the night just to get two games in but having 2.5 hours per game worked out great. Only a few games even went to the time limit. There was much beer drinking during the games on Saturday and even more at the post-game cookout. There may have been a little too much beer drinking for some people. The first game on Sunday was a little subdued compared to Saturday. One player wasn't even able to make it to his first game.

For those of you that are into 40k here are the armies:

Ork Speed Freeks
2 Tau
2 Necron
Dark Eldar
Grey Knights
Black Templars

The Tau seemed to be the dominating force with a combined total of 5 wins, 1 Draw, and two losses.

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
