Last Year's 40k Tournament was so popular, that we did it again this year! It was a full on geek weekend. Friday night the guys from OK and I played a session of our D&D Eberron campaign, and then the tournament ran all day Saturday and Sunday. We even made a group expedition up to the Games Workshop Store to purchase the new Tyranid Codex. It was almost our own personal convention. There was also much beer drinking and both during and after the games. I've always said that beer won't make you a better 40k player but it will make you a worse one.
Many pictures were taken, I'll have to get those up in a later entry though, I'm still processing them.
The format was 2 games per day, 3 hours per game. Here are the tournament rules and scenarios we used.
I've listed all the players below with links to their army lists. We had some great variety this year with only Eldar and Tyranids unrepresented.
Craig - Space Marines - Blood Marines
Eric - Dark Eladr
Grant F. - Imperial Guard
Grant H - Tau
Grady - Chaos Marines
Marc - Necrons
Ryan - Orks
Steve - Crimson Fists
Grady won the overall tournament. He got the handsome certificate pictured above and one crunchy taco. Here are the final tournament standings.
I don't think anyone was actually paying proper attention when Nicole was taking the picture at the end. I was waiting for everyone to settle.
