Gamesfester Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 The Army lists for the 40K doubles tournament are coming in . Ed Baildon & Mark Whapam ( part of the GamesFest team) are running the tourney and want an idea of figures before the 24th October. For Army construction rules & Q&A see our site ( www.gamesfest.co.uk) & the forum. The Ed & Austin team seem to think they have got in the bag (SM & IG ). Can you prove them wrong? Lets see those lists (e mail to Mark@gamesfest.co.uk ) Regards Mark P.S There is no entry fee & I’m led to believe the prize is going to be worth winning. P.P.S Jervis Johnson will be on hand for those extra tricky rules queries. Black Library have confirmed on their site: http://forum.blpublishing.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13465 'The Black Library will be present at this year’s Gamesfest, taking place on the 24th October at the Watford Colosseum.
