My first tournament!

Recommended Posts

I had my first tournament this weeked, it was 4 rounds of 1250pt fun!! I placed 37/86 overall, nothing to write home about, but I did win "Best painted army" and the "players choice award" award based on players juding one anothers army...I felt really lucky to win the awards, there was some very well painted armies there and I felt like mine was definetly lacking in some areas, I was supprised and very happy to win!

 

Anyway I learned alot, and was able to really test my skills against some very fun players. I think though the most important thing that I learned though was that the list is not nearly as important as the general, no list can handle every army.

 

Anyway it was good times and I will be heading back to another tourny in march for 1500pts, though I am taking IG, but I will be back for some BA fun at 1750 and 2k.

 

Here are a few army pics!

Well deserved as these are really well done. Where did you get the clear risers for your miniatures? i totally need those for my display case.

Congrats on the win. Really good looking army - neat with a cool colour combo... and yes, where did you get the perspex displays - I need them also :D

 

 

The risers came from a store in m area called "Tap Plastics" I bought them locally, but they do sell them online;

Yes my army is magnetized, all assault troops have there packs magnetized so I can run them with or without jump packs. My Sgt's have their arms done up so I can equip them as needed, and the tanks are fully magnetized as well. It was a little extra work, but worth it.

This is my own DIY chapter, "Sanguine Templars" I also run them on occasion using the Black Templar codex, I call them "Crimson Templars" when I do that, mostly becuase I am cheap and lazy and dont want to paint 2 different space marine armies, and I really liked the BT look of the models.

Smart man.

 

I like the BT artistic style and I think it meshes well with BA aesthetics.

 

I'm in the process of reordering my theme to make my successors... Grey Angels... or Blood Knights... (lol).

 

Congratulations on the double plus good approval of your peers.
