INVASION! A Photo Report from GuardCon 2017.

This weekend past was GuardCon weekend and a contingent of TCOW members headed over to the Auckland Bridge club to play in the 40k Doubles tournament. There were 40 teams all told for the weekend and so pretty awesome painting! 4 TCOW teams in total:

Daryl and Faizal: A Chaos combo with Nurgle and Khorne joining forces.
Dave and Glen: Kharn and his World Eaters teaming up with Drew Carey.
Monkey and I: The Blues Brothers; the DKoK and the Ultramarines.
Dan and Damo: J R Ewing-bot and Old One Eye.

We had an absolute blast, made some new friends and saw some shit..shit that cant be unseen man.....

Here's a heap of photos from the weekend but beforehand, I really must apologise to Faiz and Big D for fucking up one of my rules and snaking them out of a draw. Mea culpa boys.....

Oh yeah, and we helped make the event happen as well with 9 table of terrain provided by TCOW alums. Nice work boys!

Wubba Lubba Wobots!

And their bug mates...

Right before my turn 1 Vindicator kill. Hellblasters yo!

"How the fuck do I kill a Primarch....?"

BEAUTY PARADE

There were some seriously beautifully painted armies on the day (and some pretty standard jobs as well). I tried to get as many shots as I could...

Monkey's Death Korps of Kreig

My Smurfs

Stan's Guard.

Bartosh and his Elf mate....

Magnus 1...

Big D's Defilers....

A Bug's Life...

Not-so-Disco 'Crons.

Dan's Bugs.

Oonst, oonst, oonst....

The Monolith has fucking LED's!

Girlyman and posse....

Not a display base....

Dave's World Eaters.

Glen's Drew Carey.

And now, back to the action!

Monkey and I were "lucky" enough to get to play Damo and Dan on Day 2.

Genestealers charge the trenches....

Captain Krunch in single combat with El Broodo...

El Broodo won the day (cheaty bloody Smite), but then had his head blown off by Lt. Fuckanot straight after that.

The Thin Blue Line. Our final game on Day 2 was against Daryl and Faiz. 90 fucking Plaguebearers....

So that's pretty much all she wrote. We didn't finish in the top but we had a blast playing some new 40k with a heap of cool peeps!

Massive thanks to Stan and Corey for running a great event and also a big thanks to all the sponsors!

SCRUB FIGHT!! Club Meeting - 10 September 2017

With just a week to go until GuardCon, we thought it best to maybe get a game in with the lists that we're taking to the tournament. You know, at least see how they run...?

Monkey and I took on Damo and Dan. Monkey and I are taking a DKoK - Marine combination and the other scrubs are taking Necrons and Nids. 

This should be fun.....

Dan's Carnifex Conga Line with Old One-eye in the back...

Neigh.....

The mission for this game was The Scouring so 6 objectives scattered around the table (thanks to the new Battlekiwi objectives....) so this was gonna be a massive fight.

The DKoK really did a mass of work in this one....and the Rough Riders are freaking AWESOME!

This photo, the last known record of Sergeant Loftus and his Battle Brothers.

At the end of the game, the Emprah's warriors held the field though. 10 - 3 to the Blues Brothers.

The other game saw a Chaos - Chaos alignment taking on more Chaos, this time paired with Drukhari.

Yeah, some dude brought a Primarch to a scrub fight....there's always one....

I believe this one went the way of the Elves and Chaos. Objectives and such....


As well as the glorious 40K action, we also had some Flames of War, Late War.

Jon's German's took on Pablo's Brits....

And finally, a game of Rogue Stars was played. This is a game from Osprey which is skirmish wargames in a Sci-Fi underworld. Looks pretty cool...

Any game that starts with a shoot-out is OK in my books!

Four hours of gaming goes by so quick....and sometimes it's all a little too much...

Until next fortnight...
