I have a break playing tournaments for the next 2.5 months. There are a few Auckland events but I haven’t factored them into my plans.
My efforts are going to be directed to “Fields of Blood” – The New Zealand Warhammer 40k Grand Tournament – which is being held here in Wellington in a month’s time. This weekend I am looking to finish off the Mission Pack which I’ll look to distribute by Monday. This will give people a couple of week’s to digest the scenarios before they have to submit their lists.
I picked up the major trophies this week and they are looking very swish – brass plates on walnut in a velvet bag. I’ll get pictures up this weekend to whet people’s appetites.
“Fields” is looking like New Zealand’s last 5th Edition event and it will be interesting to see what people bring for the last hurrah. I am expecting Grey Knight, Necron, Space Wolves and Dark Eldar armies to dominate the entries. The smart players will be bringing something that can deal with them. As previously noted their will be a “Best in Race” trophy for any codex with more than four participants at the event.
No spaces left I take it?
ReplyDeleteSo it is going to be an out and out race between, Jack, Haydn, probably some others and me for best Dark Eldar player. Should be good then
ReplyDeleteStill about a dozen
ReplyDeleteI think it'll be the last North Island 5th Ed event. I'm running CavCon's 40k Campaign as a 5th Ed event, about 3 weeks after Fields, as i don't think the local player base will have time to adapt to a new Edition in time.

Sorry, I should have said in the civilised world ;-)
DeleteGuardcon is running 5th
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw that. Brave decision. Two and a half months after release of 6th I'd suspect most players would have moved on.
