The current holder (and usurper) Locky Reid is, I believe, safely snuck up in his burrow here in Wellington. No doubt he claws at the icon that will soon be pried from his undeserving grasp. However he is very tricksey and I would not put it past him to skulk away from his betters and head down to Southcon for some easy points.
The pretender, Dan Butler, NZ’s ETC Skaven player is scuttling north to NiCon and - assuming no treachery from Locky – must finish 4th or higher to seize the treasured icon and hold it in his gnarled paws. Failure to achieve that lofty goal will see the prize remain here in Wellington.
However, any remission for Locky will only prove temporary as that icon is destined to find its way back to its rightful home before year’s end. It might not happen overnight but it will happen!
You mean someone actually cares about the meaningless ranking
ReplyDeleteTop Rat aint meaningless. Carries enormous prestige in Skavenblight
DeleteYep I certainly do, the only reason I play tournament Hammer is to meet new people and compete against them....if I want something story based, epic (20,000 points+) and relaxed I'd stay at home in my garage and play Hammer.
DeleteHaving Icons gives you a goal orientated focus to tournament playing. I don't want to say that it's the best thing about Warhammer (it's not)but it certainly is a very different way of playing a game that I love, and it's fun.
Isn't this ranking like anything Skaven related? Cheap, toxic, prone to breakdown and ripped from someone with better design skills.
ReplyDeleteSkaven, the Chinese manufacturers of the Warhammer world.
So?
DeleteTouche....
DeleteI guess mixing melamine into baby formula to cut costs would be a typical Skaven thing to do, and a fairly mild one at that.
OT, good luck to you all this weekend, I hope you have a bal.
Icon's add to the fun :) But if I get one its accidental, the pressure of this ETC year is just too pressurizing!
ReplyDeleteDon't tempt me to bring them out of retirement! :)

And like a Gutter Runner in the night, Dan steals the icon!
ReplyDeleteThe precioussss.... I lied, they don't just add to the fun, they are life itself!
