40K - CHARICON Results

Over the weekend Charicon was run in Upper Hutt, organised by Bede Bailey and raising $6000 for charity.

The 40K event attracted 33 players who battled over six rounds with 1500 point armies. As it was a "charity" event, I decided to emphasise all aspects of the hobby, including placing an army selection assessment element in the hands of opponents.

Here are the results:

BEST PRESENTED ARMY - Stuart Fields

BEST OPPONENT - Scott Avery

This was Stuart's first tournament and to walk away with First Overall and Best Army was a great effort.

Interestingly, no went undefeated. Every player had at least one loss in their six games.

Only 14 out of 33 armies emerged unscathed from the player-assessed composition assessment. However, those 14 did include the Top 3 placegetters.

The results have been uploaded to the FOB NZ Rankings.

40K - 2019 FOB NZGT - Registrations & Waiting List

Last week tickets went on sale for this year's FOB NZ Grand Tournament.

The tickets sold out in under two hours 😀

Under the "Event Registrations" in the banner above, there is a list of the 72 participants.

A waiting list has also been started should there be any drop outs. Last year real life intervened and there was some attrition leaving the event with 59 starters. My intention this year is to work on the basis of 64-68 participants.
