Phew glad that’s all over. @mage back with us? I need my Minotaurs fix. Which reminds me, @dawfydd how you doing? Recovery going well? @horati0nosebl0wer counting down the days until you are back in the fold. @evilstu don’t work too hard man. @warzan thanks for popping by, now show us some hobby. @robert how is the complicated dice bag coming?

The AoS tournament ended up fairly casual. There were 5 of us so I graciously agreed to sit out round 2 which would make finding final standings impossible.

We had me with Stormcast, a Skaven, a Kharadron Overlords, a beastman and a free guilds army so quite a good mix.

Game 1 I faced the Overlords and having never played against them I was really looking forward to it. He took the first turn and came towards me worrying about my deep striking force. My deep strike gang landed behind him but did pretty much nothing with all their shooting. My Evocators on Battle cats got into combat with his smaller main unit and tore shreds out them. In the course of this fight they managed to grab his 30 man unit into 3 inches. My unit have a special ability that 4 of us had to read and reread to make sure it was right but needless to say the 30 man unit all died and that was pretty much game.

Game 3 I brought the light of Sigmar to the unwashed human masses. I hadn’t played these before either and they were full of surprises. I did the same thing with the kitties into his halberds and killed the 20 crossbows behind. Hilariously in this game his general on gryphon charged my ballista and not only failed to kill them over the whole game but they eventually beat him to death. So I won this one too wiping him out in the process.

I think I realised today though that I prefer AoS to 40k. Much slicker to play. Also good to get a chance to dust off my Stormcast.
