Just like to say a big thank you to Erik for taking the time to run the tournament, it is very much appreciated. I would also like to sympathize with Barry, my final opponent of the tournament, his dice were atrocious in that game and as Mark mentioned, I know that feeling when the dice seem to turn against you. In spite of that final game he still managed to get the Champion of Horus so well done to Barry. Congrats to Mark for 1st overall and best painted, I loved how each of your units was themed around cat breeds, very nice to look at, just glad I didn't have to face them this time around.

Well done those people. Though I'm sure everyone had fun.

Hopefully I will be back next year. But with a little one on the way now who quite frankly knows..

Mark - can we get pics of your army? sounds like a really good idea.

There is no spoon - just sporks

It was exactly the same warband as I had last year - two small children meant that I didn't have time to make any changes to my list (and the units aren't deliberately themed around cat breeds, although I can see how it would look like that ). I know some people took photos so hopefully someone will post pics soon!

Hope to see you again next year, and congrats on the little one.

I second thanks to Erik for running the comp and want to say thanks to all my opponents.

to me it seemed a more relaxed competition than usual, possibly because it was the first time I had run Olympians and there was a lot of 'learn by doing', usually 'learn by doing it wrong'.

Next year, probably Trojans!

hope to be able to make the tourney next year, now have a car and should have driving rights by then, sounds like people had fun at the event :)

Erik, are there any photos to inspire the rest of us? How about sharing the composition of the warbands used? I am in the process of getting my gaming group into Wargods now that Olympus is closer and anything that will help them understand the warband structure people use is useful .

I can post my warband composition - not sure about the composition of the other warbands precisely. Unfortunately I don't have any photos at the moment but will try to get some soon...

I went with an Infamous Typhon Warband

Typhon Harbinger, Ka2, 2 x hand weapons, javelins, med armour, lg shield, amulet of Set

I put my stat increase to my Arcane, but also got to ka 3 in my final game. I went with arcane as there are a couple of powers I get that rely on Arcane. The ka 2 power I got for the tournament was Sandstorm, I do love being able to put my harbinger in your deployment zone on turn 1, most likely turn 2 because by then my assassin and all my free range characters are within striking distance to support him.
