Really fun day, going in I had only played one proper game so learnt a hell of a lot, sporting opponents with some lovely paint jobs, interesting tables and cake, what more could you want?  

Quick look at the up coming releases and I don't think anyone is going to be disapointed, nice models with some interesting rules, some of them will certainly open new tactics for their faction.

What more can I say other than I was convinced that this is such a good game that I bought in to the 5th faction as soon as I got home.

I'm so sickly jealous of this thread. Who wants to help me immigrate to England?

Hi Guys,

 

I put my thoughts on the Tournament up on my Blog:

Long and short of it, I thought it was well run and looked like a lot of fun. If there are any mistakes, or blanks in info that you can help with please leave a message in the commets section and I'll update the article.

 

Thanks

Thanks, SirAngry! 

It's nice for all of us unfortunates who do not live in the land of the rising, uhm, setting sun to see what happens there!

I follow the rules of bushido. I am a bushi.

You have no idea!!! lol.

Driving up / down / across from Birmingham was quite funny. It was quite a nice day when we set out, as we got closer to Wales the skies became overcast and literally not 5 mins after crossing the border it began to rain. lol. Cleared up as we got to Cardiff and it wasn't a bad day. ;)
