Luckily I had made up nearly all the models I was going to take.
That is a lot more than I usually paint in a month!
I plugged away at the paint and managed to finish them in time
And even had time to play a practice game against John's empire army at my local club.
Both of us, was really rusty at fantasy and it showed as we only got to turn 3 before we ran out of time.
Sorry about the quality of the picture its the only one I took!
The Aftermath
The tournament was last Saturday and was really good. It wasn't to competitive, just 3 friendly games of Warhammer linked together with points. Everyone was very friendly and nobody minded my knowledge of fantasy rules being rubbish.
As expected for my first time I didn't do very well.
Game 1 one was against Wood Elves and was a massacre. I just couldn't get to grips with them and they just ran rings around me.
Game 2 against a magic heavy High Elf army was another massacre. The dice gods had forsaken me!
Game 3 was a lot better, well I got a draw but it a lot better than a massacre. It was against a Empire gun line and I think the practice against John's army payed off.
In the end I finished better than I thought I would at the beginning of the day, coming 18 out of 20.
I did a lot better at the painting, Joint winning the best painted army, me and someone else got 8 votes each (it was a good ogre army, I voted for it).
Anyway, after all that. The moral of the story is, if you've never been to a tournament before you should give it a try. If nothing else you get to play warhammer all day against new opponents.
