I managed to kill his Avatar early on in the game, and gained a lot of victory points. His HQ was the Avatar, another monstrous creature. Of course, my HQ was the Hive Tyrant, a giant monstrous creature.

The scenario we played was 'Head Hunting,' which involved killing the enemies' HQ in addition to defeating the enemy army. The first army I played against - Eldar (space elves) with grav tanks and the Avatar, which is a giant moving statue of the Eldar war god.

I uploaded the full-sized pictures to my Facebook account. I brought my camera to the tournament to get pictures of all the cool miniatures I could find, but the camera ran out of batteries half-way through (should've checked.) and I didn't take as many as I would have wanted. The whole experience was a lot of fun though, and I'd definitely do it again. (they still don't have the information posted online yet, and I haven't had a chance to go to West Ed where they have it in the store) I actually had a crushing defeat and probably did poorly in the final results. That was not to be :( I made some bad decisions early in the game (I was a little too aggressive and made a bad gamble), and later bad dice rolling sealed my fate. I was hoping the two highest players (one of them actually played an army very similar to mine) would play each other to a draw, and I would get a good victory out of the last game to win. Despite some bad moves and bad luck, I still won three crushing victories (the second best kind) in the first three games and rose to fight on the second highest table. I played my Godzilla army, as I mentioned in my earlier post, and not surprisingly it did pretty well - a lot of the time Warhammer 40k is all about the army selection. (the Games Workshop guys hoped that this would put Edmonton on the map for GW events - if you look on the Canadian website right now it's all about cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary)Īt the tournament, each player had four games, and depending on the score either rose or dropped between the higher and lower tables. Hopefully this'll be the first of many tournaments held in Edmonton.

It was quite a lot of fun, with 40 40k players using the Hall of Heroes rules. Well, I finally got some time to write about the tournament I played at on Sept.
