Darrell if you are interested I could pick you up and we could go from there. Julie can't go because being the time of year and a bank holiday there is nobody to look after the younger one. I won't pay until the end of this month. Just of note if you are taking daemons you won't be able to know all the spells of life in this as a stipulation to the rules says that no know all lore items or abilities can be taken. That sort of stuffs your whole game plan with your current set up

what a day it was a great tournament well organised and planned all the players enjoyed themselves. i had 4 realy hard games that could have gone either way my first was 1000pts of chaos warriors consisting off 15 khorne warriors,20chosen of tzeench and a war shrine this was my toughest game which ended in a draw in my favour with only 3 of his chosen left out of a unit worth over 500pts my magic was obsene with rolls of 12,11 and 10 power dice. my next game was against beastmen which was a very frustrating game as i could not kill things i ended up a 14-6 win for me. my next game was against more chaos warriors this time the gods were on my side and my plan worked perfectly my bloodletters wiped out his marauders and the flesh hounds killed his chaos hounds on my first turn on my second turn with there dying throes the bloodcrushers distroyed the hellcannon and on turn 3 my bloodletters wiped out a unit of chaos warriors the final score a 16-4 win for me my final game was against a empire force with 2 cannons,2 mortars and a steamtank in it not a appentising thought however the gods were still on my side as his shooting was mostly inafective a his magic was poor my demons shot and battered everything he threw at me a special mention must go to the demonettes as they killed all the flagelents after losing half there number to shooting before charging into them the final result a 16-4 win for me. which meant i finished 7th overall a result i am very happy with. sadly the gods of the greenskins saw that warrens orcs and gobbos had a tough time on the day but i will let him give his report on the day ALL HAIL THE DARK GODS!!!!

Excellent competition but I had a Pretty Torrid time gamewise! First game I had planned in my head before I got there - got told dwarfs were going to be on menu - however this was dashed when I entered and was told it was now going to be skaven. Praise the lord why Skaven all the time at tourneys?? Anyway needless to say I didn't have enough troops to combat this at all. Got to kill the Hell pit abomination ;D his BSB and a few scout things but I got mauled by the extra units he had. Trounced! Second game 1500pts was against Empire and I was just very unlucky and my opponent had all the luck. First round he destroyed two units of Night gobbos and Common Gobbos (leaving me 3 out of 30 in each) from mortar and rocket fire . My shaman copped it in the building as he cannoned the building to destroy it and apparently it falls on top of you killing you outright. This I didn't know. Oh and my rock lobber misfired and blew up on turn one. Pretty much decimated my all gobbo army leaving me with nothing to face the 30 odd flagellants. Third Game was against VC and I won that game quite convincingly although it was against the nicest of guys who did finish last. My 14 Orc Archers killed a Varghulf! He didn't kill anything of mine except he got points for my rock lobber misfiring and blowing up - yet again! The last game was truly epic - against WoC. It went to and thro with myself getting the upperhand at the beginning. My cool orc archers have been amazing and should never be underestimated. In that game they took out a unit of dragon ogres, one chaos spawn oh and another CS. Their sorcerer didn't like that and gatewayed them to hell. Then it all went peared shaped after I killed the Hell cannon and the chaos ogres. I successfully beat off his 40 strong unit of marauders with great axes (with my normal orcs) but wasn't successful in catching them failing by one on the dice roll . Of course they rallied as I got flanked in the side by some tooled up chaos warriors . I lost combat and failed my crown of command stubborn roll - twice (BSB near) and got run down after rolling a pathetically low double one for running . Another unit of warriors were chosen and ran through my Black orcs like butter - I didn't roll as single wound from god knows how many attacks - and using great axes aswell. Pathetic! This unit of Chosen overan into my rock lobber (which did basically sod all for the day) and then they chewed into my Doom diver (which performed poorly all day as well). My night goblin bowmen then had a spell cast at them transcomogificationsomething or other... panicked and ran off the board . My trolls unit with the Night Goblin warboss in it did some damage to the other warriors but got beat in the last round. They ran off and were caught as did my night goblin spearmen. All of the above happened in the last two rounds. So I lost that game 17-3 or 19-1 I can't remember. It was a case of awful bad luck with the dice rolls and a poor choice for my 1000pts army. I finished third from bottom but still had a great time - well apart from the thrashing that was handed to me on the tables in three of the games . However taken in good spirit I did enjoy it and found out some new rules and little nuances of the game that I will use in games to come. Oh I got up at this time and couldn't get back to sleep - so I thought I'd bore the pants off you all instead! ;D I've made at list of the things that my 14 orc archers have killed since I started using them. I'll post it up soon to let you have a look at how awesome or jammy you think this underated unit is. Gonna try and get back to sleep - stupid insomnia!
