So there's only a couple people signed up for this.  If you're looking to advance or want a strong chance to win 1st or 2nd prize, come down and play! :)

I was happy to finally see Fantasy in motion. It looks interesting, and I'm looking forward to trying it. A good day at the game store.

As an observer of the tournament, I feel I can say that the third scenario was not just poorly designed, but perhaps the worst I have ever seen. That's all on Games Workshop and I hope someone there reads this. The random chance inherent in the scenario was neither fair nor balanced. I appreciate its intent, truly, but the execution was brutal.

There were 4 people, so over 3 rounds, everyone played everyone.

Since the tournaments tend to be smaller, there's no need for the BG crew to beat each other up. Some players as I heard it went another store to beat on strangers, giving more of the BG crew a better chance of meeting up in the next round of 'Ard Boyz.

As for results, a guy named Chris playing High Elves. Well, one of them won, since 2 out of the 4 players were "Chris playing High Elves". Chris scored 60 points and Bill's Dark Elves scored 59.

Really highelves.  wow.  i cant wait to get there.  I never thought HE had a chance of doing well.  Everytime I see them played, i see them get destroyed.  Their saving grace is Teclis.

The Chris that won was actually playing Dark Elves. The final standings were as follows:

Chris - Dark Elves
Bill - Dark Elves
Steve - Skaven
Chris - High Elves

I agree, though HE can be plenty competitive in non-Ard boyz settings, without either.

I don't play either and was playing on table 1 at the end of the escalation tournament last month.

real men do not need teclis, I won't even capitalize his name, he does not deserve it, nor do people who play him.
