Congrats to everyone! Nice to see dual awards for general and painted, too. Some day some, I will be comfortable enough with the rules to play in one of these, though from the sound of it there were some newer players in this group.
What Ben said. Seriously, we had one player that had NEVER played a game of 40k before and several players who were new, super casual, or brand new to 6th edition.
This event was more or less invite only and I specifically asked new(er) players, casual players, or players that had not posted outstanding results in previous Singles tournaments in the past to attend. This was in an effort to create a fun, friendly, not-quite-so-competitive, "easy entry" event for interested players to try out. I think it worked out very well and will definitely be doing it again in the future.
I agree with Ben in that the 40k tournament scene looks great around Battleground right now, especially so early on in the life of the edition. We've got some really awesome people in the community that have put in a lot of effort into growing and promoting 40k here. I love it.
And doesn't that Gershman guy have a fantastic Eldar army? I saw it while he was painting it and was VERY impressed!
Oddly, I didn't get a chance to look at Chris's army up close. I can say that from 8ish feet away I could tell it was painted well, and that says quite a bit.
There's nothing quite like an awesome looking Eldar army. I'm psyched he brought it and I'll make it a point to check it out if he decided to bring it down again.
Keep an eye on
our Facebook page for pictures of the event. They should be up soon.
