Hi everone
Well just return from Throne of Skulls, will have the report up tomorrow once had sleep & also get photos.
First up
GRAHAM CAMPBELL WON Throne of Skulls April with Sister of Battle, a army people slate on the fourms. He was just happy getting the best sister player. The look on his face was priceless, he was really really shock having won the overall event.
As per normal I came up for best army nominee. Third GW event with my Space Wolves & all been nominee. Loss out to a Thasound Son force, really nice conversion & was above mine, Nick said that where they should be to insult my Space Wolves, guy who play them was joke about this as well.
Quick game summary
Round 1
Mark, Blood Angels - Kill points
Round 2
Rob Waller, Sapce Wolves (Storm Crow), d3+2 objects, puitch battle.
Played Rob that ToS Nov. 69 models in his army
One area of terrain protect me!!!! A bit of tree
- 13 cover save in the space of two turns for my tanks
- Over 100 Bolter save, pretty much 90% of his shot where save
All because of that area of tree's. While the ruini building to my left I failed any save there.
Round 3
Andy, Nids
Rob friend. Brillaint game on all account, both our brains where on auto mood after a solid two round. Andy went on to become Best Nids player in the event.
On top this, my Lascannon arm Dreadnought took 20 Penatrate hits, ever single roll was a ONE!!!!!! I was shot that by S8 weapons for three turn solid, I was in combat with two diffrent unit Genetealer one per round & still my Dreadnought live but could not shot for the whole game!!!!!
Round 4
James, Dark Angels, d3+2
I fought James & his brother during the 40k double. So was a grudge match. He also went on to become the best Dark Angels player.
It was a hard game & any one who moan about codex Dark Angels being rubbish will get a kick in the balls from me.
Basicly, turn 2, there a unit of Deathwing Terminators. I fire my whole army into them & not a single one got killed. The wounds I do cause & he fail (Heavy Bolter for exsample) & he will past his feel no pain.
That 4x Meltas, 3x Lascannons, Plasma Cannon, 7x Bolt Pistol, 4x Rapid fire Bolter all into 5 Terminators & there Master. Not a single failed save, even if the FQA was never updated with Storm sheild being 3++, he made 5+
Great game & a good laught. His brother was cheer me on since he also collected Space Wolves, done some nice Thunder Wolves.
Round 5
Andras (sp?) Space Wolves, count as pre-heresy Luna Wolves
Like my Dreadnought round 3. This time a Land Speeder.
Turn 1, can not move or fire but one of them has also been destroyed (squad of 2).
Turn 2, can not move or fire
Turn 3, can not fire
Turn 4, can not fire
Turn 5, can not move or fire
It just dodgy from being a kill point. But he fired his Long fang & Rune Priest into this lone speeder since the other one was destroy. Fire into them from round 1 to 5, he was gutted. Thing was this was also penatrate hit as well!!!!

So as said got Best army nominee. I am also in the News from the Front four times because of what happen in Round 2, 3, 4 & 5. I to e-mail the event team to get there quotes.
Basicly news from the front tell the story of those insase thing that never should happen, like Woostie winning a game of Warhammer Fantasy, thing that are doutful in a million year. But they do happen.
Or say 3rd ed if I fire a lone Bolt Pistol into back of a dreadnought after a Plasma Pistol failed, then the Bolt Pistol kill that Dreadnought. That sort of stuff. Or when I fought Dave & how I jaws of World Wolf his Missile Launcher & Chapter Master in one go both being double 6.
It ment for a bit of a laught.
So should have report done tomorrow & have photos from the event up. Also got a photo of Graham trophie. Look a lot better in real life than photo ha, ha.
Before I forget. Round 5, turn 2 a Italain player is kick out of the tournament for cheating (what a supirse
). Basicly he been reported though out the weekend. Argue with the Refs, done thing like took a hour to do his turn or 30mins to place down one tank!!!! He ment this to slow game down.
But was kick out & will not be allowed back to any further Throne of Skulls tournament.
