And here i was thinking me and greg had an awful doubles list, and nec minute, ive got an email from that lil rascal Mal, about his upcoming doubles tourney:

Its one of my favourite tournament of the NZ scene, its in Woolston Working Mens club so that means cheap beer, ok food and plenty sweaty wargamers on a hot summers day. Beautiful.

Yep, thats right 9 Mournfang in 1250 point army, don't look at me it not my fault. Anyway who say ogres are filth, chumps that who.,

Here's my list

Total                                                                                                                                                                       1249

So in the wise words of the A-team whats the plan? well............as you can see its a little skink heavy, bascially/literally I'm going to chaff them up and let Locky's ogres smash some things. In the words of Locky  "your list is a work of art", brought a tear to my eye I can tell you. As Locky and I live on completely different islands its pretty hard to get in any practice, but we normally get on and as long as the beer is running we should have any problems.

We won this tournament last year, so would be good to win it again or at least do well with it. Locky, will be touching down in CHCH on Friday evening and the fridge is already stocked with plenty of beer, I'd imagine the usual pre-tournament smack talk to begin as well. Will have the Batreps and photo's up next week. (No promise cause after a jug or 2 i'm normally quite drunk and forgetful)

Catch ya later, and remember choose to roll 6's or :)

  1. Haha, my list isn't nearly that horrible. Only 5 mournfang and no butcher anymore. Looking forward to drinking lots of beer and not playing much warhammer. Sadly left my 1st place medal from last year at home so won't be able to wear it. Oh well. Just have to win myself another one. ;)
