Sunday Meeting Roundup

Well, the meeting on Sunday went very well considering that four of our stalwarts were suffering from wargames burnout from Vermintide last weekend!

Our club was graced this week with two new members - young James returned (he's not that young, but he's younger then me, so as long as I'm doing the blog posts he'll be " young James"!), and a new chap Alex came along with his Warhammer Dwarf army.

The games on the day were quite varied - Alex and Aaron had a large game of Warhammer (Ogres vs Dwarfs), which ended with the Ogres making a meal of shorties.  Craig bought his Napoleon's Battles collection along (a very impressive collection of fully painted, 25mm leads) and him and Harley recreated a slice of musket-era warfare.  Jake brought along a bit of a treat with his Battletech boxed set, and him Ross and James bashed seven kinds of hell out of each other with walking tanks.  James won with a lucky laser shot that punctured Jake's armour, setting off a catastrophic chain reaction of unfired auto- cannon ammo.

Everyone had a great day, and it's always great to see people trying out new games.  I'll have to see if Jake can make it with Battletech next time.....I do have a thing for stomp mechs!

Marauders off to the Masters!

Our very own Peter and Neil Williamson are off to the Masters in December!  This will cap off a very good year for these two guys, and I'm sure that you will all join me in congratulating them on qualifying for this prestigious, invite only event, and also in wishing them the best of luck!

No word yet on whether they'll  be showing their allegiances with matching tattoos of The Gentleman Wargamer (our mascot), but I'll keep everyone filled in as news comes to hand!

Thanks to Slave to Painting!

This is just a quick post to thank the great website Slave to Painting (www.slavetopainting.co.nz) for their recent sponsorship of the Vermintide tournament.  Not only did they post the info on their Facebook page to drum up some more interest, but they also gave every participant a $10 voucher for their webstore!  Thanks again, Chief Slave!

I'll be following this post up with a more detailed post on Vermintide (just this weekend gone) once I get some photos (and a bit more time!)
