I was lucky with my pairings and played three really great opponents. It was nice to see 22 fantasy players from as far away as Wilmington, NC show up.
First game vs Billy and his O&G wasn't close, but that was because I have never seen someone whose dice failed them at all the wrong times. Between animosity and Pump wagons going 2" (when it was 4" away), your dice should only be used for Ld tests. I think Billy really needs to throw those dice away.
Second game vs Paul's Empire was a very close draw with VP only 4 points apart. My saving grace was putting 4 wounds on a Stank and destroying a War Altar with one shot from a Hellcannon in turn 5.
Third game vs Chris's HE's was very close to the end. If his two wizards didn't fail a terror test and run it would probably have been a draw. It isn't often a Hellcannon can take 49 hits from HE spearmen without taking a single wound.
Good job and thanks go to Bobby Ash for running the event. I look forward to the next one. Below are the winners of the event.
Whipping Boy (identity hidden to protect the innocent)
Best Sportsman (Jeremiah G.- Dark Elves)
Best Painted (Anne Marie- Empire)
Best Army (Zac R.- Wood Wlves)

Best Overall (Tony N.- Warriors of Chaos)
I didn't take any photos as I forgot I had even brought my camera, doh! I know the tournament organizer took some so I will get them posted asap. Here are some photos of my BSB mounted and on foot.
