Back to basics

By
Hey guys Sam here, apologies if the post is short, new job taking most of my time this week.

So last weekend Six Up Save hosted their second tournament with the help of Andy from Worcester Wargames. The day was a lot of fun and thank you all for attending. We enjoy running these events and hope to do a lot more in the future. Everyone who attended was friendly and brought with them a real sporting attitude towards the day which made it a pleasure to run.

So onto the scores, on the day I announced first second and third places, here is the results table.

Big congratulations to Scott, Pete and Jack for winning the tournament. Eldar, tyranids and orks in the top three :)
Commiserations to Paul for winning the spoon. (He wanted it really)

The painting competition is also a big highlight for any event that we run, it is always impressive what some people can do with this hobby and people really brought their A game.

Here are some of the pictures of the entries.




 

























Some famtastic effort into each and every entry! It makes an event so much better to see every army so lovingly painted. 

Here are the winners of the painting competitions.


Winner of individual model Dave
Winner of vehicle Richard from the Celestial Forge
Winner of squad Bruce from Six Up Save

I did manage to get some pictures of the games, here are the ones that my camera did not ruin :).













The spoon off



The battle for first place took part over three tables.

Nids vs necrons

Dark eldar vs orks for a nailbiting draw


Eldar vs grey knights


I hope that you all enjoyed the day as much as I did and I look forward to see you at our next tournament, this time I am luckily taking part. :) Keep an eye on the blog and facebook for updates about when and what we are running in the summer. Bring your friends and hopefully next time we can have even more people attend.

Confessions of a Warhammer Wife

By
Confessions of a Warhammer Wife Bruce’s obsession with Warhammer was only revealed to me during our second year of dating. We had been together a long time by then – had even lived together for the majority of that time while at University. And still I didn’t know about this one aspect of Bruce’s nerd-dom. When Bruce and I first began dating I was fully aware of – even besotted by - his nerdy credentials. Together we had played hours of Halo 3 and Mario Kart, swapped manga and even visited the cinema for a solo late night screening of Star Trek. Yet this did not prepare me for what would become one of his main loves in life. It all started back in 2012. We had been living separately back at our parents’ homes after University – me in Yorkshire, he in Worcester. I would often travel down to visit him and on one such occasion I was told of a new friend Bruce had made through work. Damien. They had apparently bonded when Bruce had taken on old model – a Tyranid Warrior I beli...

Worcester Wargames 40K Doubles .

By
It's that time of year again! The Six Up Save lads are painting last mintue details and packing our carry cases in preparation for another one of Worcester Wargames awesome local Tournaments . This years contest comes with a twist; the doubles teams will be paired up at random! From what we are given to understand Andy (the TO) is pairing people up with respective armies (Imperium with Imperium, Orks with Orks etc) but we wont know exactly who our teammates are until the morning of the Tourney. The day will consist of 3 games, one person on each team will be playing Maelstrom objectives and his teammate will be playing for standard objectives on the same board, so it will be an interesting mix up of normal game rules. I'm taking my Redeemer's, but due to lack of time / laziness I'm just taking the exact same list as my Six Up Save League. It's hardley optimised for competitive gameplay, but its fun, fluffy and means I don't have to stress about painting any...

Jericho Reach: First Encounters

By
The galaxy was surrounded by the Hive Fleet however those whom arrived by space travel found that the Fleet parted to allow slender corridors for travel into the Jericho galaxy. However the Tyranids did not so much as stir or attack the space craft.  Each army sent their favoured heroes and their chosen acolytes. On the mining planet of Rheelas the Howling Griffons led by Chaplain Titus within his great Dreadnought armour were the first to engage in battle with the Necrons led by Overlord Naile. However both commanders understood it would do no good to exterminate each other. They both strategically retreated to fight another day. If Khorne was watching he would be greatly angered by the lack of bloodshed. Overlord Naile was able to claim the relic weapon known as Void Reaper and within the mining facility found a Tomb World filled by his Laharl Dynasty brothers.  The Howling Griffons were then ambushed by the Thousand Sons led by the Daemon Prince known in Low Gothi...
