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...

August Apocalypse

By
Hi All, Its Martin. Our very own Sam, with the help of Matt and Andy from Worcester Wargames put together an Apocalypse game that saw the mighty Imperial armies battling against every Xeno army going (I played my Eldar on the Xeno's team). To allow this to happen, all Xeno's were made allies of convenience to prevent us turning on each other! From Six Up save other than myself, we had Jamie 1 and 2, Bruce, Sam, Dae, and Matt playing in the event. The tournament was a 1 day main event with a sub mission played the night before. Each team had a 'Warlord', Dae for the Xeno's and SUS's newest member Jamie2 for the Imperium. It was their task to coordinate their respective teams towards their targets and agendas. I would say both did an awesome job at keeping their teams in order and directing troops to where they were needed. Each player had 2000 points to spend on their chosen armies but they could only have 1 LOW / Gargantuan per list and within t...

Jamie #1's Imperial knights of Fenris!

By
Greetings Brothers of War, Jamie here with a little project that i'm working on with Sam's help. I am in the process of constructing 5 Imperial Knights. That's right 5 of the beauts! I plan to have a mix of loadouts to both look great on the shelf and be powerhouses on the tabletop. Fortunatly I had built a Kinght before, so I already had a good idea how to put them together. I have (with assistance from Sam) managed to magnetize the knights in several places allowing for a wide variety of weapons to be used. The megnets are joining the mid section, shoulders, elbows, the thermal and battle cannon turrets for easy swapping, and the carapace weapon on top. The clips that normally hold the shoulders on have been cut away to allow a flat surface for the magnet. On the joint I placed a penny to create that flat surface for the magnet. This was fiddly as we needed to make sure that each shoulder magnet was able to attach to all the shoulders for all models. We had to ens...
