I will go into in depth coverage of the Origins Rogue Trader Tournament soon, but first I promised to post the results of the tourny.  Here they are (from a possible 100 points):

 Prize Winners:

Allen Bount -- Winner for Best Painting

Craig Collins -- Winner for Best Sportsmanship

Jason Garner -- Winner for Best General

And finally...

Patrick Smith -- Grand Champion

Thanks one and all for everyone who was there.  We all had a great time!

Origins -- Day Two

Posted by Ranillon on 26. June 2009 21:49

The second day of Origins was the Apocalypse game.  Sadly, turn out was somewhat disappointing, but we had a good idea -- seems there was another Apocalypse with the same basic rules going on two tables down.  So, we combined the two.  The result was a ~95,000 point battle!

Here are some pictures of the action (click to embiggen):

Here is a video showing off the board in the midst of the first turn.

And here are the winners of the award certificates -- "He Died With His Boots On", Most Impressive Model, and Most Objective Points respectively):

All-in-all it was a lot of fun.  The only real problem is my feet -- I'm getting too old to stand up all day!

Origins -- Day One

The first day of Origins has (at least for us) come and gone -- and it was a heck of a lot of fun.  The 40K Space Hulk games went as well as I could have hoped.

Here are two pictures from the first game:

Here is a picture from the second game.  Note the 40KOrigins table behind the action.  The black box holds the trophies.

Finally, here is a bit of video of our gaming table:

GBPrime did a great job of explaining the game to our players, most of which weren't experienced 40K players.  Score for for growing the hobby!

More to come...

Origins Handouts

On the literal eve of Origins I present to you all the handouts we will be using in handy PDF format.  The first two are "presentation" sheets I did up all pretty like.

Origins Questionnaire

Origins Official Apocalypse Rules

Origins RTT Rules

Origins RTT Scenaro Information

Origins 40K Space Hulk Cheat Sheet

The questionnaire is open to anyone to fill out and send back.  We want to know what people are interested in seeing and playing!

Booty Time!

No, not that type of booty.  Rather, this is the booty you can get for winning one of the awards at the Origins RTT.

An Assault on Black Reach box set for the Best Sportsman and a Foundation Paint Set for the Best Painter.

A Cadian Battalion box for the Grand Champion and a Land Raider Crusader/Redeemer for the Best General.

Add in the trophies and there is about $450 worth of prizes up for grabs.  See you at Origins!
