Origins 2011 is under way!!

Posted by Shadowvast on 22. June 2011 20:32

Well, Day one is well under way and we are all set to ramp up for this week's big events. Aside from all the small scenario games ( dont miss the starlight trailer park from "the last Starfighter")  we are running three tournaments this week. The first is tomorrow. We have the 8 army challenge beginnig at 9am tomorrow. This unique event requires you to bring nothing but skill. We are providing painted forces to play with. The tournament consists of 8 45 minute rounds. In each round you will play a different army against a different opponent! This one will test the skill of even seasoned veterans by forcing you to play a different army every round!

Friday at 8am is our "hobby" doubles tournament set during the seige of a deathworld. The three round tournament features linked missions that tell the story of a brutal conflict fought over the remains of a ruined rural settlement. This is a doubles tournament, so each team will need two 1000 point armies (each with the required 1 HQ and 2 Troop slots filled from independant force organisation charts). Three 2.5 hours rounds will be fought to determine a winning team. THere is some serious swag to be had with this one.

Saturday is the big independant GT. This 1850 point tournament is one of only two tournaments in central Ohio to be awarding tickets to the 2012 Throne of Skulls invitational tournament held in Memphis. The first and second place battle scores will earn a spot for Memphis in the spring. We  are also awarding for best painted army and best sportsmanship so bring your "A" game. Please keep in mind that these categories are scored for everyone, but they are independant of one another. ie: an unpainted army can still win for Sportsmanship, or best general.

There are a lot of things to see at Origins, so even if you cannot play in one of our events, stop in and say hello. We will all be glad to answer any questions you might have for us!!
