Well, it was a long week but we had an amazing time! Results are being finalized with GW this week. We should have all our scores put into a presentable format in the next day or so. As soon as we do we will post results from the GT and pics from all the other events. We had more than 100 partcipants in the introductory scenarios before Saturday! WOW talk about being tired ( Alan Loved it!).

The tournaments were a big success as well, and we had a few memborable moments....like a single eldar farseer rolling perils 3 turns in a row...despite runes and a helm ( then proceeed to break and run off the board the first turn of his next game )!! We also had a twin close combat weapon chaos Drednought fire frenzy and kill another drednought.........with his flamer.....

Another Eldar player had 4 in a single game....on the same table as the other one!! ( we've got a cursed table apparently--ed.)So with that in mind we contemplated changeing the tournament name to peril in the Origins, but reason prevailed.

We gave away tickets to the 2012 Throne of Skulls tournament to be held in Memphis. The winners came out ahead in a good sized field of players with incredibly close scores. We had the top 5 players with indentical battle scores. We fell back to sportsmanship to determine a winner, but we still had a three way tie, so we moved on to painting. There was a tie there again! We had two more people judge the paint on those last two armies, and the winner took his position by a single point!!!

All in all a spectacular weekend with some great people makes for a good time to me. Next year Origins will be Bigger and better than ever if you play Fantasy or 40k....or gothic, or space hulk or necromunda.....YYEEEESSSSSS plans we have.....
