Conflict 07

Its the day after Conflict (at the time of writing), the big Warhammer tournament has come and gone. I can't believe I placed 15th overall!!!! Yes that's 15th which is significantly better than last place last year, though I did take home best sporting last year. I can't even begin to explain how awesome the result is for me. As you probably would know from the blog, in the week leading up to Conflict I managed to squeeze in a couple of games at the GW Melbourne Central Store I think that helped significantly to me understanding how my army works or can work I should say, better.
Saturday evening I met up with Richard and Alistair, two dudes I met at last years Conflict and have kept in touch with. We played a series of games that evening before crashing at Richards. The plan being to head into Box Hill together the next morning. I've posted just a couple of photos from Saturday evening below;

Here's a picture of Richard & I

Alistair & I

This year despite not coming home with any "prize" I had the best day of Warhammer gaming I've ever had.
Now before I ramble on any further there are plenty more photos which I've uploaded here, http://profile.imageshack.us/user/lennyk/ click on the tag labelled Conflict and it should bring up all the photos I took at conflict.

Having previously establishing a reputation for myself having come last in the previous tournament I was greeted by 2 very friendly and familiar faces, that said, "Lennyyyy! You're here, now go in the corner and adopt the position." in reference to me "bending over" and taking it like a man???? Chris, James & I

So onto the games I played,

Nicholas Read

My first very worthy opponent was Nick. He's got a really nicely painted Khorne Army. We had a good game and I got real lucky with my chariot and boar boyz on the charge after wiping out his warhounds. Not so good for Nick but he was a real good sport and I really enjoyed playing against him. I hope he had as much fun playing against my random orcs. The result was a Massacre in favour of the Orcs, bad luck to the Chaos worshipers of Khorne.

Bretonian Knights
My second opponent was Lachlan Tom. Unfortunately I didn't get a snapshot of him with his army before the game. The photo above of his Bretonian knights will have to suffice, my apologies Lachy. It was an interesting game, I managed to get the charges on his knights by the 2nd turn and subsequently the flanks but his knights just refused to give in. I ended up fighting 3 combats wining every time but they refused to break and eventually slaughtered off my poor orcs. The result was a Massacre in favour of the Bretonians, well done Lachy.

My last and final opponent was Paul Mayo with his vampire counts army. The vampire counts have some really awesome background and the necromancy and fear causing units are a force to be reckoned with. Paul little did we know also took out 1st place this year at Conflict, so my claim to fame is I played the winner of Conflict 07 :). With skeleton warriors being raised all over the shop, units failing fear checks and refusing to charge and stuff eventually getting slaughtered at the masterful hand of the general of the most fearsome Lahmian vampire army at Conflict, the result was a Massacre in favour of the Vampires.

So as you can see it was a great day at Conflict, I had a blast. Played awesome and very sporting opponents and got to see some really cool armies. Anyone who's interested there are more photos as alluded to earlier, available at http://profile.imageshack.us/user/lennyk/ just click on the tag labelled Conflict.

That's all from me for now, its back to slaving at uni for the next couple of weeks before anymore hobby gets done I'm afraid.
