End of term… final clashes

The final day of ‘gaming for the term. Peter won the Kill team tournament, and Alex won the scenery construction competition, with his Chaos ruins.

The rules of the competition were simple: the scenery had to be created using recycled materials, no off the shelf scenery products allowed. We thought the Chaos ruins were pretty cool.

Our thanks again to Comics Compulsion, Manchester Street, for providing a couple of prizes for the competitions. Remember to support them as you expand your armies.

Last day of sneaking and dirty tricks…

This was the fourth and last week of Kill team goodness, sneaking and dirty tricks. We’ll announce the winner in due course, but here are a few more photos of some nice little terrain pieces that guys have made. These will be judged next week as a part of our final day. The challenge was to construct interesting terrain pieces using only recycled materials.

Sneaky orks...

Chaos tainted the very rocks...

Another day at the war.. whew!!

Another day or two of serious Kill Team ‘gaming here,, this is tough, it’s a heck of a job, but I guess someone has to do it.. (Remember to click on the images below to see more detail).

Hmm.. 1+1 is 2, how many points was that again?

Where did they go?

Ewww.. Chaos. everywhere..

And we had our fair share of those ‘gaming moments’, where the dice just wanted to play their own game…

OO Nooooooooo... I only needed 2+ to kill..

Hmm.. I suspect that someone did badly on the other end of these dice..

Term 1 Kill team tournament

The College Wargames group usually tries to play one tournament each year. This year it’s a Kill Team tournament. We will try to accumulate some photos of our ‘spiffing good adventures’ on this blog.

The tournament is being kindly supported by Comics Compulsion, Manchester Street, Christchurch.. a good bunch of guys that deserve our support too.

You can click on the photos to see more detail.
