Hmmm, altho gazza would have (probably ) beaten me anyway its worth noteing the following

1. Id never played with a Human team before 9only got them on the morning of the tournament)
2. I had been drinking since 10am the previous day
3. (see above) my humans are the shadowforge Nuns, Gazza's pro elves are GW, at one point i had to ask if a model i wanted to dodge out was one of mine!!! (It was'nt)

Why not bring Pro elves then? this rule set is great for all the elven teams

[nazgob]

i has no elf minis

otherwise, i would be sorely tempted. i'm building a *** elf team. the minis will allow for:
2 blitzer types
1 thrower
3 catcher types
7 linemen

i'll be able to use them interchangeably as wood elves, pro elves and high elves (though high elves suck)

[Glowworm]

Ive got pro-elves if you wanted to use them, at this rate it will be a "winning team" for glowworm.....I wont be the coach tho

7 lino's
4 catchers
1 thrower
2 blitzers

All nicely painted (by Buggritt)

though high elves suck

The gaffer used high elves at last years Newquay, only time Ive played them in tournaments, they seemed ok to me (I lost, whats new)

[Buggrit]

I played Gaffer last years Newquay too.. lost as well (I did take 'Flings though!!)

Looking forwards to this one... will practise my drinking when I'm packed and ready!!

7 1/2 hours left of work.

of those two hours that went, i spent at least 30 minutes on the forums. i'll see if i can bring that up to 50%

9 1/2 hours
5 1/2 hours on the forums

1 slight scare from an overly inquisitive manager

goal achieved

now for a nice evening with Mrs Nazgob before my three day bloodbowl fest (still haven't finished painting my star player yet).

[Glowworm]

Good luck to all this weekend

dont care if i win or lose (that'll be lose then) just hoping for 6 good games for both myself and my opponents

[Gazza]

With a few beers to ease us through the day

[Hudson]

If you can bring the vamps i might use them.

No problems (rushs off to swap carry cases )

[nazgob]

Morning all. 24 hours to go. Still painting and making teamsheets Weathers clearing up nicely too - should be a good day in the south west.

[Hudson]

first casualty of the day is buggerits bathroom. projectile vomit all over the wall.

[sann0638]

10 point penalty! Have a great weekend guys.

[Buggrit]

Actually after I'd cleaned up the areas I'd spewed on were cleaner than the rest of the bathroom!!! I'm blaming a Dodgy Chicken Burger from 'Spoons!! Like Glowworm said "I've seen you drink more than that and not be sick, and my (ordinary) burger, if it'd been a steak it'd have been medium rare."
I have obviously been taking a merciless ribbing from the worm, hudson, naz et al for this... only really felt better this evening after a very spicy sauce on a lovely mexican meal and a bottle of Rattler!!
Currently 1-1-1 and playing Naz first game of the AM, they've decided we can stack Day 2 skills too..... (could be facing about 7 guarders on a human team - Powergamer)

[nazgob]

Just want to say a massive thanks to Hudson for organising such a great event. Only my second tournament, but its defintely encouraging me to go to more.

Special mention to Glowworm for being a wonderful man and giving me a lift there and back.
