Why would you want a Chaos Dwarf in your car?

[Wilf]

Yes Stu you can still sign up. Cash on the day is fine. Can you let me know for definite if you're coming.

[Stu]

I'll be there, sorry to leave it so late. My NAF ID is Stu2, #7741, I'll need a membership renewal on the day.

Well done to Wilf for another cool tournament held in St Albans called STABB. This is the 5th iteration, and there's even a beer festival thrown in!

I made people uneasy by taking a few photos:

My first round draw vs Val's Skaven. Lost 2-4 as I simply couldn't roll to break armour despite plenty of splats. A failed rerolled handoff in turn 8 meant I went into the 2nd half 1-2 down. Could have been a much different game, but a Skaven Blitz! in the 2nd half sealed it.


A quick photo of the Undead vs Skaven set up.


Game 2 - For the first time in STABB Pete (DukeTyrion) and I played each other... 1-1 as the goblins did well to recover for a draw proving that the reigning Stunty Cup winners were worthy of their titles!


Yup, that's Pete and a post match photo of the minis in formation. Not actual game footage...


Stu (stu2) and his luckless Chaos Dwarves... He made the mistake of using my dice, so lost 1-0. And it was a blizzard ALL game! Finished the 1st day with a 1/1/1 record.


The full Undead squad (1 of 5 Undead teams at STABB!!, as well as a Necromancer coach, a skeleton and a zombie for any unfortunates that want to join the team:

Wil,

Thanks for running the STABB Cup again - on a personal note I will always try to attend as it's been a great occasion year on year. Thanks for all the effort you put in to getting it on the tournament map.

To all my opponents, thanks for the crushing lessons in Blood Bowl.

[DukeTyrion]

Thanks for running another great tourney Wil.

Glad you also got to play a few games too!

[howlinggriffon]

Many thanks Wil - as ever an awesome tournament. Top weekend of geekery.

[besters]

Great fun 6 good fun games, apologies to Heff for the dicing.

Thanks to Wil, good location, magic tournament!

[J_Bone]

Had a wicked time this weekend and was made up to win Best Painted. My Blood Bowl gameplay definitely needs some work but I learned a few important lessons. Thanks to everybody I played! I'm already counting down to next year!

[Wulfyn]

Amazing weekend. First tournament win and also first time i have been pitched! 3 dice blocks against a saurus utter filth j bone!

Food and beer festival was amazing. I belive mubo and maverick are going to have a running race, and yogi is being entered into Britain's Got Talent. And 3 great dice sets acquired as well.

Thanks Wilf for running another great event!

[TheDoc]

Thanks Wilf, a great tournament. I will try and get back again before the next rugby world cup!

[Mattedge666]

Thanks Wilf for organising and the STABB dice .etc. I had a great weekend and 6 varied and fun games and opponents, cheers everyone. Excellent evening fun with the dinner and St Albans beer festival too!

Back to the drawing board BB-wise for me! My wooden spoon has taken 'pride' of place on my bookshelf. I fully intend to come back next year and fail to defend this trophy...

P.S Cheers J-Bone for the excellent dice set and to you and Yogi at the beer festival for the stories and laughs!
