Unspeakable Acts: The Daemonic Incursion

Enemy at the Gates

6 April saw the Daemonic incursion as predicted by the Empire Observers. The Eye of Terror opened, and a host of Daemons poured through the rent in the warp into the realm of mortals, both into the feudal world of Warhammer and the high tech realm of the 40th millenium:

In what we think may be a NZ, if not world first, multiple players (10+) on either side, played a simultaneous Fantasy and 40K game on one big table!

The Fantasy contingent fought the Defence of Kislev, while the 40K contingent has an invasion of a Jungle World, somewhere in the Eye.

Great fun was had by one and all, resulting in a restoration of the equilibrium:
In the 40th Millenium Chaos and the Daemons triumphed, while in Defenders of Kislev were succesful in defending the ramparts of the city against the Daemonic incursion.

Hamish dealing with a Vampiric incursion. Excellent support for the team provided by Fern throughout the two days, even painting some Skaven, to boot...

Some armies were absolute works of art...

This was my first tournament, which I approached with just a bit of trepidation, but I found all the opponents I came up against accepting of my lack of tournament experience and ignorance of some of the finer niceties of the 8th edition rules. Took out a win against Lizardmen, Two draws (Brettonia and Dark Elves) on my first outing

We came in 8th overall, which was a little disappointing for some, but I am generally quite satisfied with our performance (being the newbie)

Still some bragging rights in that: I suppose KWC's Kapiti Krushers are now Ranked no 8 team in NZ until next year.

Not bad for a start, I think... And…we beat the Aussies (yay!)
