KWC at the Warhammer Fantasy NZTC 2014

KWC at the Warhammer Fantasy NZTC 2014

The winners: "The Team with the Guy"

So we had the 2014 NZTC in Khandallah, Wellington at the weekend. 2 days of luvverly WHF battles in team format. The KWC didn't do as well as we had hoped (or had been buffed up to do)

We fielded 2 teams - Beauty and the Beasts, and 1/250th of the League of Doom.

The experienced Tournament and Masters Level players with killer lists went into B&B (Fern, Hamish, Sam, Nick) and the Newbies with less hard-hitting lists in The LoD.

Not unexpectedly,  the LoD took out the Wooden Hammer,  or was that Wooden Spoon?  (Rex, Dave, Luc and Herman)

Wood elves vs a Dwarf Gun-line. Any bets on the outcome? 

B&B came 7th Overall in a field packed with International and National Masters level players. Not bad going guys, but not as good as they had hoped to do. An ubiquitous note was the shaming of the person who let the team down by the wearing of a blonde wig and tiara. Nick was the first to sport this dubious honour!

While the Beasts confer

A great time was had by all, new friendships (and enemies? ) made. Kudos to Pete Dunn and his team for arranging this great team event!

The topline

and the bottom line! At least not a TOTAL white-wash !

KWC Swap 2013 Day a Big Success

KWC Swap 2013 Day a Big Success

A big thank you to all who took part in our second Swap Meet. We had an excellent turnout, with gamers from all over the region coming to buy, swap and sell every type and scale of wargaming paraphernalia you can think of. 

Board games, role playing games, 40K, Warhammer, Warmachine, FoW, 20mm, and every scale smaller and larger, up to probably 54mm, I think. Pukeko games did a roaring trade too! 

You name it, it was there!

Our gratitute to the members and committee who all helped to make our second Swap Meet a roaring success. I for one went off with a load of miniatures, conversion bits, and terrain for both my loves- 20 mm WW 2 and Warhammer Fantasy. I sold quite a few carry cases, 1/72 models, the last of my 40K (CSM and SM), codexes, reference and source books, a handful of minis and lots of bits.

Some armies changed hands. Some lucky FoW gamer walked off what can only be described as an Allied Invasion force. I was sorely tempted to invest in a 15 mm Army, buy stood strong... Less so when it came to the fantasy miniatures and paints Pukeko had on sale. Showed a (small) profit for the day. The best part was the cameraderie, the friendly banter and negotiation that took place, the shared passion for our hobby. Just great stuff! If you didn't make it this year you have to try and get down to our annual Swap Meet next year October!
