My plan is to do a few posts over the next week or so in some form of catch up.
Firstly the ETC!
This was a eye opening event for me, my team mates (Luke, Paul, Kenny) where great fun over the weekend and my various opponents from around the UK & Europe where a pleasure.

* Black Ivan (10pts)
* Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker (2pts)

Lady Aiyana & Master Holt (4pts)
Winter Guard Infantry (Leader and 9 Grunts) (6pts)
* Winter Guard Infantry Officer & Standard (2pts)
* 1 Winter Guard Infantry Rocketeer (1pts)
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution (3pts)
Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich (2pts)
To summarise;
Game 1: Friday Night
First match up was against a Danish Team. I got drawn against another Khador Player (They had 2) with a pIrusk list very similar to the one I had played for before deciding to go with The Old Witch. I knew his units and this would prove to help out. It was a hard pressed game, but in the end his greater experience and a well timed feat won through. And i lost my first game, my other team mates other than Luke also lost, so the Team was 0-1 down as was I.
Game 2: Saturday Morning
First match of the day against Team Epic Slayer, I got possibly the work match up with eHaley Dual Stormwall, with my infantry heavy list and the covering fire templates the Stormwalls locked me out of the game. My opponent was very sporting and said at the start of the match that he felt sorry for me!
The Team also lost putting us on 0-2.
Game 3: Saturday Lunch
I was a bit frustrated by this point as was Team Captain Paul, neither of us or the team had a win yet and our optimism was failing. We where drawn against another northern team, this one from closer to by old home town, Sunderland.
Paul used our team feat this round to secure to solid match ups. I was placed against the Skorne Fatman Rasketh. I secured the first turn and advanced aggressively, my opponent followed suit, I then advanced again and feated, this was decisive and caused me to have 2 turns of attacking several of my opponents key pieces, and eventualy Rasketh fell to the blows of my Kayazy Assassins. A pretty solid win and a great boost for my confidence!
Game 4: Saturday Evening
Last game of the day, and I dearly wanted to finish the day on even win to loss ratio. Drawn against one of the York teams, Paul was keen for us to put them in their place (Paul being from York!). I was paired against the troll player with epic Madrak. I fancied my chances hear as I have played trolls myself and play against them pretty regularly. Again the feat was decisive allowing me to kill all the Tuffaloes and a Diretroll before the lines really engaged, putting me up on the attrition, and eventually Madrak died to massed fire.
Team also won, putting us both on 2-2!
Game 5: Sunday Morning
Old Witch Mirror Match! This was an interesting game, i had gone for a less traditional OW list in that i had 2 Jacks totalling 23 points. My opponents list was far more optimised, and as such i was forced to feat first to defend the scenario, which would ultimately seal my fate. Luckily the team had a better round putting me on 2-3 and the team on 3-2.
Game 6: Sunday Afternoon
This was the match-up i had been waiting for, Cryx with eGaspy. A truly sick caster, but i had one of the few feats in the game that can prevent his from working. Sadly i would not get to play the game out, as my opponent didnt move his caster far enough forward in the second turn and died to the effects of the Kill Box artifice. The team did not fair so well, and we both finished on 3-3, and bang on target for what we wanted in our first ETC!
So I had an awesome weekend! Both from playing games against new and varied opponents, and from spending some quality time with my gaming buddies! We shall never speak of the late night shopping channel again!
Was a great weekend - shopping channel
