2011 CHAMPIONSHIP GETS UNDERWAY
18 players gathered at Mansfields Gas Club for the opening event of the Epic UK Championship, when the dust had settled Steve Gullick (Eldar) emerged victorious defeating Kevin Bott (Codex Marines) in the deciding game. Kev took 2nd place with Bob Wolstencroft (Black Templars) taking 3rd in a very tightly bunched field. Martyn Thomas won a 3 way dice-off to take the most sporting award, whilst Matt Arnold and Mike Mee took the painting awards in a very high standard group of armies.
Particular mention must go to Bob Wolstencroft who, courtesy of a devastating orbital bombardment and drop, defeated Matt Arnold in under 5 minutes, the first appearances of the Ulthwe, Iyanden and Tau lists and highest ever finishes for Kev, Bob, Mike Thomas and Mike Mee.
The next event is Into the Breach on 12th/13th March in Stockport with tickets currently on sale
