To celebrate Epic, beer, friendship, truth, beauty and love the Stomp Informal was held on Saturday the 31st at the Northwest Gaming Centre. Seven avid Epic gamers gathered for an informal afternoon's gaming.
The intrepid crew from left to right: Darren, Chris, SPAYSE, Mike, Matt, Mark and Si.
Si and SPAYSE's combined 6,000 points of Imperial Guard clashed with the Chris and Mike Raven Wing / Shi'Tkno Eldar alliance. ("Do you know which Craftworld your Eldar are from Mike?" "Shi'Tkno!")
Meanwhile Mark's Warlock Titan causes Darren serious rolling engagement problems. Mark would adopt the moniker "Stomp" were he to wake up from the Matrix. Darren is undecided.
Along with Mike and Matt, this was SPAYSE's first Epic event.
He threw himself into the festivities Jamie Perkins style, and was not in a fit state to accompany the rest of us to rock out at Caged Asyum afterwards.
The Epic community are also reminded of this October's inaugural Stockport Stockade event - two days of rocktacular Epic tournament gaming with a veritable smorgasbord of subtle scenario variations to keep generals on their toes. The event will be held on the 8th and 9th of October, and tickets are available for £20.
