Yes, that's right folks, it's been another year and another Wintery yet Warm success over at Bristol's third Epic: Armageddon chilled out gaming day tournament :-)

24 players out of 30 managed to make it down for the day and we've got yet another unpredictable result for you to figure out!

Cut and Thrust Wargames hosted us once again,

and our scenery had been made a little more pretty this year:




After registering the players and weighing them in to see if we could officially become the UK's HEAVIEST EPIC TOURNAMENT gaming began in earnest:
MOK in action

Angor Looks Displeased

Warrior of Ultramar hides his face

Whilst Cai looks on in disapproval at the sheer amount of FW Valkyries!

Wheres the last part?

Onto the big three (Hush Cut and Thrust!)

Angor comes in 3rd after his pesky cubes teleport everywhere!


A tied position for 2nd place! Matt Arnold and Al Wetherall both win themselves a pre-release exodus wars Behomoth!



And BEN EDGAR...the most robot like Epic Opponent Ever...wins Brsitol Winter Warmer for a third year in a row...winning yet more in store credit!

Don't worry folks...we've made him promise to test his mettle at an EpicUK Tournament soon: is he really the UK's ultimate 6mm sci fi gamer or can the likes of Dave Thomas, Joe Jephson or other top ranked players defeat this man?! Tune in next year!

So long and thanks...for all the fish!
Yrs,

Best way to avoid these problems Dave, is to not win anything.... That's my excuse anyway....!

The first year it wasn't too bad. He mixed me up with Jonluke - the wanna be model of the epic community.
