I'll be bringing some terrain to help with the boards, though the quality couldn't be too high due to time limits. This is Mike, I'll be playing Eldar.

Also, not a big issue, but my name is spelled Jon Frizzell. =P

Now for some in-game pictures:

Is that my techmarine in Delso's army? Yea...

There's something bigger than me here...

Watch out for them jungle bugs!

The previous Tyranids and the IG here both blended into their tables. I didn't even plan that!

132-odd models vs 30-some. Ruh rohs!

Grots, grots, grots!

Turn 2 combat for Friz's cheaty-face Orks.

Terminators splattering the saint against the wall.

Travesty of fighting other Necrons was so great that one laid down in the fetal position before the rest went into combat.

(Didn't do it on purpose either)

Condensed Orks

The IF managed to kill 6 of the 8 MC's in this game, despite the massed cover.

In regards to the Land Raiders: The last time I played with them (and all the times before that back to when they came out with the model), they always get shot with everything and blow up first.

Where is my army pic? I left my army out for it.

It was up, then it went away the next time I came on this thread. There were some really good and fun matchups to watch throughout the day. No blowouts really, aside from the Bears-Bengals game which we will not discuss.

"What's my job? Oh, I'm retired now. I invented dice when I was a kid."

Cheap shots are most often the best shots...and the most satisfying.

Hi, guys. New guy here, joined the day of Halloween tourney. I was playing the Ultramarines. Just wanted to say that I thought the tournament was a lot of fun. The terrain was great, kudos to those who made/setup the tables. Thought everyone was fun to play against also. Good stuff.
