Or have a nice friend who can paint, thanks Geggster!
Hear Hear! Cheers mate.
Geggster can I borrow some Humans for next year?
Placed 38th on gameplay (W, 1-0 loss to the overall winner (quite chuffed with that game even though I lost), 2-1 loss, D, W, W) helped out by big win margins. But slipped out the top 50 with painting etc. added in.
Not a bad showing for my first tournament, and better than my predicted 176-200
I got halfway there. The .500 record was secured with my last game victory, but the placing? somewhere around the 140s. 4 draws do not give a good tourney placing.

Rolled pitch invasion agains chaos in my last game. 4 of my scrum line were placed face down eating grass and another was sent to the derd box leaving borak on f his warriors to run riot on who ever was left standing.

The Cutlery King - Winner of 6 Wooden spoons... and proud of each one!
And the classic Pitch invasion in our friendly on the friday night...total of ten players injured, including six of my Skaven when I only had 7 left on pitch. Not often its easier just to roll for the guy who DOESN'T get hit! Four of them went to the cas box.

Managed to have pitch invasion rolled against me twice. The first time saw five of my team leaving the pitch, the second time saw six fall over and carried off (and that was on the first turn of the game).
I also managed to regularly get members of my front line hit by a rock from the crowd! Even black orcs don't like that.
I've also never seen as much bad weather as I rolled for those two days. My surehanded orc thrower spent 12 turns during the match trying to pick the ball up in the pouring rain, with either none of my opponents standing or within 4 squares of the end zone. That's 24 attempts on a 4+! I also managed to roll 2 blizards and a heat wave....
A good weekend though, having that much bad luck you just have to enjoy it. It was spoilt slightly by my second opponent who tried to bring back two dwarves in the second half who had been sent off for fouling, and then who walked off with one of my lin-orcs in his case.
Finished 81, 2 wins, 3 loss (2:1) and 1 draw (neither of us could pick up the ball in the rain - me because of a stupid orc thrower, him because of the rest of the orc team standing around the ball!).
I think I voted for 75 -125 (it's a long time since I started this ), got 97th, so I'm well chuffed.

Hello Longshot
Yes, the Howling Hamsters crashed and died on a regular basis - but that's orcs for you!
Still, managed to place above a certain Frenchman playing wood elves...and a long fanged Englishman....just....
well i went for the 176-200 range and was pleasently surprised that there was only 175 taking part (i'd already done better than expected) finished 165th out of that 175 and with a halfling team i think that was quite respectable. it was my first tourney ever and the first lot of games that i'd played for ages (well around 4 or 5 years) so to not finish bottom was a great achievment. can't wait for the next one to roll around.
