40k Battle Report: Imperial Fists Vs Space Wolves


Hello 40k Aficionados!
Capture and Control continues our battle reports with some Imperial Fist on Space Wolf action. PythNutD’s Space Wolves were scheduled for a Game Empire Avellorn campaign game against SgtBarkers’ wonderfully airbrushed Imperial Fists and Pyth had the foresight to remember to bring his camera.
The downside of playing in a gaming store that caters to so many game systems is that on occasion you have to fight for a table. On this particular day we showed up to find that there was a MTG release event and every table in the house was in use. However the staff was nice enough to allow us to put together a table on the sun-bathed patio next to the parking lot so we could still get a game in.

New Player 101: Tournaments and you.

I love playing in tournaments.  I am a super competitive person, if I play a game or sport I play to be the best I can be.  The 40k tournament scene provides me with an outlet for that competitive side of my personality but tournaments provide me with something even more important.  Experience.  Experience is what makes playing in tournaments for 40k, Fantasy Battle, Warmachine/Hordes, Flames of War, Magic the Gathering, Poker etc. worth the investment of time and money.  This experience is why I always suggest that new/returning players play in a few tournaments.  Let's look at why tournaments can be so beneficial to New Players.
