Instead of a post this week I'll go for a . I had an amazing weekend at the Warhammer World matched play GT last weekend. They were the first big events I ever attended and are still my favourite. A stretch hobby goal of mine has been to get a painting award at one of these events as in experience the competition is fierce. I took a drukhari list filled with my best painted units and made to show off the factions diverse aesthetic range.

Long story short, I took home best painted as voted by the attendees AND as I was there I thought I may as well win the bloody event. So in true Archonic fashion I took home both top prizes. I am one happy Archon, all the loots are mine.

To achieve even one of these two goals would have been huge for me but you take home both is beyond real. That you to all who voted for me in the painting award and to all my opponents for our games, particularly for our super cagey mirror.

Going to take a bit of a break from events but I'll be back at it again later in the year and maybe bring home more gold for my trophy Wracks.

Biggest thanks goes to my Baron brothers
And for an amazing weekend with all the support and shenanigans a guy could ask for.

See you soon Realspace.

Archon George
