This March/April will be the 2012 Vanquish 40K Tournament and this year will mark The Bristol Vanguard’s 5th Anniversary of the event.
Among the usual tweaks and improvements on the last Vanquish, 2012 will feature 1750 point list limit, which is less about following the current trend but more about giving those extra points for you to add a little extra flavour to your lists in the form of forgeworlds units.... thats right! you read it here, forgeworld units in a Tournament..... and why not.
We run a mild comp system to allow players to avoid games against the same old netlists and add a selection of special secondary objectives for the tactically minded to go for! And the traditional Vangard food stand will be in attendance, with a selection of finely priced and tasty home baked snacks and sandwiches!
Also, in celebration, every entrant will be entered into our very own Vanquish prize draw based on the number of previous Vanquishes attended. Aren’t we a nice bunch of war gamers?
So, click HERE (http://www.bristolvanguard.co.uk/Site/VANQUISH_count_down.html) for a copy of the rules pack and application form. Tickets £25 each.
Tickets tend to sell out on this one but if you're keen on attending a well established tournament on some great terrain then its a good one!
-
Yay lucky me I already signed up! :)
H now to also end up on nr 1 spot :P
I can definately recommend this one to everyone! :D
Great fun, great tables, great staff! :D
-
I might come. If only to hang out with people.
The effort involved painting armies...and playing games with Orks... Yeah.
-
Maybe I'll come to this one.
-
Zilverscale was so keen he put his money down before we even wrote the rulespack!
-
I am sorely tempted, especially after having missed Spoils of War
-
Me too. I'll see what Tarrin is up to, and perhaps my bro, Final Justice. Another mate of ours is up for it too.
-
Same old for me... difficult for me to break away for a whole weekend of gaming... maybe if I ask and poke enough then I'll get a green light. I'm eager to head over to one of the Vanquish events but never manage to materialise there!
PS: are you sure a tournament on april fools day is the best thing??
-

Ofcourse I am keen for this :)
As said great staff and peeps there etc ;)
Last vanquish was a blast and spoils was a blast 2 :D
-
I'm also going to try this year.
Again, it's the whole weekend thing that is the potential sticking point, but I suspect if I book it early enough I could be fine.
-
I have sent an email requesting a spot be put aside for me. Its a great event.
-

So.. Moz Peachy thinks he's better than everybody else eh!?
Sorry I won't be able to make it! Two day events look like they are right out the window for me... :(
For a shameless hijack, I'm in contact with triple helix wargames about setting up the next 40kOnline (1day) tournament so hopefully you'll all be up for that!!!

If you can get a date set up for that I'd like to know asap due to holiday time off applications needing to be sent in end of this month -.-
-
PM me Oink when the date is set for this years 40k online tournie please.
Like you id do Vanquish, but two day events are beyond me due to family commitments.
Looks like this will be a great gig, enjoy guys, i look forward to the batreps :)
-
Me too - I can do it if I can get my parents to look after my kids, and they are asking me about dates so that they can book their weeks away. I get first dibs, IF I can get my date in the diary first.

If all fails you can always drop them off at Oinks child daycare center for 40k addicts ;)
-
Likewise. I have loads to deal with over summer so dates asap. especially as i intend to order a pimms and lemonade with my curry!
11/12 August would be best for me!
-
I've e-mailed Charlotte from THW about it... either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th weekend in August. Waiting to see what they have free... I've said that sundays would probably be best. That way people can head down the night before on a saturday without needing to worry about getting out of work / uni etc... and we usually finish before dinner so it should be okay to get back before monday!
Also, g00gle5 tells me that he's been working on some new (and interesting) plans for this time around.
I hope I get more confirmation from THW before the end of the month.
Again, sorry for hijacking.

Again, sorry for hijacking.
I forgive nothing! Get out of my thread you off topic freeloaders! :P

List is in. painting still going.
Bring it on.
Decided what flavour you are going to lose with Zilverscale?
-
I sent in 2 list in case that I do not finish on my primary list (Chaos Guard) I'll be comming with 13th company SW
-
I want to see reports about the games and this event. I wish I could have made it. My final critiques are the 3rd and 4th and thus it'd be incredibly foolish to go. But, I made that decision a while back.
-
Results are up and in.
I play zilverscale in the first game and he beat me. Scissors vs rock sadly.
