THE FIRST TOURNAMENT OF WARHAMMER
WITH STEEL TENDONS
The construction of this Warhammer 40,000 army began a few years ago, the first step was the purchase games in Lucca, a beautiful miniature blisters valaliani with coats and bearskin hats. What seemed in the Russian defense of Stalingrad. Then followed more and more until you accumulate a fair number of these beautiful miniatures, I like these soldiers, with the bearskin coat and a Russian, a lot like the soldiers of the Soviet Union of World War II, naturally excluding those having fantasy weapons.
I will only have to be able to find time to paint them: as raw thumbnails or in similar abundance. The occasion was when I fell from my Moto Guzzi. When you say that, "not Every cloud has a silver lining. ". I had right shoulder surgery for the fracture of three tendons. So having starmene at home doing nothing. It would have been a nightmare. Then I came to the aid of the brace, which supported the arm. Despite this, and the immobility of the arm allowed me to paint, even the position of my arm facilitated the painting. I began to dress the color of my new army pants as the uniforms of the Napoleonic Russian army, a beautiful dark green, ocher yellow coat with black fur hat and some shades of gray was coming up ... its a good number of warriors and since the army was almost ready I began to feel even the Warhammer 40,000. And in that moment began the sorrows (not arm) but in my portfolio. Soon discovered that only the rules of the game cost 50 € (about 100,000 pounds of old) and it was not enough, we also wanted to Codex, the army needed to put up unarmata tournament. It has also mortars, cannons, laser, plasma and other gadgets futuristic. Were also used to make a good army of armored vehicles. Now here is to do a reflection, I understand the price of the thumbnails as they are lead, then it also paid the sculptor, but € 35 for a chimera or a basilisk (Armour Games Workshop in the world) seem to me a plastic bit 'too, also seems exaggerated to me also the price of a Commissioner of the Imperial Guard at 11 €. But since I have not withered other equips some of my warriors need armor in battle, such as a basilisk (gun range parabolic), two chimeras (tanks for transporting troops) hell of a gun, a wagon throwers and three watchmen (strange machines bipod shooting as Apache helicopters), then I realized that Valhallian fought often in icy worlds, then I made the bases with a new system, no grass or rocks, put it, of pumice powder first. Then when it was dry we glued on the baking ... yes just what it took after a generous libation. The effect still not made me happy, because the baking soda did not have the reflexes that real snow, and that I wanted to have thumbnails of my army, then tritai bicarbonate in a light bulb, so those pieces of glass were spread, gave the board gave those reflections of light that I wanted.
Now the army was ready to give needed only a name and flag. For the flag was easy enough, I asked Gessica, a girl (very good designer) who works as an agent in a subway station in Rome, where I also served recently. To draw a large five-pointed star, red, positioned in the center, on a black background edged with gold which resemble the banner of the soldiers of Zukof; (great Russian general who stopped the Germans at Stalingrad, and after them until Berlin), while the name was a bit 'more difficult, but we got sick with my reasoning: When and above all who gave me the opportunity to paint this army? But my tendon operation run by three small treble hooks of steel! In that day I worked? The Jan. 28. So the name was 28 ° STEEL TENDONS. With this new army to fight a few rounds I started training here at the center GULLIVER near my house. And I must publicly thank Paul and those guys kind of store "Dimenscion Chaos," which they followed me very patiently taught me the game and Regulation Warhammer 40,000. I realized, playing all regulations that I bought like, Codex, Bechground of my army, not enough since each army has its own character and fight your best you need to know them all. So I opened the bag again to buy the various Codex Orcs, Eldar, etc..
How everything seemed in order, and after clearing a lot of my bank account say that cost me almost as much as the mortgage of the house. I decided to face my first tournament of Warhammer 40,000, which would be held on 11 and 12 September 2004 in locations Ciampino. The tournament was the final of the "Great Turnament" a serious matter, not the tournament parrocchietta also participants were about seventy, all from different regions of Italy with beautifully painted armies and also structurally perfect. My house looked beautiful in that army, in comparison with the other seemed painted with Mazzocchi (brush painter, very wide used to paint the walls) it was a little 'disappointed.
Registration had to be at least 20days before the tournament, and involved a cumbersome process of things: first you need to subscribe to worksciop shop, then had to wait for an answer with a coupon by mail, and then had to bring the coupon to the store Workshop was divided into two parts, one was left to the shop and the other delivered the day of the tournament. a quite a few 'tricky I must say) at € 40 of course in many years that I participate in tournaments I've never spent so much, but maybe tournaments Warhammer 40,000 are for rich people.
was so on the day of trial, the first guy I faced an Umbro with a regiment of infantry with Commissioner Imbram Tanith Gaunt and his ghosts, there was a sharp exchange of gunfire, but being my opponent in more than my foot disabled veterans, even the score thumbnail shipped in Valhalla.
It came to a draw with neither winners nor losers.
The second game was against the Space Marines of the kaos controlled by Abaddon the Destroyer, which precisely destroyed, everything My "28th Sinews of Steel", was not even a thumbnail. All sacrificed themselves for the emperor. In the third game again confronted horus.Ma to command the army was Karn, traitor Skalathrax and devourer of worlds. This time the luck I was friend and give myself a chance to start first. Then I shot with everything I had available, concentrating fire on the infantry and light vehicles, I was again lucky with the dice, and so the devourer of worlds that time devour itself.
the first day I could be satisfied. On the second day I tried to stop a horde of tyranny, beautifully painted, which broke all my media armored with only the claws of their ugly hands, sweeping away everything in their path. With what can stop a horde of the genre, perhaps with a hammer? in the other games later I confronted Space Marines Blood Angels of Kaos and losing and winning.
In those six games I really enjoyed imagining all those soldiers who shot at the commander of the Space Marines in motion, despite the gun, howitzer scuotiterra, the commander continues his race (running) shoots, then drops from the midst of my troops, and beat up some thumbnails without suffering any of that all hell broke loose against. But you know the fantasy is so, take it or leave it which has no historical but imaginative. And with this spirit, and a nice portfolio swollen that you have to approach this type of game. At the end the important thing is to have fun. Maybe if everything cost a little 'less may be more affordable, because many players are likeable, and make fun of yourself, for the types of exercises that bring with them to tournaments. One group that has impressed me were "GI FRIENDS OF BOAR" which uses the excuse of the tournament, to find themselves together in some restaurant where the trial takes place, joking, drinking and carousing in good company. At that tournament I had brought Paul (I really have many friends with that name) that soprannominai Now "the Book of warammer" a guy who knows by heart the rules, and it is also very, very honest with me, but especially with the enemy, making us remember the rules of the game. Although some of those rules I do not favored in the course of the game, he reminded me honestly, and I made her apply. Not got one of the first, but it was a wonderful experience that surely will do it again, when my bank account still gave me the chance.
