The mission was a fun variant on an objectives based theme where there was a convoy of 6 trucks in the center of the table heading from left to right and we had to capture the cargo. He’s a great painter, but I don’t think he plays a lot of 40k to be honest. My first game was against Mitchell Stevens, a local from North Vancouver who frequents GW Metrotown, and his Imperial Fists. Past winners have won because they had it all, and some didn’t even have to win all of their games their soft scores (painting, composition, sportsmanship) were high enough to take them over the top. Just like the Astromini-con I went to earlier this year (where I won Best Overall and thus won free entry into Astronomi-con this weekend) players get judged on their creativity on their Army List, their Painting, their Composition, their Sportsmanship and finally their Generalship. Astronomi-con is a tournament for hobby enthusiasts and the missions are designed to make you think outside the box. What makes Astronomi-con unique is that it’s not an ‘Ard Boyz style tournament where you game your brains off and see who smashes each other more with no rules for composition or sportsmanship. No matter the reason why they came, I’m pretty sure everyone had a great time over the weekend playing out 6 unique and individual games I know I did. but I’m sure all had come out for their chance to win an invitation to the North American Grand Tournament Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada to be held in Summer of 2011. Some players from Calgary, some from Kelowna, some from the U.S.A. A lot of locals this year, I think even the first year the locals outnumbered the out-of-towners. I’m not sure the final total of numbers but I believe it was 38 or 40. The best Warhammer 40,000 tournament in Canada, possibly even North America came and went this past weekend.
