No Retreat 7 Application Complete!

Hey hey hey,

The No Retreat Tournament, run by the amazing guys over at SN Battle reports, is literally acclaimed worldwide for being an amazing tournament. The demand for places on this 42 person tournament is so high that you have to apply and be selected to compete!

I have long wanted to go to a No Retreat tournament and this year the stars have aligned to give me the time and money to go. However, I still need to be picked! The application process requires you to send some details about your hobby history and what you are up to these days, as well as send in some photos of your army. 

These pics are the ones I sent in and have a unit you haven't seen yet! Fingers crossed the marines are dressed to impress :P

I'm going to be sitting down and answering comments later today as well :) I have been snowed under with PhD work, both writing my thesis and some papers for publication recently that have sadly taken priority! I thank everyone who comments for your invaluable guidance and your patience with me :)

That said, then end is in sight for the PhD and hopefully it will be submitted in the next 2 months and I can show you what I have been working on, somewhat secretively...

Peace out,

Rob

SN Battle Reports - No Retreat 2

Hi gang,

Just a quick post today. I am currently going through my finances to sort some money out, as I have every intention of attending the SN Battle reports - No Retreat 2 tournament in Gibraltar! I have a real drive to attend more tournaments this year. I am currently going to 4 though that includes to 750 point tournies essentially (more on them in a later post), but SN battle reports offers me the opportunity to try a slightly modified ITC format tournament. 

For those that don't know, the ITC format is very heavily used in the large tournament circuit in the USA and allows ranking from points used at compliant tournaments. Its also a much more no holds barred kind of format with 3 different sources/detachments allowed and all kinds of filth. Though it does have some good little comp adjustments and balances eternal war/maelstrom game types really well in its own missions. 

Also if you haven't already go check out SN Battle Reports as they are fantastic old school white dwarf style reports that are brilliant! Check them here.

This is something I've wanted to try for a while, so I will be putting up lists later this month, and this should provide a real drive to do some serious painting indeed!

Peace out,

Rob
