Well done to
Wilf for another cool tournament held in St Albans called
STABB. This is the 5th iteration, and there's even a beer festival thrown in!
I made people uneasy by taking a few photos:
My first round draw vs Val's Skaven. Lost 2-4 as I simply couldn't roll to break armour despite plenty of splats. A failed rerolled handoff in turn 8 meant I went into the 2nd half 1-2 down. Could have been a much different game, but a Skaven Blitz! in the 2nd half sealed it.
A quick photo of the Undead vs Skaven set up.
Game 2 - For the first time in STABB Pete (
DukeTyrion) and I played each other... 1-1 as the goblins did well to recover for a draw proving that the reigning Stunty Cup winners were worthy of their titles!
Yup, that's Pete and a post match photo of the minis in formation. Not actual game footage... :P
Stu (stu2) and his luckless Chaos Dwarves... He made the mistake of using my dice, so lost 1-0. And it was a blizzard ALL game! Finished the 1st day with a 1/1/1 record.
2nd day was a little better...
First up was Lycos (good pose sir!), with his human team. Now this man can roll 1's... something like 7800 to 1 odds. His dice gave me the game, 1-0.
Next was another Undead team coached by YogiBedlamBear... Who you gonna Ghoul?... the most unique team at STABB I think. We lost 0-2 to them. The ghostbusters were the ghouls, stay puffed and the demon hound were the mummies, and the gatekeeper and keymaster were the wights, with 2 ghosts as zombies, and 1 mini as a skeleton, who I kept mistaking for a ghostbuster/ghoul:
We did do a little damage at least... we can't hurt rats, but mummies, sure!
Lastly, I was up against Maverick... and I cooked his Goose with a 2-1 win against his Ogres, snotlings and a duo of star players (star NOS ogre and ag4 goblin).
We finished 11th out of 24, with a score of 42, 7-8 TDs, and 14-8 cas's, with a 3/1/2 record overall. Hopefully next year I won't come down with man-flu as the weekend goes on, and opt out of the meal / Rugby at the beer festival. Shouting at the TV as England losing to the Ozzies in the World Cup!
The full
Undead squad (1 of 5 Undead teams at STABB V!!), as well as a Necromancer coach, a skeleton and a zombie for any unfortunates that want to join the team (he only made it into the reserves box once, but not onto the field!):
