Blood & Iron Tourney Results

[PG_Hevy Phyzx]

Hi all,
If you haven't been over to the PP forums and seen the battle report over there, then here is our VERY OWN report for the Jackhead Guild (Who were VERY well represented. 40% of those attending were JHG, and the PG was a member too!)

All right....First the Players.

From Left to right in the Picture: Schwencke, Connor, Fox, and Seth followed by Scott Barber (a.k.a. Lord Ranz), Shawn Roberts (the short one), Jason Bardin (a.k.a. Moon Fever), Steve (Desolator) Valiquette, James (Baensidhe) Parks, and Jordan (angel_eater) Varano.

Tournament Results: The players, faction, and other awards they earned in order of their finish.
Steve Valiquette [Desolator #1]{Komitatus} - Tournament Champion [His fourth!] Best Cryx [His fifth]
Dan Schwencke [Orthosofthecold]{Jackhead Guild} - Second Overall, Best Khador [His Third, if I am not mistaken]
Jordan Varano [angel_eater] - Third, Best Cygnar, winner of the "Traveled furthest to be in the Tournament Prize...all the way from Binghamton, NY.
Scott Barber [Lord Ranz]{Komitatus} - Fourth, Second place Cryx. Yeah he exsists. He isn't a figament of anyone's imagination. Oh, and he was using his Denny Assassin 499 list. He lost one match because he tried to Scourge a Devastator that had Superiority on it. Sorry Ranz, I just had to say that!
Seth Bashwinger [No Forum Handle- this means he isn't registered on these forums, that's not his username.]{Jackhead Guild} Fifth, Second Place Khador.
James Parks [Baensidhe] - Sixth, First Place Protectorate of Menoth. He finally won his medal that he has been working so hard for over the past year!
Jason Bardin [Moon Fever] - Seventh, Khador
Brian Fox [Forsaken Poptart]{Jackhead Guild} - Eighth, PoM.
Shawn Roberts [Wolfen41] - Ninth, Merc: Magnus, Best Sportsmanship Award. This youngster (He is twelve) played all his opponents very tough, and took each of them down to the wire. He won one of his matches to secure the "Mercenary's Bag O'Gold" prize since they don't have a faction medal.
Bryan Connor [PB_Zephyr on the Jackhead Guild Forum Site]{Jackhead Guild} Tenth, Cygnar, Best Painted Army award.

Round 1

Parks (PoM) vs. Schwencke (Khador)


Later in that game.


Roberts (Merc) vs. Fox (PoM)


And later in this game.


Bardin (Khador) vs. Valiquette (Cryx)


Later as Cryx makes a run for the Center of the Village.


Conor (Cygnar) vs. Barber (Cryx)


Next round say good by to those Stormblades advancing on the Mausoleum. They all got venomed!


Bashwinger (Khador) vs. Varano (Cygnar)



Round 2

Fox vs. Bardin


The point of this round's scenario was for one player to defend the central terrain and have more army points within 9" of the center of the table (the "Defender's Deployment Zone) than the attacker. Jason Bardin was able to keep a Destroyer going long enough to run it into this zone, and Fox hadn't kept enough units back. Bardin wins because the Destoryer has a greater value than the Kreoss!


Valiquette vs. Conor

Skarre Bomb City!

Parks vs. Varano

Page 5 was invoked near the end of this game. James was down to Feora, her Jacks, the Sunburst, and a few Zealots and the Monolith bearer. Jordan was down to Caine, Eyriss, three Longgunners, and the Lancer. Well, Jordan came out of the Inn with Caine and started blasting away at Feora. She was down to about 5 life when Jordan had to make a decision...use Caine's last two focus to try to kill Feora, or Flash away. He kind of made this statement out loud, and the entire crowd yelled back at him, "PAGE 5!". He let it rip, Caine got her down to 1 life, and then Eyriss Deathbolted her. The rest was a mop up. Great game by both players.

Bashwinger vs. Barber

Ranz was pretty much in controll of this game until he made an agreegious mistake. Rather than Crippling grasp the Devastator he tried to Scourge it...It had Superiority on it. He then was able to "Bulldoze" into Denny, blow up, and then Irusk boldly tried an Air Burst that didn't deviate! Denny Gone and now Seth can mop up the Biles and the Bloat.

Schwencke vs. Roberts

Dan almost blew this one. If Magnus had led with his arm on Irusk later in the game, Irusk would have been knocked down and Magnus could have pounded him. Didn't happen and Schwencke was able to recover and go on to victory!

Round 3

Fox vs. Parks - the Table that had the most minis on it during the entire tournament. A match between two very good Menoth players. It came down to Feora having to wipe out every single one of Kreoss's force in order to win!


Bardin vs. Barber


Schwencke vs. Bashwinger - Fastest game of the day. Dan took three turns to get the treasure back to his deployment zone. The whole time Dan and Seth were calling out each other's moves and actions before the other would take them!


Valiquette vs. Varano - Battle of the undefeated. The winner of this one would go on to play Scwhencke if (and when) he won his match.


Conor vs. Roberts

Man...Round 2 made me sad. First time I ever lost because I didnt hold enough back.

@_@ pwnd.

I think Shawn is to be commended, especially. He played a tough game, and ran an army with a ton of destructive force. He made a great showing for a younger guy, and took the hits like a champ. I hope to see him, and the rest of the guys, in more tournies in the future.

One of the best thing about the tourney was definitely the terrain. It gave the games more flavor (especially the towns!) I also was impressed with the packet of all the terrain rules; it was very nice work.
