Input Needed- The Next 40K League


That's right folks, that time of the year has come around once again. It's time for "The League"!


We thought it would be great to have The League feature 1750 point armies, so players can potentially test out new lists for the upcoming "Inquisition Wars" tournament. We also have cool trophies to give away to last season's winners, so we want to get Season 3 scheduled!


So, please scroll down and vote on the poll below. We know that Ramadan and Hari Raya complicates scheduling for many of you, so we thought we'd put the start date to a vote. The League will last 6 weeks, just like last time. We're going to start Season 3 on one of the three dates listed below- we'll leave it to a vote over the next week.


So, get involved and click on your choice!

Hobby Night- Huzzah!

I'm looking forward to seeing as much of our membership as possible tomorrow night- I know everyone's excited about our tournament coming up in November, and I know more than a few of you have mentioned wanting to play on the new "dead" tables in the back. We unveiled them at the Warhammer tournament, and I think they look pretty cool. Azlan is working on a Chaos Altar terrain piece for one of them, and I've got a couple ideas for the other as a finishing touch. Good times!

FYI tomorrow will not be a late night folks. Last game will be at 10 PM, so please plan accordingly. In them meantime, I'll see you tomorrow!

Cheers

Jeff

Singapore Wins Big at Legio Warhammer Tournament

Wow, what a day!

Legio Malaysia's inaugural Warhammer tournament featured 14 players, 9 of which made a hobby pilgrimage from Singapore for the event. Armies clashed, dice were chucked, and the howls of the vanquished echoed through the hall over three rounds of tough competition. When the dust settled and the points were added up, "Team Singapore" acheived a tournament-wide "Massacre" result by taking all of the trophies!

Overall Winner: Justin Phua

Best Sportsman: G1

Best Appearance: Lee Kok Foong

Sincerest congratulations go out to the winners for their well deserved victories, as well as all of the competitors who came out yesterday to play. I think this tournament could be a great catalyst for more "inter-nation" rivalry, as well as a resurgence of interest in Legio Malaysia for the Warhammer hobby.

Call me biased, but don't let the final results fool you. The Malaysian players showed up to play, and from what I saw there were a lot of tight games. I also must mention that Iskazri pulled off another pre-tournament hobby "All Nighter", painting like a maniac to get his army up to snuff. In fact, take a look at the Appearance scores, and you'll see that Iskazri was tied for second! Is, I take my hat off to you! :)

The complete results are posted below- check 'em out!

Personally, I loved seeing all that Warhammer action going down yesterday, and I think this is only the beginning. I spoke with several of the Singapore team members, and we all agreed that some sort of "Singapore/Malaysia Invitational" needs to get organized and run every year. This event would not only feature Warhammer, but also 40K and even Flames of War. What do you guys think? Post and discuss!
