THE GROTS FINEST HOUR (OR DAY)

Fri Apr 11, 2008, 12:35 PM
  • Mood: Joy
  • Listening to: Univerise At War
  • Reading: Darkblade
  • Watching: Babylon 5
  • Playing: Uni Work Important
  • Eating: The Basic Student Diet
  • Drinking: Squash
I went to ‘Open War IX’ this Saturday which is a massive tournament for experienced gaming clubs to meet up and beat the snot out of each other while keeping it fun, so I went there with the Gobstyks team. I took my Grots as this is what they were made for, a completive tournament.

If anyone would like a short battle report on all 3 rounds I’d be happy to write one IF people will read it?

Nevertheless I laid the Grots out for the Army inspection along with the first half of the Grot’s origin comic and they got the attention I expected they would get. People loved them laughing at the little features like the ‘Ruff Riderz’, ‘The Little Grot’ and ‘GAZA’ most players crowded round my table and I felt so proud even if they weren’t the best painted army they got the attention they deserved.

At the end of the day I was ranked 13th out of 50 experienced 40k players and came 2nd in the order of the my club members in the rankings but not only that but the Grots succeeded in their ultimate goal.

THEY WON BEST ARMY! THE JUDGES SAID THEY LIKED IT PURELY ON THE AMMOUNT OF CHARACTER IT HAD AND WALKING UP TO THE STAGE I COULD HEAR THE POSTIVE COMMENTS AMONGST THE CROWD. SO I WENT HOME WITH A MASSIVE GRIN AND A LARGE CERTIFICATE :D

On a lighter note. The Grot Ninja won the ‘Iron Man Challenge’ at my local GW today he came first in Wood chopping, sprinting and weight lifting, 2nd in the hurdles and 4th in the fencing contest.

So this week has been a great week for all grot kind. Viva La Grot! :headbang:

in response to your question have you thought about taking negative green-stuff "casts" of the parts you already have then making greenstuff versions? costly but i daresay less so that buying the full kits BRING BACK THE MAIL ORDER TROLLS!
