I have been remiss in my duty to provide coverage of all the events that provide free tickets to the Throne of Skulls Games Workshop held event. Anyway this week I am going to get caught up and provide a round-up of all the events that happened for the month of June.
Way back at the beginning of June (3rd-6th) we had our first event to kick off the 2011-2012 Tournament Circuit, it was held in Collinsville Illinois across the river from St. Louis. The event ended up with 37 players and from the looks of it went off pretty well; with some minor complaining about soft scores and paint judging.
As for the over all winner and taker of the 1st free Throne of Skulls ticket I bet you would never have guessed it, but
Dark Angels!!
played by Chad Clay won the whole thing.
I don’t have the list right in front of my, but from what I could gathered from pictures and commentary I am pretty sure it looked like this…

just curius but do tournement articals take away from roumer articals or are they just addition. for example if you stopped running tournement articals would their be more rumors articals?
I noticed no Tyranid lists there.
1 Tyranid near the top
I feel a song about missiles, thunder hammers, and 2+/3++ coming on.
I love dark angels, but in memoriam, chapter-wise, they have always been fourth place when it comes to codex love. Nice to see this.
You were close, I actually had 3 speeders with typhoon/MM.
It was a great event, the group I came with will definitely be attending next year.
And Carenza, Ke$has song “blow” or whatever that stupid one about the club blowing up was dubbed the official Cyclone spam theme song.
He has 3 on there, the 3rd’s slipped onto a second page
Well done tho! Very rounded list, id hate to have seen that coming at me!
Oh yeah, Duh
, and thanks the list gets a bit boring to play but is relatively effective against the meta in the areas I play.
