[WFB] Congratulations All Around

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (More info?)

It was a great Warhammer Fantasy Battles RTT yesterday at Grailquest
(today is the 40K RTT). I can't remember all the winners, though the
organizer is e-mailing them to me for inclusion in an online report.
I just want to congratulate two guys who really deserve it.

First, the winner of the RTT, Cliff Kump. This guy really knows his
Vamp Counts and stunned people with no Black Knights, no Blood
Dragons, nothing like that. He had mostly skeletons, with some Dire
Wolves, Ghouls, and a Black Coach (I believe also a Spirit Host too),
led by a Necrarch with some Necromancers. Cliff's a nice guy to play,
too. It's hard to beat him while he's raising dozens of skeletons a
turn.

The second man to congratulate is someone you all know, Mr. Steve
Grohowski, and his family as well. They provided an actual war hammer
to give as the top prize for the tournament, and it really made people
play to a higher level. Kudos to Mr. Grohowski and his family for
making this RTT even more memorable!

I've got a picture of Cliff swinging the hammer at a smiling Steve
Sutton, so I'll post that when I scan it.

Sounds like the kind of a convention that was worth the price of admission,
from the last few I went to, that is a very rare thing, and one of the
reasons I stopped going to them.
