Earlier this year I was offered an opportunity to go in on a group buy from Battlefield Berlin for some Gamezone Miniatures Imperial Heavy Cavalry, just the thing I needed to finish off the collection of models for my Lustrian army. Today I have dredged up my old army diary for the Lustrian army, dated 09MAR05, and have updated it to the new format for my website. I will endeavour to provide a newer version of the army list in the next week or so that takes into account 7th edition changes to the rules and the other models I have managed to obtain.
I went along to LXG's Summer Legends event on the weekend and have written up my exploits.
I have converted the report for Dogcon 2008 from the files I stuck up on all the forums into text readable here on the webpage :)
I have written up a report about my experiences at Orktoberfest
The rules and entry form for the Doubles GT event have been uploaded. Grab a mate and be a part of another unique Brisbane Tournament.
The Team GT event was run and won on the weekend. 16 teams participated on the day, making it the biggest tournament in brisbane so far for the year. Congratulations to the Crusty Old Bastards (Gav Clarke, Chris Wilcox and Adrian Roberts) for taking out the title - that makes it a three-peat for Gav. Double congratulations to Gav Clarke for also winning Players Choice by just one vote. The full results have also been posted up.
I have written up a report of my experiences at Convic Tournament I attended earlier this month in Melbourne.
Team GT is on again. I have uploaded the new rules pack as well as the entry form for you to peruse.
It's been a long time between drinks as they say :).
The Warhammer Fantasy Tournament Rankings have been taken up by Andrew 'Guns' Galea of Irresistible Force fame taking the Rankings a full circle as I started running them years ago when Andrew didn't have the time. Andrew has changed the formula used to determine the Rankings from how I ran them so it's not easy to compare past and present results.
The 40K Tournament Rankings have been taken over by Mark from Gosford Gamers, he is currently running the rankings in two systems, one as the way I ran it in the past and the second as how Andrew is currently running the IF Rankings.
I will not be continuing the Australasian Tournament Rankings in the year 2007, the desire to compare players across the Australasia region is no longer there. Thanks to all those who participated and passed on results. If a replacement becomes apparent I will provide links to those Rankings. I will maintain the Rankings results pages for the past years on my website for the forseeable future.
Most likely the last update to the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings for the year is the addition of the Outpost tournament.
I'd got a copy of the results from the Outpost 6030 Skulls 40K tournament a little while back and have added them into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings.
The results from the Brisbane GT have been added to the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings and the results from the Brisbane GT, Perth GT and Cryx Cup have been added to the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings.
I dredged up my Dogcon 2006 Tournament Report and have added that to the Hobby section under Tournaments.
The Games Workshop Brisbane Grand Tournament was held on the weekend just gone. I attended the WFB tournament with my Khorne Beasts army, coming a respectable 5th Overall. I have written up a report on how it all went if you are interested in reading it.
Thanks to Greg Johnson I have added the results from the Axeremastered event into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings. For an event that rose out of the ashes of a cancelled event (Axemaster) the Hampton Games Club put on, from the feedback I have received, a well run event. Best of luck with making next years event bigger and better.
The tail end of the year throws up a large number of tournaments. Todaqy I have added in the results from the following events Apocalypse, Orktoberfest, Warpstorm and Adelaide GT into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings. I have also added in the results from the Adelaide GT into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings.
Orktoberfest was run and won on the weekend and has been added to the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings. Thanks to Mick and Trent for running the event - thanks to my opponent for the one game I had as the bye buster. Thanks to the GW City Store for providing the 7th ed Orc & Goblin army to use as the bye buster - it got a number of favourable comments over the weekend.
Congratulations to Lachlan Macwhirter for not only taking out the event but also tying up three invites to the Warhammer Masters for the year. One for being last years Masters winner, the second for coming second at the biggest event of the year Dogcon and the third for winning Orktoberfest. Trent Denison will do everything possible to make your next stay in Brisbane as pleasureable as possible
Well done to Gav Clarke for maintaining his record of second places finishes and to Andrew Galea for coming third. Big kudo's to Dave Lancaster for the Best General award - jeez he's a good player, I'll beat I will be hearing about that for months to come.
Added the Dark Age Sister of Compassion I painted a while back for an online competition into the Gallery. You can check her out here
The New Zealand WFB GT results just arrived in my inbox, so I have added them into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings as well today.
I have updated both the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings and the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings with one event each. Southern Inquisition for 40K and the Northern Knights Spring Cup for WFB.
The 40K results from MOAB have been added into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings. BTW I fixed the problem IE users were having with reading the Rankings points values.
I have just come back from Sydney where I attended the Warhammer Fantasy event at MOAB. Had a cracker of a time, getting sauced, watching the Broncos win the Grand Final in Rugby League and having 8 games of Warhammer all in one long weekend. Good Stuff!!! I have added in the results from the event into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings. I will be adding in the 40K results from the same event soon.
The results from Armageddon held in Lismore last weekend have been added into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings. Congrats to Bill Smart for taking out the event and to Tom and Cam for running it.
I have made a start in changing over the painting tips information from the old website and have added it into the Hobby section. More to come in the near future.
My failed attempt to participate in a painting competition for international Talk like a Pirate day means that the tutorial I was putting together can now be made public. If you wish to take a look at what I have achieved so far, head to the Hobby section and check out the Skin tutorial
I have added in the results from 2 40K events held on the weekend just gone; Fields of Blood (the New Zealand Grand Tournament) and ANUCON into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings. Emerpros Legion also held a 40K event on the weekend. When Bails makes those results public (he's got a fried laptop at the moment) I'll add them in as well.
The results from the 40K event at BIG TSUGUA were passed onto me by the Tournament Organisers and I have added those results into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings. For those that attended that event - I have not made any changes to those results that were handed to me that have been indicated as incorrect in the thread on WAU. That is not my job, it's up to the TO's to deal with those issues, I just use the results I get sent. FWIW it doesn't have any affect on the top 100+ players, but would affect those in the middle of the pack.
I have reformatted the gallery for the Chronopia Dark One Blood Totem which I use as a Beastmen Giant in my Beasts of Chaos army.
The results from the BIG TSGUA event have been added to the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings.
The rules for the Doubles GT for 2006 are up. I will be uploading a pdf entry form shortly.
Battle in the Vines Warhammer Fantasy event was run on the weekend, with the fun loving Matt Cole taking out the title with a Chaos Dwarf army. Congrats to Kendall for having a crack at running an event. The results have been added into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings.
The results from Call to Arms and KF have been added to the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings and the Fantasy results for Call to Arms and Winter Legends have been added to the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings. For what it's worth I have only been able to add the Overall results for KF as the other criteria results have not been public (just a wanky ranked result which doesn't allow for comparison between players achievements at events to be made).
This raises questions as to the validity of the results from that event. Funny how it's only events run by GW in Melbourne never release the full results, yet events run by GW around the country have no problem making results public. What has GW in Melbourne got to hide? Considering the disastorous handling of the KF Warhammer Fantasy event i.e. it was cancelled 6 weeks out due to lack of numbers, yet no public statement has been issued from GW in Melbourne, just a call to those who had already purchased a ticket. GW Australia must look at who is handling the running of their tournaments in Melbourne and ask the question can it be done better? The answer is obvious - Hell yeah it can!
Why would any sane company cancel an event plugging Warhammer on the day the new edition release is due out? It's the perfect marketing opportunity that is going to waste. It makes no sense what so ever. One can only feel sorrow for the Fantasy players in Melbourne who have again been shafted by GW cancelling an event just like the whole country was when the Grand Tournaments were cancelled in 2004.
I played in the Winter Legends event run by the League of Extraordinary Gamers here in Brisbane on the weekend and managed to pull a third with a 2500pt Khorne Beasts Army with a 4 win, 1 loss record.
A quick short update, the results from the Northern Knights Winter Fantasy event have been added to the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings.
The results from the Tasmanian Championships have been added to the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings, with the winner Andrew Goodman jumping up the Rankings.
With some help from the guys on WAU I've pieced together the names for the attendees of Shippycon earlier this year and have added it along with the results from Tempest and the Tasmanian Championships into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings.
The results from three events; Demonicon Winter, Judgement Day and Sydney GT have been added into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings. I am awaiting the results from Armageddon and Leviathon 40K events for them to be added as well.

The Warhammer Fantasy Rankings have been updated for 2005.
The Warhammer 40,000 Rankings for 2003 and 2004 have been updated to the new format. I have also removed some excess code in the pages so the files sizes are smaller and should load up quicker.
The Warhammer 40,000 Rankings for 2005 have been updated to the new format
Ok, the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings for 2006 have been updated to the new format. Keep an eye out over the weekend for the four events I have results for to be added in.
Righto I've tweaked the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings page for 2006 to suit the new format. I will get to the older pages soon, but for the moment you can check out how the results from Armageddon and the Sydney GT have affected your standings.
I've been fiddling around with the layout and CSS in the background of the site and have finally nailed it down to something I'm pretty happy with. As soon as I reinstall Photoshop on my new PC I'll deal with the overly bright and distracting side borders, until then excuse any broken links as I make the effort to adjust all the old pages to the new requirements.
While looking for the Perth GT results I came across the WestGamer website and collected a number of events results for this year so far from events held in Western Australia. I have so far added the Perth GT and Gauntlet results into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings.

A bit of a big update here. The results for Melbourne Conflict, Sydney Conflict and GCon have been added into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings. As with the Melbourne GT event there are only Overall results available for Melbourne Conflict, so if in the future the rest of those results are made public or passed onto me I will update the Rankings to reflect the new data.
Games Workshop have only made the Overall results of the Melbourne GT available. I have added those Overalls to the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings and the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings. If in the future the rest of those results are made public or passed onto me I will update the Rankings to reflect the new data.
I have added the results from Fortunes of War into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings.
Commisars Cup has been run and won in South Australia and the results have been added into the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings.

I have added the results from Conquest and the ANUWTF into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings.

The results from the Brisbane Independant Gamers march events have been passed onto me. I have added the results in for Warhammer Fantasy and will add in the 40K Results shortly.
Bails has posted up the results from Emperors Legion so I have added them into the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings. Next week should see the results from the BIG March event and hopefully the Hammer and Scythe event added as well.

Tweaked the gallery and added in the subsequent pages for some of the models, yet to get to the GW ones.
Feedback on both the WFB and 40K Rankings for 2006 has led to some spelling errors and minor duplications of names being fixed. Thanks to those who provided that feedback, you can now see where you are in the amended Rankings.
OK - Warhammer 40,000 Rankings for 2006 have been uploaded.
I have ported over the all the past Rankings info and have the results from the first couple of events in for the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings for 2006 and will shortly have the Warhammer 40,000 Rankings started for 2006.
Best insert some witty crap about me being a half decent painter.
Cheers,
GT
