Pictured below:  It's round #7 and Harry Dixon has drawn his brother, Joe Dixon.  Harry is 6-0, Joe is 5-1.  Imagine the breakfast table conversation at the motel!  In this game, Joe is up a good few hundred victory points and it is coming down to the wire.  The dragon is in combat with the archers having just nuked a liche... but with a strong magic phase, harry brings in the prince - impact hits up the ASS!!!  Dragon fluffs all rolls for scaly skin, and then fails a break test.  Harry takes game 7.... and later... game 8.  Most amazing tournament moment, glad to share it with you and capture it on camera.

Great write up/talk up. Totally agree with your observations re the Dixons' armies. I was most impressed with the VC and HE armies and told them so when I popped in on Saturday, although I didn't get a good look at the TK army. I think Mikes' Stunties were also cool and original.

Very cool.

35/60 for comp is pretty good for the list u took.

I thought it was a tough list.  A certain judge tells me he scored it a zero, though.  Opinions really seem to vary on the stuff I come up with

your tomb king list is a VERY tough list.
