Off to war! My 1st Tournament...

This weekend I'm off to war! I’ll be taking my Catachan IG army head to head with other players in a tournament. Despite having been in the hobby for more than 20 years I have never attended a tournament, so I'm very excited about the experience. The tournament I'm going to is the Emperor's Chosen XI, one of the bigger 40k events in Denmark - The ticket was a surprise from my wife!

Last couple of months have been spend on finalising the Catachan XI - But now they're all dressed up for some action :o). The pictures here were taken a couple of days back when I was doing a roll call to make sure that everybody was present and accounted for...
