Today was the second and final day at rotomagus tournament. The morning game I had to figth my good friend Quentx. The game objective was to control some loot counters, while defending one in your starting area which is worth 2 points to your opponent and nothing for you. As usual, despite their low speed, dwarves are really tough to fight as they have very good nerve and/or armor. Routing any unit require a huge investment and require you to commit many resources. I started the game by loosing my favorite bait - the assassin. This allowed to get a double charge on Sveri Egilax, the berserker living legend. The game was long and hard, but I managed to win turn 6 despite having lost more points than my opponent. The attrition was in favor of Kentx, and I scored a 14-6. At this point I had to play another dwarf player which was also undefeated until now. We had to play a scenario with 7 obectives, 1 worth 3 points, 2 worth 2 points, and tje remining 4 worth 1 point.

I outplayed my opponent during deployement. This allowed me to take a good advantage. The scenario required to have more unit in the opponent area at tje end of tje game than he has in yours. With only 1 flying monster alive at the end of the game, my opponent had a hard time. The game was so one sided at the start that I

The Rotomagus 2018 tournament take place tomorow at Rouen. While preparing my army I realized I had more task waiting to be completed than expected... 5 hours later I : Got one more vermintide regiment ready to be played Rebased on a square magnetic base the demonspawn I painted a few time ago. Finished my hackpaw regiment with more than 3 colours Due to home network trouble, I wasn't able to print my list to provide a copy to my opponents. I will have to write it by hand in train tomorow.

I glued the rocks on the bases. Next step - today probably - will be to seal them with a last layer of PVA and start the paintjob.

Due to national railway strike in France it was hard to get hobby time. Still I had enough time yesterday to glue the 2 cavalry troop multibase parts. The second one having slightly warped during the printing process, I had to use some greenstuff to get a flat bottom suitable to later glue a magnet sheet under it.
