Agram Arena 2008 [movie report]

[scytale]

Here's a vid of me and my mates from this weekend. I placed 3rd with my Iron Warriors, because my bugs still aren't painted enough to be legal. I'll post some more picts later. Enjoy

Any comments? =/

Hey, some of my friends went on Agram! Heard that it kinda sucked.

[Facade [TVTP]]

ouch.

[ZergLord]

One more thing, why aren't the battles recorded in the report?

[scytale]

Because it's a fun video and not a battle report as such. We all wrote battle reports on our gaming forum ''Star Forge'', but sadly we've all done it in our mother tongue, Slovenian, so most people wouldn't understand it. You, ZergLord with a bit of effort maybe would.

I suppose your friends would include Predrag Vasiljević, Petar Jovanović, and the rest? From what I've seen, they've had a pretty good time and since they don't have bad sportsmanship marks, their opponents enjoyed it too. Btw, here's the list:


(mate of mine underlined us red, don't let that bother you)


Also, Helldudes insist that Agram Arena is awesome (we were there for...I think the 6th time now..) and that everyone does a great job to make it like it is. When we talked to Predrag about 40k tournaments in Serbia, he just lifted his shoulders saying all your tournaments are internal. So if you think you can do a better one, we'd be more then happy to show up. ^^

(before you say it, some of our guys are working pretty hard for an international tournament as we speak, so it's not the ''pot, meet kettle'' thing from my side.)

Sweet water and light laughter, S

Yup.

They said they DID have fun, but the tournament itself wasn't anything special. The organization wasn't really good, the tables lacked terrain (so you could be owned by a shooty army), scoring for painting was unfair: if I understood correctly, Petar who had fully painted Necron army (and had prepared some fluff) got far less points than Predrag whos Blood Angels had only 3 colors.
There were players who don't know the meaning of WYSIWYG at all. The guy who won 1st place with his "Blood Angels" Land Speeder army had 2 Blue Land Speeders, 2 Red Land Speeders, 1 undercoted Speeder or something like that. *mega facepalm*

Yeah, judging of painting was (please do not swear), I'll give you that. I played the necron dude and we whined about the unfair standards together.As for Domagoj (Mitrović, the guy who won 1.st overall and best general), his painting standards were poor, his speeders from several armies but his painting score reflects that. He got 9 out of 25. Then again, necron dude and I got 10 and Predrag got...17 I think? How is a mistery to me and I pointed that out on the spot.

The organisation was good from all I've seen, cheap hostel, cheap food and free drinks. The tournament ran smoothly, no delays, nice prizes,.....I could go on some more but you see where I'm going.
