[Narchy]

Gonna defend your title, eh?

 

[TenaciousB]

I'll be there as well!!!! :lol:

 

[Narchy]

We have the Dragonslayers' resident craftsman working on the Ancients Trophy as we speak, hopefully I can post some photos before the convention so you can see what you are battling for.

 

[Narchy]

I see a few familiar names in our pre-reg database.

So who all is coming?

 

[TenaciousB]

Just out of interest, what fleets were people thinking of using?

If there are an odd number of players, my Dilgar fleet will be getting a much-needed outing! :twisted:

 

[Burger]

I'm thinking ISA, for ease of transport
Ryanair have decided to introduce charges for checking a bag into the hold, so we'll be travelling light!

 

[TenaciousB]

only 5 days til QCon!!!!

 

[Burger]

WOOHOO! Looking forward to it!

I'm scrapping the ISA though. Making my debut playing Centauri!!!

 

[TenaciousB]

Just out of interest, what time are u guys arriving on friday?

 

[Burger]

We land at George Best at 9:30am

The winner of this first Q-Con Ancients Tournament will be the first person to get their name on the Dragonslayers brand new trophy.

Our plans are to run a few tournaments each year, mainly because there are loads of ACTA players here but we never get to play in the Q-Con tournament because we are too busy running the thing.

 

[TenaciousB]

Looks pretty sweet!

If you guys are up for it, you could visit the Belfast Wheelat City Hall.

Also, our new shopping centre development, Victoria Square, which has a huge viewing platform and dome.

Or just wait for us in a bar :lol:

 

[Burger]

I look forward to defending my title :lol:

 

[Narchy]

So how did you guys find it?

Well done to Peter Crowley for winning!

The Dragonslayers are currently planning a "Day of War" event for later in the year which will hopefully combine large GW tournaments with some other popular systems including DBM and ACTA. Watch the appropriate space.

 

[Burger]

It was a laugh, but with only 6 players and general lack of enthusiasm, we only played 2 games.
Disappointed I didn't get to blat some Raiders :lol:
