All of a sudden I have two events to go to in September! As I cannot be bothered to change my army list I will be taking the same old Necron list I have been using since 6th ed was launched. In fact I had planned a tele-porting themed army for over a year before that!
The Northern warlords GT is seriously hard core. The list of players includes some of the top UK players and I know they will be pitching up with the filthiest lists possible. I hold out little hope for my poor old tin heads! However, in the mid table there are some great chaps who I know will have beautifully painted armies and the right kind of attitude so I should be able to get in some great games. (At least this will help me learn the rules)
The Team Challenge is a different beast altogether. Playing as a member of a team puts more pressure on the individuals not to let the rest of the team down. Again we will be playing for mid table mediocrity and although I am sure we will all play to win we are not taking it too seriously – as you will see from our lists below. In addition I have decided that rather than ‘pair’ our matches strategically I intend to randomly draw opponents which should make some of our more competitive opponents heads’ explode!
Our Team lists are as follows.

I thought only one player per team could take a special character?
Gary, You may only take one HQ special character per team which you will see I have. There can be as many special characters as you like as long as only one is a HQ choice.
Michael
Ah I see. Then the very best of luck to you all and hopefully the Chaos dex will be out soon and I’ll get to see you all again.
Top Necron player at the Northern Warlords GT! Bloody brilliant.
