I have been collecting and gaming since 1998 and like many before me I have set out to collect the entire Ultramarines chapter.

Tournament roundup
So I came a solid second and I am happy with that, although I think the dice gods were against me in my last game as I failed a lot of saves and couldn't kill a riptide in 6 rounds of combat. It was still really enjoyable and three solid and challenging games.
I think I dodged a bullet by not having to face the tournament winner who was running around with 5 flying monstrous creatures. I had a couple of ideas to try and counter the list, but it would likely be too much all at once.
I need to crack on with painting it all now as I would have lost due to the points I dropped being unpainted even if I had won all three games.

Tournament rush again
It has been a while since I have had much hobby time, but tomorrow Hulls Angels are running a small tournament to raise money for a cancer charity. As well as raising money for a good cause it is also going to give me a chance to sharpen my rusty game play before we take on York. I have been tinkering with a list that is hard hitting but not as resilient as I would like. I will post more details of it after I play York Garrison to avoid too much meta game, but for now I will say that this list was originally written to face down 6 Imperial Knights and has already proven very effective against battle suits.
