The dust has settled on the first 2 day event of the Epic year, the BHGS Challenge. 10 players traveled to Oxford in what was a new venture for Epic-UK. While we have been at Britcon for 6 years this was the first time we had attended one of their other 2 big events. Thanks to the BHGS and Tim or the Challenge Committee for welcoming us to their event, we certainly intended to be back next year.

Richard ground all before him under the wheels of his relentless gorgons! Dave T took second place and Tim rounded out the top 3 after his steel legion tooled up to face titans final faced the AMTL.

There were no soft scores at the event but special mention has to go out to Matt L for his wonderful Khorne chaos marines, and Sam for his lovely orks, both armies I hope make it to an event where there are soft scores and trophies.

Next up epic wise is the Wrath of the Tyrant event in Leicester on the 4th of May followed by Games Expo at the NEC, Birmingham on the 31st May.

After that we have the BHGS Roll Call event. The Sunday of this two day event has been set aside as a campaign day, there has been talk of giving The Bridge to Far scenario a run out but if anyone has ideas for a big game they’d like to play get in touch.
