So That Was July
|
|

August is here and July is gone, which generally means a Scrapbook update for July - go check it out!
As well as that, the Blood Bowl league began in earnest last week although only one game was played. I blame the hot weather but I could equally put it down to everybody else playing Warhammer, but still... have a look at the
Summer Blood Bowl 2003 page for a full update!
Catch you next week guys!

A Summer of Blood Bowl!
|
|
|
|
Finally, it's here - the long-awaited Dragon Slayers Blood Bowl league for this year, called
Summer Blood Bowl 2003! The full rules are on the Summer Blood Bowl 2003 Rules page, but if you can't be bothered to have a look you ought to know that it'll be run between August and October, with the play-offs and the final following in November, and you'll see exactly how good our coaches are over the next few months! In other words, not very good... well, it is our first one!
Thanks must of course go to
Pete Delafield for helping to set up and run the league - he will be the Commissioner, so if you have any questions of a technical nature please direct them to him!
Let's hope we all enjoy it boys and if your name's not down, why isn't it? Get playing!

Smythe Smashes 'Em!
|

|
|
Another excellent couple of weekends have just gone by -
Paul Scrivens-Smith won the 40K event at
Tanelorn MDPF with his Necrons and
Martin Bunting grabbed second place in the fantasy event, and whilst none of us won anything at
Toy Soldier II, it was well worth the visit thanks to
Andrew Chesney finishing eighth and
John Dale fifteenth with his new Dark Elves (which may well be featured in the Gallery pretty soon)! All in all, two more cracking events for the Slayers pages!
It's about time we mentioned something about a few upcoming Dragon Slayer events, too: we're planning an internal tournament in Mansfield later on in the year, possibly December, for members and special guests only, which we'll use to playtest a few nice bits and pieces for the
Sheffield Slaughter next year. As well as that, we'll be getting a Blood Bowl league up and running as soon as I can be bothered to get the rules pack ready, which should be for August time - but you never know...
The next one's
Britcon boys - so get your entries in!

Tidying Up
|
|
|
|
A small collection of tidies for you this time: with the
WPS Warmaster GT just gone and two of our members,
Andrew Chesney and
Paul Scrivens-Smith (who won the Players' Choice for his Empire army) attending, their Slayers pages are updated; and thanks to Games Workshop getting their sums wrong I've also had to update the pages of various members who attended the
Conflict: Edinburgh back in April. Those changes actually push
Andrew Chesney into third place, which is a bonus!
Just time to wish good luck to all our members off to
Toy Soldier II this coming weekend -
Andrew Chesney,
John Dale,
Rob Lane and
Adrian McWalter! Sock it to 'em lads!

We did rather well in June!

Past, Present and Future
|
|
|
|
Past: I thought it was about time we paid homage to previous Dragon Slayers - after all, they've contributed to our success too - and to that end I've created a few pages to remember
Dave Batten,
Mick Charlesworth,
Stuart Dyke,
Matt Gedney,
John Hoyland and
Petar Kanuritch. A few have simply disappeared, but equally there's a couple that may well return to us in the years ahead. Who knows?
Present: it's time for a Scrapbook update, and June has provided some excellent subject matter, with two cracking events - the
Weymouth Waaagh! and the
Warhammer Open V - ensuring our efforts in May were duly forgotten. Have a gander!
Future: we have a new member in the shape of
Martin Quinn, a nice bloke from Sheffield, hand-picked by
Nathan Hoole from the ranks of the police. Yes, we have another policeman on our books - but he's nicer than the other ones, so don't worry!
See you next time blokes!

A Winning Weymouth
|
|
|
|
What a fantastic weekend that was! Sun, sea, sand and Warhammer at the
Weymouth Waaagh! as usual, but more success for the Dragon Slayers than you can shake a stick at:
Rob Lane nicked the top spot by one point from evergreen
Martin Bunting,
Dave Grant was fourth,
Matt Otter was eighth and
Michael Biggs twelfth! To cap it all off,
Rob Lane won the Judges' Choice award for the best army!
We even did well in the 40K event - kudos to
Paul Scrivens-Smith, coming in at 7th - apart from
Andrew Chesney, who came in last... commiserations to him, but you can be sure he'll get some practice in for next time!
The
Weymouth Waaagh!: proof that there's life in the old dogs yet!
