Thank Yous

Before we get to the results, this event would not be possible if it were not for the assistance and support of many different people.

  • Bandua Wargaming, whose WTC terrain set the scene for 40K (our review here ).
  • Element Games for providing an absolute bonanza of prizes and vouchers.
  • Artis Opus for their incredibly powerful gregbot powered brushes.
  • Illusionary Terrain, for their absolutely stunning hand crafted Horus Heresy terrain, matching the lovely armies on display.
  • The staff at the De Montfort Student Union for making the event as smooth as possible.
  • Most importantly all of our volunteers and staff who helped setup and pack up –  an under-appreciated but absolutely vital component of any event.
    • Particular thanks to James for running 40K, Zach for running Horus Heresy and Mike for their aid with logistics.
