Northern Invasion 2024

 So, this will be the first in a number of post about this year's Northern Invasion, a little late as the tournament took place at the begining of November! 

This is the second year in a row of attending and alongside my son we also travelled down with one of his friends. This resulted in a number of weeks of rapid preparation for all.of us, from tidying up paintwork, finishing models and magnetising bases for storage. 

There were seven of us that travelled down for the weekend, joining eight from the local clubs and another travelled up from the mainland to join in.

There are a whole range of armies, with 3 guard, all very different, two Tau, Blood Angels, Thousand Sons, Necrons, Genestealer Cults, Imperial Knights, Chaos Knights, Sisters, Tyranids, Drukhari, World Eaters and finally Death Guard. A good full range of armies, with lists that ranged from meta netlists through to fun and interesting lists.

In general this is a fun and enjoyable tournament, but this year there was a bit more of a competitive edge to it, with a number of players using it as a warm up even for one of the bigger Scottish GT's down south.

Even so, it was a good experience for us all, even for the Necrons player, who lost all his games, yet was already planning next year's list before we had got home!

First up, I'll go through the lists, and even though the games are long gone, I'll talk trough the plans and ideas and later, in another post I'll give the thoughts and ideas for next year's list.
