Briscon: Kings of War 2022 Wrap up

Springfield Gamers was in full force at Briscon: Kings of War 2022 with 7/26 players representing the club with a wide range of armies, experience and results.

Painting

Throughout all the armies on show, the standard was very high, with some outstanding armies being represented from Springfield Gamers and club member Mike Smith walking away with the best painted award - Go Mike!

Painting was judged by a local artists and painters who gave their top 3 armies.

honourable mentions also were made to Adam Storey, Damian Madigan and Grant Spence for their stunning paintwork. Check out the images below:

Armies on Parade

Results

Many hard fought games, including a bunch of first round grudge matches. Each game as 21 points available in the Blackjack system, the second number is the total amount killed by the player - there's some brutal armies out there, but to win, you need to win the scenario first (some say if the enemy has no army, they can't get the scenario, there's truth in that too).
