2011 UK Doubles Photos

Simon Montgomery Grant wants YOU to come to the next GT!



Catsrule & Sorandilun


Paul and Jamie (The Newbie)



 Keithio the Green & his girlfriend




Team members of W Szczebrzeszynie Chrzaszcz Brzmi w Czcinie Hobbits (tricky to say, but also tricky to spell, as they made a mistake in the word before Hobbits :P )



Przemek "Hawk" Jastrzab



Referees... clearly on the side of forces of evil.








Round 1:






It took me all night to make this thing stand without breaking and falling apart... it also took James all night to paint the Arnorians above.














Ukrocky & Lotrchampion... not very satisfied how the game is going.




And Ukrocky being annoyed for having to play Lithorlorn (who in the past 3 singles GTs hasn't been outside of top 10!)



Catsrule & Sorandilum checking out our army lists...













Refs team





Hithero surrounded one of the markers in an effort to grab and secure the prize...

But he couldn't do anything about Blackmist rolling a 6 with his Fountain Guard and taking the prize himself...




That Fountain Guard got compelled 4 times in 5 turns from the moment of picking up the prize... truly controlled by the evil spirits.





Hithero working out another tactic which will become futile because of Blackmist's rolls...








Round 3:















Faramir in about 7 turns of combat against infantry: kills 3, burns all Might.
Gimli in about 7 turns of combat against infantry: kills 1, burns all Might, Fate and loses a Wound
Gothmog in the same time fighting cavalry: 8 kills, 1 Might used
Khamul at the same time fighting D7 infantry: 4 kills.







Round 4:


Posing for cinematic purposes...














Spider Queen got into combat with 1 wound remaining. Legolas with 0 Might failed twice to wound her. At the same time 2 Enrage Beasts from Druzhag failed to wound her. The 3rd Enrage beast managed to kill her... but when that happened Contest of Champions score was 11-0... oops :) Of course Druzhag, having attacked a supported elf with a few other goblins lost combat and died, losing our oath of killing D6 models with each hero (Druzhag had to kill 1!... he did kill the Spider Queen though O_o)





Playing a pro photographer with epic lighting on the evening of the first day...



BOISTEROUS MIRTH!

What models do these people represent?











Put a tail on Bill the Pony's cousin









BUILD THE MOST IMPRESSIVE TREE
















The winning "Tree" would get offended if you called it a tree and would find no curse in the tongues of men, elves or dwarves to say its feelings... but it's still a tree according to the refs! ;)







DAY 2










For Frodo! - Mighty Pippin (our Oath is to kill Pippin) slaughters the Spider Queen, who in the previous 2 turns killed  Boromir, Gimli, Legolas and Gandalf...



Where do we go now?


Never before seen in a top 10 GT appearance... the Necromancer used by the 2011 Doubles winners Tom & Harry.







Tell me that wasn't close...
