Throne of Skulls - Chris - Day 1

Sorry about the gap but real life has an annoying and tedious tendency to interrupt my blogging time, lol.

Editors Note : If any of the owners of the opposing armies in these various articles would like to drop me an e-mail with some of their own opinions on the respective matches then I'd be happy to insert their comments into the appropriate reports if they so desire.

Next up is Chris's Blood Angels army. You might remember Chris's beautifully painted Space Wolves army from early this year. This years army was also extremely well done but sadly missed out on a best painted nomination but he's not the only person unhappy about the nominations anyway, lol.

Chris has his own blog but it's not exactly regularly updated, but I said I'd mention it so I have done ;-)

Significant Events.
'Jammy' taking objectives (I'm not sure whether Chris is referring to himself or his opponent but given the average Eldar players tendency to 'steal' objectives at the last minute with fast moving vehicles you'd have to leap to certain conclusions....)

We'll finish off Chris's games tomorrow after which we'll be moving onto those of Mike.
