40K The Hero's Welcome Results and Coverage

A couple of unfortunate, late minute cancellations ate a few warriors from our competitive 40K event's lineup, but the rest brought their A-game and a lot of sick miniatures to boot! The tournament was also a "welcome back" gesture towards the Finnish 40K European Team Championhips squad, who returned from Croatia with new war stories to share. The War Head hobby score system worked well and it's most likely going to be a mainstay element in our casual and competitive events in the future. Hobby on!
