Today Ian passed his Warhammer 40K graduation battle and graduated.
He’s been reading the rules, codexes, painting marines and going to the weekly lessons since his birthday in August and finally he was ready for the battle.
He challenged Elvis (one of the Aberdeen Hobby Center staff) to the battle and we arranged to the battle for after school today.
Ian prepared his 1,000 point battleforce of Red Fist space marines (Chapter Master Omar, two 10 marine tactical squads, a Predator, assault squad, Dreadnaught and a squad of six Terminators), gave the rules one last read and we headed off to the shop.
Ian performed well, but some lucky dice on Elvis’ part led to all of Ian’s battleforce being wiped out, but since neither of them were able to take both objectives it was a draw.
What does graduated mean? Well, it means he gets a certificate and can now attend club nights at the shop to fight battles with other graduates.
Well done Ian!
