This weekend, April 30- May 1, is Astronomi-con Winnipeg 2011. Hard to believe this tournament series has been running now for a decade! There are several players from out of town (Toronto ON, Windsor ON, etc.) plus a slew of locals.
Here's some of the armies that I was able to see during yesterday's proceedings (Day One of the two-day tournament).
Dave S' Nurgle:
Mario R's Ultramarines ("Best Appearance" winner; check out the NMM on his Techmarine Commander):
Brock J's Chaos Daemons ("Best Army" winner; check out the corrupted Eldar tech used to create daemonic engines of war):
Alex B's Orks (he wasn't able to finish all his new vehicles):
Greg R's Salamanders:
Jim B's Red Scorpions (check out the groin-kicking models):
Chris B's Dark Eldar (mostly painted by his wife!)
Mike D's Sisters of Battle:
Fabio F's Nurgle Chaos ("Best Single Figure" winner - the Daemon Prince):
Dustin F's Grey Knights:
Graeme B's Grey Knights (all Paladins - a 16 model battle force!)
Dave T's Slaanesh Chaos Daemons:
Lance M's Salamanders (love the hat!):
Nick I's Space Marines ("Best Army List" winner; check out a page from his custom codex!):
Chris H's Orks ("Best General" winner):
Kevin N's Imperial Guard (his armoured vehicles are parked below the camo nets:

Great post, Dave! How many points are those armies?
Dallas, 1500 points.
Wow, there was one army there with 16 models...
Grey Knights, man. Each guy is a hero.
I drew him in a close fight in my last game. Ten of those sixteen models were worth about 900 points. His HQ turned those two wound Paladins into scoring units. My Farseer tied up 5 of those guys for several close combat rounds. Hooray for Fortune.
Thanks for posting this, Dave! Some very cool looking forces there.
Greg, I'm thinking you should make-up a fancy display base for your Austrians. (Seeks cover in anticipation of head-explosion...)
Some nice armies. I've been a little behind and out of it for hobbies the last week or two. Issues in the real world...
Good work all who entered a painted army.
Hey Dave, just a correction... The first pic of the Salamanders (2 drop pods /w Ironclad Dreadnaughts) belong to me (Greg), not Lance :P
Impressive. I knew Dave S. when I was in Windsor doing my degree. He deserves the win, he likely earned it. Supprised he took 2 dreadnaughts. Tempts me to stick one in my Astro list for the Toronto one. looks very solid.
