This weekend, the Rose Park Hotel will be filled with the sound of war horns and the clash of steel, the shrieks of the dying and of terror. It will be shaken by the march of infantry, and charge of cavalry, or just from the sheer weight of terrifying creatures beyond description!
This weekend, the first NZ Invitationals Event will be held at the Rose Park Hotel in Auckland, and will host an open 40k tournament, alongside the first ever 9th Age Invitational, a prestigious masters style event. The top 12 players, along with two wild card competitors, from across the year have recieved thier invites and have answered the call.
The guantlets have been thrown down. Who will be the first New Zealand 9th Age Compitor to take home to trophy and her glory. Who will be named, the 2016 New Zealand 9th Age Champion?
If you wish to get amongst this glorious weekend, head onto our Twitch channel:

Panzershrek 2016
This past weekend saw the annual Panzershrek tournament, held in Palmerston North. For the past many years, this long running iconic Flames of War event has also hosted a Fantasy alternative, and this year saw 9th Age taking it's first tournament spot in Palmy. Run by first time TO McCrae L, the tournament sported 10 competitors across the two days, with 5 2hr 45min games of 2500pts of 9th Age goodness.
The final standings are as follows. Unfortunately I do not have a copy of the Battle Points to share:
1. Sam W
2. McCrae L
3. Brian S
4. Tom C
5. Tom D
6. Ethan P
7. Curtis T
8. Adam R
9. Jade C
10. Thomas L
With the final results being:
1st: Sam W
2nd: McCrae L
3rd: Brian S
Best Sport: Curtis T
Best Paint: Ethan P
Although I do not have a copy of the Battle Points, I can tell you there was literally one points difference between each of the top 3 players. It was also the second year in a row that Brian S has podiumed at Panzer, and Sam W has held onto his title of reigning Fantasy champion at this Palmy event, after his victory this year and last.
Another great event, and a huge well done to McCrae for pulling off his first tournament. I expect we shall see many more to come!
The rankings have been since updated to include the results from Panzer.

Upcoming Events: July
Good evening,
Firstly I would like to say how great it has been to see such a great community response to the 9th Age, and to see a rebirth in people's excitement in Fantasy gaming!
Kicking off on 5th July, Napier Executioners Club's Hawkes Bay Regional Championships 2016 is kicking off, and it is starting with The 9th Age. This will be the second year that this PlagueBearers sponsored event has occured, and numbers are already looking good for a small tabletop region. This event is run using a pool system, with heats, semis and finals, and is run over a course of a few weeks, with competitors arranging the games in their time. For more information, you can find the players pack here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2HkCXLSe9TUbC1NeEsyQ0wtNkE/view?pref=2&pli=1
On the 16/17 of July, the Manawatu will be host to Panzershrek, a long time running FoW tournament. However, as most of you know, Fantasy has always had tables at this event, and this year will be no exception! McCrae L will be running a 9th Age event there, 2500pts 5 rounds, and the player pack is looking good! This will be a great way to get some more games under your belt, and to help roll in some more points for the rankings! If you are interested, you can find the player pack here:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1579308579034963/
Again, until next time,
Peace!
