Taking Care of Unforgiven Business are currently the ones to beat (I guess expect a few anti-cultist lists in round two, Chris) with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss whilst The Serpent and the Monkeigh and Knight Club snap at their heels with two wins apiece with Monkey Serpents currently claiming 2nd place by a single victory point!

The escalation league continues – Ultrabork’an makes its debut game against Taking Care of Unforgiven Business whilst Deff Bots and de Boyz take down Knight Club in a brutal match that only really used 50% of the board.

As we break into week two of the league, six games have been played with nine games left to play before ESCALATION begins.

Results so far can be seen on the full Doubles Escalation League table – Taking Care of Unforgiven Business are hot on the heels of The Serpent and the Mon-keigh with Knight Club and Deff Bots and De Boyz tying for third, but Ultrabork’an and For the Greater Evil still have everything to play for with their remaining games in the round!

++++Transmission begins++++

The long dead former imperial world of Eyebi has remained ignored for centuries, a victim of unknown past wars – yet recent warp storms have cleared a path for a single message to make its way off-world and out into the void.

This transmission was intercepted by multiple factions across the sector, each interpreting the signal in a different way. For some it’s a simple distress beacon. For others, it’s evidence of an ancient weapon of unimaginable power.

In converging upon the planet, unconventional alliances of convenience have been drawn, motivations of each faction a closely guarded secret.

Day one of the 40K escalation league kicked off with no less than four successful games being played.

First blood was drawn by Alex and Ben’s Imperial-Eldar combo defeating the controversial Chaos-Dark Angel pairing of Chris and Max. Battle was later joined by Nathan and Tommy’s Chaos T’au fighting a narrow defeat to David and Nicky’s knights and guard.

A second round of fighting then broke out between the Chaos-Dark Angel team and the Kinght-Guard team with the swarm of Chris’ cultists proving to be too much to handle, breaking the majority of Knight Club’s forces within a single turn.

Olie and Rhys’ knights and orks also took to the field to try and snatch the relic away from Alex and Ben’s Imperium-Eldar, but in their exclaimed words, “we woz robbed!” as the Serpent and the Mon-keigh scurried away with the relic in tow.

As the dust cleared, the current leaders are The Serpent and the Mon-keigh with two wins, closely followed by Taking care of Unforgiven Business and Knight Club with one win and one loss each.

You can see the full league table at any point and it should be mostly up to date at all times.

If you have pictures from your games that you want to show off (you might see things be a bit David-centric otherwise) send them my way!
