TSC Results are available!
22-7-10
We have now released the results for the TSC tournaments. As in previous years there have been some ommissions from WHFB and WH40K, namely, the sportmanship and composition scores, as these are confidential scores when they are given to the judges. Previously we have also withheld the painting scores too, but this year we have put them back up. Mark did the judging for all armies in the WHFB tournament, and I (Dale) did all the scores (except 5) for the WH40K Tournament.

Check out the results here!
