Last week I came back from vacation and was finally able to make it to league night.

The League is currently 2 Headed Giant. (2 Man teams, of 1000 points a piece)

Capnmoe and I got to team up with two of our friends over at Lonely Havocs, Slender and Jon.

Jon brought Tau and Slender brought IG.

I brought my Iron Hands and Capnmoe felt like getting the new Aquila Strongpoint that he won from the Titan Tournament on the table...
