Battle in The Vines - A Tournament Prep Guide

This weekend is the annual BiV tournament in the Hunter Valley. Heres a quick checklist

1. The Army
101 Marines - Ready to go, make sure your list is something you can paint in time.

2. The Extras
Measuring Tape, Glue, Templates, Dice, Codex, Rule Book, at least 1 copy of your army list for each opponent, 1 for the organizer, 1 for you and a few spare, Objective markers, damage markers, smoke markers

3. Transport and Accommodation
DO THIS EARLY. Check the Venue work out how your going to get there with plenty of time and if you need to stay find somewhere early as cheap accommodation will fill quickly a lot of the time.

4. Stuff to Sell - Bring and Buy
I am using this as an opportunity to clean out my garage. I have almost $2000 worth of GW merchandise up for sale.

5. Water, Snacks, Beer.
If your getting a lift taking your own snacks will save you a lot of time and money. As I am doing this trip on the cheap myself and a few friends are also taking our own booze instead of buying it up there.

Drink plenty of water you will be doing a lot of talking.
