Orkney table top gaming club, Northern Invasion, held a successful weekend featuring the most northerly Warhammer 40K Tournament at the BB Hall, Thoms Street, Kirkwall.

The gamers came from many parts of Orkney, across the Pentland Firth, and from Shetland.

The two day event on 7 and 8 November saw gamers take part in Warhammer 40K battles, and Dungeons & Dragons. The other main event was Magic the Gathering with two Booster drafts – on the Saturday Lorwyn Eclipsed, whilst Sunday’s was Modern Horizons 3.

Smaller games of HeroQuest and Kill Team were played.

40K Tournament Winner: Liam Horrobin – representing Orkney’s very own Imperialis Intoxicatus!
