With the dust barely settled after to 2010 40k tournament, the 2011 40k tournament has already kicked off.  This year the format include 'Special Ops' as a means to make life more difficult for yourself, score more victory points and act as a balance between experienced and less experienced players.

• The Sternguard making short work of a veterans squad only to then end-up staring down the barrel of the Leman Russ Demolisher as it rolled on from reserve
•  One of the Death Company armed with a power fist Dragon Punching the Valkyrie out ...
