Rose City Raid 2019: The Results Are In!
This year was another fantastic year of the Rose City Raid. Now in it’s second year, I really felt like it’s began to build its identity. Created to be “Infinity on Hard Mode” I put my players up against a grueling collection of ITS scenarios, and made it worse by ensuring that terrain rules, including Hazardous Terrain, were in full effect!
Best Painted
This year our best painted went to none other but the amazing Isaac (ITS: Xammy). His PanOceania force has been painstakingly labored over, and are truly amazing to see. He has certainly set the bar high for future painters coming to claim the trophy next year.
Best Table
Coming back for a second year, Pete (ITS: YueFei23) has really elevated his Yu Jing table. Not only has he put more effort into the painting, Pete has also added an insane amount of additional detail, stocking all the vendor stands with fresh produce, adding lanterns and other decorations, as well as making some beautiful potted trees.
First Place (OSS)
For the second year in a row we had a Canadian take home the gold! Not only did he score a sweet game mat by Deep Cut Studio, but he also got a one-of-a-kind hand made SymbioMate plushy made by Jon’s sister at Crochet on Tap.
40th Place: The Wooden Spoon
Someone has to come in last place, this year it was Vermgho5t! To (hopefully) help him place higher next year, he is taking home a lovely Military Orders 300 point army box.
Raffle Winners
Every year I reserve the largest prizes and bundles for a raffle! Every participant gets one ticket to put in for the raffle of their choice, meaning you don’t need to place high in the tournament to walk out with some sweet prizes.
Strompost Alpha Raffle
Jeff is taking home a full table of pre-painted terrain by Muse on Minis.
JSA Raffle
Guillaume visiting from New York is taking back a massive JSA Army (nearly every release for JSA). I badly photoshopped in the JSA army box, because a brown cardboard box isn’t sexy.
Airbrush Raffle
Here is Nate, the happy owner of a Badger Krome airbrush, compressor, and all the gubbins needed to get to painting!
