Although there are prizes for the best game results in each Grand Alliance, you'll need to be a fully rounded player to win overall as there are Tournament points for painting, sporting and admin as well as for gaming. We'll play 5 randomly selected scenarios from the General's Handbook slightly modified to work better at 1000 points.

Lunch is included in the price and is a Sunday Roast Dinner at the Red Lion pub next door with a choice of :Roast Pork & Apple Sauce - selection of vegetables and potatoes Roast Beef & Yorkshire Puddings - selection of vegetables and potatoes Homemade Steak & Potato Pie - vegetables and chips, mash or new potatoes Vegetable Lasagne - with garlic bread and salad Five Bean Chilli - wild rice and pitta You WILL need a painted army on round/oval bases, and 4 pieces of painted Terrain You will also need to submit your list beforehand - deadline is October 15th.

HadrielCaine Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 This sounds like a GREAT excuse to visit my parents on the Saturday and then smash some games out pre clash! I'm putting a team together from Angel Wargamers and Yorick Gaming... how would you feel about YouTube coverage on the day (depending on the others' avails ofc)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more exposure we get, the faster the scene grows. So would love to have you along and doing your 'thing'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrielCaine Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Will see what we can do then awesome. I love AGOM and smaller points games generally so this should be a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadrielCaine Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Just seen in the pack that Compendium warscrolls aren't allowed... why is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Dragon Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 21 hours ago, HadrielCaine said: Just seen in the pack that Compendium warscrolls aren't allowed... why is this? Not exactly sure, just a vague feeling that we should be moving on to the 'new' AoS and letting the legacy stuff naturally atrophy. Plus, several events are putting restrictions on Legacy stuff now. However, I have no strong feeling either way. I'm open to persuasion, so if you have some great reasons for allowing Legacy, then let's hear them and I may well allow them. To be fair, at the last event I ran, they weren't allowed but Steve Wren turned up with a legacy army anyway (helps if you read the Pack before you get to the event) and we were fine for him to play. Mind you it was Steve Wren........ If we are to allow Legacy stuff, would you want ALL Legacy allowed (Including Hellcannons etc) or are you just angling after Tomb Kings and Bretonnians being allowed?

Nico Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Tomb Kings are integral to Death - half the scrolls; all the shooting over -2 inches; all the artillery; almost all the infiltrators. Chaos are quite reliant on some legacy heroes to be competitive (and to not be Khorne). Dropping legacy is just a fat buff to Destruction who really don't need a helping hand now.

Nico Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Never thought the phrase "AoS needs a shot cap" would come out of my mouth - but the Bonesplitterz fail may require it. They can go fight Tau and Space Marines for a balanced game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an AoS specific Wood Elf Wanderers force that I did before the Order battle tome came out. So the 'legacy' stuff is my whole army. I don't think GWs intention is to let stuff Atrophy. In fact I think the whole point of AoS and the compendium was to allow people to continue to use their collections without forking out hundreds of pounds on new factions. And I think that's the potential success of AoS in the long term- allowing anyone to use any models- why else would they have provided points costings for Brets, TK and the older WE warscrolls? Just my two cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Dragon Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 OK, so I have changed the Event Pack, and now Compendium Scrolls will be allowed from Bretonnians, Tomb Kings and Wood Elves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beasts of Nurgle Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hey guys, hopefully going to register for this soon! What's your stance on the State Troop Detachment + using freeguild units to fill it? See this thread for details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your stance on the State Troop Detachment + using freeguild units to fill it? See this thread for details Hmmm. Interesting one this. It took me a while to get my head around the problem, but I see it clearly now. I can fully see and appreciate both points of view. My feeling is that, because the stats are identical (as far as I can see) between the relevant 'Empire' and 'Freeguild' units I will allow it. I know some people have problems with this battalion, but I am going to allow the use of the 'State Troop Detachment' using the Freeguild units. If it turns out that this combo is totally OP and broken, well so be it. I'd love to see it at work anyway. I find that only when people have played the list a few times do you get to really find out if it works. Mathshammer/theoryhammer often breaks down in actual play, and there's always a counter to any army. So bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tomlin Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 @Soup Dragon Great format Paul, really like this. Not feasible travel wise for myself, but I may have to pinch the idea for a version down south! Good luck with the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstranger Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hello guys! Is there anyone going to the tournament from Sheffield or nearby and would be happy to give me a lift? I will share petrol cost of course, it's just impossible to there on Sunday morning by public transport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Dragon Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Wow! Just had a huge run on tickets and we are now sold out. I've even opened up a couple of extra places and they were taken straight away.If anyone still really wants to come but didn't get a ticket, then leave a message here and I'll add you to a very short reserves list in case of drop outs If anyone can give Powerstranger (Bart) a lift from Sheffield (the post above this) he would be very grateful and it would save him a hotel fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Johnson Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi Paul, It was mentioned on Twitter that we could bring some Realm of Battle boards with us, how many should we bring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Dragon Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Ben, give me a few days, I'm seeing if venue and pub can cope with a few more players, I'll get back to you later in the week with numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
