The Jabber Tzeentch Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 We recorded an episode of Bad Dice with Mark and Stave last night! Really excited about the event and seeing what GHB2 beings to the game. [mention=6]Stevewren[/mention] is building some amazing tabes for Warhammer Achievements. If only I could do both :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jabber Tzeentch Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi [mention=2]Ben[/mention] looking forward to seeing the pack for AoS - particularly interested in the soft scores as I paint at a snails pace! What's the ETA on that? CheersThis is from last years:The Minimum Blood and Glory Standard (Or Minimum Basic Gaming Standard, MBGS for short) is the basic level that we require every army at our event to adhere to. This applies to every game system played at the event. - All parts of all models are neatly painted and shaded or highlighted. The bases are painted and textured and all units of more than a single model have appropriately sized painted movement trays - Models that do not meet this standard will be removed from the event and no points will be awarded in the category that was missed. As you can see from the breakdown of scores below, all armies at the event will score 15 points for getting the rst point in each category. The 2nd point in each will be very easy to get with just a little more effort across the whole army. That will get you a score of 20 points and you now have 15 areas to pick up 10 more points. Cohesiveness An army that is not Cohesive will be capped at 15 Painting Points. When looking for an army to be cohesive we want to see that the whole army looks like it is all part of the same army and does not look like it has been borrowed from a few different sources. Scoring Painting will be scored using a clear and easy to understand check list. The following areas will be checked – Painting, Basing, Movement Trays, Conversions, Terrain. In addition there will be a bonus checklist of points that do not fall into these categories. There are a maximum of 36 points available. We are capping painting scores at 30 points. This give players a number of different ways to attain a higher score by working to the areas in which they excel and avoid being penalized for not having skills in other areas. Painting 3 Points for meeting the MBGS See page 2 for details 1 Point for a generally higher than basic standard To award this we would be looking for signs of shading and highlighting above just a single wash or dry brushing 1 Point for an Advanced level of painting To award this we would be looking for multiple painting techniques well executed to a high standard Basing 3 Points for meeting the MBGS See page 2 for details 1 Point for a generally higher than basic standard To award this we would be looking for use of multiple type of textures and painting and highlighting used where required 1 Point for an Advanced level of basing To award this we would be looking for multiple well executed basing techniques Movement Trays 3 Points for meeting the MBGS See page 2 for details 1 point for Trays being painted and textured to match the units bases 1 Point for an extra effort to make the trays seem part of the unit To award this we would be looking for more than just a sanded and flocked tray, extra attention paid to the bases would be continued to the trays Terrain 3 Points for all 4 pieces of terrain being painted to the MBGS See page 2 for details 1 Point if generally higher than basic standard of painting and/or modelling techniques have been used on 1 piece of terrain 1 Point if generally higher than basic standard of painting and/or modelling techniques have been used on all 4 pieces of terrain Conversions 3 Points for the army having a few basic conversions To award this we would be looking for conversions throughout (basic kit bashing, weapon or head swaps, alternate figures for characters) 1 Point for either a high number of basic conversions across the army or a smaller number of higher level conversions To award this we wold be looking for reposed models using green stuff , basic sculpting, in depth kit bashing 1 point for the army having at least 1 Advanced Conversion To award this we would be looking for multiple conversion techniques used in detail on a single figure 1 point for a large number of Advanced Conversions To award this we would be looking for multiple conversion techniques used in detail across the whole army Bonus Points 1 point for bringing a display board To award this we are looking for something that enhances the look of your army, not just to give a point for bringing a tray. It should be painted to the MBGS for bases 1 Point for a generally higher than basic standard of display board To award this we would be looking for use of multiple type of textures and painting and highlighting used where required 1 Point for an advanced level of display board To award this we would be looking for a high level of modelling or panting techniques. 1 Point for some freehand painting in your army To award this we only need to see a single attempt. Have a go, you might surprise yourself! 1 Point for freehand painting throughout your army To award this we are looking for freehand painting used throught the army 1 Point for blending painting in your army To award this we only need to see a single attempt. Have a go, the GW Nagash technique is really easy. 1 Point for an impressive centerpiece to your army 1 point for an impressive overall effect To award this we are looking for an army that Wows the judges 1 point for filling in the Player Painting sheet* players get chance to show the juges their own thoughts on their army 1 point for Round Bases You get this for the whole army being on round/oval bases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 will be done by 7 for sure. Probably more like 6.30 but that might be pushing it to see awards and get to your train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of lists, when do they need to be submitted? cant see a date on the pack (other than I get 10pt if i do it) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCharisma Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 @Ben / Mark : Will the new Season of War Great Cities rules be used at Blood & Glory? I know it's only just dropped. It's be great to get some clarity soon if it'll be banned or approved within the official pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebiggesthat Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 It's confirmed at WHW events. So there's been the discussion. Would be good to know what B&G expects you to do to signify you are using them if so, can I just take it for free or is there a painting restriction. Kind of need to know soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebiggesthat Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 @Ben Sorry to push the issue, there's three of us here at work that need to know if we need to book hotels/buy tickets for the AoS event, if Firestorm being used? Cheers man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers man! Does having an extra ability really make a difference if you will attend the event or not? If you like the army paint it that way, if firestorm is used you get the ability, if not you have a cool army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebiggesthat Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 There is a thread on the main forum for discussion of this topic. I have no wish to turn this into another, the three of us have an opinion. We simply want to know what is planned so we can in turn plan accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stato Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Ben isnt running the AoS event anymore, i guess he is busy managing the event as a whole now its so big with other game systems etc, so you need Mark Wildman (details on the B&G event website). He is on twitter but dont know if he is checking here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
