Charles Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hi everyone, I have booked into my first ever Warhammer event. I am going to the Wonders of Algoraxi event at Warhammer World on the 17th & 18th of March. It looks to be great fun with a mix of 750, 1000 & 2000 point games all in one weekend. Is anyone else going or have you been to a Warhammer World Narative event before? I would love to hear your stories Ps. There is a typo in the event pack which states within ‘Event Essentials’ that it is on the 10th & 11th of March. This is incorrect I called and confirmed.

Double Misfire Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Ha, I'd love to go to Wonders of the Algoraxi, but am going to the doubles tournament the following weekend instead. A weekend of open play cards sounds insanely fun. I went to the Rise of the Seraphon Doubles campaign weekend at Warhammer World back when AoS first launched (way pre GHB, iirc I think it was 60 models/90 wounds per player) and it was great fun, managed to lose all our games but took home the best army trophy (imo mostly because of my partner's immaculately painted Slaanesh army, credit where it's due). I can't praise Warhammer World's events enough, it's a great location with great scenery, a lovely mix of people with some immaculate armies and feels like a full weekend out if you explore the museum. Highly recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've signed up for this too. My first event and first visit to warhammer world. Really looking forward to it but not sure what to expect. Is it lots of little 1v1 battles with rules they read out or something? Regardless I'm sure it'll be awesome as they must surely put resources and effort into this sort of thing at warhammer world, and its based on firestorm which was super underrated imho.

That’s what it sounds like to me. I think there are three 750 point by games, two 1000 point games, and two 2000 point games in the weekend. All 1 vs. 1, they said they will be based on the open war cards so I suspect it will be the same mission for everyone. Unless it is randomised. It’s my first visit as well, very excited!

Highly recommended! Have a great time at the doubles event. We considered going to that as well but thought his would be less pressure and we have played several small games so are more used to the scale. Just need to get on with some painting so I have enough models ready for a 2000 point game. I’m tempted to try and build and paint Skarbrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I have one unit of Wrathmongers fully painted they are my favourite unit. During the first game I played with them they destroyed a unit of Liberators in turn 1, then a unit of Retributors in turn 2. Then killed 4 out of 5 Judicators before being taken down (Didn’t get he charge so they were less effective) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Afraid not. I struggle to get Saturdays off, and I just did heat one, so that's me for a couple of months. I am going to the season of sowing Sunday only event though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 With the timing of the Malign Portents campaign running over this event I wonder if they will change the setting to fit this event into the global event? I think it it would be really cool to get a chance to play 7 games that can bring glory to Khorne in Shyish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
