If you're looking for Age of Sigmar, Shadespire,  40K, Bloodbowl, Necromunda or other games in London, then head down to the South London Legion any Wednesday afternoon.

This week we're all very excited for Blood Tithe - @Marc Wilson 's International  AoS Team Event - twenty teams in total invading Crawley (near Gatwick) from far and wide. The Legion has been helping with the organisation of this event; and three teams of four are going to the event from the Legion (Da Kunniest Rukk, South London Leftovers and Only the Filthful (my team), together with Max who has joined @Soup Dragon and his Cursed With Years team.

AoS

Blood Tithe was a big hit. Feedback was awesome. Kudos to Marc Wilson for his efforts and I’m pleased that the Legion were able to support him. The Legion’s teams fared well - Kunniest Rukk in 4th after a great display of sportsmanship in requesting a recount that pulled them out of the silverware. Only The Filthful fought valiantly but the draw and real life issues 

There will be the usual mixture of 2,000 point games going on. If you have a smaller force, then someone should be happy to give you an introductory or demo game as well.

A lot of excitement over Nurgle and then Death and then boom Morathi! Plenty of new armies are being built/planned. I’ve got plenty of models for all three armies - boom!

Last Wednesday Arthur’s Sacrament took on Max’s Nurgle in a close game.

Prior to that Simon and John's Winter Waaagh was a real success as a one day event - lots of fun had by all.

After Blood Tithe we're thinking about some Malign Portents - perhaps a combination of Skirmish games (using the new supplemental rules in that book) and narrative Battleplans. Then Heat 2 will be upon us.

We're also in the early stages of planning #BigBash which will be an all day narrative megabattle between several of our armies - Archaon and 4 Exalted Greater Daemons vs Nagash, Mortarchs and 6 Flappies - what's not to love?

Runedaddy has a go at Derpghar. I finally found uses for that oversized axe and Kairic Acolytes.
 
Bloodbowl

The League is reaching a climax with the next two games decisive for the coveted trophy. Simon and I are playing with one eye towards London GT’s Bloodbowl Event. I'm taking on Rob's Skitz Skatz next week!
 
Bloodbowl is such an amazing game!
 
New players are also welcome!
 
Shadespire
The Shadespire event on the Friday at Blood Tithe was great and I did score a win against a leading French player. The competition was formidable however and I wound up last with my Blood Reavers.
 
The only way is up for me with my 17 games 14 Losses record. I’m loving the Fyreslayers compared to the Blood Reavers - much more my style.
 
Should be a perfect second game to fit around a main game in an evening. Or you can just play 4 games back to back :D.
 
40K
Simon Weakley ate some faces with 6 Flyrants recently! 
 
Lots of excitement from Sami, John and others for the Blood Angels - a couple of Blood Angels-offs in recent weeks.
 
The Cerastus Knight Atropos is built and my Raptors/Ad Mech list is ready for Battle!
 
Sami is doing well with the Necrons and pumped for the new Battletome! Ben Raven, Nathan and Simon Weakley seem very excitable about Tyranids! Simon Froley is keen for Tau! 
 
It has slowly dawned on me that I already own a significant amount of models for a Daemons list or Thousand sons (might finally use 30 Tzaangor and 9 Enlightened!). Shame the Exalted Greater Daemons in 40K got nerfed into oblivion, but hopefully can use them as regular versions. I've now accumulated a load of models for a Thousand Sons/Emperor's Children force.
 
Craig is leading the way with his Ad Mech - awesome painting!
 
I’m just going to leave this here:

One of the cohort of Bens owns this chap.
 
Necromunda
Simon Froley is leading the charge with James hot on his heels. Very exciting game. Will be going strong this year and the level of support from GW (e.g. Squat Mercenary and Genestealer Cults in White Dwarf). Orlocks look epic.
 
I've salvaged some metal Van Saar and other dudes and written a draft gang.  Practice games starting tomo. Kicking off campaign in about 4 weeks

Give me a shout on the forum or post below and I can add you to our AoS WhatsApp chatroom (we broke 100,000 messages recently and counting - I swear fully half of it is John talking about Khorgoraths).

The Hobbit

Simon had a great time at Warhammer World for a Hobbit Event! Smaug was involved. Group of players is forming.
