I can see the huge difference it makes to Fyreslayers and I did always feel they were overcosted, however we hadn't actually considered using them for our tournament. I will come back to you tomorrow about that as I want to discuss it with event staff before making a ruling. What do you all think of those point changes anyhow?

I have kinda been reserving judgement until I see how everything else has been affected. Fyreslayers were overcosted however I wouldn't want to be a collector now looking to pay for more models to hit the 2K points mark, as they seem to be quite an expensive range! Tomb kings needed the changes too though im sure many would argue that fact. I am hoping Stonehorn/thundertusk get a points hike, even though I am using them myself I always feel an overwhelming sense of shame when I beat my friends with them haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play tested this last week and it does seem to be a significant boost to the slayers. Mark always beats me anyway so perhaps it wasn't the best example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Weapons Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Obviously I'm biased but the general view of fyreslayers previously was the overcost of them, against anything 'tier 1' as it were they were often wiped out quick and easy. I played sylvaneth before this army and the stacks buffs movement shooting etc etc really did make fyreslayers second class in comparison. I think with movement especially being such a crucial element to AoS and the duardin being so poor at it...4" all round, giving them larger units now with the new points feels about right as far as I'm concerned. I'll tell you for definite how good vs ****** they feel once I've been to SCGT with them this year :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohojoe Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 @carrigher82 Such a double edged sword for you! I have no problem with people using the trial points, My only concern is if another player attends that doesnt have the extra models to fill that out. Then again, I never see Fyreslayers players so its unlikely hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'd say use the new GBH trial points. I would prefer to play against fyreslayers as I've only played them twice whereas I've played against Snakes..i mean TK, a lot.

Jamie Grinstead Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 You have all made some great points about this and we have been discussing it today as well. We have decided NOT to use the playtest points. Whilst we are sure that Games Workshop has done testing on these new points costs before releasing them, we have not been able to test how balanced the new points costs are. Also whilst I feel for the stumpies, we were also worried about people not seeing or checking an updated rules pack (even if sent to those who have tickets directly) and didn't want someone having a bad experience on the day because their army wasn't playable or if their army could have been better. Sorry if this disappoints anyone hoping to bring the Fyreslayers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedge Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Are new SCE book points/scrolls/abilities in play for this event?

Yes, the new Stormcast Eternals book will be used in this tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Weapons Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Are you asking for lists ahead of time or on the day? Thanks for clarifying on the Fyreslayers pts, on the positive side it means I have a little less to panic paint. Looking forward to this event and meeting you all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lists are going to be fine to hand in on the day. In future events, we may ask for them in advance however that will be once we work out how best to stream/record the games.

Its nice to see a range of awards also rather than just winning the tourney. Really knocking it out of the park so far. Also, I dont know what you have for your gaming tables, but if needed we can bring our tables neoprene battlemat if needed or you are short.

Forkhandles89 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Bought my ticket a month ago and only just thought about checking here to see any more information! First tournament ever, excited, nervous and feeling like a lamb to the slaughter! ! I'm bringing chaos, hope to have some awesome battles and meet more friendly banter aos players! Cheers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkhandles89 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Also does anyone know if the warlord trait and hero items must be static for all 3 Games and no interchanging. I presume so to stop over powered lists. Thank you! Any tips from the pro tournament people about the day and general advice would be great. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I wouldn't exactly put myself in the "pro" category but I have been to a few events. Best tips I can think of would be: Be prepared as best as possible with print outs of your list and other stuff you need Label your copies of your books/tape measures/other stuff in case they get mislaid Cheat sheets to remind you to do things specific to your army can be helpful Try to relax and enjoy the games whether you're up or down If something sounds too good to be true ask to see the scrolls - everyone makes mistakes sometimes even with their own rules Try not to waste too much time early on in games so you don't have to rush at the end to try and finish in time - keep an eye on the clock play the scenario! Don't focus exclusively on smashing your opponent (as much as that is fun) that you forget to play the objective... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohojoe Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Really good tips. I would also recommend trying the scenarios from the pack ahead of time. Blood and glory, gift from the heavens and border wars. Get used to how you play them with your army if you haven't already.

Forkhandles89 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I love the 3chosen scenarios but haven't much experience of gift from the heavens. I just want fun Games and meet like-minded people! Is there any idea on how many tickets have been bought!? Stay classy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
