    Posted

    THE RUGBY WORLD CUP!!!!!!!!!

    ok, let’s start with the most asked question. 

    The Rugby world cup WILL be shown at the venue on Saturday morning. If you want to skip game 1 to watch the match you have 2 options. 

    1. Come along on Friday evening and play round 1. Arrive for 7pm and we will do a pre-draw with all players wanting to play early. You will play your round 1 as usual and then continue into round 2 at 1pm on Saturday.  
    2. Skip game 1 all together (scoring zero points) and start from round 2. 

    Either option is fine by us but we do need to know what you will be doing by fill-in gin the form on here -

    Horus Heresy

    If you want to play a honed game of Horus Heresy where each player is pitted against the other on a completely even format and all the variables can be judged then this is not the event for you, war is not fair. Environmental effects, the machinations of the enemy and even the ground you are fighting on can influence the tide of battle. Your job is to fight no matter the odds – the fate of Terra may depend upon it…..

    Adeptus Titanucus

    When Titans clash apocalyptic forces are unleashed. Energies that were not meant to be contained in the weapons of man distort the environment as they are let loose.

    Dragons in the Cities

    in Cities of Sigmar

    Posted

    I've been furiously writing lists and I think i'm going to be using my Black Dragon again, and also have a good excuse to finish painting my 2nd one too.  

    So assuming the list is build around getting the most from the dragon, what is the best combo? 

    The stand out one so far for me is

    Dreadlod on Dragon, Lance and Shield. 

    Allegiance: Phoenicium

    Trait: Seeker of Vengance

    If combo'd right he can get +1/+1 for a friendly unit being destroyed, and +3 attacks on the lance.  With his command ability the whole model is hitting on 2+ wounding on 2+. the lance does rend 2 damage 2, the dragon is serious stuff too.

    Cities of Sigmar Factions subforum added to TGA

    Also perhaps make the CoS subforum visible from the main forum page?

    This is what i'm not sure on.  I don't want 100's and 100's of subforms everywhere, then again, a big lists of Order sub forums will clog up the order discussions thread. 

    Its possible that 'Order' will become a container for Order Discussion forum, Cities Forum, xxx nation forum and so on. 

     

     

    Cities of Sigmar Factions subforum added to TGA

    in Order

    Posted

    Hi Warhammer fans!

    I have just added a new feature to the forums in the form of a faction subform.

    https://www.tga.community/forums/forum/159-cities-of-sigmar/

    We are still unsure as to whether this is best for the Forum or not but we are going to test this out with Cities of Sigmar due to the fact that it is such a big and varied faction
     

    Over the next week or two there will be some moving around and changing of layout as we figure out how best to introduce this or even if it is the way to go so don’t be too concerned if things are changing

    Feel free to leave some feedback in here or in the feedback section if you think the sub factions is a good or bad thing.

    Thanks, 

    Ben.

    AoS 2 - Daughters of Khaine Discussion

    in Daughters of Khaine

    Posted

    I've been asked for my Facehammer GT lists a couple of times so I thought i'd post it in here. 

    I came 4th from 81 players. 

    Daughters of Khaine
    - Temple: Hagg Nar

    Mortal Realm: Aqshy

    Slaughter Queen on Cauldron of Blood (330)
    - General
    - Trait: Devoted Desciples
    - Artefact: Ignax Scales
    - Blessing of Khaine

    Hag Queen (90)
    - Catechism of Murder

    Hag Queen (90)
    - Blood Sigil - Sacrament of Blood
    - Martyr's Sacrifice

    Morathi High Oracle of Khaine (480)
    - Lore of Shadows: Mindrazor

    30 x Sisters of Slaughter (300)
    - Barbed Whips and Blade Bucklers

    30 x Witch Aelves (300)
    - Sacrificial Knives and Blade Bucklers

    10 x Witch Aelves (120)
    - Sacrificial Knives and Blade Bucklers

    5 x Khinerai Lifetakers (80)

    5 x Khinerai Lifetakers (80)

    Cauldron Guard (120)

    Total: 1990 / 2000

     

    This was a 5 round event, scoring was ETC style with 14 points on the battle plan and a further 4 for Hidden Agendas and 2 for Kill Points. 

     

    G1 vs @Chris Tomlin and his Order Draconis. He had 2 drops and made me go first. Loss on the major but managed to get a 5 points from the one.  It was shifting objectives and it shifted against me late in the game when I didn't have the chance of getting to it.  Should have left some lifetakers in the sky!!!

    G2 vs Fyreslayers with all the tricks.  20 Hearthguard block with Armour and -1 to wound buffs.  I won this by concentrating on the battle plane (places of arcane power) and managed to go all in on the black after I was far enough ahead to have secured the major win.  I chose to go first here. 

    G3 vs @Dangermouse425 and his TerraDan list. in Total Commitment 🥳 Dan went all in for the double turn and didn't get it.  It was pretty brutal after that. Dan game me t1

    G4 vs @Adymc and Godseekers Hedonites.  I took a t1 charge into his whole army with Morathi and buffed witches.  Managed to soak up enough damage to let my sisters of slaughter mop up while staying ahead on the battle plan.  I chose to go first in this one. 

    G5 vs @Adam Hall with Godseeker Hedonites, this time the Seeker Cabal list with 6" pile ins.  A much tougher list and it went down to the wire.  It was nearly all over on turn 2 but a damaged Morathi couldn't quite put down the Epitome to shut off the summoning leaving it with 2 wounds and thh chance to summon back around 50 Depravity points worth of units.  Adam game me turn 1.  Morathi transformed, took a bunch of buffs and flew into a Keeper killing it in one go.  

    Highlights were Morathi being a constant baller. In the last game she was 3/4" from the front line but I surrounded her with bodies so the shortest transformation deployment was directly forwards.  That meant when I went first and transformed it put her nearly 10" closer to the enemy and she ended up needing a 7" charge. 

     Also, Witches buffed for defence and taking massive punches every game.  Bucklers, Blessing, Martyrs.  Its a solid combo. Late game Cauldren of Blood, Witchbrew, Rune of Khaine kills pretty much anything.  

    I went first in all 5 games!

    I rolled a 1 on Blessing of Khaine once all tournament, rolled a few 2's too.   Didn't miss Iron Circlet at all.  The additional prayer was excellent.  

    What I did miss was a 2nd spell caster just to add a bit more flexibility in the hero phase. Not sure how I would ever fit it in though.  Morathi was in Shadow Queen aspect all tournament. 

    Over all top 10 .

    Luke Morton    Idoneth Deepkin    1
    Bryan Carmichael    Hedonites of Slaanesh    2
    Dan Bradshaw    Skaventide    3
    Ben Curry    Daughters of Khaine    4
    Laurie H-W    Sylvaneth    5
    Mark Wildman    Blades of Khorne    6
    JP Stevens    Hedonites of Slaanesh    7
    James Tinsdale    Idoneth Deepkin    8
    Tom Mawdsley    Legion of Grief    9
    Ritchie Mcalley    Gloomspite Gitz    10
