    If the winning army did indeed have 3 glade guard as waywatchers and 3 glade guard as waywatcher heroes and the only distinguishing feature was the paint jobs then i think that's taking the ****** and i'd feel very disrespected as an opponent or TO. If you're going to play the filth the you should at least buy the models. 

     

    As it has been brought up I will elaborate:

    Coming from the 40k scene we have conversion ideas to save us money which has been acceptable. 

    Now for me it was a case of; do I spend 3 times the amount of money on effectively 6 models, which look almost the same anyways, or is there a cheaper alternative? 

    I went with the cheaper alternative as I simply cannot afford to spend vast amount of money on the hobby. 

    I converted the glade guard using different heads, bases and colour scheme to depict waywatcher lords and the waywatchers themselves. Not 1 of my opponents had an issue and nothing was said by the TOs. Im very surprised it is even being mentioned as I have not taken the Mickey by using (as stated in the wysywig rules pack) a sword and shield guardsman for a bowman. That to me is proxy.

    I have made a conversation using GW models which has cut the costs down which I see no issue in? If this is the case and people were offended then I apologise but I cannot afford to spend more money. Currently in the process of saving for a house and paying for 3 holidays comes first. 

    If I did offend anyone I genuinely do apologise and will happily change my models in the future if neccesary. I had some positive feedback and actually a few people commended my paint scheme. 

    Hopefully as a scene we can all move forward and respect that not everyone is a godlike painter and converter. For me I feel accomplishment to paint an army let alone paint it amazing haha. I do think there are some great painters in the scene..More so than 40k so it's great to see and something to aspire to but I'm a terrible artist. If someone asks me to draw something...Expect a stickman!

    Just my 2 pence

    5 top games against 5 tough but great opponents.

    Thanks to Pete and Adi for a smooth and well run event, bar the slightly confusing rules pack at the beginning. Couldn't think of a better first AOS tourney to attend. 

    Will certainly try my best to attend next year's and would recommend it to anyone.

    What we are hoping for is that people will move away from the boring warrior brotherhood and bring something different to the event.  We couldn't just say to people your army is no longer valid thereby enforcing them to buy the new book etc.  

     

    Agreed, I think its becoming rather boring seeing the same cookie cutter warrior brotherhood! Fair enough, just wanted to know. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Now the new books all over the internet, a few things to note:

    The team have removed (for the better) some formations (warrior brotherhood, skyborne slayers etc) and changed the points cost of some unit. As this is a new book which is being allowed, will Sheffield slaughter be enforcing this? I ask as it seems redundant to allow different points costs and no longer available formations? The rules for the Knight Azyros for example have changed completely, as has his points cost. I appreciate some peoples armies may change but as you have stated the new book will be in use I would like to know whether this will be the case or not? 

     

    Thanks.

    Had a cracking day, 

    good points:

    venue was great

    atmosphere was good

    timings we're okay 

     

    constructive points:

    timings could have been enforced a little better - just because a game calls a judge over and asks for a rules clarification which takes some time - doesn't mean they should get that time back at the end of the game - everyone else's is waiting.

    two lists - not sure it was worth it really, one army list was gone - perhaps just use a side board, but even then I'm not sure

    roll the missions each round - then people have to bring a more balanced list for sure.

     

    bad points:

    I "cheated" badly - having always played my general as a hero model I wouldn't the. Automatically give them an artefact - as the ruling was that any single model could be your general i choice my bastilladon and then gave him the Phoenix stone without thinking about it.  Realised on the way way home!!!  This likely won me the last game.  Sorry Kevin my bad

     

    thanks for a great day, look forward to the next one.
