[Events UK: Sheffield slaughter]

Hi Pete 

I had a brilliant time at the event and played against 5 great opponents. The atmosphere in the venue was cracking so couldn't ask for more.

 

I really liked the attempt at mixing up the scoring but when it is straight up KP it can give a big advantage to some armies. I know this can be planned in advance but it could limit some factions ability to compete. The difference between armies KP could be interesting, particularly if this then impacted on points awarded for the scenario. Maybe it'd encourage too much defensive play though?

 

In regards to painting there were a lot of good armies around. I was of the opinion that gaming and painting should remain separate before the event but if enough points are awarded for the effort of just basing, washing and highlighting your models it'd give reason to make that extra effort and not exclude anyone. I'm no artist and can find painting hard work at times but I like my opponent to have something cool lined up against them. 

It was cool to see a different approach at Slaughter. Thanks once again for all  your effort.

Cheers fella

I just answered this for you in a DM and now you are asking the exact same question in public.  

If at first you don't succeed. Drum up some public support and all that ?.

I hate Wildwoods though so if their warscroll can't be used I'll take it.

Terry, 

I am answering most of these in the rulepacks when they are updated late this week.

1. The Artefacts are Allegiance abilities.  See the headings at the top of the section areas 'Chaos Allegiance abilities', that then goes on to have sub sections of the various types, command traits, artefacts and so on.  

2. We won't be using the terrain warscroll rules, but if they have a different warscroll then they are a different type of terrain.  So you could bring 5 different 'buildings' assuming that they have different war scrolls (witch fate tor, skullvayne manse, watchtower.....) 

3. which terrain features don't have a type of warscroll? 

I think if you are paying for a formation that's included in the General's Handbook that includes a piece of terrain you should be able to use that terrains rules. 

Are you going to ban the use of Sylvaneth Wildwoods because I think the principle is very similar here. You're paying for something in the GH (Sylvaneth are costed taking Wildwood use into account I believe considering their effectiveness without them) that you can't benefit from in game.
