Thanks for the suggestion. I have booked a small independent hotel in Rowlands Castle, about 3 miles away. I prefer independents to chains if I can.

Hi New to Soulblight, came to it via seeing Neferata model and falling in love, reading some books to reinforce that love, then adding Adehma and the Sisterhood of Szandor blood knights to my love list. Have assembled a themed (and totally illegal) death army around the final battle in the Undying King book, and now looking to start a Soulblight army. I have the LoN battletome but can't find the Soulblight abilities, battle traits etc. Can you tell me where they are please? Thanks in advance.

Money on its way, looking forward to seeing you all on the Saturday. Any suggestions for a good local hotel? Not sure how to send it as a gift, I sent it to friends and family, is that okay?

Hi Guys, Are tickets still available for this event?

Regarding favorite games, probably not the right place, but I find I really enjoy games where fun things happy that can be related to a story, (I'm a more narrative player than competitive, but I do want to win) despite theh score; I can remember many games where funny things happened but can't remember the scores. In my first game on Sunday I played a guy with Archeon, a great unclean one and some other stuff. He got Archeon into combat with some liberators and a Gryph Hound, killed the Libs but ignored the Gryph. After I attacked he asked if I was retreating but I said no, I wanted to pin Archeon because he had said he wanted to kill my Stardrake with him, the stardrake was in combat with others from his army and being worn down. I then attacked with a Castellant that he killed with the slayer sword and described in a very funny way how the sword sucked up his soul, but failed to kill the Gryph. next turn I attacked with a Relictor, who he killed along with the Gryph. By now the Stardrake was down to 2 wounds, he moved his units out of the way, charged and killed the Stardrake, After the game chatting with his mates he told them how Archeon killed the stardrake but I said "hang on he stood on one side of the board fighting a Gryph Hound while your army fought the Stardrake and then ran over and killed him when he had two wounds left!" we spent ten minutes chatting about that and other fun things that had happened, and nobody asked who won or what the score was, they were more interested in the funny things. It doesn't always work with some players because they are there to win, but most people will engage with it and join in.

The guys name was Matt nick name “Salty”. If it was him you did well he only lost one game. I managed to stay away from half his army and had a very close game with him. I’ve been tabled several times and enjoyed them, strange isn’t it?

I played at TofS this weekend how did it go? I bet you did better than me, I came second last 😂 great fun though. First game was Scarbrand, 3x3 flesh hounds, 3 x3 skullcrushers, 2x5 blightkings, and 3 bloodthirsters! Played places of arcane power and could have won if I hadn’t been scared of him and dropped on 2 objectives turn 1 and screened the objectives. He only had one artefact and it was at one end of his deployment so had to come to me so I could kill him . we live and learn as to how to deal with Khorne generally, play the objectives not the army, kill the heroes, stay away and shoot the bejeezers out of them! Same as most armies I think.

In Places of arcane power, objectives can only be held be heroes with an artefact or wizards. With only 1 wizard and him holding your only artefact you will struggle to win. If you take an objective turn 1 your opponent only has to take another objective turn one then any other for 1 turn out of 5. voice of experience, I tried it with an Incantor with my only artefact against nighthaunt with 4 wizards! Killed all his wizards by turn 3 but by then he had 4 points and I had 1.

Hey Jimbo, Can we keep the player list as the final finishing positions? My only chance of a top ten placing!!🤣

Deposit sent for two. Praying to Sigmar (and Khorne, Nurgle, the Changer of ways and The horned rat, best to hedge your bets) that we get tickets.

Thanks for the replies guys. It was only a practice game so no damage done. I will explain that I was wrong next time I see the chap and apologise.

Question raised during a game last night. I used my Heraldor to retreat and run a unit of Consussors so they could charge Reikenor. In the shooting phase I elected to use Storm Blast on him and my opponent asked if they could still shoot as they had run. I said yes and he accepted that, but now I'm starting to doubt myself. The result didn't affect the outcome of the game. Was I right? Can Concussors use Storm Blast after a run move from a Heraldor?

Tickets have been purchased on my behalf (thanks son) already getting excited.

I'm a Pyrestarter, twisted Pyrestarter!! Looks really cool, will certainly pout it in the diary and start working on the wife for time off. Got to go Brownie points to earn!

Great day at WitMR yesterday thanks to everyone who came along , had a good time chatting and playing and learned a lot. Thanks to Hugh and his team for organising a great day. Will definitely be back . 😀

I think you posted this in the wrong discussion. This one is for the January event. Can't wait for this, my first event of the New Year. Any news on the battleplans yet?

Does that mean that it also works for the Lord Relictor's prayer "Translocate" as well? Surely that is the same as the Vexillor's banner as they both use the same words "set it up again anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" etc."

Hi guys, new to all this so still learning. Where can I find the warscroll battalions? I have the battletome and found the battalions at the back, but on the app it seems to have more available for a fee. e.g. Aetherstrike force, Annihilation Brotherhood etc. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

Yep me too! Army selected, units painted, roll on February.

Not sure if this is the place for this question, but I am thinking of buying Firestorm and running a campaign for myself and my son. I mainly play against him or at narrative tournaments at WHW. The plan is for a campaign where my SCE Stormhost, the Gregorians, are trying to recapture the Flamescar Plateau from Khorgus Khull and his Chaos hordes. It will be after Soul Wars so we can use the magic rules to give us both practice for any tournaments we play in, in the future. I have seen some videos where players have played a Firestorm Campaign and they say that after a few games, around 5 or 6, the armies become very unbalanced points wise. In one game I saw, 900 points of Death were pitched against 2000 points of Chaos. Needless to say the game lasted about 40 minutes and was very one sided after the first turn. My question is, is this other peoples experience of Firestorm? Does it depend on the choices you make about your build and muster points etc. or is it just an unfortunate consequence of the game? Also does it work as a two player game or do you need four players/armies? Any help before I buy would be much appreciated.
