Sorry about that. My wife has mental health concerns and was looking after our autistic teenager so I needed to go out and talk to her a fair bit. Ah, no, I was more referring to how I had to get a train out of Worcester before the event was even properly over! Family comes first, of course. An O&a...

Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed the thread! I do hope to bring it back as soon as possible. I'm not sure when I'll play the next games, but it would be a wide range of historicals, from World War II to Napoleonics to Ancients! It was great to meet you CR. It was great to meet you as well! It's a ...

Unfortunately I must also now announce the end of my sojourn to the United Kingdom. Due to my current employment status I will be moving back to the Untied States to live with family while I search for a job. I'm moving to a location that has a very very small wargaminng community, and to my knowled...

Sheffield Game 3 Last one of Sheffield! I was mid-tier now and up against Warriors of Chaos. Warriors of Chaos: Kholek Suneater Throgg the Troll King 4x Dragon Ogres w/ Great Weapons Chimera w/ Flaming Breath, Regeneration Dragon Ogre Shaggoth w/ Great Weapon 14x Forsaken of Khorne 11x Chaos Trolls...

Sheffield Game 2 I was now bumped down to next to last table with only 5 points scored. My new opponent had a Greenskin army, and was still very new to the game so was pretty rough on the rules. Unfortunately, this game I was severely lacking in picture taking, so I only have photos from the ends o...

Sheffield Game 1 And here we are! Finally getting Sheffield written up. I hope I don't forget or leave out too much stuff since it has been a while, but I still remember most of what happened in the games. The first match-ups were random as it turns out there was no comp at this event. I got that w...

Sorry for the delay in replying CR, been very busy! Looking forward to hearing more about the tournament. I quite like your list for the latest Lizardman game. Four flying Monsters is no joke at all, though it does compromise your magic phase somewhat. Dropping the larger Dragon Prince unit seemed ...

It's working well, though! I'm unfamiliar with that Teclis model, is it an older one?

Game 21: High Elves vs Lizardmen Sheffield is over and done with, but before I get to that, I've got a game to write up against a Lizardmen army! I decided to try something I've never really done before and go with a full Fliegerkorps list. Unfortunately, as the day wore on the sun came in at a bad...

Man, it's been a while. Still, I'm back to reply! You definitely have a shot against this list. Especially if he's a bit unlucky with his deployment. Keep in mind that VC magic can keep raising the skeletons back up (and above their starting size in some cases). You could end up getting stuck in uni...

Right, so my first opponent will be bringing the following list: Mannfred von Carstein on Barded Nightmare Necromancer Level 1 Necromancer Level 1 30x Crypt Ghouls w/ Champion 5x Dire Wolves 5x Dire Wolves 40x Skeletons FC w/ Spears 10x Black Knights FC 6x Crypt Horrors w/ Champion 6x Vargheists w/ ...

I've signed up for the Sheffield Tournament and first matchups have just gone out. I'm taking a slightly modified version of my Worcester list, dropping the Archers and replacing them with Spearmen. This is because the Archers have been disappointments in most of my games and the Spearmen will give ...

I felt the deployment gave a chance for the Boar Boyz to make a wide circuit of the building and attack the Archers but maybe the small walls restricted that? I don’t see why the flank with the Night Goblins would want to attack. In contrast the HE line just ground forwards and chewed up whatever i...

I do like that model, it's one that I need to find someday. You've done a great job with it!

I believe late is the best way to describe this, but there's an event next weekend in Sheffield, Kings of the Old World. 2500 points, one day, 3 games.

Not sure how to post the event pack as it's a PDF uploaded to Facebook.

Thank you! Yeah, I have been pretty lucky in finding places with good tables and terrain to play games.

Game 20: High Elves vs Lizardmen Finally getting to this. This will be another picture-heavy battle report like my earlier ones, I finally got back together with an opponent I haven't faced in a while, and he brought his newly finished Lizardmen army. I decided to build an army featuring as many mo...

That’s an army with a lot of work on it CR! I also like your army pic at the start. I guess Kazador just isn’t as hard as a Dwarf Lord can be built but it’s an interesting list. Tournament convention here is that all units are shown to your opponent at the start, even if they’re hidden or begin off...

Battlescribe has several errors in the points costs of Magic Items. It also erroneously lists the War Banner as 25 points instead of the correct 35. There have been no adjustments to points costs in 8th edition, the BRB and army books are correct.

Overall I think I like the new list. I'm not the biggest fan of the BSB on a Griffon, though. Griffons are notoriously easy to kill. You do have a Frostheart to draw fire which is good, but the Griffon could go down pretty quickly, and that's your BSB lost. The Griffon will also probably want to be ...

Game 19: High Elves vs Orcs and Goblins Fourth battle report in four days! I switched my list up a good amount for this game, while my opponent just made some tweaks. We also rolled a scenario and ended up with Dawn Attack. High Elves: Eltharion the Grim, Warden of Tor Yvresse Archmage Level 4 w/ D...

Game 18: High Elves vs Orcs and Goblins Finally I got to play some games without any time constraints! Therefore these battles will be returning to form with my long and detailed reports. Also, despite the thread title, I did not have a Star Dragon in this game or the next! I wanted to try somethin...

Game 17: High Elves vs Dwarves This game would be a lot harder. I will say at the outset that due to time we did not finish the game, unfortunately. It was a good time, regardless! I brought my Worcester list again. High Elves: Prince mounted on Star Dragon w/ The Other Trickster's Shard, Star Lanc...

Looks like a fun game! It's a shame about the Greatswords, I would have thought they'd hold on a bit longer than that. It looks like the Empire Halberdiers pursued after those Turn 3 charges, I think that might have been the turning point as that put the Beastmen on their flank. I also wonder if the...

Game 16: High Elves vs Dwarves Finally getting the first of these games written up! I was playing against a spectacularly painted Dwarf army this time around. It was only my second game ever against Dwarves, so I was a bit nervous going in. We played two games in a short time frame so again these a...

The list seems solid overall, it is perfectly fine for most games. If you're aiming to make it a bit more competitive I've got a few possible suggestions. I'm not completely convinced by the Level 1 Beasts Mage, the Level 4 can handle most magic and you will likely be needing most of your dice to be...

Liam said that the Crypt Horrors charged the Trolls to avoid combat with the Beasts CR. As you know, Poison tends to blow hot and cold, sometimes it’s lethal. I still had good chances to make that that re-rollable Ld 7 but a Ld 10 General would have made all the difference here and not for the firs...

I have to say, I'm surprised the Crypt Horrors charged the Trolls. Both units hit the same and wound the same, but the Trolls have a better save and outnumber the Crypt Horrors. I'd say this was a mistake on the part of the Vampire player, especially since that put the Crypt Horrors so far away from...

Good point. You would of course need to force the issue, also to make sure the savage orcs don't have enough time to get in on the action on their terms. Perhaps the best option then was to point the Silver Helms towards the Trolls to threaten a charge with most of your army the next turn. But to a...

A bit surprised to see an unridden Wyvern, not normally an option. I really like the High Elf spells here. The Wyvern was from I think Storm of Magic, allowed under the Triple Crown pack. I think Fiery Convocation could have been very helpful, but I was only in range of the Savage Orcs one turn and...
