London's Calling 8th-9th November 2014

[lagar312]

Just a heads up that the following 60 player Event run by an ex-Ogger (Sami) is on at the start of Nov this year details are in the Tournament section on TWF and tickets are on sale now.
2500pts in Croydon.
Looks like we already have 5 Oggers interested but given its nice and close it'd be good to get a group of us together for the event. we'll potentially look to run a Waaggh using this comp a couple of weeks prior to get some practice in!

I'm going, with Bretts or Skaven or WoC, or whatever other project I suddenly decide to start   

[Deathwing_Matt]

I've turned to the Dark Side and bought myself a ticket too. Time to dust off those WoC.

Nice to find a tournament so close - have just paid up.

Looks like it might be quite a competitive environment... might take Slannless monster mash and see how fast I can crash and burn

On a serious note nice to see we've got a good group going and have to say I'm looking forward to this!

Alright, having decided I'm actually going to try to win a game or two, here is my first draft practice list:

[spoiler]Slann (Lore of Light)
Becalming Cogitation, Harmonic Convergence, Soul of Stone
Channeling Staff
BSB
420pts

Skink Priest (Lore of Beasts)
Cube of Darkness
Level 2
130pts

Skink Priest (Lore of Beasts)
Dispel Scroll
90pts

Scar-veteran
Great Weapon, Light Armour, Dragonhelm, Dawnstone
Cold One
139pts

Gor-Rok
185pts

30 Saurus Warriors, full command
360pts

10 Skink Skirmishers, jav/shield
70pts

10 Skink Skirmishers, jav/shield

10 Skink Skirmishers, jav/shield

10 Skink Skirmishers, jav/shield

5 Cold One Riders
Spears
Musician, Standard Bearer
190pts

3 Kroxigor
150pts

22 Temple Guard
Full Command
338pts

3 Terradon Riders
105pts

3 Terradon Riders
105pts[/spoiler]

Idea is:

• Hard to break, with 4/5 Blood and Glory points locked up in two Stubborn blocks.
• Central blocks get bubble-buffed via Light, with double Wildform in reserve from the Skinks (who also stop them chasing off after things).
• Dual Terradons are my ace in the hole to win the chaff war - and hopefully deal with the Doomfire Warlocks that I assume will be swarming over the place like rats.

It's rather character-heavy at the moment, and has no Salamanders or Stegs, which makes me sad. Very open to suggestions to improve it - I don't know how many games I'll get in between now and November, but I imagine that however many there are it won't be enough!

The only two things I can't/won't alter are:

• Saurus in core - I don't physically have enough skink models (or movement trays) to fill out the core allowance of a 2500pt army. The only way for me to get around this is to field Skrox.
• If I'm taking a Slann, I'm taking Temple Guard. They're my favourite little guys!

Drop cold one riders and Krox, and replace with sharpened horns steg, they are awful by themselves and totally rely on magic buffs to keep them alive and as soon as you rely on magic in this game , it lets you down...

Dammnit, only just found out about this, I don't know what it is with UK Tournaments but they sell out so fast you can never get a ticket. I'll see if I can get on the paid reserves!
