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!

[Steve H]

I'm already signed up and paid... I hate warhammer but it's close!!! :)

[lagar312]

Borrowing my Beastmen then Steve

[TkaiC]

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.

[Pip]

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

I'm going to go with very fast 

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

[Pip]

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
70pts

10 Skink Skirmishers, jav/shield
70pts

10 Skink Skirmishers, jav/shield
70pts

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!

[fatolaf]

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...

[Berimbolo]

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!

[FrankHunter]

I'm in for the Tournament too.
And yes, they sell out really fast, totally agree. I'm in 9th spot of reserves right now, but there are always a lot of drop outs, so it should be ok.

[lagar312]

Morning gents... just a reminder that today is deadline for list submissions so get them in!

[Jal]

Cheers for attending all - was good to catch up with all of you.

Hopefully you all enjoyed yourselves - let me know of things that can be done to imprvoce - first time I've TO'd so any contructive criticism is useful

Cheers,
Amit

[Jal]

Just FYI - I'm running another at the end of April, but comped.

Spoken to Sam, but it'll be 25-26 Apr.

Was going to reserve some OG slots as tickets will sell out - please let me know how many

[katarr]

I will be in. Please post here if you think you will be interested in going.

[TkaiC]

In with Bretts.

Oh, this is going to be bad.

[Steve H]

If there's a decent amount if comp I can probably make this one... Probably a bit of a last hurrah for me do it would be nice to go to a tourney.

Amit, do you know roughly when the pack might be available?

[Pip]

With any luck I'd just have done my viva, so I could feasibly make this. I'd be very interested, although like Steve I'd like to see the comp pack... the completely uncomped environment last time did detract from my enjoyment a bit.

[Steve H]

Cheers Amit... You're a star!

[roland murat]

Sadly it clashes with Salute so I won't be able to go

[Steve H]

No special characters means I can't take the comedy Queek Bus :(

Sad times...

[katarr]

I like the look of that pack!

[Jal]

Steve, I think I might allow Skaven Special Characters

None of them massively change the game and many are overpriced.

Come to think of it will probably allow:

Bret Scs
Orc and Goblin Scs
Dwarf Scc
Skaven Scs
Wood Elf Scs

on top.

The best of all of those are the twilight sisters (OK at best) and Wurrzag (Decent if used right) and none are gamebreaking like Epi/Kairos/Teclis/Morathi/Tetto etc

[Steve H]

Thanks bro!!! You're a star!!!

Might Snitch too/instead!

[Pip]

Comp pack looks good to me, although it does seem like the WoC power build gets off rather lightly (loses Soul Feeder, Third Eye and has to take some actual Core units but that's about it). Still, count me in.

Max six skinks + sallies does make me sad I can't run Gor-Rok's Saurus Block though.
