Another fun day at OG HQ, nice to see you all again & thanks to Noah, Stephen & Ant for my games.

Was fun playing with the Orcs even though I mostly got smashed.

See you at Cardiff.

Well done on your podium Mark! Doing it for the dark elves!

Good luck today guys and honeyset you had better represent today,

I did represent on the saturday - I'm not quite sure how, my list was garbage! I'm going to do a few battle reports in a bit to try and make sense of the madness. It was a really fun day, very relaxed gaming. Thanks Ollie for running it, and for organising the (much more important) killer pool afterwards. Although I think the latter needed more comp.

So well done to Jack for his top place and well done to me for my awful wooden spoon...

Thoughts on comp in my next post.

Thankyou to everyone who came, hope you had fun and see you at the next Waargh in September...

...organising the (much more important) killer pool afterwards. Although I think the latter needed more comp.

I agree! Still furious about it... I assume they'll be an FAQ on the break rules on the GW site soon!!!

Cheers to my opponents for 3 awesome games... The fact that the only things I rage quit were the pool (and the pub!) I think means that I enjoyed the warhammer more than I thought I would!!!

I would love any thoughts on the comp, please add post them here..

If we look at the top 6, we see they are all DE, DoC and LM..

Some thoughts I had were..

DE: Marks list showed that even with the Mindrazor comp, the big corsair unit build (with 2 assasins) is still very hard to deal with, needs addressing

My thought was a cap on frenzied units to 0-1, meaning you either have that unit or the cauldron, not both..

DoC: Greater Daemons, still too hard to deal with, maybe take a few of the toys away from each one...

VC: The Coach combined with Master of the Black Arts + Periapt = Total magic dominace against all but the strongest books and lists..

lvl 2 Vamps knowing the whole lore (ie shadows) will suffer the same fate as Doc heralds , only 2 spells now, not the whole lore

Coach will count as 2 Ethereal units (cap is 0-2), not allowing master + periapt, a guaranteed +3PD combined with the +1 DD and the coach effect is hideous..

I dislike intensely the fact it carries on sucking after it has become ethereal, a crazy rule..

maybe simply an outright ban is needed, thoughts???

Buildings: Open to so much abuse, the rules need fixing ie. leaving the building, set levels for shooting, combats staying locked in, again any ideas welcome as I personally like buildings and want to see more town based boards, but not till the rules are fixed...

Clearly the ogre book is absolute filth, its a good job it'll be gone soon!
Thanks to everyone for the games.
High points being an epic challenge between a butcher and an orc general that seemed to last for ever! Plus the joy of setting up on the 12" line vs boh high elf players, and marching 12" in, 4 bolt throwers didn't have too much time!
Very unlucky for Jamie to fail a ld test with the archers that saw them off the board before really shooting, and Ed blowing the top off his shadow lv4 that could have made a massive difference dropping the ogre toughness.
Thanks guys, cracking games.
Sorry couldn't stay to the end, was being shouted at by the missus
