Convic 2019 Aftermath - Part 2

This is a continuation of my tournament report of Convic. You can find the previous part here.

So I had narrowly escaped with a win in the first game. This was an unusually positive start for a KoW tournament by my standards. Probably meant I was heading for a fall...

Game 2: Loot (1495pts)

Yan Lai - Empire of Dust

• Revenant Horde
• Mummy Regiment
• Mummy Regiment
• Revenant Chariot Regiment
• Revenant Chariot Regiment
• Scavenger Regiment
• Scorpion Husk
• Bone Giant
• Cursed High Priest on Mount with Blizzard
• Revenant Champion on Mount

I really should take a photo of people's army lists before each game. I can never remember the details in terms of items. I'm missing 35 points here somewhere.
EDIT: Thanks to Yan's feedback we now know the Revenant Horde had Brew of Strength and the Revenant Champion had the Blade of Slashing. Thanks Yan!

During setup we established that the last time I had played Yan was at Axemaster. It was Warhammer 7th edition. So probably over 10 years ago. The people you run into...

There were more loot tokens over on the right, so I naturally loaded that flank a bit more. I might have underdone it on the left, really. Oh well, can't be everywhere. 2 tokens is enough for a win.

Cancon 2017 Aftermath - Part 1

Cancon is over for another year, and despite being a bit under the weather during the trip, I survived. As usual I will offer a bit of a summary of my experiences at the tournament. Rather than distract myself with a proper camera, I only took my phone with me this time. So the photos may not be that great, or that numerous. Maybe it will help me talk less this time...

My army was Ogres. I was unsure what to take, but a friend convinced me that Ogres would be compact to transport and move from game to game, so they were a practical choice for a road trip like this one. I decided to take an army with very few magic items (even ignoring obvious ones like +1 to hit on the Shooters) in order to keep things simple and stuff in as many Ogres as I could.

• Horde of Ogre Warriors
• Regiment of Ogre Warriors
• Horde of Siege Breakers
• Horde of Siege Breakers
• Regiment of Hunters
• Horde of Shooters
• Horde of Boomers
• Regiment of Chariots
• Warlord
• Army Standard with the Boomstick
• Warlock with Inspiring Talisman

Game 1 - Pillage!

Andrew Old - Basileans

• Horde of Crossbowmen with Brew of Keen-eyeness
• Regiment of Foot Guard
• Regiment of Foot Guard
• Regiment of Foot Guard
• Regiment of Foot Guard
• Horde of Elohi with Brew of Haste
• Horde of Elohi with Pipes of Terror
• High Paladin on Dragon with Medallion of Life
• Phoenix

Andrew's army was comprised of Stormcast Eternals, or Sigmarines, or whatever they are actually called. It was pretty cool. Lots of flyers, though...

Convic 2016 Aftermath - Part 2

This post is a continuation of my report of Convic. You can find the previous part here.

After a win and a loss with my 1000 point list, I was obviously in danger of getting comfortable with my army. So it was time to change things up a bit, and the next 2 games would be using the 1500 point list instead. More toys!

Game 3
1500 points, Dominate!
Rohan Keating, Empire of Dust

• Ahmunite Pharaoh with Boomstick
• Ahmunite Pharaoh with Wings of the Honeymaze
• Revenant Horde with Brew of Strength
• Mummy Troop
• Mummy Troop
• Enslaved Guardian Archer Horde
• Bone Giant
• Bone Dragon

Rowan had made the trip down from Sydney for the event and it was good to catch up. I preferred not to think about how he spanked me about up at Cancon, though. Time for revenge and stuff. Maybe.

On the bright side, my 1500 point list was not too dramatically different from my 1000 point one. I still had things like the Warlock and Berserker Braves, so I had at least some idea of what went where...

Nick came and visited the tournament in the afternoon, and ran off with my camera. Consequently I have a number of photos of people and models that have nothing to do with this game, but little in the way of the deployment on my own table.

I started by deploying my Shooter horde in a forest, because it seemed like the thing to do. It had a good view of the central objective, so it was not a bad place for a move-or-fire unit. Rowan then deployed giving them nothing whatsoever to shoot at. Kill-joy.

This is the final part of my tournament account. You can find the previous part here.

Game 5: Loot!
Lockjaw, Kingdoms of Men

• Berserker Horde - Pathfinder
• Berserker Horde - Fire Oil
• Berserker Regiment
• Berserker Regiment
• Beast of War - Ballista
• Beast of War - Ballista
• Siege Artillery
• Siege Artillery
• Ogre Shooter Horde - +1 to hit
• Wizard on Pegasus - Inspiring
• Wizard on Pegasus
• Wizard on Pegasus
• Army Standard on Horse - Boomstick

Coming into this game I was on 2 wins and 2 losses. I'm afraid at this point my photo-taking broke down entirely. I was aware of having already failed at it in my previous games, so I decided to give up and focus on playing my games instead. I've patched together something approximating the battlefield so you can get a handle on what I'm talking about, but from now on you're on your own. Best of luck to you...

This was the table and deployment. More or less. The little compasses are the loot markers.
