An odd thing happened at Horned Gobbo this weekend not once during the entire weekend did I engage in the usual tournament ritual of re-writing my army list after every game and at the end of the each tournament day.
Day 2 is done and Im home in front of the fire with time to reflect on another great WHFB event.
Had an interesting situation crop up while playing against Calebs Warriors of Chaos on Thursday regarding the High Magic lore attribute and how the WS is affected by the Mage leaving the unit. Situation was as follows: L2 with Phoenix Guard successfully casts spell from High Magic – L2 and PG get +1 WS L4 with White Lions successfully casts spell from Lore of Shadow and swaps places with L2. Now the question was – what happens to the +1 WS that the High Magic lore attribute grants? The lore rule states that “The caster and his unit get +1WS” Now normally the standard rules that cover Augments and Hexes would apply here but a Lore Attribute is neither an augment or a Hex even though it acts like an Augment.
Another night where rather than get some work done I decide to make another collection of lists from the new High Elf book, which by the way gets better everytime you read it.
Did some tidying last night after getting home from the club and pulled out my box of unpainted models, most of them anyway, and got a shock when I saw just how many there were.
Well I chickened out in the end and left my horde of 39 Swordmasters out home last night opting instead for a boring variation of my High Elf tournament list, albiet one with a Dragon mage included.
Part 1 also updated with pictures Game 4 vs. Orcs n Goblins (Nicholas Jebson) Blood & Glory First Turn – Yes Result 8-12 This was the most enjoyable game of the tournament against a very likeable guy and a battle in which we threw a huge amount of dice and were going at it hammer and tongs for 6 turns with the game in the balance the entire time.
Back from Horned Rat V and another enjoyable gaming weekend with some good people and fantastic armies on display.
The deep Asuryan Blue sky and bright sun shining off the glittering armour of his arrayed warhost filled Lord Ehardill Alnaen Archmage of the 7th House with confidence as he scanned the battlefield ahead of him.
Played against Reagans Empire army last night and a slightly modified list on his part.
