Knights of the Round Tables

Apparently we will be in the side room again this week, and our usual tables have been booked along with the hall. We will therefore be making use of the Great Round Tables (TM) that are normally stored away from prying eyes. Obviously this is less than ideal for wargaming, but I think the area will still be large enough.

Anyway, it was this or try to cancel at the 11th hour, so we shall bravely soldier on and hope for the best. Knights of the Round Tables, ho!!

Conflict Doubles tournament 07.

We got there and were told that there would only be two other contestants. Luckily, one more showed, giving us a whopping three to play against- at least no null rounds...

First battle was against a couple of guys who had not played a tournament before today. They had onyl brought 500 points each to the party- a pity seeing as it should have been 500 pts each. And this is AFTER someone (an unnamed GW staff-member) had screened the list for validity- they forgot to screen it for size! Luckily, Adam (played brets at axe remastered) had some spare gobbos these and they were able to fill in the gaps.
SO that was undead and gobbos- an untrusted pairing. Had a good game against these two and massacred them (7-1 victory), and also gained the three bonus battle points for objectives (standards in this case).

The Conquests of Ka'atess

Conquest - 2000 point WHFB tournament, 5 games, held over Easter Sunday and Monday.... +1 to result for unit in opponents deployment zone, killing general and holding most table quarters.

Using the same army that got me 4th at Cancon, very happy with the way it works.

Let Loose the Hounds of War

As I have already lamented in another article, the Dogs of War are an army that is being left behind by Warhammer as the game develops. Since the introduction of 6th Edition, all of the armies have now been properly released (some are now in their second incarnation) except for two – the Chaos Dwarfs and the Dogs of War. These armies are both still running on “temporary” lists, and seem likely to do so until they vanish entirely.

But I’m not going to talk about that now. This article is about using the Dogs of War in their current form, and maybe throwing around some ideas about their use that may not have occurred to everyone. The Dogs of War remain a legitimate army, and one of only two (the other being Ogre Kingdoms) that can be fielded alongside almost any other army. This should make them something that every player at least considers, no matter what army they are focused on. Henceforth I shall refer to them as DoW, for the sake of typing less (because I am lazy)1.

Ironfoundersson's Brewery: A brief history (part two)

Located in the green and verdant lands bordering The Moot is a small community of Dwarven brewers and craftsmen. At the centre of the settlement is Ironfoundersson's Brewery, home of Ironfoundersson's Unbeatable Ale. Founded by Brag Ironfoundersson in the imperial year 1227, the brewery has passed through successive generations of the Ironfoundersson family to it's current incumbent, Snorri Ironfoundersson.

THE SIGN OF THE GOLDEN ANVIL:

The Sign of The Golden Anvil (Bryn Grong) is a tavern much favoured by Dwarven warriors and beer convoy guards. In times of trouble, they march forth under their tavern sign, bearing their ancient family axes, and time honoured shields.
