The Magmahold

  Yesterday I played in the one day AoS 3 'War in the Mortal Realms' tournament at Bad Moon Cafe in London, so I thought I'd do a quick write up of the event and what I learned from it. I had three really close and fun games, and I think I probably learned about how to play (or not to play!) Sons of Behemat from those games than I had from a number of more casual games previously. My army I was playing Sons of Behemat, my list was the following: Allegiance: Sons of Behemat - Tribe: Breaker Tribe (Fierce Loathing: Bossy Pants and Clever Clog) - Grand Strategy: Beast Master -  Triumphs: Inspired Leaders Gatebreaker Mega-Gargant  (525)* -  General -  Command Trait: Louder than Words -  Artefact: Amulet of Destiny (Universal Artefact) Warstomper Mega-Gargant  (470) Battleline 3 x Mancrusher Gargant Mob  (490)* 1 x Mancrusher Gargants  (170)* 1 x Mancrusher Gargants  (170)* 1 x Mancrusher Gargants  (170)* Core Battalion...

Yesterday I played in the Hammertime 7 Age of Sigmar (AoS) event using Tabletop Simulator (TTS), so I thought I’d do a blog on how I got, and what it was like playing in a virtual tournament. The Hammertime TTS tournaments have been running for a while now during the UK lockdowns, and as the name suggests, this was the 7 th one. I watched some of the coverage of the previous one and it looked pretty fun, and since Christmas I’ve been playing a fair bit of AoS on TTS, so I thought I’d give it a go. It works much the same as a real life tournament would, except that all the players are in their own homes, so it’s organised over Discord and the games are played on TTS. My list I ran Kharadron Overlords, using a list based on my real life Kharadron force. I didn’t have a huge amount of experience with it – I’ve played one real life game and three or four TTS games prior to the tournament – so I didn’t expect to do very well. My list was as follows: Allegiance: Kharadron Overlord...

  I played my first game with the Kharadron Overlords today, here’s a write-up of how the game went, and some reflections on how I found them. I played 2000 points vs Seraphon, in the Battle for the Pass scenario. My list was: 2 Arkanaut Frigates 2 Grundstok Gunhaulers 10 Grundstok Thunderers 20 Arkanaut Company 10 Arkanaut Company 6 Endrinriggers 6 Endrinriggers Aetheric Navigator Endrinmaster with Dirigible Suit The Seraphon list was Kroak, a lot of saurus warriors (a big unit of 40 and two units of 10), a carnosaur, 10 skinks, 15 chameleon skinks, a skink priest, a saurus sunblood, and a saurus astrolith bearer. I don’t think either are the strongest possible list, and both of us were new to the armies, so it was a fairly casual game. Here are my Kharadron lining up for a pre-game photo shoot. Deployment Battle for the Pass is a lengthways deployment with 24 inches between the armies. It has four objectives, one in each player's deployment zone which ar...
