Or the game of ‘elevens and twelves’. After a very close defeat against Neil’s Lizards in the club Semi-Final, it put me into the third place playoff (or loser’s game) against Luke C and his Dark Elves. This was the third time I’d played Luke in the last year and each time had been against… Read More WHFB – Beastmen vs Dark Elves – 3rd Place Playoff – SELWG Competition Game
I’ve been pretty quiet on the hobby front recently. I’ve not lifted a paintbrush in over a month and a half and the bit of free time i’ve had has mainly been spent on Total War – Warhammer 2. That being said, I do have a number of Bloodbowl games to finish writing up and… Read More WHFB – Beastmen vs Lizardmen – Semi-Final – SELWG Competition Game
The quarter-finals of the club competition have taken a while to kick off due to scheduling conflicts. The first was played at the end of March between Neil (Lizardmen) and Antonio (High Elves). These two met in last year’s whfb semi-final (which Antonio won) and the KOW final (which Neil won). In this grudge match,… Read More WHFB – Beastmen vs Skaven – Quarter-Final – SELWG Competition Game
Considering that i’m running the club competition I’ve been rather slack with posting any updates on my own blog. In fairness this is mainly because i’ve been using other avenues to report on it in order to reach the actual participants. That aside the Group stages have now finished so it seemed an apt time… Read More 2017/18 SELWG WHFB Competition Group Stage Results
The 5th of January saw me face off against Alistair’s Orc and Goblins, in my final group game of the Warhammer Fantasy Competition. Having given him a practice game with my Dwarves, at the end of last year, I had some idea of what to expect from his army. As such, in a straight fight… Read More WHFB – Beastmen vs Orcs – SELWG Competition Game
On Friday I faced off against the second opponent in my group, Martin and his Longbeard heavy Dwarves. It was another game I was looking forward to immensely, as I’ve played Dwarves a lot in this edition but I’ve not played against them in some years and with his three stubborn blocks of Longbeards, cannon… Read More WHFB – Beastmen vs Dwarves – SELWG Competition Game
It’s funny how things work out. You finally manage to get a game against someone you’ve never played before (in this case Luke C) and then in the space of a month (or so) you get to play an almost carbon copy game. The difference, this one was my first game in our club competition.… Read More WHFB – Beastmen vs Dark Elves – SELWG Comp’ game
Following on from the last post, in this one i’ll look at the next member of Group A. Namely Alistair and his Orc and Goblin army. I’ve only ever played Alistair at Kings of War and he showed a frightening ability to learn from previous games and adapt his list and tactics. As such, although… Read More The Green Machine
In a series of three posts, I’ll be looking at the army lists of my opponents in Group A of the competition, evaluating the army and then trying to work out how I would win the scenarios in their shoes. Fair warning to readers, this will be quite long, wordy, very few pictures and is… Read More Master of the Longbeards
As well as the game against Paul on Friday, the draw was also made for the groups in the competition. With a last bit of recruitment on the Friday, I managed to get the numbers up to 16 which allowed 4 groups of 4. The draw was made by the independent adjudicator: Cormac. After the… Read More SELWG 2017 Warhammer Competition Kicks Off!
