Equinox 2010 - Tournament Thread- updated list of players

[omegakai]

Themed ALL nurgle, thus not Utilizing  2 other lores, Bloodletters, horrors, Daemonettes, FURIES, Flesh hounds, Screamers, Seekers, Bloodcurshers, Flamers, and Fiends.

I consider my choices a concession on options given the players pack promotes multi god forces, rather then mono god.

[Vaul]

I think the Nurgle wall (Rion's list as it were) is a poor choice for Equinox. Unless your opponent is a complete idiot they will have realised how nuts the regenning Plaguebearers are and will play either for avoidance or, if they have massed flaming goodness, to take out one block.

If you play on average a tier 6 list you are giving up a stack of points. Conservative play by most opponents will result in you consistently losing 12-8 off the back of the comp differential.

You're up against a nasty spell cast on 5 dice every magic phase though, so that can lose you some points if he's lucky with his dice!

[Philfy]

Bugger - looks like my fishing luck is about as good as Daves...  given only Rion bit, and badly at that 

[richardbarby]

yes fujin

i  do mean theme it also not a push over

there all nurgle fits well to proper doc fluff

[Dirty_Vod]

I approve of Dirty Daves' thematic approach, it's the same theme that I've been using for the past 20 years .

[Big D]

Considering you wrote his list for him, it's not unexpected that you would approve.

[Fujin]

Thanks Tony. That makes me look so so good.

[Vent]

I'm going to be wandering around with a camera all weekend taking photos of games and armies. I'll also have my light box there to take shots of the armies entered into the painting part of the comp. So everyone look pretty... oh so pretty...

[Josh]

My terrain for Equinox. Just finished.

[nik_]

Looks really nice! (As long as the trees are removable. They are removable, right...)

[Fujin]

(As long as the trees are removable. They are removable, right...)

Says the Wood Elf...


That terrain looks mint Josh. Nice work!

[Josh]

Magnetic trees FTW.  I wouldn't want my nice little trees to get all smooshed when SOME people may try to cram as many wardancers in there as possible.

[Vaul]

I can't find my personal flamer template.  Can someone please bring a spare one for me at the tournament on saturday? thanks.

[nik_]

I can bring one, if you promise you won't use it if we get drawn to play together

[Vaul]

how will I get the chance, i'll just get cowered and shot, it won't matter.

[Josh]

Just so everyone knows, Vaul and I had another cracking practice game last night and I rolled my first GATEWAY FTW! on his Hydra. The dice are warming up... beware. Also, note that Chosen are awesome when you keep passing all their armour saves.

[omegakai]

Vaul wount that be two times this week people have gatewayed your hydra.

ive gate wayed about 4 differnt units, with last nights 12 S 12 hits on chaos dwarfs

[richardbarby]

its comical how good your luck was with the gateway
rest of the game it was regular luck gateway cast twice

12 strenght 9 hits unit pounded 10dead
12 strenght 12 hits unit gone just a smokeing ruin with 20 sets of smoking boots where they once stood

[SKELATOR]

a game of skill then

[Josh]

Aw, you love it! Black Knights goin' down...

[SKELATOR]

yer i do

[Fujin]

a game of skill then

I'm sorry, did someone say "Dreadlance + Red Fury"?

No? Must have been the wind...

[SKELATOR]

funny dave

[Fujin]

 

[Josh]

Arguably Warhammer is also a game of luck. Combos like Dreadlance/Red Fury reduce the luck factor without effecting the skill required IMO. I don't see anything wrong with it... as long as he stays away from my units that is...

[omegakai]

My calls for this event
Top 3 positions will consist of. Bret , DE, and Skaven

[Jeff]

Well  two minor losses and a minor win so far but im pretty happy with that.. especially considering my 513 point unit of Rhinox Riders havent got any points back yet :/ (panic first turn.. twice and gatewayed once)

[Josh]

Two draws and a loss for me. Lame. Here's hoping for a good second day. Team Guard did managed 3rd in the Team Challenge though, one ahead of team North.

[richardbarby]

day one belongs to team canada much like the winter olympics owning the podium

great effort bill

[omegakai]

miss cat and rolled 2 ones, on the frsit game in turn 2 in teh frsit game givng me a 6 /14 loss draw vs thomas fro 10/10 and a 16/4 win vs another DOC even thou i repeated the 1;s followed by 1;s and in BOTH cases i was only rolling two dice to cast spell one, that casts on a 3.
