Cinderfall District GT Preview

Good morning all, we are now back with our first post-COVID-19 event preview: the Cinderfall District GT on 1/2 August 2020. The event is a classic 5 games, 2000 points, individual matched play tournament held in Adelaide, South Australia and hosted by Luke Stone of Cinderfall Gaming. South Australia has a great scene (as you’d see from the annual South Australia GT).

Cinderfall District GT Pack

Here are the key pack details:

  • All games set in Aqshy, the Realm of Fire using all realm rules;
  • Mysterious Terrain is pre-set for the event;
  • General’s Handbook 2020 matched play rules in play;
  • No legacy warscrolls;
  • Battleplans:
    • Total Conquest
    • Scorched Earth
    • Focal Points
    • Forcing the Hand
    • The Blades Edge

You can read the full pack for more details.

Scoring

The scoring system is trying something different, by adding Victory Points Scored to points for a result:

  • Your army list submitted late or incorrectly: -5 points
  • Major Victory: 100 points
  • Minor Victory: 80 points
  • Draw: 50 points
  • Minor Loss: 30 points
  • Major Loss: 10 points

The total amount of victory points scored at the end of the game will be added to your overall tournament point score. Games that do not finish a full five rounds will not be allowed to calculate an estimated amount of victory points, only victory points scored when dice down is called will be added to the total score. All Games are expected to try to be played until the end of turn 5 so that an accurate score can be calculated. For example: If you won a major victory and scored 18 Victory points in the game, you would get 118 Tournament Points.

Cinderfall District GT Lists

There are 20 people coming to the Cinderfall District GT this year. Unfortunately, South Australia closed its borders with NSW and Victoria in the last few weeks being the 20 players travelling from other states could no longer attend. But the South Australian crew are well represented.

Here is the faction breakdown:

  • 3 Gloomspite Gitz (up the gitz!)
  • 2 Blades of Khorne
  • 2 Stormcast Eternals
  • 1 Big Waaagh!
  • 1 Daughters of Khaine
  • 1 Flesh Eater Courts
  • 1 Fyreslayers
  • 1 Hedonites of Slaanesh
  • 1 Kharadron Overlords (Khron, Khron, Khron!)
  • 1 Nighthaunt
  • 1 Ogor Mawtribes
  • 1 Ossiarch Bonereapers
  • 1 Skaven
  • 1 Slaves to Darkness
  • 1 Sylvaneth

You can read all the lists here.

My personal favourites from the lists are:

  • Alex Khron (CanKhron) taking his Barak Zilfin Kharadron Overlords for another spin. This list is a further evolution of his list from pre-lockdown events.
  • Jason Dowley running the 2,000 point version of Shootcast Stormcast Eternals and taking advantage of the points reductions. This build works very well at 2.500 points so it will be interesting to see if it has enough at 2,000.
  • Kris Becker running the Squigalanche – purely because SQUIGS!
  • Kyle Tregloan because he is taking 3 massive spiders, 20 baby spiders and the Troggoth Hag!
  • Luke Doman running an All Stars style Slaanesh build with Chaos Marauders. I can see this list either smashing or flopping depending on the match-up.
  • Doom and Darkness himself running a Junkmob Boulderhead with 2 Scraplaunchers! I remember someone trying to tell me that Scraplaunchers were great in 8th ed and didn’t believe them. Maybe their time is now?
  • Finally, Wayne Buck for running a Skaven list that in some games will go absolutely bonkers! 2 Warp Lightning Cannons, 3 Doomwheels, 40 Acolytes and a whole load of more-more-more Warp Power!

So those are some of my favourite lists. I’ll be back with a wrap up and results from the event.

SAGT 2020 Lists & Preview!

Hey all, today we have a preview of the South Australian Grand Tournament 2020 (SAGT). SAGT 2020 is coming next weekend, 14/15 March, in Adelaide Australia. It is South Australia’s premier Warhammer Age of Sigmar tournament and one of the largest events in Australia.

The SAGT is put on by Michael from Doom & Darkness and Mathew “The Wildform” Weiss. Michael is the pretty face while Mathew does the work and gets the important things done.

You can also look back at my preview and results/review from the SAGT 2019.

SAGT 2020 Lists!

Michael was joined by the team from Warhammer Weekly (Vince and Tom) along with Mr Mephisto to review all 49 submitted lists for the tournament. Check out all the lists and have three hours of list discussion accompany you while you hobby.

As you can see, there are 38 sub-factions coming amongst the 49 players at the event. Great to see Big Waaagh! still up there, as well as some of the Wrath of the Everchosen factions coming through on to the tournament scene.

I’ll be covering the event over the weekend on Twitter, and have a full review after the weekend. Many of the Measured Gaming club from Bendigo are in attendance and many of their lists are “hot picks” to perform well.

All proceeds from the Doom & Darkness YouTube channel go to charity so be sure to hit the like button, leave a comment and be sure to subscribe as all of these interactions help promote the video and in turn raise funds for Dementia research.

SAGT 2019 by all reports was one of the best events of the 2019 Australia Age of Sigmar tournament season and SAGT 2020 looks like it will only be better!

Age of Sigmar

Sheffield Slaughter 2019

The Sheffield Slaughter was held once again at the Davy Sporting Club, Prince of Wales Road, Sheffield on the weekend of 23/24 February 2019.

5 games of 2000 points Age of Sigmar. The event used realmscape features, and the signature command and spells from each realm (i.e. not the full set if realm spells).

You can check out the tournament pack and the event card (for scoring).


Sheffield Slaughter 2019 Coverage

The weekend was streamed and covered by the Honest Wargamer with guest commentary from Adam of AngelCast (the London-based AoS podcast). Not only were they covering the top tables, but they also streamed the adventures of one player throughout the tournament (who I believe finished 39th). Its great seeing the developments in streaming coverage with more options and more match-ups being covered.

You can watch back all the coverage, for free, on the Honest Wargamer Twitch channel.
