Hey guys, with CanCon this week it is time for the Tasman Cup 2020! The Tasman Cup is a team event contested between teams from Australia and New Zealand.  Last year was the inaugural year with teams of 5 facing off. This year, with a larger travelling NZ contingent, we now have teams of 9 ready to throw down at Jolt Games in Canberra. In this post I cover the pack, introduce the teams and show their lists. 

If you are interested in reliving last year’s glorious victory for Team NZ, you can check out the coverage here:

Tasman Cup 2020 Pack

The Tasman Cup is played as a primer for CanCon, so we are using the CanCon pack with all games being set in Ghyran and using the first round battle plan of Border War. 

We are also using a form of ETC pairings to determine the match-ups.  The pairings are best explained through a diagram. The aim is to try to guarantee the most favourable match-ups for your team, avoiding strong counters and occasionally throwing someone under the bus (taking a bad match-up for the good of the team). 

So lets get to the teams!

Team Aotearoa New Zealand

We are bringing the heat this year with a stacked team of James Page, Shaun Bates, Shaun Tubman, Lee Wilmot, Matt Watkinson, James McGregor, Aiden Nicol, Seth Cook and Regan O’Halloran.

James Page (Tzeentch)

James is the current New Zealand master and stoked to be able to unleash the new Disciples of Tzeentch book on CanCon.  Expect 11 casts a turn, plenty of Destiny Dice rigging, Changehost movement shenanigans, and lots and lots of summoning.

Shaun Bates (Stormcast)

Shaun is the current New South Wales champions (winner of the Sydney GT) and New Zealand’s best Stormcast player.  He also talks shit on the Notorious Age of Sigmar podcast. Shaun is taking his trusty shootcast with the addition of some sushi borrowed from Lee. 

Shaun Tubman (Gloomspite Gitz)

Shaun, the other half of the Notorious podcast, previous NZ master and inventor of the yellow Bad Moon balloon.  Shaun is running a wave of bodies backed up by strong casting and lots of endless spells. 

Matt Watkinson (Tzeentch)

The first of Team NZ’s English imports (seriously, emigrate here people) is Matty Watkinson.  An all-round lovely gent with a beautifully painted army, which you can look at as it burns you off the table.  Matt has brought the fire and, after a great result at Sydney GT too, is expected to do well. 

Lee Wilmot (Tempest’s Eye))

Returning Tasman Cup player Lee is known for his mixed Order collection and obsession with allied choices. Lee is coming off winning Valley Con last weekend and taking the first trophy with Tempest’s Eye anywhere in the world. 

James McGregor (Tempest’s Eye)

James is coming over for his first CanCon and is also bringing a Tempest’s Eye list.  Phoenix Guard, Irondrakes, Endrinriggers, a Phoenix and lots of support. What’s not to like?

Seth Cook (Mawtribes)

Seth, our ass-kicking American librarian, is on a redemption path after his rather short game against Liam Burnett-Blue last year.  Seth is bringing reinforcements this time with a new and improved Mawtribes battletome and a load of angry fat guys. 

Aiden Nicol (Legion of Grief)

The master of horde armies before they were cool (see original Pestilens and now Grief), Aiden is attending his first CanCon and flooding the board with ghosts.  Can’t wait to see those Myrmourn Banshees barrelling around the board. 

Regan O’Halloran (Legion of Night)

Last but not least, is Upper Hunt’s Regan.  Also a CanCon debutant, he is rocking with Legion of Night to surprise some people with things that go bump in the night.

Team Australia

So who are the random bunch of Australians picked to face off against Aotearoa’s travelling posse?  

Sam Morgan (captain) (Order)

SMorgan, Victorian, former Australian ETC MVP, and member of the Dwellers podcast who 20-0’d an English Master.  Sam is drawing attention with a rather unique Mixed Order list with all the big names.

Mat Tyrell (Nighthaunt)

Mat is the current Australian master, the Australian ETC captain, and the Mayor of Dubbo.  Always a keen Death man, Matt is taking Nighthaunt this year. Despite the new list, not a man to be underestimated. 

Hayden Walker (Mawtribes)

Hayden Walker, the man from Brisbane, personal trainer, committed member of #StormcastStrong and aelf-lover.  However, this year he is running his Jurassic Park themed, 6 model Mawtribes army! Whatever the result, this is going to be a fun weekend for Hayden running 6 big beasties. 

Gabriel Hanna (Ironjawz)

Gabe of Rune Axe Wargaming (and another Queensland man) has abandoned his beloved Legion of Azgorh in order to smash face up close and personal with an Ironjawz lists.  Gabe’s armies always look great so I can’t wait to see it on the tabletop. 

Chris Welfare (Sylvaneth)

Chris, host of the Mortally Wounded podcast and Sydney Slaughter TO, is a perennial Masters podium player.  Chris is on a mission to prove that Sylvaneth are still worth their salt and is taking advantage of the recent points drops, while relying on his trusty old faithful branchwych bomb. 

Dave Hurley (Idoneth Deepkin)

Dave, I must confess, I do not know much about.  Dave is running an eel-based Deepkin list after switching over from Death for Sydney GT.

Ash McEwan (Tzeentch)

Ash, a golden boy of Australian Warhammer, took last year’s CanCon by storm with an unexpected Nighthaunt list.  This year, Ash claims to be running “friendly Tzeentch” (if friendly is defined as generating a large number of Destiny Dice to rig every key roll in the game. 

Liam Burnett-Blue (Bonereapers)

Liam, one-half of the excellent Down Under Sigmar series on YouTube with AoS Coach, is really leaning into his Warhammer Villain status by taking Petrifex Elite this year.  Liam will be looking for his second Tasman Cup victory in two years. 

Nick Hoen (Slaves to Darkness)

Nick, also of the Dwellers, has stepped in at the last minute to run a Slaves to Darkness list for Team Australia.  This list has far more to it than meets the eye and Nick is a great player (finishing high at CanCon 2019).

I’ll be back later in the week with a full report of how the event unfolded. 

Hey all, this week is CanCon 2020! The largest Warhammer Age of Sigmar singles event in the world. 240 tickets sold, 228 lists submitted, the pride of Australia, and coming this weekend! The lists for the event have been released so I have a quick post with some initial comments. A full preview of the pack will come later this week.

LVO 2020 Lists – Who to Watch?

So what are the lists that last year’s top 8 are bringing? Do we think they will repeat their great performance from a year ago?

The LVO 2019 top 8 knockout competitors were:

• Bill Souza (Team America ETC captain) – Flesh-eater Courts
• Andrew Standiferd (defeated finalist) – Stormcast
• Jeff Paynter – Stormcast
• Matthew Pashby – Idoneth Deepkin
• Joe Krier – Disciples of Tzeentch
• Roger Barker – Grand Host of Nagash (Team America ETC coach)
• Alan Bajramovic – Grand Host of Nagash
• Olivier Gandouet – Idoneth Deepkin

So who is back and what are they running? It turns out only Bill, Joe and Roger are back to defend their spoils so the field is open.

Bill is back running Blisterkin Flesh-Eater Courts this year, Joe has his beloved Tzeentch and a massive pile of endless spells (but no new Tzeentch book in play) and Roger has switched to the crazy green lads with Kunnin Rukk Bonesplitterz.

Now let’s also have a look at some of the other Team America ETC players coming to LVO 2020. They are Greg Goede and Jeremy Veysserie. Greg is running Skaven and Jeremy is running Hermdar Fyreslayers.

Las Vegas Open Pack

The Las Vegas Open 2019 is running a truly unique format for competitive Warhammer Age of Sigmar – eight rounds over three days, with the last three rounds only being contested by the top eight players! Read the full pack for more information, otherwise I’ll take you through the key points below.

• 2,000 points matched play, General’s Handbook 2019
• 5 rounds, with a subsequent 3 round shootout for the top 8 to crown the overall champion
• Realm artifacts and realm spells in play
• Limited Realms of Battle Rules (see below)
• Rules cut-off three weeks before the event (so no new KO and Tzeentch), but FAQs in play up to 2 days before.
• Pre-set terrain by the TOs
• Bone-Tithe Nexus’ replace one of the large pieces of terrain on the table (more than 1″ from objectives and 6″ from edge of battlefield and cant be placed right in the very centre of the battlefield).

I’d also recommend you check out the Wide World of Wargaming podcast episode which covered the event pack and scoring.

---

Las Vegas Open Scoring

The event also has an interesting scoring and secondary objectives system.

• Major Victory – 17 points
• Minor Victory – 12 points
• Draw – 8 points
• Minor Loss – 5 points
• Major Loss – 0 points

There are additional points for secondary objectives and painting. Favourite opponent votes are collected separately.

Battleplan secondaries

Each round has one secondary mission that is worth 2 points and can only be scored by one player. Some are scored when they are first achieved while others are scored at the end of the game.

• CENTER GROUND: You complete this Secondary if you control the objective in the center of the battlefield at the end of the battle.  Count a hero as 10 models for controlling the center objective, only for the purpose of scoring this secondary.
• SEIZE: You complete this Secondary if you control more the objectives at the end of the battle than your opponent.  Count a battleline unit as double for controlling the center objective, only for the purpose of scoring this secondary. (Note this will not stack with the Might Makes Right allegiance ability of Ogor Mawtribes.)
• BLOODTHIRSTY: You complete this Secondary if you are the first player to destroy a unit.  If neither player destroys a unit by the end of the game then the one that killed the first model scores this secondary.  Barring that roll off.
• FINAL WORD: You complete this Secondary if you are the last player to destroy a unit.  If neither player destroys a unit by the end of the game then the one that killed the last model scores this secondary.  Barring that roll off.
• LINEBREAKER: You complete this Secondary if you destroy more battleline units than your opponent.  If you both destroyed the same number then the player that destroyed more points worth of battleline units scores this secondary.  If that is also equal roll off. For the purposes of this secondary a unit is considered destroyed by the opponent once the last model in that unit is slain for the first time (for any reason).

Army missions

Each army must also pick a mission at the time of list submission to achieve over the course of the entire event. Each round you receive 2 points if you achieve your mission and another 1 point if your opponent does not achieve theirs.

• CONSERVE: You complete this Mission if at least one-third of the units from your starting army (rounding up) have not been destroyed and are on the battlefield at the end of the battle.
• ATTRITION: You complete this Mission if at least two-thirds of the units from your opponent’s starting army (rounding up) have been destroyed and/or are not on the battlefield at the end of the battle.
• INVADE: You complete this Mission if a friendly unit with 3 or more models is wholly within your opponent’s territory at the end of the battle.
• DEFEND: You complete this Mission if there are no enemy units wholly within your territory at the end of the battle.
• SLAY: You complete this Mission if the Hero with the highest points value from your opponent’s starting army has been slain at the end of the battle. If two or more Heroes are eligible, slay either of them.
• OVERRUN:  You complete this Mission at the end of any battle round if you have at least one unit wholly within each of the four quarters of the battlefield, and your opponent does not.

Hidden Agendas

After both armies have been set up, each player picks a hidden agenda in secret. Again you get 2 points each round for achieving it and 1 point for depriving your opponent of theirs.

• ANCIENT HEIRLOOMS: You complete this Hidden Agenda if any friendly Heroes with an artifact of power are on the battlefield at the end of the battle.
• DOMINATE: You immediately complete this Hidden Agenda if you control two more objectives than your opponent.
• OBLITERATE: You immediately complete this Hidden Agenda if you destroy 3 or more enemy units in the same turn.
• ONSLAUGHT: You immediately complete this Hidden Agenda if a friendly unit that is more than 9” from any enemy units attempts to charge and the charge does not fail.
• RETAKE: You immediately complete this Hidden Agenda if you gain control of an objective that was controlled by your opponent.
• SACRIFICE: You complete this Hidden Agenda immediately if the Hero with the highest points value from your starting army, and that is not your general is slain by an attack made by an enemy Hero or Monster.
• SECRET MISSION: You complete this Hidden Agenda in any battleshock phase if a friendly Hero is wholly within an enemy territory, within 1” of the edge of the battle field, and more than 12” from a friendly territory.  You can remove that hero from play to immediately complete this hidden agenda. 
• SORCERER SUPREME: You immediately complete this Hidden Agenda if an enemy Hero is slain by mortal wounds inflicted by a friendly wizard.
• TERRIFY: You immediately complete this Hidden Agenda if an enemy unit is destroyed as a result of failing a battleshock test.

Las Vegas Open 2020 Battleplans

The LVO is using the following battleplans for the first 5 rounds, with the following modifications (the changes are in square brackets):

• R1: Focal Points 2018 in Ghyran
  • Victory: The player with the most victory points at the end of the fifth battle round (or when the amount of time allocated for the battle runs out), wins a [minor victory]. [If one player has at least 4 points more than their opponent that player scores a major victory instead. If victory points are tied the result is a draw.]
  • Battleplan Secondary – Center Ground: You complete Secondary if you control the objective closest to the center of the battlefield at the end of the battle.  Count Heroes as 10 models when determining control of an objective for this secondary.
  • Realmscape Feature – Lifesprings: Before the battle begins, each player picks a Hero from their army. Add 1 to the Wounds characteristic of the heroes that are picked.

• R2: Duality of Death 2018 in Ghur
  • Victory: The player with the most victory points at the end of the fifth battle round (or when the amount of time allocated for the battle runs out) wins a [minor victory].  [If one player has at least 4 points more than their opponent that player scores a major victory instead. If victory points are tied the result is a draw.]
  • Battleplan Secondary – Bloodthirsty:  You complete this Secondary if you are the first player to destroy a unit.  If neither player destroys a unit by the end of the game then the one that killed the first model scores this secondary.  Barring that roll off.
  • Realmscape Feature – Reckless Aggression:  Any unit that is within 12″ of an enemy unit at the start of their charge phase suffers 1 mortal wound unless they finish that charge phase within 3″ of an enemy model. In addition, you can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for units that have made a charge move in the same turn.

• R3: Blood and Glory in Aqshy
  • Victory: Starting from the third battle round, one player immediately wins a major victory if they have control of all four objectives [at the end of their turn]. If neither player has won by the end of the fifth battle round, or the amount of time allocated for the battle runs out, then the player that controls the most objectives wins a minor victory. If both players control the same number of objectives at the end the game is a draw.
  • Battleplan Secondary – Final word: You complete this Secondary if you are the last player to destroy a unit.  If neither player destroys a unit by the end of the game then the one that killed the last model scores this secondary.  Barring that roll off.
  • Realmscape Feature – Clouds of Smoke and Steam: A model cannot see another model if a straight line drawn from the centre of its base to the centre of the other model’s base passes across a terrain feature other than open ground and/or hills.

• R4: Battle for the Pass 2019 in Ulgu
  • Victory: The player with the most victory points at the end of the fifth battle round (or when the amount of time allocated for the battle runs out) wins a [minor victory].  [If one player has at least 3 points more than their opponent that player scores a major victory instead. If victory points are tied the result is a draw.]
  • Battleplan Secondary – Linebreaker: You complete this Secondary if you destroy more battleline units than your opponent.  If you both destroyed the same number then the player that destroyed more points worth of battleline units scores this secondary.  If that is also equal roll off. For the purposes of this secondary a unit is considered destroyed by the opponent once the last model in that unit is slain for the first time (for any reason).
  • Realmscape Feature – Shadow Realm: At the start of your hero phase, pick one friendly unit that has all of its models within 6″ of any edge of the battlefield. You can remove that unit from the battlefield, and then set it up more than 9″ from any enemy units, and with all models within 6″ of a different edge of the battlefield. Then roll a dice for each model you moved; on a 1 the model being rolled for becomes lost in the shadows and is slain. The unit may not move in the subsequent movement phase

• R5: Starstrike 2019 in Hysh
  • Victory: The player with the most victory points at the end of the fifth battle round (or when the amount of time allocated for the battle runs out) wins a [minor victory].  [If one player has at least 5 points more than their opponent that player scores a major victory instead. If victory points are tied the result is a draw.]
  • Battleplan Secondary – Seize: You complete this Secondary if you control more the objectives at the end of the battle than your opponent. Count a battleline unit as double the number of models for controlling the center objective, only for the purpose of scoring this secondary. (Note this will not stack with the Might Makes Right allegiance ability of Ogor Mawtrimes.)
  • Realmscape Feature – Dazzling Glow: Subtract 1 from hit rolls made for attacks that target units that are in cover.

Facehammer GT Pack

The Facehammer GT has a top quality pack with something for all players and an innovative 20-0 scoring system. The aim being to challenge and differentiate between the top players in an 80 player field. You can read the full pack here but the highlights are:

• 3 hour rounds
• 2,000 points
• General’s Handbook 2019
• Battleplans randomly selected from the 18 matched play scenarios on the day
  • Round 1 – Shifting Objectives
  • Round 2 – Places of Arcane Power
  • Round 3 – Total Commitment
  • Round 4 – Focal Points
  • Round 5 – Total Conquest
• Scenery pre-placed by the organisers – mysterious terrain used but you only roll once to determine the applicable terrain table and then all pieces are rolled from that table
• Realm artefacts in use
• No realmscape features, command abilities or realm spells

Scoring

Painting and army list scoring.

• 15TPs – army painted to minimum standard
• 5TPs – extra effort applied (above average bases, freehand, higher technical standard etc)
• 10TPs – army is cohesive
• 5TPs – army list submitted on registration
• 5TPs – army list is legal and in correct format

Competitive play scoring.

• Major Victory – 14
• Minor – 10
• Draw – 7
• Minor – 4
• Major Loss – 0

• Destroying 1000pts of your opponent’s army – 1 TP
• Losing less than 1000pts of your starting army – 1 TP

To calculate kill points you did the following:

• The points value of all units destroyed
• The points of any warscroll battalion in which all units have been destroyed
• The points value of any endless spell or prayer model from your opponent’s army not on the table at end of the game.
• If your opponent purchased a command point and you have destroyed their general, then you also score the 50pts spent on the command point.

Hidden agenda scoring:

• Agenda Triumph rules are not in play
• Players select two agendas per game after set-up is complete but before the first battle round
• Once both players have picked, the agendas are revealed
• You can only use each agenda once per event
• 1 TP for each agenda completed
• 1 TP for each mission your opponent did not complete.
• Making a pool of 4 points available to both players. So if you achieve both missions and your opponent achieves both missions then you would score 2 points each, however if you score both missions and your opponent fails both their missions then you would score 4

The FHGT Champion is the player with the most “Tournament Points”, if two people are tied then these factors will be considered in this order until a winner is determined.

• Kill points TP’s > Agenda points > Strength of Schedule > kill points

Sportsmanship scoring:

• There are 15 TPS available
• Receiving 1 Best Opponent Nomination +5 TPS
• Receiving 2 or more Best Opponent nominations +5 TPS
• Winning the Best Opponent award +5 TPS
• Receiving 1 Complaints* – 10 TPS
• Receiving 2 Complaints* – 50 TPS
• Receiving 3 Complaints* – Disqualification

Players will nominate the two players they had the most fun playing against during the event and the player with the most votes will win the Facehammer GT Herald award. In the event of a tie it will go to the player who had the most tournament points.
