CanCon 2019: Destruction Lists

CanCon

Hey all, today is the day of the Doom and Darkness Destruction List Review show for CanCon 2019. CanCon is the largest Age of Sigmar tournament in the world so far, with 220 players from across Australia, New Zealand and USA.

Today, Doom is joined by the Loonking himself, Donal Taylor – the world’s most infamous Gloomspite player – and Vincent Venturella, community figurehead, painter extraordinaire, games developer and all round legend.

You can watch the Doom and Darkness Destruction List Review for CanCon 2019 here and check out the Order and Death List Reviews too.

And while, you are watching, here are all the CanCon Destruction Lists for 2019.

Tasman Cup 2019 – Team NZ vs Team Australia

Tasman Cup

Hey all, today I have a preview of the Tasman Cup 2019 – an international team event between teams from New Zealand and Australia. The event has been resurrected from the days of Warhammer Fantasy to be played as a preview to Call to Glory at CanCon (the world’s biggest Age of Sigmar event).

In this post, I”ll cover the rules of the event, team selection, lists and introduce the players. You can follow along all the coverage at @AoS_Shorts on Twitter, the guys’ Twitter accounts below and possibly on The Honest Wargamer Twitch stream (if we can get the logistics sorted). At a personal level, I’m really looking forward to catching up with the Aussies before CanCon.

And just before we dive into it, the site is now partnered with Dark Fantastic Mills. DFM produces amazing 3D printed terrain and you can use the code “AoS Shorts” to get a further 10% off and support the site.  The terrain is super light so shipping worldwide is surprisingly cheap. Check out the Doomcap Deeps range for things suitable mushroom-inspired and DFM have special offers on now.

Tasman Cup 2019 – the Rules

The Tasman Cup 2019 will be held on Friday 25 January – the day before Cancon – at the awesome Jolt Games (http://www.joltgames.com.au/) from 4-7pm.  Great 8” tables, excellent terrain and air-conditioned.  This will be followed by a pub dinner and a few drinks.

Charles Black (@ChuckSigmar) kindly volunteered to run the event, arrange a trophy and coordinate preparations. Good on ya Chuck!

Tasman Cup 2019 Team Selection

Team selection was rather laid back for the first running of the event under Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

  • Team New Zealand is just the guys travelling from New Zealand for the event that wanted to participate. No further criteria was applied.
  • Team Australia appears to be based on who is in Canberra on the Friday and who can shit-talk about the kiwis the most.

In no way are the teams intended to be representative of ETC teams or the community at large. So we don’t have to have that debate 😉

Tasman Cup 2019 Rules

The rules pack is simple as it intended to be a warm-up for the players for CanCon:

  • Players are using their CanCon lists
  • CanCon rules for scenarios and realms (see pack and scenarios)
  • 5 players from each country
  • each player plays 1 game only
  • match-ups will be randomly drawn a week in advance (future years will return to a more sophisticated match-up process)
  • Table 1 will be same scenario and realm rules as Game 1 from Cancon, Table 2 same as Game 2 and so on.
  • A major win will be worth 3 points, a minor win will be worth 2 points and a draw will be worth 0
  • The team with the most number of points will be the winner. No tie breakers. In case of a draw Australia retain the Tasman Cup.

Team Australia

So who are the random bunch of Aussies intending to put the Kiwis in their place?

Anthony Magro – Gloomspite Gitz

Anthony Magro, the AoS Coach, YouTuber, Australian Masters commentator and doyenne of the Sydney Age of Sigmar scene. Anthony travels the world for Warhammer, loves his dog and his Free Peoples. 2019 is the year of the Gitz for him.

Team New Zealand Age of Sigmar

Team New Zealand (or the bunch of blokes travelling to Cancon and keen to take on the Aussies) are:

Daniel Street – Sylvaneth

I spend far more time talking about Warhammer Age of Sigmar than playing at the moment, so am definitely making up the numbers. I’ll be relying on theory hammer, borrowed knowledge from the UK masters and shit talk to get me through the event.

Fraser Baker – Nurgle

Fraser Baker, the man best able to perform on the top tables of New Zealand events still drunk and without sleep (7th in the 2018 rankings). Fraser has been pushing Nurgle around the table since Maggotkin came out so has plenty of experience with the Thicefold. Will the Aussies’ experience against the Thricefold count against us?

Shaun Bates – Stormcast

Shaun Bates, former New Zealand #1, 5th in 2018, and the best Stormcast player in the country. Shaun will be packing the Anvils, rather than Surecharge, and is always happy to talk about the New England Patriots or sports scores. He also has a podcast (Notorious Hammer) and a Grand Tournament (for any Aussies looking to travel).

Seth Cook – Gloomspite Gitz

Seth Cook is our resident American, ass-kicking librarian and master of Destruction. To say Seth is happy about the Gloomspite Gitz and its impact on his Spiderfang is an understatement. If worse comes to worse, I’m sure Seth can body-slam someone through a table.

Lee Wilmot – Sylvaneth

Lee is consistently the best Sylvaneth player in New Zealand, 4th in the rankings last year, and has an unhealthy obsession with ally options. If we can pull his attention away from his current flavour of the month, the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game, then we can definitely rely on him to smash face.

ETC 2019: Team England

ETC

The second team for the Age of Sigmar European Team Championships 2019 has been announced today – congratulations to Team England. In today’s post, I’ll briefly cover what the ETC is, the Team England selection process and profile the team members.  I’ll be covering all the ETC news, with each team selection, and covering the event as it happens.

For those, who don’t want to read the whole piece, Team England 2019 is:

You can also check out the Team USA announcement here.

What are the European Team Championships?

The European Team Championships is the World Cup of Warhammer with national teams from around the world competing in Warhammer Fantasy (before AoS) and Warhammer 40k, as well as The Ninth Age and Flames of War.  Age of Sigmar was run as a side-event in 2018 and is now growing to fully-fledged game system this year with 19 teams registered so far.

ETC 2019

Where and when is ETC 2019?

The ETC is held August 9-11 2019 in Novi Sad, Serbia.

ETC 2019

What is the format?

Teams of 6 players face off in a series of individual games each round, with a combined score determining the results of each round.  The event will be over 6 rounds to decide the overall winner.

The rules pack is currently being discussed, negotiated and voted on between the captains, coaches and representatives of the various teams.  The desire is to play the event as “out-of-the-box” as possible.

How was Team England selected?

Team England 2019 was decided by a selection committee of Tom Mawdsley, Chris Tomlin, Nigel Chorlton, Ady McWalter, and Paul Buckler.  All experienced tournament players and long-standing members of the English Warhammer scene.

Public applications were open from October 2018 for thirty days.

Rankings and tournament results were not the only criteria for selection.  But conduct, army flexibility, and play-style all featured in the selection process.  

Team England 2019

So, as announced at the beginning, Team England 2019 is:

  • Jack Armstrong
  • Russ Veal
  • Tony Moore
  • Les Martin
  • Darren Watson
  • Byron Orde
  • Tom Mawdsley (Non-playing Captain / Coach / Manager)

Now for a quick word from Tom Mawdsley as Captain:

“We had the opportunity to select a team that not only fit my mandate of being (in my opinion) the team that will absolutely go out and win the ETC, but also each player on the team has experience in International team events, I believe this experience is invaluable at an event such as the ETC. The team are all extremely flexible players, gentlemen on the table and will be amazing ambassadors for the country. There’s some real pedigree on the team, and i’m sure you’ll get behind the team throughout the year as we attend events and practice with armies that we might take to the ETC!”

Tom Mawdsley

Tom Mawdsley, Team England 2019 Non-playing Captain, Coach and Selector.  Tom has four ETC caps as selector, coach and player before under 7th and 8th edition Warhammer Fantasy.  Tom has been rocking the Daughters of Khaine for the last six months, with notable recent results being:

  • 1st at Element Games Grand Slam (52 players) with Daughters
  • 6th at Blood and Glory (166 players) with Daughters
  • 9th at Blood Tithe (76 players) with Kharadron Overlords

You can check out Tom’s thoughts on Daughters of Khaine on Warhammer TV here.

Jack Armstrong

A man who needs no introduction to the English tournament scene, Mr 400 himself, Jack Armstrong.  Jack is a long-standing member of Warhammer ETC teams past with several attendances during Warhammer Fantasy battle days.

Jack finished the 2018 season first in the UK rankings with a highly respectable 395.45 (out of 400).  His recent highlights include:

  • 1st at BOBO (86 players) with Stormcast Eternals
  • 1st at SCGT (100 players) with Order
  • 1st at Blood Tithe (76 players) with Stormcast Eternals
  • 4th at the London GT (66 players) with Seraphon
  • 1st at Facehammer GT (91 players) with Stormcast Eternals

If you are interested in Jack’s thoughts on team tournaments and list-building, you can check out his show with me here.

Russ Veal

Another man who needs little introduction, Russ “the Face” Veal has been to numerous ETCs, won the UK masters and is a member of the Facehammer podcast.  

With a lighter tournament year in 2018 than years past, Russ finished 14th in the rankings with Best in Race honours for Legion of Sacrament and Nighthaunt.  Russ notably won the Blood and Glory Championships with 166 players.

Tony Moore

Tony Moore, Master of Death and the Orange Hoodie, proud member of the Marauders, previous ETC team member, and avid tournament attendee. Tony finished the 2018 season 8th on the UK rankings with notable results being:

  • 1st at GW Heat 3 (88 players) with Disciples of Tzeentch
  • 9th at BOBO (86 players) with Daughters of Khaine
  • 4th at Element Games Grand Slam (52 players) with Grand Host of Nagash
  • 4th at Blood and Glory (166 players) with Grand Host of Nagash

Tony gave a Masterclass show for Tzeentch and list-building under AoS 1 here if you are interested.  He has also been a regular on Warhammer TV (his most recent show is here).

Les Martin

Les Martin, proud creator of the Les Martin™ Stormcast build, podcaster, prize-winning painter and bespectacled player of Order.  Les has mainly been running Idoneth Deepkin this year, but will we see a return to Stormcast Eternals or Sylvaneth for the event? (only time will tell).  

Picture supplied…

Les is making his ETC debut, after being in the England 6 Nations team for the last 2 years, performing extremely well in the role he was given both years.

Darren Watson

Darren Watson, UK AoS tournament dancing champion, ferocious list-writer, owner of the world’s best postal-themed army, and all-round nice guy.  The second ETC debutant in Team England. Darren had a great 2018 season, finishing 6th in the rankings running mainly Chaos (Blades of Khorne, Nurgle, Maggotkin of Nurgle etc).  Darren’s notable results were:

  • 1st at the London GT (66 players) with Maggotkin
  • 2nd at Blood Tithe (76 players) with Seraphon
  • 3rd at SCGT (100 players) with Maggotkin
  • 7th at BOBO (86 players) with Nurgle.

If you are interested in more from Darren, you can check out his AoS 1 Archaon Masterclass he wrote for the site.  Over 4,000 words of list-tech goodness.

Byron Orde

Finally, by no means least, we have the third ETC debutant, Byron Orde(r).  Byron is the face of Element Games, a pro-painter, lover of grey, and has shocked the world with fantastic results from seemingly a bundle of Order models just picked off a shelf.  Byron took 1st at the Games Workshop GT final in 2017 and has only built from there with consistent GT performances. Notable results for the 2018 season include:

  • 1st at GW Heat 1 (86 players) with Order
  • 4th at Blackout (94 players) with Order
  • 7th at EGGS (52 players) with Order

Australian Age of Sigmar Masters 2018

Australian Age of Sigmar Masters

Welcome to coverage of the Australian Age of Sigmar Masters 2018.  Yesterday was New Zealand, today is Australia.  The Australian Age of Sigmar scene is in amazing health at the moment with large, regular tournaments, a thriving club scene and the jewel in the Crown, Call to Glory at CanCon setting the bar with 220 players in January 2019.  Not only that, but the Aussies share great hobby all over Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and now Twitch.  Right, that’s enough of the hobby crush, on with the coverage.

The Australian Masters this year were held at Club Ashfield in Sydney on the 1st and 2nd of December.  The event was hosted by Clint Mallet, founder of the Heralds of War podcast and TO of Call to Glory at CanCon.

And just before we dive into it, the site is now partnered with Dark Fantastic Mills, producers and purveyors of amazing 3D printed terrain and you can use the code “aos shorts” to get 10% off.  The terrain is super light so shipping worldwide is surprisingly cheap.

Australian Age of Sigmar Rankings 2018

The Australian Age of Sigmar Rankings system is similar to others around the world.  The key points are:

  • Season: 1st November until 31st October the following year.
  • a minimum of 12 players and 3 rounds is required for an event to be included
  • a 40 player, 5 round event is required for the event to earn full points (I.e 100pts for first place)
  • Game sizes of 2000pts and up are eligible for rankings.

The rankings are overseen by a committee of volunteers from each of the states and territories with a significant Age of Sigmar scene.

The committee for 2019 is:

  • Clint Mallet – Queensland
  • Chris Welfare – New South Wales
  • Travis Cooper – Australian Capital Territory
  • Joel McGrath – Victoria
  • Michael Sale – South Australia

For the 2019 Season, the following is the criteria for a Masters invite:

  • This year the event will be 16 Players
  • The previous Master gets an automatic invitation
  • Then filling in from the top placed players in the AMPR up to the 16 places.

The rankings at the end of the 2018 season were:

Australian Age of Sigmar Masters – The Preview Show

Michael from the Doom & Darkness YouTube channel hosted an Australian Masters List Review show with Clint and Rob Symes from the Honest Wargamer.  The three dive into the lists, the first round match-ups and a whole load of background on the Australian Age of Sigmar scene.

LLV and the Honest Wargamer also did a pre-event breakdown of the lists compared to the global meta.

Australian Age of Sigmar Masters

If you’re interested in how the Australian Age of Sigmar scene has grown, despite the challenges of geography, I can highly recommend Clint’s show with Tim MacDivitt of the Mango Mafia on Competitive Age of Sigmar in Australia.  They cover the growth of the competitive scene, the explosion of events and event organisers, the Australian “Meta” and then look at where they think the scene will go in the future.

Episode Breakdown

The event was streamed over on the Heralds of War Twitch channel, in what I believe to be the first streamed Age of Sigmar event in Australia.

My apologies, for some reason I can’t seem to get the Twitch videos to embed.

New Zealand Age of Sigmar Masters 2018

NZ Masters

Hey all, we have now hit Age of Sigmar Masters season, where the best Age of Sigmar matched play gamers in countries and regions around the world battle it out for end of season honours.  This weekend saw the New Zealand, Australian and Northern (Scotland and North of England) Masters) held.  This report is on the New Zealand Masters with the pack, lists, results and all the coverage you need.

New Zealand Age of Sigmar Masters 2018

The New Zealand Age of Sigmar Masters are an invitation-only event held in late November/early December each year.  Players are invited based on their final standings in the New Zealand Age of Sigmar rankings.  Ranking points are awarded by a formula based on performance at events throughout the year.  The higher the placing and the larger the tournament field, the more points.  A player’s three best finises count for rankings.

This was how the rankings looked at the Masters cut-off.

Blood & Glory Age of Sigmar Championship 2018 Recap

Blood & Glory

Blood & Glory, one of the UK’s largest Warhammer conventions, was recently held over the weekend of 3 and 4 November 2018.  Over 400 gamers turned up to play Warhammer Age of Sigmar (whether in the 166 player Championship, smaller point events, or in the amazing event of Warhammer Achievements), Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Underworlds, Horus Heresy, Blood Bowl, Kill Team and more.  This post will cover the Blood and Glory Championship, but future posts will cover the smaller events and Warhammer Achievements.  Here you’ll find the Championship pack, pictures, coverage, awards, results, top lists and more.

Blood & Glory Age of Sigmar Championship

The Blood & Glory Age of Sigmar Championship was a five round, 2000 point matched play event of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.  You can read the full pack, but the key details were:

  • Terrain warscrolls were in use (for Games Workshop produced terrain), otherwise terrain effects were randomly generated
  • Any of the 18 Battleplans from the Core Rules and Generals Handbook could be played (the 5 selected plans were announced after registration)
  • Each round was played in a different Realm and used the Realm Magic, Realm Commands and Realmscape Features for that round (again, these were announced after registration)
  • The event also used Hidden Agenda secret objectives
  • 150 Battle Points were available – 30 for each Major Win, 25 for a Minor Win, 15 for a Draw, 5 for a Minor Loss and 0 for a Major Loss
  • Bonus Points were awarded for receiving a Vote for Best Opponent (10), receiving a vote for Best Army (10) and for turning your list in on time (10).  These bonus points were capped at 30.
  • You could score a maximum of 25 points for painting, based on a checklist which had 31 points available.
  • The winner was decided on overall score, followed by victory point difference, sports scores, painting score, and finally total kill points (if necessary).

The scenario and realm rules used were:

  • Game 1 – Relocation Orb in Aqshy (Every Step a League)
  • Game 2 – Escalation in Ghyran (Life Springs)
  • Game 3 – Total Commitment in Chamon (Rust Plague)
  • Game 4 – Star Strike in Ulgu (Shadow Realm)
  • Game 5 – Blood and Glory in Shyish (Life Leeaching)

Hey all, I’ve decided to start a new series of articles on the site comparing and contrasting top tournament lists from the most competitive Warhammer Age of Sigmar factions.  The aim is to provide analysis and a resource:

  • for new players – who want to know what the most common units used in top tournament lists; and
  • for experienced players – to consider the nuances and key differences of the lists, as well as to prepare for their next tournament.

So today I’ve added a page on the Top Legions of Nagash lists given that Legions of Nagash are currently the flavour of the month on the Age of Sigmar scene.  Check out the page here or click on the image below.

Legions of Nagash Lists

Let me know what you think of the series and what more details I should include.  I think Daughters of Khaine, Stormcast Eternals and Sylvaneth will be next on my list.
