Hey all, a very quick post with the results of the Sheffield Slaughter 2019, the longest-running UK Warhammer event, going 22 years and counting. Pete and Ady of the Dragon Slayers put on a great event, attended by over 70 players and with a strong prevalence of new Skaven and Flesh-Eater Courts.

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.

Sheffield Slaughter 2019 Gallery
A selection of pictures from the event.
Love the coverage and the pictures but why is there no picture of the winning army?
The simple answer is because I’ve done this report from the other side of the world and there wasn’t a picture of the winning army that I could find on Twitter 🙂
