![]() ![]() We start out putting our two point tokens on opposite sides of the middle one, so from the start we know that middle one will be heavily contested and the game will likely be a bloodbath. Interestingly, these might have been the only “Gladestalker”-style units at all of ConVic, which ended up having a very different meta than our friends over the ocean. Lots of hitting power, solid defence and a little bit of reach from the Ice Kin Hunters. It’s basically a “Good Stuff” style list with a little bit of everything. Brendan’s Northern Alliance 1 x Huscarls (Troop) with Skirmisher’s Boots 1 x Huscarls (Regiment) 2 x Ice Kin Hunters (Regiment) 2 x Snow Trolls (Regiment) 1 x Snow Trolls (Horde) with Chalice of Wrath 1 x Frostfang Cavalry (Horde) with Brew of Haste 1 x Lord with Wings of Honeymaze 1 x Lord on Frostfang with Snow Fox, Blade of Slashing 1 x Snow Troll Prime I’ve played him a few times before, against his Salamanders, and always had great games, though this time he had brought his Northern Alliance. My first game was against Brendan, a member of the notorious Team Shed, and a regular at our Melbourne events. Now let’s get into those games! Round 1 – Scenario: Plunder Urr’s Varangur vs Brendan’s Northern Alliance As this is always done before choosing sides, it was never a sure thing that a player would get to use it. This turned out to be quite powerful, as hills could be moved into deployment zones. The other interesting addition was the ability for one player (roll-off determined) to move a single piece of terrain up to 6”. This was the first time we had encountered such a setup, but it did provide a refreshing change between days. The same faction had to be used for both days, but the army lists need not contain any of the same units. The tournament is across two days four games of 1,995 points on Day 1 and three games of 2,300 points on Day 2. ![]() This tournament attracted some of the best players from around Australia, with champions coming down from New South Wales and even Queensland (equivalent to taking a trip from Miami to Boston for the US folks). We were quite sure we had at least something halfway good, but the battles were not going to be easy. In this article, we will cover each of our games from Day 1, bringing to you the highs and lows of our grand tournament experience. We have spent the last 7 months preparing our totally new armies for this tournament, assembling, painting, multibasing and then playtesting our builds. ![]() G’day Goonhammer readers! We, Urr and Cytoplasm, finally participated in ConVic 2022, the biggest Kings of War tournament so far this year in Victoria, Australia. ![]()
