“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”
Jul 12th
So after FARCE not turning out as I’d hoped, despite having a fantastic day, the results were like playing Ogres in 7th edition all over again. I really thought those dark days were behind me. It was a long time since I’d been beaten in four games in a row (including the friendly game against Jay Saturday night).
So with Brocon around the corner, my reaction was that of any sensible gamer, “Daemons, I need Daemons”, but one glaring problem, Daemons would cost money so that ruled them out as an option. So it left me with the armies I’d amassed over the years, Tomb Kings – lots of chariots, archers and the likes, but didn’t think it could have been an option without the new toys. Secondly, Warriors of Chaos – My Tzeentch Horde, 100 Marauders, 40-60 Warriors depending on whether I wanted to include Chosen, again I decided against this, but this was more to do with my third option, Vampire Counts.
Well to be more accurate Ghouls, having received a Mantic Vampire army as a Christmas present I’d acquired some extra Ghouls along the way, in and about 110 of them to be honest. As I started reading through the army book, I knew these were the guys to take to war. Cheap Poison, loads of attacks, near complete control of the magic phase. So after a few practice games I settled on a list with maximum Ghouls, minimum everything else:
Vampire Lord – General – LV3 (Lore of Vampires) – The Flayed Hauberk – Talisman of Preservation – Helm of Commandment – Dark Acolyte – Forbidden Lore – Summon Ghouls
Vampire LV1 (Lore of Vampires) – BSB – Armour of Fortune – Black Periapt – Master of the Black Arts
Necromancer – Vanhel’s Danse Macabre- Dispel Scroll
Necromancer – Vanhel’s Danse Macabre – Power Stone
40 Crypt Ghouls
35 Crypt Ghouls
30 Crypt Ghouls
20 Skeleton Warriors FC
20 Grave Guard FC – The Banner of the Barrows
4 Cairn Wraiths
With the list decided I submitted it for Brocon and all was well.
Well so I thought, as I tried to get my Ghouls ready in time, I realised if current rumours are correct this would be the last fantasy tournament I’d be attending before an Ogre update, all going well and if Conclave II was at a similar time to last year, the ogre update would be tournament legal.
Having played through 7th edition and into 8th I surely couldn’t give up on Ogres at this stage, it just didn’t seem right, so I quickly wrote out my standard list and sent it Brocon to replace my filthy Vampire list.
As Brocon quickly approaches my Ogres step once more and perhaps finally as the bottom tier army in to the breach, looking not to get beaten about the place. Although, there’s a saying in poker,” Look Around the Poker Table; If You Can’t See the Sucker, You’re It”. So I’ve looked at the sign up list so far for Brocon and I can’t seem to find the Bunny!
Should I be worried?
