Another Death Guard batrep, this was also testing out the Border War mission being used in the club's upcoming EXETERminatus tournament in May.

Due to time constraints we played a 2k game. The main difference to the previous batrep is that the midline objectives were further apart, objectives were held before rallying and only one garrison was allowed per player.

The second batrep with the NetEA Death Guard 0.4.x list.

This was a more rounded list than the previous one, but was again trying out 'new' formations and units such as the Armoured Assault Company of Vindicators with a full set of Plague Hulks, Chosen with massed Chaos Spawn and Assault Dreadnoughts and also double Plague Zombie Infestations. We were also trying a variant scenario as a test for the upcoming Epic tournament in Exeter on May 20th, based on Border War from this thread.

Roughly speaking, the mission has four objectives which are scored at the end of every turn, based on the most unbroken units (not formations) within 15cm of that objective, with deeper than standard Deployment Zones. Due to slow play and an unusually busy club night we only managed two out of a planned three turns. 

Near objective: 1 point

Midline objectives: 2 points each

Furthest objective: 4 points

Paul took a fairly normal Speed Freeks list.

Table & Deployment

The first batrep with the NetEA Death Guard 0.4.1 list.

Particular effort was taken with the Death Guard list to try out updated units, new/updated formation upgrades and an army list of generally very slow formations.

The first batrep with the 0.3.3 release of the NetEA Death Guard list, playing against NetEA White Scars Marines.

Note that this post was put together semi-automatically from the notes made during the game - all the notes should show up if you are clicking through the larger images, but you'll need to dismiss the larger images to read the game result at the bottom of the page.

As part of this I'm keeping a closer track on what happens in my Epic games. Here's the first full batrep.

The 2016 Winter Challenge

Welcome to the first of the 2016 UK Masters qualifiers!

Saturday will be the first qualifying heat, with the highest-placing players going through the final in Birmingham in September.

Sunday will be a relaxed 150pt Doubles event with new players paired with experienced players, and prizes for silly stuff!

Unfortunately this will be my last tournament as sole TO for the foreseeable future, however organisation of future Challenge Series events will be taken over by the Exeter Inquisition club committee. The Challenge Series is dead, long live the Challenge Series!

The 2015 Autumn Challenge - Danger Zone

Newsflash - the Autumn Challenge has been cancelled.
