Waaghpaca Tourney Results...

[PsychosisPC]

Went to Waupaca to play one of the biggest events in Wisconsin, the Waaghpaca Warhammer Fantasy Tournament this past weekend, put on by Bear and the [not-so]Handsome Point Boys. Took my Khorne Demons to the tourney and scored a low 3 for composition, which meant one thing, Vampire Counts the bane of my army. 3 out of my 5 games over the two days were against the Vamps, and this time I won two of the three. Finished the weekend 2-2-1, with the second loss against an over the top skaven army that shocked and awed me. Finished in the top 5 which for me is very good, considering how bad a player I am, and tied for the largest margin of victory, which was 2990 in a 2000 pt tourney against a Vampire army that had a deathstar of Manfred, Vampire BSB, and large unit of Black Knights.

But I came away with best appearance or in this case 'da Snazziest boyz award and this funky trophy helmet..... a 1:1 Metal Orc Helmet Heres some pics of the trophy:







Much fun.

Congrats on the win, and nice lookin' trophy! curious though, what was shocking about the Skaven list?

[PsychosisPC]

It was the first time I had played against the new book, had really no idea what they had and could do, so it was one mistake after another for me.

He did have the screaming bell and 2 doomwheels, magic up the wazuu, lots of shooting, and the rotten 13 spell. Comp scored a 4, so I'm assuming it was pretty hard, made very short work of me.

Congrats on the win Psychosis, seems like the Skaven dude took full advantage of their new Army book, I've had a flick through it and I came to the conclusion that you could come up with some really cheesy lists using it.

That's one cool lookin' trophy you got there

[LordOfSkullz]

Ah sorry to hear once again, but at least you came out on top more or less! Win for the "good" guys

That is a snazzy looking trophy. Glad to hear you enjoyed the tourney.

I've had a flick through it and I came to the conclusion that you could come up with some really cheesy lists using it.

Yea the 13th spell is completely broken, I think its a 25 to cast, I had the 3 core. Before the game Mike Butcher told me about the 13 spell so I deployed two of my 3 heralds together and kept them all out of the core units. Had 1 unit of bloodletters with full command, he immediately targeted that unit in the 1st turn and eliminated them rolling five dies getting double 6s. Turn three he does it again on my unit of 10 bl's this time rolling a 26. The Heralds become a target for the death bomb of two doomwheels in a pincer move. Then all of the shooting of course is targeted at my BT, and then all of the crap the screaming bell does. By turn 6 I had nothing left. I definitely thought this army was broken as it did everything well, it reminded me of 40k powergaming. I think his comp score should have been a 1 or 2, but instead it was higher than mine, I chalk that up to Khorniphobia. Mine is broken just in one phase of the game: combat, you have good magic or shooting, its very beatable.

As to the trophies, I was thrilled to win this, almost won the shield also. He also made a huge choppa, shield, and scaled down bolt thrower...here's a link to the trophies: http://www.wwhfb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=922

Big congratz PsychosisPC! AWESOME TROPHY!!!


So out of curiousity, what was in your list? (since I'm a big tourney player)

[PsychosisPC]

Tourney was set at 2000 pts, with special characters allowed. I normally play the army with three heralds, since my comp was going to be a 3 no matter how I built the army, I decided I may as well take Skulltaker since I have it modeled on a jugger anyways.

My List
BT with AoK, Firestorm, Fury, scroll
Skulltaker on jugger
Herald on jugger, AoK, Firestorm
herald bsb on jugger, AoK, Banner of Unholy Victory
unit of 14 bl's full command
unit of 10 bl's with music
unit of 10 bls
unit of 5 fleshy
unit of 6 fleshy

I'm something like 3 and 4 against vampire counts in tourneys, 0-2 against dark elves in tourneys, 1-0 against dwarf gun lines. Seems like I go forever not playing then get into playing all kinds of tourneys.
