WTC 2019

So the event of the year has come and gone. I'm honestly quite pleased with how I did this year, getting an adequate 4-2 personal record and delivering my team to the best result our country has ever achieved!

Deadweight

Today I just wanted to share with you how not to play a Kraken when facing a caster with Deadweight. I happend to face two of them with my Skarre 3 list and failed to properly account for it.

Cryx goes to the WTC

I know there haven't been any posts lately, because I've been busy with things besides playing games. Don't worry, I got a couple of games lined up this week, but in this post I wanted to talk about the biggest thing of the year: the World Team Championship. Lists have been made public and there's lots of interesting Cryx lists, so I would like to go over them and give my thoughts.

…and make it double

As was foretold, here is the second installment of my experiences this past weekend. This was a 12-player Steamroller with 4 rounds.

Prepare for trouble…

I know it's been quiet for a while, but I promise to make it up to you. Because this week, I don't have one, but two event reports for you. I had 2 Steamrollers planned for last weekend, so I will spread those out over 2 posts of which this one is the first.

All work and no play (almost)

I was hosting a tournament of my own over the weekend. We were an even number, so I didn't want to create byes by adding myself to the roster. Not to mention that it's actually a lot less stressful to organize an event when you're not playing in it.

Guildmachine Warball

Last weekend saw a delegation of my WTC team going to a relatively small (new) convention in Germany. The War Room update dropped on Friday, so all the events on Saturday and Sunday were going to be with the new rules and themes; excellent WTC practice.

Cryx Theme Apocapalooza! (updated)

We finally got some juicy spoilers for the post-Oblivion Cryx themes, so I thought now might be a good time to write a post about it. For those that don't know, basically Privateer Press is revamping the way themes work. Instead of gaining 1 free of slot for taking X points of Y, you will get 1 Requisition point per 25 points of game size, which can then be spent on taking free options. This means that, when playing a 75-point game, you will get 3 of these Requisition points, which would be like most people are building lists now. The difference is that we're no longer limited to taking X of Y, but can freely mix and match whatever we feel works best in any given list and still get some free stuff out of it.

Games!

Last weekend, we had a Warmachine get-together with a bunch of people and I managed to grind out 3 games, so I figured I might as well log my performance.

4-round Steamroller

Had another tournament last weekend. Honestly, I went in with low expectations, partly because Skarre 3 has been taking some punches lately and also because some pretty great players would be there, but in the end I can say I'm very happy with how I did.
