Next weekend is NiCon in the Hawkes Bay. This event moves around the North Island, last year being in Auckland. There it drew a very respectable field of 34 and I was lucky enough to win it with my Skaven.
This year - being in a smaller locale - it has drawn a much smaller field. Currently there are 12 players signed up for the event. I'm going up as part of a holiday with my wife, her sister and brother-in-law so adopted a pretty relaxed approach to the event. Over the past three months I've been painting Daemons and so I've built a list out of my most recent additions.
Lord of Change - Level 4 (Metal), Greater Gift, 2x Lesser Gift
Herald of Tzeentch - Level 2 (Tzeentch), BSB
20 Pink Horrors - Full Command
15 Pink Horrors - Standard
10 Pink Horrors - Standard, Gleaming Pennant
4 Beasts of Nurgle

I've had a few practice games with the list and I am starting to get my head around it. It is very chaotic and sometimes you just have to accept what the dice throw up.
Double cannons Pete, a bit cheesy isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI can only assume you'll finally start to embrace the castle formation with those two buggers on the table?
lol
Two cannons but three less scrolls than your Dwarfs :-)
DeleteEight more levels of magic but.
DeleteWe'll swap you for the three scrolls....
hows the burning chariot turning out, it seemed a little underwhelming for its points on paper
ReplyDeleteYes to date it has been. I really haven't got my head around it as it struggles with no march rule.
DeleteAlso shot three times for two misfires and a Str 1 :-)
However I love how my painted model came out
pics?
DeleteIt surprisingly robust and puts out 9 str 4 attacks each round. Problem is it has no armour bar a 5+ rerolleable 1 ward save.
