I felt this gave me bodies to grab objectives, a couple of unbinds plus a host of support heroes to buff the dragon to insane levels… And with a couple of practice games against Dave’s filthy Stormcast list going well I decided that I had at least given the dragon a chance at surviving long enough to kill as much as possible! Slaughterpriest (Violent Urgency, Talisman of Blood, Killing Frenzy) The army is very much all eggs in one massive dragon shaped basket, and so needed some supporting buffs to make sure it at least made that first lethal charge and spilled as much blood for Khorne as possible! Third time lucky eh? I hit the books again and came up with something that might last longer than a single turn. Sadly, the Dragon didn’t do great, but she looked gorgeous and claimed skulls for Khorne – and let’s face it, what more do you need! While the Throne of Skulls is more casual than a GT I still wanted to have half a chance, so back to the drawing board I went and had a practice game against friend of the channel Craig Chesters! As you can see in our battle report, the dragon didnt last too long… With the event booked, the next question was which army to bring? That didn’t take very long to decide, mostly due to the Warhammer TV Twitch chat convincing me to do it! I had been lucky enough to receive Vorgaroth The Scarred from my wife for Christmas, and had managed to get it built and painted in about 2 weeks for a local 1 day event One of my Hobby Resolutions this year was to try and enter a GW tournament for each system, and so when I saw another Age of Sigmar Throne of Skulls was on the way I jumped at the chance to pick up a ticket! For those who dont know, the Throne of Skulls is a more casual event where the focus is on having fun games rather than a win at all costs mentality – A large chunk of the scoring comes from votes for favourite game and favourite army, meaning that you have just as much a chance to win it from having a pretty army and being a fun person to play against as you do for actually winning games of Warhammer! I now had a taste for the casual tournament scene and couldn’t wait to get to the next one! While I hadn’t placed very highly in either event, I had a brilliant time and really enjoyed myself, playing some brilliant games of Warhammer against some great opponents. Last year, myself and fellow Sprewer Jay decided to give the Throne of Skulls a try, and we had an awesome time – I had brought a pure Everchosen list, and even though I only won 2 games I had an amazing time! We followed this up later in the year with the Age of Sigmar doubles where me and Dave fought for the glory of Sprues and Brews, rolled some dice, met some great people and got absolutely battered by Rob Symes! Yes, we had an annual pilgrimage at Christmas to roll some dice and create some legends, but it had always been with the same group of people and the same lists. It’s crazy to me now that until last year I had never entered an official Games Workshop event! Warhammer World is a little over an hour away, but I had only been a handful of times.
