Final Thoughts from our Spotlight Players

That is some interrsting looking terrain.
Thanks, I will be building a new table and terrain for our next event on 11-4-16 Holy Wars: Holy Havoc. Check out @HolyWarsGT and @HolyHammerHern on twitter to see WIPs shots.
Looking forward to seeing how this plays out, heard a lot about this on the Garagehammer podcast.
Hopefully Dave will invite me back 🙂
Woo- Hoo! Looking forward to this! I don’t care what the naysayers say……. I have a blast every time I play this game… ” ONLY THE FAITHFUL! “
Great terrain, great tournament. Wish I were there!
Great looking stuff – hope everyone has fun
Great coverage ladies, looks like a blast! I got to say that Sand Portal is quite possibly one of the best pieces of terrain I have seen in a long time. So simple but so dynamic and eye-catching at the same time. I really love terrain that doesn’t take attention away from the miniatures, yet still gives the battlefield a strong narrative and that piece nails it!
Love the Holy Wars coverage!!
It was really great to have BoW there just so blown away they would wanted to cover our event.
I wish I could go again this year but thanks for providing the coverage on this live blog and pics on Twitter. Hope everyone has a blast and when I’m home I absolutely want to come back next year. My shield is a permanent part of the dwarf table terrain it appears;)
As always, gorgeous tables and models and the variety in scenarios makes this tournament to notch. Wonderful group of players. Grats to Steve and his crew and I look forward to watching the coverage from overseas.
Ahem, go duardin!
Kenny, hopefully your shield got packed! I expect you to be at our next event on 11-4-16 Holy Wars: Holy Havoc.
I’m actually very tempted to get into this game….. 😉 Awesome live blog!
Thaat Chaos army wit the mammoth is just insanely good… wow
The minis and terrain is really cool, but it also really looks like a nice place with many cool people. I love this kind of events, especially if there’s a great community involved.
Great reporting as usual guys, I do like the armies and terrain setups. Can’t wait to catch up on the next instalment.
Great reporting, great tables, great terrain…. What more can we ask for. Well done
those tables look awesome
Thanks I plan to build a new table for our next event. Should be really different.
Awesome terrain and great painting, thanks!
Just goes to show AoS can work fine as long as you add some form of army selection rules and scenarios.
Always enjoy these live updates and it is especially cool to see AoS being played in a competitive environment. I look forward to more updates!
Having an awesome time with the event. This is everything I’ve been looking for in a war game.
Thanks! Was great having you there.
This makes me tempted to get a starter army and try some.
The terrain is pretty good. The blood god one is crazy gory. Who thought that Corn could be so vicious!! ..er… oh yea.. Khorne.
Good terrain always makes things look thematic and the above pics prove my point well.
The more I come back to see the progress during the day the more impressed I am with the staggering variation in the armies. I have never been a fan of Warhammer so when it went through the huge conversation into AoS it kind of passed me by. Seeing the huge amount of fun and character in these armies and the bizarre battlefields has actually made me wonder if I should give AoS a second look.
I know a few peeps at this. Wish I could have made it
Our next event is 11-4-16 Holy Wars: Holy Havoc, AoS Team Event.
Terrain and Scenarios look awesome.
Man I whish I coluld make terrain like that and had the space to store it.
