RUNEFANG II - WHFB Tournament for New Zealand members

#1 Post by Kiwi »

Runefang II will be held this year on the weekend of 16/17 May at the Khandallah Scout Hall in Khandallah, Wellington

The event will be organized by Hagen Kerr (on behalf of DBM Enterprises) and he will also act as Umpire.

The aim of Runefang is to encourage participation in the Warhammer hobby. To that end, the Battle/Comp/Sports components have been set to encourage new or rookie players, as well as encourage more seasoned Warhammer veterans to field units they may not normally use.

Special Characters may not be used, however it is perfectly reasonable for you to use the model to portray a normal Lord/Hero of that type.

While it is preferred, it is not mandatory that armies are painted.

Details are as follows:

Points: 2250 points

Armies: All current Army Books up to/including Lizardmen. Dogs of War and Chaos Dwarves will use relevant pdfs. No BotB lists, Lustria or Storm of Chaos

Rounds: Five Rounds (3 Saturday, 2 Sunday). Event including Prizegiving finished by 4pm Sunday

Scoring: Gameplay (40%), Composition – by independent panel (30%), Sports - checklist(30%)

Painting: There will be a Beauty Pageant to determine Best Painted Army

Cost: $30 (by March 31), $40 (from 1 April)

A Players’ Pack will be available from 10 March. Should you wish to receive a copy please email Hagen.Kerr@xtra.co.nz

Interesting! If I

1) lived in the right part of the country
2) had any spare time
3) knew the current rules
4) had a painted army
5) had any skill at the game whatsoever

I'd be there in a flash. :wink:

But I hope that those of you for whom these five points aren't an issue have a lot of fun!

Been talking to him heaps via email :) Finding out what he would score nagatively and so forth, so bringing a combined arms force, combat characters, one Radient Gem and Lvl2 mage so not trying to dominate any specific phase but should be able to compete in most (thats assuming I dont change my mind and go with Ogres afterall!)

Also bringing a mate down for it (Vamps but a soft list).

Hmmm so my Lvl 4 Archmage, Lvl 2 Dragon Mage and PG with Banner of Sorcery may be a bit too dominant in the magic phase?

Pity as it works well - i just posted v3 of my list in the Army Lists section, let me know what you think

3 of the same special choice may be considered a bit of a power list (especially being SM!) so I would just flick Hagen the list and get his opinion, with the Archmage and Dragonmage + banner of sorc you may also get a hit, without the banner maybe not...again ask for his call on that as well.
