The Throne of Chaos: Fun References and Allusions

While flying to and from Phoenix last week, I read the new Warhammer Forge book Tamurkhan. While I am still writing my review of the book, I thought it would be fun to post a couple of the fun references and allusions in the book.

SPOILERS

1. Cathay: There is a cool story about a Chaos warband attacking a Cathay outpost.
2. Fimir: There are allusions to them during one part of the story.

1000 Points Lietpold the Black (The Empire) List

This is my draft list for the PM edition of the Adepticon 1000 point tournament. This is list is designed to use Lietpold the Black as my only character and his rule that allows me to include one core choice from either the Brettonian, Ogre Kingdoms, or Dwarves book. The general idea is that everything has Movement 7 and every model with the exception of Lietpold (which is a breathtaking FW model) will be a conversion.

Lord Choice
Lietpold the Black - 245 points

Core
Knightly Order (9) w/ full command and Steel Banner - 267 points
Ogre Ironguts (6) w/ musician, standard bearer, and Banner of Swiftness - 293 points

Special
Knightly Order (5) w/ great weapons, full command, Inner Circle, and Banner of Eternal Flaming - 180 points

1000 Points Legion of Azeroth (Chaos Dwarves) List

This is my draft list for the AM edition of Adepticon's 1000 point tournament. My goal with the army is to design it sit back and shoot until the enemy gets close enough that I am forced to engage in close combat. I am avoiding hobgoblins (too many models) or K'daai (no models and too difficult for me to convert), but cannot settle on which warmachines to include to the army. Once I deduct for the Infernal Guard and Daemonsmith (which are set choices for me), I am left with ~467 points.

Hero
Daemonsmith Sorcerer (general) w/ dispel scroll [Lore of Metal] - 120 points
Infernal Castellan w/ Standard Bearer - 130 points

Core
Infernal Guard (18) w/ full cmd, Banner of Swiftness & Fireglaives - 413 points

Special
Magma Cannon w/ Hellbound - 170 points
Death Shrieker Rockets w/ Hellbound - 125 points

When it comes to other choices, the Hellcannon and Dreadquake are both >200 points, but could add a huge punch to the army. Hellbound makes the warmachine's attacks magical and increases the number of wounds on the artillery, but it also suffers d3 wounds for each misfire.

Invasion Kenosha IV Update

Based on feedback from this year's event, I am exploring whether or not to return Invasion Kenosha back into a Warhammer Fantasy only convention. If that were to be the case, the schedule of events would look like such.


Friday
1600 point Storm of Magic Tournament (3 rounds, 8 player flights)

Saturday
2000 point Singles Tournament (4 rounds)


Sunday
2400 point Team Tournament (3 rounds, 2 players per team, 1200 points per player, no lords)


Entry Costs

The price of everything is rising and as much as I hate to raise the cost of entry, I believe I will need to do such for next year. As of right now, I am estimating this would be the cost for entry into each tournament.



1600 Point Storm of Magic Tournament - $10.00 per player

2000 Point Standard Tournament - $20.00 per player

2400 Point Team Tournament - $30.00 per team

All Weekend Pass - $40.00 per player (includes entry into all three tournaments)



As always, I am open to ideas and feedback. I am looking to announce the official schedule and registration dates in late December, so there is still plenty of time to become involved and have a voice in making Invasion Kenosha IV the best convention in Southeast Wisconsin.
