Element Games Grand Slam Round 1 Predictions

So this weekend all 4 of us are attending the Element Games Grand Slam up at the Northwest Gaming Centre in Stockport. You can hear about our lists in a show we recorded talking about the event here. Just for a bit of fun I thought I would make some round 1 predictions. These will be based mostly off of the lists and not the players behind them. As there are a lot of people at the event that are new to the Age of Sigmar scene or that I haven’t seen playing before.

The lists can be found here.

Grand Slam – Round 1 Draw

Painting Stormcast Eternals for my Order Army

Just a quick one today – this is where I’ve been putting my hobby time recently: I’ve been painting Stormcast Eternals for my order army! Mostly I have devoted my time to starting the slow and gradual process of NMMing (Non-Metallic-Metal) my Judicators. I’ve actually been stippling them – in a bastardisation of the techniques learned at the David Soper masterclass. The techy painting is really pushing me and I’m finding it quite difficult, as I’m learning my way round a new technique whilst trying to adapt it to ensure I don’t spend 20hours on each model! The aim here is 3hours or less for each ‘Battleline’ troop, maybe 4hours or less for fancier Paladins. I’ve also done a little more work on my Elf Mage/Battlemage Farseer conversion.

Kharadron Overlords Tactics: Sky Wardens & Endrinriggers!

Sky Wardens and Endrinriggers!

Sky Wardens and Endrinriggers!

Both Sky Wardens and Endrinriggers are the most versatile units you can take in a Kharadron Overlords army. With a fly movement of 12” these are some of the most manoeuvrable Kharadron Overlords units. They have access to decent range weaponry, such as the deadly Drill Cannons and Aethermatic volley guns. They also have some solid combat potential in the form of Aethermatic Saw blades and Sky Pikes. Thanks to the Hitchers special rule these units take up no space on the Sky Vessels. This makes them very strong for the “clown car” list. (see my article on this here!)

So… we’re blogging! About all things Warhammer!

FaceHammer are blogging!

Hello peeps, we’ve started blogging! Hopefully this can become your go-to place for FaceHammer flavoured updates on everything Age Of Sigmar! We’re going to be treating it much like FaceHammer’s Twitter but without a text limit :).

What can you expect to see here?

  • What we’re hobbying on currently
  • Event photos and feedback
  • Tactical insight into games we have played
  • List writing thoughts and discussions
  • Product reviews
  • All things Age of Sigmar related!

For my first post I thought I’d pick something very basic: my hobby corner! (It made me tidy as a hidden bonus..). Like a lot of you I have limited space to hobby in, and I often work at my desk too, so I’ve found a nice middle ground.
