I attempted the frenzy one turn score, which had him worried, but a pitch invasion and only having 8 players scuppered me. A nice chain push would have opened up his cage if a beastman had been removed from the pitch, but wasn’t quite to be, so instead I fully committed and trusted in the dice, leading to the mess below.Ģ-3 turns of really tight BB followed, including the ball popping loosed, but eventually I ran out of useful players, and with a nice hand off he was able to score in his turn 8. Uphill struggle time!īeing on the back foot, I decided that aggression was required.
He showed his wrath by howling with pleasure as the minotaur’s blitz sent my big guy to the dead box. I displeased Khorne early on by taking a both down with my Bloodspawn where we both had block instead of taking a pow, because the follow up would have taken me next to his minotaur. I was against SteAirey’s Chaos Chosen, so it was always going to be a ruck.
This took us into the main room after the random first round (bottom tables are in a second room with a fantastic view, due to the expansion) and up against the ECBBL Blackshirts, a team from one of the UK’s most competitive leagues. Luckily the rest of the team won, so a solid 3.5 – 0.5 win in the first round. The inevitable failed pick up and scatter off the pitch delivered the ball, and I strolled in for the draw. Went in 1-0 down, but then the dice took pity on me as the rain started to come down and the kick off scattered next to the sideline. A spectacularly frustrating first half led to me putting my grumpy face on, with no armour breaks and a 1 in 81 turnover as I attempted to surf his Leader, one of the few players I’d be able to surf. 12 players, 3 rerolls, no apo.įirst game was against Yersinia (NAF)/PorterSorter (Twitter) and his Imperial Nobility, the nemesis of Khorne with all the Fend and Stand Firm.
I was using my Impact Siringit as proxies for “The Khorne of Africa”, with a block Bloodspawn, 2 Block and 2 Guard Seekers, Extra Arms Khorngor and 2 Block linemen. Round 1 was against CLAW, gamers from the frozen North (relative to us). The Swindon and Wiltshire BB League (SAWBBL) team was made up of myself (Khorne), Ronalbeanio (Orcs), Bogenhafen_Bron (Black Orcs) and Barnacles (Chaos Chosen).
Pipey’s flagship event is one of the stars of the UK calendar, and many of the people attending had not been to an event since the last one two years ago, or attending a tabletop event for the first time. The day dawned bright, clear and cold in York as over 300 gamers convened in York University’s Exhibition Centre for the expanded UK Team Challenge (not Championship, I’ve just found out).
