Quite fancy this one:

Iron Wrath I

Saturday July 30th 2011 at The Eye of the Storm in Mansfield – 4 games, Steamroller scoring with vps scored instead of Strength of Schedule as the sort mechanism.

There will be 3 games of 35pts and 1 game of 50pts. This is your chance to try out the new models shown in “Wrath”. So, models do not have to be painted as there are no soft scores in this event. You may proxy any of the models shown in Wrath, but please make sure it is as clear as possible for your opponent exactly what they are supposed to be! The idea is this is a bit of fun and gives everyone the chance to try out the new elements in Wrath “competitively”, rather than having to wait for them to come out.

The cost for the day, which includes a buffet lunch and prizes will be £10. Tickets are on sale here:

We are not using timed turns for this event, each game will last for a set time after which “dice down” will be called. As the end of each round approaches – only start another turn if there is enough time for both players to get an equal number of turns. If you start and dice down is called, shout me over and I will allow extra time to make sure the turns balance out. Please don’t abuse this leniency though!

Army construction:

As the main idea behind this event is to give players the chance to play with, and play against, the new elements of Wrath in a semi competitive environment I don’t want to put any unnecessary restrictions on the army composition, or on the number of casters you can field. So, you need to bring 1 – 3 x 35pt lists, with any combination of casters/units. There is no shared FA so you have the opportunity to try out different casters with the same units if you wish, or try a single caster with three different lists. It’s up to you.

In addition you will need a single 50pt list.

For the 35pt games, when you arrive at your table simply show your opponents all three lists, and chose which list you are going to use in the normal Steamroller manner. There is no requirement to use each list, nor is a list discarded once you use it.

Prize certificates for 1st, 2nd & 3rd will be awarded, as well as for the Fastest Caster Kill, and the fastest win by scenario. So be sure to yell out when your games end! Winners will also get Maelstrom Dollars.

It’s a bit of fun this one so please approach it with that frame of mind, and be patient with each other when faced with unfamiliar models.
