Goldcon 2024 – New Edition Shenanigans

Anyone following this blog will know that I have been playing Age of Sigmar for a while now, and I’d like to think I achieved some measure of success in the game’s third edition. But with the release of Age of Sigmar 4th Ed its time to learn the new game and see it plays […]

Entry into Shatterpoint

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. Well a couple of weekends ago at a semi-local game store I played my first tournament of Star Wars Shatterpoint. I had a good time, caught up with old friends, and learnt a lot, and figured that as my first foray into the wider tournament […]

The World Championships of Warhammer

So, how do you sum up an event like the World Championships of Warhammer? I had a fantastic time there, and I definitely want to do it justice, so this is going to be a challenge. No a challenge compared to the road to get there, and the quality of my opponents there, but a […]

Road to the World Champs – Part 2

So, it’s been over a month since I wrote an article for this series, and my original plan was fortnightly. So we are going quite well so far. But I have done an absolute mass of painting, and dealing with a few non-hobby things that have popped up (my real life and job got in […]

Too Much Polishing – Burning out at Goldcon!

For anyone who doesn’t know (and you should really know, I won’t shut up about it), I’m going to the World Championships for Age of Sigmar in November. And I want to do quite well, so the pressure is on for me to practice and train so I can compete at the highest level I […]

Road to the World Champs – Part 1

Hello, my name is Henry, and I am lucky enough to be going to the Age of Sigmar World Championships in November. When I say lucky enough, there are two distinct parts to that.  Firstly, Australia was only given 5 golden tickets (to my knowledge), so they were always going to be hotly contested. I […]

Is it a Meatgrinder or Woodchipper?

Last weekend (May 6th and 7th), I took my Sylvaneth to their first two-day event, the Mango Meatgrinder. Held in Brisbane, the Mango Mafia boys were running this as a charity event for The Animal Welfare League, and overall they managed to raise over $3,500 for them, so the tournament was definitely a success. I […]

Call to Glory 2023

In late January, I attended an Age of Sigmar tournament. Now that isn’t too noteworthy, but this event was Call to Glory 2023. As far as I know, it is the largest Age of Sigmar event in the southern hemisphere, with over 200 players registered! I had an absolute blast of weekend, so decided to […]

WTC 2022 – Final Thoughts

What a weekend! I’m struggling to put into words how to wrap up the excellent adventure that these guys have been on. Some of the teams have been planning this trip since 2019, and to end up winning the entire event is a fantastic achievement! I am very dissappointed that I wasn’t able to be […]

WTC 2022 – End of an Era: Remembering Mark 3

This article was originally meant to be a look into what the players thought may be changed in the future as Warmachine naturally evolved and new metas emerged. It was initially going to discuss what balance changes were upcoming or which factions would be getting some new models. But, Privateer Press’s announcement of an entirely […]
