TheBeninator Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Hello everyone, I am posting this event for the TO. This will be the second event that he has run, last year was fantastic. This event is new player friendly. Last year when I went I got to play my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ever games ever at the event and it was a great time. Most of my opponents also could count the number of games they had played on 1 hand. If you don't have an army, nor the time to put one together but are interested, I highly recommend using the paper proxies: https://ordinarygaming.blogspot.com/p/warmaster-counters.html . We hold no judgement to proxy armies, and if you find that you like the game, there are a few of us who can help 3D print an army for you if that's what you are interested in. The actual event posting is on Facebook through the Warmaster GW group (you have to answer some questions to be admitted to the group). Otherwise I have added all the tournament detail in the snippit below. If you have any questions or want to try the game out prior to going to a 3 game event, LMK and we can have a little learning game. Quote SUNDAY, MARCH 26, 2023 AT 9 AM – 6 PM Introduction.

AndrewW Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 I was at last year's tournament and it was a lot of fun. The company was unbeatable. I intend on going again this year. I've let @offroadfury know that I am coming 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Interested in this. I did notice though that the builder is not matching the rulebook. For example, the builder lists of crown of command as 100pts, but the rulebook has it listed for 70. Seems a few magic items are mis-costed. Does the builder trump the rulebook?

Looks like you are probably using the "Warmaster Armies" tab instead of the "Warmaster Revolution" tab 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 okay, that is better...still not 100%...but better. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 If there is any conflict, the WMR rules 2.0 and WMR Armies 1.23.1 Developmental, available on wm-revolution.com, will dominate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Is there anything out there that clearly states the option rules being used? I'm having trouble finding all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 No, I saw the list, but I'm not finding the actual rules that are affected. For example, in the book, in the artillery section, there are no optional rule boxes. Yet there is apparently an artillery line of sight optional rule. I've read thru the section, as well as the general shooting section and can find no optional rule for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Artillery Line of Sight : Woods, Hills and Build-Up Areas block line of sight to artillery positioned on a hill." There is some weird issue with the rulebook, this rule is actually hidden behind a picture on page 79. They had to redo the rulebook recently to take out GW images, so this must have happened then. I'll ask around and see if it's being addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 This is obviously just a result of the fan-made rulebook trying to match the official GW rulebooks in terms of quality and proofreading. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they just need to charge $50 for the PDF and it'll be like an official GW product! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 The Warmaster Compendium was heavily overhauled after Games Workshop issued a Cease and Desist order to the Warmaster Rules Committee. The volunteers obviously missed something. Warmaster Podcast episode 178 (March 3, 2023) covers the changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHAN!!!!!! I ordered a bunch of Vampire Counts from Excellent Minis. Prints had awesome detail and were printed with a super durable resin. Only complaint would be that they shipped still attached to the supports, which took a bit of time to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 anyone interested in trading or selling? I've got some extras I'm sure and wouldn't mind getting a few units here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
