I want to discuss the next big event I plan to attend. It is
approximately 2 months out and I need to plan for it to get everything painted
in time. Today I plan to discuss the
event and lists I plan on bringing.
The Warmaster’s 40K Challenge is located in Waterloo,
Ontario, Canada. It is only about a 3 hour drive and is the largest Warhamer
tournament in Canada. They run 2 events a year; a Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer
40K event. Since I have not played Fantasy for several years, I have never attended
their fantasy event but I have been to the
40K event several times. I have been to a lot of tournaments over my gaming
career, but I believe this is best
run event I ever been to. It not biggest, it does not have all crazy
display boards like the AdeptiCon team event, but it has all things that make a
great event. Let tell you about the
event.
The event takes place over two days. On Saturday they run a
2 person team event. Each person brings 1000 points each and they play 4 rounds
with straightforward easy to understand missions. At end of that day they award
several prizes for the team event. Sunday is the singles completion. You play
another 4 games at 1600 points. I love
this format because you get a lot of games in on one weekend. Even with all the
games the atmosphere is very relaxed. Maybe it is the people, or the fact the
tournament organizers bring in food and drink so you don’t have to travel to
find some. It could be the beer*. After
the singles event they give out some more prizes for that event. The cool thing
about this event is they take the combined score of team and singles events and
give out a Forgeworld prize. This is one of the coolest things about the event.
This year’s Foreworld prize is Angron primarch of the World Eaters!
Disclaimer note: the beer in
Canada has a higher alcohol content so every time you drink a beer in Canada it
like drinking 2 in the US.

anyone is interested. You won’t regret if you go!

Let’s get down to what I plan
on bringing.
My
list for the 1000 point team
Farseer
On Jetbike with Shard of Anaris and Singing Spear
Warlock
on bike with singing spear
9x
Windrider Jetbike Squad
6x
Rangers
8x
Dire avengers
In
Wave Serpent with Scatter Laser and Holofield
WraithKnight
Total 1000 points
That is my list. I need to
get some practice games in, but overall it a good list to start with. In
looking at player packet; 3 out of 4 preliminary missions they posted are
objective based. That is why I have a lot of fast moving scoring units. I am perfectly
fine going second with this list. The wraithknight is good counter assault unit.
The only item I think I lacking is anti-flyer, but I thinking my partner will
be helping me out with that.

I think this is good overall
list. I am thinking there will be 3 objective missions, so troops will be key
at this event. I will do some play testing and see if I need to change anything.
What do you think?
I have always heard good things about this event. My driver's license is up for renewal this year and I plan on getting the enhanced license so that i can start going to Canada again. I hope to make the trip up north next year.
