Victory Clash - Rivals Tournament

Image
Introduction On Sunday the 23rd of February, I set off for the Victory Clash in Havant, a small town near Portsmouth in the South of England. This was to be a small local Rivals tournament that my friend Harry (aka Slippy) had told me about. For more Warhammer Underworlds Tournament report → Tournament Reports Preparation Up until now, in second edition, I have been playing the Emberwatch combined with Blazing Assault and Reckless Fury , but I have been wanting to try something new. For this tournament, I decided to use Cyreni's Razors with Countdown to Cataclysm  (C2C), both a deck and warband I had not really considered before. In the first edition, I played primarily with Lady Harrow's Mournflight, a quick, hard hitting but fragile warband. I like this style of play and have been looking for a warband that works in a similar way. My Razors In the week before the tournament, I went to my local club, in Redhill, to try-out/practise with the Razors. I played two games. ...

Cyreni of the Abyss [1], accompanied by her Spirit guardian, Cephanyr [2] and her two Namarti thralls, Renglaith [3] and Alathyrr [4] are searching for the souls need to save her race.

Borgit's Beastgrabbaz - Warband Review

Image
Introduction Borgit's Beastgrabbaz are the fifth Gloomspite Gitz warband to enter the Underworlds. This group of gitz is searching the Underworlds for Trugg, the Troggoth King. The warband is made up of Borgit Wolf-Killa (1), who leads the Beastgrabbaz. He is accompanied by Snagz (2), Hobblin' Dregg (3), Uglug (4) (a small Troggoth), and Rigg and Sham (5), who dress as a squig and lead Uglug around. Fighter Characteristics Borgit is the leader of the Beastgrabbaz. He has a solid set of characteristics with a Move of 3, a Save of 2 Block, 3 Health, and a Bounty of 2. His attack is Range 1, 2 Hammers, and 2 Damage with Crit Grievous. Upon inspiration, Borgit goes to Move 4 and 3 Hammers on his attack. This is an interesting profile, as, apart from the Health, his characteristics are similar to Ardorn from the Emberwatch. Ardorn is a highly effective fighter, suggesting Borgit will also be—albeit less resilient but with potentially a little more punch! Next up, we have the min...
