AoS WhW Grand Tournament Heat One Overview

Great report! Thank you for the write ups!

I would be curious to know what types of armies placed higher than you did. From my limited tournament viewing I always see a very disproportionate number of Ogors and Sylvaneth armies. Just curious.

As to the chameleon skinks. Keep in mind that you can make them disappear later on and reappear somewhere else on the battlefield. You can use this trick to force the opponent to dedicate resources to trying to kill them, and then make them poof and reappear somewhere else they are needed.

I think that Chameleon skinks act like a blot toad in that you gain a lot of board control with them. When the opponent doesnt know where they may creep up, they have to play around that unknown, which could be worth more in itself than the damage output.

Beastclaws, Sylvaneth and various chaos armies (usually with 3-6 stormfiends and 20-40 bloodletters)
 
On that note, Ogres and Chaos have really been the top armies in recent memory. Probably because of their popularity.

pretty much the armies with broken units in them, yes they are!
 
Do you have any experience facing 3-6 Stormfiends. I imagine that unit is fairly frustrating to face. You build a list with a bunch of synergy and interesting tactics and then they just pick 6 models that can tunnel and kill almost anything. That's a pretty simple way of looking at it, but it's somewhat true.

Not much you can do, especially in small games. Your best hope is getting a couple of cheap units to put around the rest of your army in rings (some people call it castle-ing up) they have to be 9 inches away from your nearest unit so with a meat shield or two can protect your better units then counter attack. Carnosaur bloodroar really comes in handy against units like that, first time i did it killed 1 stormfiend and the bloodroar made another 3 run away!
