It's all change for 2019 - I'm going out on the road and taking the Thousand Sons to their first tournament!
This tournament - Weekend at Burnie's (the organiser's name is Burn - my regular Dark Angel opponent) - is a 16-player invitational event, held at Bristol Independent Gaming, exclusive to Moarhammer patrons.
Its main selling point - aside from the opportunity to meet and throw dice with a bunch of hobby heroes - is that it is a narrative event. Which means strict restrictions to remove super-optimised lists (no named characters, no soup lists), and to help the dice tell the story, no Command Point re-rolls.
There was plenty of narrative build-up prior to the event (since the Moarhammer Discord is a busy place), and all entrants were required to submit something about their army.
I took the opportunity to add another spin to The Court of Miracles with my own submission: Tzeentch Laughs (999 words, naturally).
And this was the list I brought (nothing over the top, I thought - just a nice mix to show off the Thousand Sons to my opponents):
Points: 1500 | Battle-forged + Battalion + Outrider - Relic: 8 CPs
