NiCon Fantasy Lists

The lists for NiCon have been released and you can download them here

A quick race breakdown:

Wood Elves 7
Skaven 4
Warriors of Chaos 3
Lizardmen 3
Vampire Counts 3
Ogres 3
High Elves 2
Empire 2
Dark Elves 2
Chaos Dwarfs 2
Tomb Kings 1
Orcs & Goblins 1
Bretonnians 1
Daemons of Chaos 1
Dwarfs 1

So all the races sans Beastmen. Very pleasing so see that all but one person has decided to act responsibly and not take Dwarfs.

Seven Wood Elves!!!! Tree-hugging is alive and well in Auckland, it appears. Imagine what would happen if they got a new book!

There are some interesting builds there.

For the record I'm taking Skaven - and the first thing I checked - there are no Puppets listed in the WoC lists!

  1. Chaos Warrior to Chaos Lord "Excuse me sir, I can't help noticing that you're about to turn into a rat and I would just love to take your place". Somewhere a little Horned Rat cries.

    1. I'm pretty sure it doesn't say that in my rulebook. Still we have ways of getting to R-A-T

    1. More likely Tomb Kings....I understand that they are easily abused. Just takes a little creative thought.....and 90 archers :-)

  3. Bit of a shame that the Puppets banned. Skaven get away scot free, like they do in every comp system ever, in the history of the world.

    Will be interesting to see how all the Woodies place anyway!

  4. Painting up an extra 50-80 rats for my opponents.

    It would be great if the Umpire hadn't shafted the 13th Spell :-)

    Still we'll work with what we've been given. Needs must.

    How come Warriors get away with everything?

  5. My opinion coloured slightly by Dan IF'ng 13th twice in turn 1 at TWO. Eurgggh.

    1. It's called cutting your cloth to fit the pattern Sam. Essentially I have alternated Ogres-Rats all year. Aim is to get both RHQ Icons by year end - just to destroy the dreams of Locky and Dan. Small things like that amuse me.

    2. My Icon is elsewhere... I'd say the main thing stopping you from getting even more icons is lack of tournaments to accrue points :D
