However, the comment about better whiskers needs to be addressed, so you can definitely count me pre-registered for any Karak Eight Peaks tournament, and grudge match you for the first game. <br /><br />Be sure to bring your "corner sweet castle" embroidery with you, and I will be happy to add it and your sneaky whiskers add to the "To smite with hammer" list.<br /><br />*ahem*<br /><br />Axe grinding aside, would a Karak Eight Peaks tournament be feasible? There are at least six dwarf players, but are there enough skaven and O&G players? I can only recall you, Allan Hughes and James for skaven, then Neil and Jeff for O&G.

Other Dwarf players have sold up/shelved their armies and moved on to other (dare I say, more attractive) Warhammer armies. And this hasn't involved the use of 1080 etc. <br /><br />However in the Manawatu we have a hotbed of Dwarf activity (as an aside I hope the Bucketheads have read the NZTC pack and know they can only bring one Dwarf army per team). Things will need to be done to bring Palmy back into the mainstream - well as much as can feasibly be achieved. There is obviously an evil in that place that is running unchecked. <br /><br />Perhaps we need to resurrect the Karak Eight Peaks campaign to beat it out of them.

ItP was nice, though with rerollable Ld10 Fear was unlikely to have been an issue.<br /><br />We did misplay the Nightshroud effect on the Longbeards charge; I checked the Vampire book and it's "...lose all Strength bonuses conferred from normal and magical weapons", so the Longbeards should have been S5 if in contact on the turn they charged (+1S bonus not based on weapons, rather on innate Dwarf awesomeness). <br /><br />I don't think it would have made too much of a difference though.
