Battle of the Burning Skies
So I’m biting the bullet and diving into my first tournament since 1999….. Yes I’m that old.
I’m attending the Battle of the Burning Skies in Northamptonshire on 26th March. Tickets for which are available here. The tournament has been organised jointly between the fantastic peeps at both Savage Hammer Gaming and Greetings from the Warp.
It’s a 2,000 point the day event of AoS.
I’m a little rusty with AoS having only played one game against my A.I. ruleset in 3rd. One game in 2nd and a few in the first edition. Time to get some practice in.
I own three armies for AoS, Cities of Sigmar, Kharadron Overlords and Kruleboyz. I’m going to go with Kruleboyz as they’re probably the most competitive out of the three and I don’t want to be spanked in every game by taking my pure old school Dispossessed list.
So my list?
Well this is my first draft after some consultation with @rightangle79. And will in all likelihood get changed as the tournament draws closer.

War in the Heartlands – Day 2 Summary
So it’s come to a close, War in the Heartlands touted by many present to be the best Age of Sigmar tournament this year.

There are a number of prizes on offer over the course of the day as well, with awards going to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place as well as most sporting player and best painted army. They’ll also be a wooden spoon prize!
