Red Claw Gaming

Alrighty folks. It seems our last WHFB Campaign has fallen victim to Summer fever! With that in mind, I've decided to throw something different into the ring for our next campaign. The official rules will be posted closer to starting-date, but here are some of the more important specifics:

1. We will not be using the Mighty Empires tile-set. This will be a story-driven Campaign.
2. This league will run from August 18th through December 5th (no Christmas break = no league break-down)
3. We will be playing with 2000 point lists. Each Emperor/Warboss/Tyrant will be responsible for creating three 2000 point lists. The following must be kept in mind during their creation:
   * There are no "named" characters allowed. Period.
   * You are to create your own "named" characters. This is important, and will be clarified with the release of the official rules.
   * You are able to purchase magical items for your army as per usual.
   * Keep in mind that diversity may be key; don't create three identical lists. Also, each of these lists are independant; you cannot take a Hero from Army "A" and send him over to Army "B".
4. We will sweeten the pot with eight "Special Events", all occuring on Friday nights. These will range from squad-based combat skirmishes to individual Lord duels, so be prepared!
5. There will be six Banners (teams) that you will be able to join, depending on your army. These teams will be of like-minded empires & generals, working towards a common goal.
6. Turns will be 2 weeks each. At the end of the two weeks, we will tabulate the points for each banner, and that will dictate which direction the story goes. You are able to fight as many or as few battles as you wish/have time for in these two weeks; the more you win, the more glory to your banner.

That's about all I can reveal for now. Please use the survey below to enlist into the campaign. Unlike previous campaigns, this one will have no penalty for joining late; just pick a banner that your army is able to join, and hop in on the fun.

Look here for the complete rules soon!

Undisputed master of the 2nd turn massacre...wait a min...is this a good thing?

Depending on how much diversity is needed between armies 3 2000pt armies might be tough for me to do. Right now I have a Khorne based army and a Tzeench based one but they share quite a few models...

I am very interested however.

This time round, while we work all of the kinks out of the system (and rest assured, with it being a new system there are bound to be kinks) you should only play one army-type.

As to starting in September, no problem. That should be the nice part of this system...

Also keep in mind that daemons don't have magic items to purchase so the rules will have to balance that fact.

I think Tom was making that point only to clarify that there are not restrictions or special ways for acquiring Magic Items like in the last league.

Campaign rules generally treat "Character Upgrades" the same whether the Army Book calls them magic items, daemonic gifts, froofroo clownshoes, etc.

Either way, I think what he was saying is that there won't be any rules affecting it, just write a list straight out of the book as usual. =)

That's fine; you've got daemonic powers, just as the Vampires have Powers, Wood Elves have Spites & Ogres have Big Names... you just have to pay the points in accordance to the power/skill etc.

I was there today for a couple of hours. You were not so I guess you missed your chanse heh heh.
why was I at red claw when it was closed you may ask? Well let me tell you.
I was messing with my bike that wouldn't start for a couple hours last night until I took the bus home, then I came back today with my truck and trailer and discovered that my ramp is too short so the bike bottoms out when the front tire comes off the ramp and then it gets stuck. So I had fun. Oh yeah. Fun. That's what it it was. Fun alright.
I liked it so much I'm doing it again tomorrow.
