![]() The food is pub fare (burgers, sandwiches, dirty fries etc), but Bugman's has definitely had a refurb since I last came. There was an event on, so my friends and I decided to eat at Bugman's first before the crowds of players descended and packed the tables. I previously reviewed Warhammer World last year after my first visit - I've returned a year later and enjoyed it a lot more this time! I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I was impressed and would go back again if my son wants to do another visit. A fantastic all British company success story that has world wide appeal and shows no sign of slowing down. Plenty of room, tons to see and marvel at and packed full of enthusiastic folk. Oh and the nosh is not half bad at Bugmans Bar - with a very D&D and every Fantasy pub you've ever imagined vibe to boot. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful, the place is extremely well laid out, the Exhibition is truly impressive and the open gaming area in the "castle courtyard" is busy and fascinating. Beware - very easy to spend waaay too much if you are into this hobby! For the old RPG gamer who used to buy White Dwarf in the 80s and saw Warhammer at the start but never got into that side of gaming, this was also a fantastic place to visit. So with 8 wins between 4 of us (one in a mirror) we were pretty much spot on where we should have been – it’s a shame we didn’t do better, but given the number of stats now available – not surprising.For the Warhammer fan, this is a no brainer, must visit at least once place - literally everything the GW table top gamer requires in one place. It shows Gitz hovering below 40% (actually 37% in the overall stats – putting them last), and not bad meta-representation at 3% (putting them in the middle of the pack). With 8 wins from 4 players across 20 games we all struggled a little, but it’s always worth looking at this in perspective and to do that I turn to Honest Wargamer Stats: The Honest Wargames / T-Sports Network Stats! In 3 cases the Loonboss on Mangler Squig was the chosen as General, with only me breaking the pattern! Conclusions! We all took Boingrot Bounders, and three took the Ally – Marshcrawler Sloggoth (from Kruleboyz). There’s a lot of Squigs here with big units of Squigs (36,36, & 24) being used in the three of the lists. This army was interesting because of the 2 Mangler Squigs, not seen in the other lists, but he still has much of the units in the other lists. Having had a reasonable day 1 by Gitz standards, Stephen was unfortunate to meet two Soulblight Gravelords and not managing to grab the second win. ![]() 4th Git – Stephen McMullen – 70th – LWLLL He did it the hard way though, and no accusations of submarining would stick here. They may have let him down in the last three games though, as he couldn’t manage to sneak that mythical 3rd win for Gitz. Matthew set Twitter & WhatsApp alight with 2 wins from 2, with his Colossal Squigs not seen in any of the other three lists. – Artefacts of Power: Syari Screamersquig – Command Traits: Envoy of the Overbounder Strangely the mass damage of the two super-casters didn’t do too much damage to the army, because there’s no small single link! 3rd Git – Matthew Ashworth – 54th – WWLLL ![]() I’ll do short descriptions of each of my games, but beating Seraphon & LRL was certainly a good result especially with Kroak and Teclis present. – Command Trait: Envoy of the Overbounder Beating Seraphon, Slyvaneth and of course Gitz Roald did it the hard way beating two of the good armies in the tournament scene. His Loonboss on Mangler Squig is his general and it has some punch allowing Roald a good chance at the Battle Tactic ‘This One’s Mine’. Roald took a mix of squigs with some Shootas to give extra Battleline units. – Artefact: Arcane Tome (Universal Artefact) – Lore of the Moonclans: The Hand of Gork The Gitz community had hoped for a book this year, but as that seems unlikely this information may be useful to Gitz players! Top Git! – Roald Hansen – 26th Place – WLLWW ![]() I’ve already done Big Waaagh at Quest for Champions, and as I’ve just been to Warhammer World with Gloomspite Gitz, it seems a perfect opportunity to look at Gloomspite Gitz. ![]() This is especially fun for armies not often in the Top Three, and hopefully gives you an idea of what else is available. We spend a lot of time and energy getting together the Top Three List for AoS, but I think sometimes its nice to talk about a certain book and see what people chose to use. ![]()
