Return to the Old World 1K tournament in Helsinki

This weekend we had a great Tournament in Helsinki, Finland, in which my armies got placed second and third places. I played dwarfs and my brother chorfs. His list was really hard hitting and efficient, so I thought why not share it here with some photos!

He got two massacres against Lizardmen and Chaos, but was massacred once in turn when Bretonnia managed to beat his Bigboss with magic.

Iron Daemon, Bigboss and the blorcs went through absolutely everything, and the wolf riders would screen or wipe up after them. Chorf infantry protected the flank with drilled. Amazing utility.

Excellent photos! I like that list too - it looks very functional.

As an aside, has it been easy to find 1,000 point matches in your area?

Very nice! That’s a cool little list, quite effective!

Just to point it out, since the latest FAQ a Black Orc Bigboss has to select magic items from the Orcs & Goblins army list, so he can no longer take the Mask of the Furnace. But Trollhide Trousers are more than a good substitute.

Aye, 1k games are the easiest to arrange due to them taking less space/time. Also, not many have yet had the time to rebase / paint everything. So, this September we go 1,5k and in December full 2k (tournaments I mean).

Aye, the trollhide trousers are ridiculous…
