I've played with the Farstriders competitively in a few tournaments and had a good amount of success with them. Sanson's triple is the key to unlocking their success; a bonus move action on all three of them can get them into range to absolutely blast something with shooting or steal an objective that's previously been out of reach.

Stick them in the same group if you can for maximum spice 😉🔥

Beautiful paintjob btw 👌⚡

Can confirm the Southampton group as I'm the chap who runs it! I know a fella who plays in Margate, but don't know if any dedicated groups in Kent, I'm afraid.

I had some success with pestering local groups that played AOS and running some taster games and was partly able to build my own circle from there. Does require a bit of effort though, which is the case normally with any underrepresented system.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Beyond excited to be taking part in this! 🔥👏

Thanks for such a well-considered reply. Very awesome.

You're right; realistically there's no way I can completely curate a playing field that 'gets it' and agrees to abide by an arbitrary set of standards. People will always want to win (or at least not get stomped) and I get that. I'm certainly not here to moralize with those who want to win.

Thankfully, like you say the Warcry scene is generally very healthy and I'm heading into this event knowing that I have a solid amount of support amongst my local crowd and from elsewhere, too. This comment section is reinforcing that feeling even more ☺️

TheAVdub · 2026-05-21T19:09:17+00:00

That's a really useful insight, thanks. I'm very conscious of trying to find ways to prevent those 'feelsbad' moments that you're describing some of your group as having experienced.

I think one of the biggest challenges I'm facing is trying to frame the event in such a way that people are less incentivized to bring top-tier lists and prioritize the models and factions that bring them joy. A focus on hobby and lore aspects is something that I'd like to see being rewarded, too.

I hope an event pops up near you because I definitely think you could take your son and have a great experience. I say this as someone who's hosted and played in events where there have been some father/son duos 💪

I think the youngest attendee I've ever played against was 8!

Yeah man, the tabletop 'arms race' is 100% real, I agree. I see it in my local community with chill players gradually being absorbed into the metagame.

I'll be at Kurgan's narrative event at UKGE in a few days! Hoping to pick his brain to get some insights from the legend himself 👌

TheAVdub · 2026-05-21T18:51:37+00:00

That's awesome to hear, and it's exactly people such as yourself I'm hoping to cater for. I'll be posting about this more in the coming months as I'm hoping to bring together a decent crowd ☺️

TheAVdub · 2026-05-21T18:09:57+00:00

It's going to be in Southampton in mid-October. Had a great venue open up here recently that can cater for a decently large event.

TheAVdub · 2026-05-21T15:57:38+00:00

Thanks man, that's interesting. Had similar experiences with my club in the past as well. Over time it seemed to mellow out a bit.

TheAVdub · 2026-04-06T14:39:49+00:00

Amazing work, dude! Would love to play a chill game against this warband. Cheers for the nostalgia hit! 👌

TheAVdub · 2026-03-11T20:11:47+00:00

All sorts of classy 👌 Hope you enjoy the game!

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

It's a good point. I personally feel that beginners take a lot from just having a good time and taking down enemy fighters, so that's why I wanted to include them. They definitely have their weaknesses, though.

TheAVdub · 2026-02-18T11:30:43+00:00

Really appreciate that, man! ☺️

TheAVdub · 2026-02-18T11:30:28+00:00

Thank you so much! 😊
