| Post subject: | HQ's World Cup - 32 warbands - 150 points |
Introduction: HQ Gaming Club in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium) has a quite new, but very enthousiastic LotR/Hobbit community. We were watching GBHL Deadliest Warbands series and wanted to do something alike, but bigger. So we started tinkering about a 48 warbands, 'double elimination' tournament with 150 points warbands. We made 50+ warbands, trying to keep them as themed as possible. The results of that effort are in another topic on this forum. While we were discussing which 48 warbands we were going to keep, GBHL launched their World Cup series, which offered an answer to many of our problems: - we felt we didn't have 48 decent warbands, so now we could keep the 32 'best/most fun/themed' warbands - we didn't like the randomness of one unlucky game in the early stages, our 'double elimination' was a decent answer, but the group stages were an even better solution! So we're stealing GBHL's idea (thanks guys, respect!) but we're also trying to improve on their idea. Even though they only had to come up with 16 warbands, there were some really 'below par' warbands in there (Dunland, Fiefdoms, Durin's Folk) which felt like 'fillers'. We wanted 32 warbands with at least a decent shot at surviving the group stage. Rules for warband creation - 150 points warbands, not a point more - normal warband rules apply - at least 10 models in each warband (hero + 9 warriors) - no filth (Ferals, Watchers, Reavers ...) - only heroes can be mounted - regular warriors had to be 'infantry base', so no Half Trolls, Bat Swarms, Warg Marauders, monsters ... (we broke this rule for the "Wild Warg United" warband) We have already finalised the warbands, I'll post them below. We have performed a group draw, ensuring 2 evil and 2 good warbands ended up in each of the eight groups. I'll post the draw below. We also have made up an elimination table. I'll post it below. Community part As much as we'd love to, we simply don't have the time (or the ambition) to film, edit and publish all these games. But we'd love to keep everybody up to date! How can you be a part of this? Below, you'll find all warbands, the group draw and the elimination table. Knowing all warbands and the possible obstacles on their way to eternal glory, which four warbands do you expect to see in the semi-finals? We won't be playing the groups in the right order, we'll play them out as we get all models painted, so we can post the occasional picture of all games. We'll meet up with three friends (Masterfit and Dude are also registered users) and play all six games of a group in one evening. That way, we all get to play four out of six games in each group, randomly deciding who plays which warband at the start of each game. We have arranged our first evening in two weeks. I'll let the first community reactions come in for now and announce which group we'll be playing next week. At that point I'd like all of you to predict the outcome of the group (ranking all four warbands). Gentlemen, thank you for your attention so far. Now place your bets! |

So here are my four semi-finalists... Hunter Orcs Inc. - 13 models, 5 bows, all models have two attacks ... if they survive the (heavy) group stage, they'll go far. Lothlorien Lifetakers - I see a lot of strong warbands in groups 2, 3 and 4. Which leaves the second quarter of the elimination wide open for a surprise. That surprise might as well be a Fight 5, five bows warband. Haradrim Hellhounds - 7 (!) bows, 13 warriors, mounted hero. They'll need it to survive the early stages. Erebor Eagles - a long shot, based on them ending second in their group and ending up in an 'easier' low quarter of the table. |

I think this should be good. I have attached my thoughts on the matter. May I suggest a change on the easterlings behalf to make use of their pike block with a warband like this? Warband 1 10/12 (144pts) Easterling Captain with Easterling halberd; Shield; 3 Easterling Warrior with Shield; Pike; 3 Easterling Warrior with Shield; 2 Easterling Warrior with Bow; 2 Black Dragon Warrior with Shield; Pike; ---- what do you think? overall I think it'll be a Durins Destroyers vs Hunter Orc Inc. final. |

This Tuesday we will kick things off with group 4! Group 4 1. Wild Wargs United 2. Haradrim Hellhounds 3. Grimbolds Gang 4. Minas Tirith Trashers Time to get in your predictions. How do you think group 4 will play out? If you didn't post your four semi-finalists, now is the time to get in and do so. |

So here are my predicitions ... 1. Haradrim Hellhounds 2. Grimbolds Gang 3. Minas Tirith Trashers 4. Wild Wargs United All warriors in this group have Fight value 3. Games will probably be decided on shooting, spear support, the ability to shield, feint and piercing strike ... and Hero (s)kills. The Haradrim Hellhounds have the strongest shooting in this group, which means the other warbands will have to come at them. Poison arrows will cause some casualties, so Harad will have a numerous advantage when the lines clash. At that point Harad has enough Spear support and a mounted Hero with Warspear. --- They can't afford to lose too many fights in first round of combat though, because their D4 makes them very vulnerable. Grimbolds Gang and Minas Tirith are close for second place. I gave it to Grimbold and his gang based on their ability to outshoot both Minas Tirith and the Wild Wargs. Also their ST4 Warriors are wounding Minas Tirith on a 5+ and Harad & the Wargs on a 4+. Some well invested points there. --- They should be weary of opposing Spears though, trying to make as many 1 vs 1 combats. --- Grimbold is not too spectacular a hero, not sure if he'll be able to hold his ground against a mounted Harad Chieftain, a 3 Might Cirion and a Fight 5 Wild Warg Chieftain. Minas Tirith Trashers paid a lot of points for shields, bringing all warriors to D6. Which is bad when you get drawn in a group with two ST4 warbands and a shooting warband. Minas Tirith' complete lack of shooting also means they'll have to run into the opposing warbands. --- But if they manage to reach combat largely intact, their D6 should be big vs Harad and their Spears could make the difference vs Grimbolds Gang and the Wild Wargs. Cirion is the only 3 Might Hero in this group, that should count for something. Wild Wargs United is the underdog in this group. Only 10 models (Harad has 13, Rohan and Minas Tirith both have 12), no shooting, no spears, large bases, only D4 ... But they have some things going for them too. --- They have the only F5 hero in this group. The Wild Warg Chieftain could potentially inflict a lot of damage with his two ST6 attacks, but he needs to win all his combats. The high movement makes sure the opponents will get only two rounds of shooting before the lines clash and should also be strong in the first round of combat where the Wargs could potentially choose their fights, to hopefully inflict a lot af damage in that first round. That's my take on group 4. I am pretty confident placing Harad on top and the Wild Wargs in last place. Grimbolds Gang vs Minas Tirith Trashers is going to be a close call. Can you do better? - Da Great MC - |

Spot on mate. This will be the way things work out unless we have some crazy dice |

| Post subject: | UPDATE |
GROUP 4 Haradrim Hellhounds vs Wild Wargs United: it was quick, it was messy ... the Wild Wargs never stood a chance. Harad shooting made sure the Wargs were even more outnumbered by the time they reached the Haradrim. Grimbolds Gang vs Minas Tirith Trashers: the most tense game of the group! Some quick Rohan shooting + throwing spears set back Minas Tirith a few men when the lines clashed. Minas Tirith were down to Cirion and one warrior, they were on the brink of losing, but managed to break Rohan. At this point Minas Tirith got priority, charged Grimbold and all other Rohan Warriors promptly fled the field. Only Grimbold and Cirion remained, Grimbold managed to win two rounds of combat and took out Cirion. Haradrim Hellhounds vs Minas Tirith: Minas Tirith managed to cross the battlefield unscathed. At that point their D6 made all the difference. The mounted Haradrim Captain losing two cavalry charges, didn't help eithe. An unexpected Minas Tirith win! Grimbolds Gang vs Wild Wargs United: Grimbolds Gang took a relative easy win. Shooting forced the Wargs to make some disadvantageous charges and all went quickly downhill from there. Wild Wargs United vs Minas Tirith: the Wargs took maximum advantage out of their mobility. They waited to lose priority twice in a row and went in for some 2 vs 1 and 3 vs 1 charges. Their ST4 made a lot of difference too, some good dice rolling did the rest. Haradrim Hellhounds vs Grimbolds Gang: the group favourites were on the brink of elimination! But in this battle Harad really performed. The Haradrim Chieftain's cavalry charge proved to be devastating and Rohan never really recovered. Things got very tense when Rohan's last warriors managed a few surprise kills to break Harad, but the Chieftain was not to be denied and made Harad group stage winners. Final standings 1. Haradrim Hellhounds (2-1) 2. Grimbolds Gang (2-1) 3. Minas Tirith Trashers (1-2) 4. Wild Wargs United (1-2) Looking back ... What a great way to start the World Cup! We had some very tense games and all in all a superb evening of SBG. Playing out all six games took us just under three hours. Some matches really didn't play out the way we expected. Harad losing vs Minas Tirith and Minas Tirith losing vs Wild Wargs were two results we hadn't predicted. We had predicted a close finish between Grimbolds Gang and Minas Tirith Trashers and it went down to the wire. Both mightless captains were the only warriors remaning on the battlefield. Dice decided Grimbold would go on and win over Cirion and that turned out to be decisive for second place. - Da Great MC - |

| Post subject: | GROUP 5 |
GROUP 5 Eowyn's Royal Guard vs Moria Madness: a must-win game for Moria if they wanted to survive the group stage. However, shooting didn't do anything and once the lines clashed the superior fight value and defense of the Rohan made all the difference. Arwens Assassins vs Black Númenórean Nightmares: another game all about defense: the Elves had some shooting hits and won their fair share of combats but they needed 6's and couldn't find any. The Númenóreans on the other hand were able to faint all combats and wound on 5's, rerolling 1's. Arwen spent all three Will points on a Nature's Wrath but couldn't get a 4+. A shock victory for the group's underdog! Eowyn's Royal Guard vs Black Númenórean Nightmares: I fancied the Númenóreans' chances, but some early Rohan 6's made this a very uphill battle for Mordors servants. The Black Númenórean Marshall tried a desperation play heroic combatting into Eowyn (who was hiding behind the lines, keeping that all important bodyguard rule on the table) but when he lost the combat to Eowyn all was quickly over. Arwens Assassins vs Moria Madness: the Elves did what they were good at, causing some early shooting casualties. Moria had to cross the field and things looked grim for them. When the Elves went in for a devastating round of combat, Durburz managed to resist Arwens Nature's Wrath. The Goblins won priority for several turns in a row and Durburz and his gang trapped Arwen for consecutive turns, eventuelly killing her. The Elves did manage to win the round, but losing their Hero meant they were now on the brink of elimination. Moria Madness vs Black Númenórean Nightmares: Moria Madness, having lost twice, were playing for honour. The Black Númenóreans on the other hand had everything to play for! And so they did. They dodged all Prowler arrows and easily dispatched themselves of the Goblins in close combat. Moria had huge troubles charging in (Terror!), winning combats and wounding. A smooth victory for the Númenóreans, ensuring them a place on the elimination table. Even if Arwens Assassins won the last round vs Eowyns Royal Guard, the fact that Arwen died during a round they won, would eliminate them on tiebreakers ... so with everything decided and the hour being late, the last round wasn't played. FINAL STANDINGS 1. EOWYNS ROYAL GUARD (2-0) 2. BLACK NÚMENÓREAN NIGHTMARES (2-1) 3. ARWENS ASSASSINS (1-1) 4. MORIA MADNESS (0-3) Looking back ... Wow! What an upset! We had trouble predicting who'd come in first and second, but we were all sure of one thing: the Black Númenóreans wouldn't stand a chance of surviving the group stage. Not exactly how it turned out... Arwen and her Elves must be really disappointed. Fumbling that Nature's Wrath and not finding any 6's vs the Black númenóreans got them in big trouble. Watching Arwen die against the Moria hordes eliminated them after playing only two rounds. Some of us had predicted this warband in the semi-finals ... Durburz and his Moria Goblins didn't stand a chance in this group. Bad fight value, no shooting wounds, terror causing opponents ... We all concluded 150 points is too much for them to really shine. But they did spell the fate of Arwens Assassins, so at least they didn't go without a bang. Eowyn's Royal Guard won the group fairly easy, joing Grimbolds Gang in the 1/8 finals. Both Rohan warbands advance. Throwing Spears for the win, especially when Sean (Masterfit) is chucking the dice! The true heroes of the evening however, were the Black Númenórean Nightmares. A shock win vs Arwens Assassins and an easy victory over Moria Madness secured second place for them. This pits the Nightmares against Haradrim Hellhounds in the 1/8 finals. With this results, the first 1/8 final is known. I believe the Hellhounds were rooting for any warband to emerge from this group but the Númenoreans. Defense 6, fight value 4 and Terror are bad news for the Haradrim. Starting the evening as absolute underdogs in group 5, the Númenóreans ended the evening as slight favourites to reach the quarterfinals! - Da Great MC - |

If you are reading this .... We have enjoyed painting up our warbands. I'll link to the pictures as soon as Michiel (dude) posts them on his website. We have also massively enjoyed playing the first two groups! I even enjoyed writing all these introudctions, predictions and reports. Although finding the time to do so, hasn't always been easy. If you'd like me to continue writing about our World Cup campaign, please let me know. Write a comment! Throw in some predictions! Thank you

Great work so far guys! can't wait to see the painted models and some pics. What a great upset for Arwen's assassins, they were one of my person favs. I think with Black Númenórean Nightmares going through it could change the whole face of the competition. The terror in later rounds could see them go through quite far. Really surprised by Harad. Not a warband I thought looked very strong. Think they will really struggle in their next game. As for the next group; the dwarves are still my top spot. I think their high defence and all round decent stats will crush the competition. Be good to see the Blackshield's special rules come into effect however and could be surprising. |
