TEMPEST CRUSADE: ULGU th st Sat 20 – Sun 21 January 2018 ARMY LISTS INTRO In the following pages you’ll see all 36 army lists due to play at Tempest this year. You’ll also see some added commentary from the Great and the Good (Bad) of Scottish Warhammer. Treat it firmly with the tongue in cheek, and all in the name of banter…… John – One of our DWARF overlords, Coach at Scotland’s successful AoS 6 Nations 2017 campaign, and TO for the 2018 one! He loves Trains, and Bretonnians (don’t mention the War…), and renting Rich’s armies. Just don’t let him pick any music. Ever. Calum – Scotland’s resident expert in Spoonery. What Calum doesn’t know about the lower reaches of tournament tables isn’t worth knowing. Partial to Tzeentch/Death at the moment. Mike – Mike’s a grumpy Dwarf player (stunties, not the Fifers) who still yearns for the ageless halls of Karaz-a-Karak. He also does nae bad with his Khorne at AoS (and soon the Stormcrutch!!) Expect puns galore from him in the coming pages………..if anyone can Mike Calla-ghan! Dave – Chief Accountant for Tempest. He has cast his beady eye over all the lists, and adds an English meta slant to the reviews at the end. Formerly of this parish, but now embedded down South. He owns, and paints, LOTs of armies. Now bathe in the goodness of the Listssss….

Nathan knows what he's doing with it too, so should do very well. Mike: Nathan is a famously awful person and this is proof. He’s experience as an awful human should see him please Tzeentch. John: Nathan is the reigning young upstart of AoS here in the grim cold north, having smashed up all comers at Northern Invasion. Clearly know what he’s doing with this list and is nice guy as well. I hate his smug face.

Could add the punch that this list otherwise lacks. Nice mix of units in here. Mike: This gives me PTSD. Nice to see Varanguard, but unfortunately I think the list will struggle. John: Rich is a nice guy and the actual antithesis of this list. In your face, full of anger and likely to scare some people (but not those using Stormbros, Clown Cars and Destiny Dice) Michael Hanns Allegiance: Nurgle Exalted Greater Daemon of Nurgle (500) - General Daemon Prince Of Nurgle (160) Festus The Leechlord (120) Plague Priest with Plague Censer (80) 30 x Plaguebearers Of Nurgle (270) 5 x Putrid Blightkings (180) 5 x Putrid Blightkings (180) 6 x Plague Drones Of Nurgle (440) 1 x Beasts Of Nurgle (60) Total: 1990 / 2000 Allies: 0 / 400 Calum: That Maggotkin book can't come soon enough eh Hanns?

Mike: Good to see Slaves to Darkness on the table. In the right hands definitely have potential. But not Greig’s. John: Oh I Sayl…. Michael is a month early with Nurgle, Greigs a year late with Sayl.

Don't ask me why. It's a thing.” Mike: The ever chosen Changehost. How well does Archie work with this? Let's find out. John: Lost track of Tzeentch armies, think I’ve reviewed this one already.
