I'm happy to present: The Official Annual T9A Masters: TG PLAY! @ The 9th Age

We proudly present the first official annual T9A Masters tournament ever! The event is being held on 11.-13 november 2016 in Herford, Germany.

After several weeks of preparation and planning you can now look forward to November 2016 to join the first T9A Masters either in the singles- or team-event with your friends.

We did our best to create a comfortable and truly enjoyable tournament environment. Full-board catering, sleeping accommodations at the outstanding venue, “Meet & Greet” with the T9A-crew, official support and much more!

Interested? Check our link http://www.the-ninth...m-single-event/ and SIGN IN as long as there are spots up for grabs!

Update: more then 200 players already entered the registration, about 10 spots left!

EDDITTED OP: Obviously this is the 2016 Masters :-)

It was booked full on very short notice, I think the singles event has a couple of spots open.

For me it was a hard call, cause november had several cool tournaments. This year I chose for a tournament called Bloodstorm, that emphasizes fun over power in lists and games. Example: teams are formed at the beginning of the tourmament by drawing marbles from a sack. I hope to join the next Master though!

Surely an interesting concept, and it could be even more intriguing, if you drew a new teammate every game.
Such a system would really emphasise on adaptations, which every general must have as a skill 😀

[Pellegrim]

Bloodstorm Tourny's are a lot of fun that way yes - think they host four per year again, now T9A is on a roll. Concerning switching in players between rounds: every round the teams will match versus a new team - so more then enough adeptation needed there. 

[Zidane_blade]

Dunno if it's more than enough, but it certainly will provide an unusual approach.

[Pellegrim]

Like underwater gaming

Or both hands tied behind your back.

I'll be building my 2.000 pts list for Bloodstorm the next days; it's gonna be a spin-off of Tha Red Wave http://www.bugmansbr...r-fury-madness/, but it's going to be a little nicer / more themed cause the Bloodstorm ethos is "fun & fluff" over "WAAC". Part two is my looking to get my hands on 20-sh Seeker models ... new or old. I'll open a new thread for this

I'll be at the Masters and I am not 100% sure if I will be using HE, SA or DH.

[Pellegrim]

Thats easy. Keep your beard and play DH. Save it, if you play anything else !

[Giladis]

Haha, considering the speed with which it grows it is not much of a choice 

[Pellegrim]

What kinda DH would you bring, if you were to play DH (going in the book of Grudges if you don't matie)?

[Giladis]

A traditional list.

 

King,Thane, Runic Master

35 Warriors, 2x10 Marksmen

2X Deep Watch, 2X King's Guard

Cannon, Organ, Flame

[Pellegrim]

Wow. Haven't seem such a list in a while (read ever). Interesting, and I can see it be tough to face. So no Seekers, bombers, Vengeance, Seekers, Busters...

I think another smith will be powerfull, providing a little more weight in magic, so easy buffs and getting more spells off?

[Giladis]

I agree another Smith would be good but I feel I do not want to break the balance of 1 character per unit.

 

As for not seeing such a traditional list in a while, all I can say is "Beardlings these days, bagh!"
