Lumineth Realm-Lords Review podcast with the playtesters.


On this latest episode of Bad Dice we are joined by 4 of the playtesting team to talk about the incoming Lumineth Realm-Lords army release.

We cover the highlights of the book, lists and combos.

Initial impressions

The first Talking point is our initial impressions of getting the army on the table.
How the units interact with each other. What jumps out as being top picks and the general feel of the faction rules as a whole.

There are many new Age of Sigmar mechanics in the book so we talk about making the most of those new rules and fitting all the tricks into a list.

New rules that we really like are;

  • a spell that causes an opponent to spend double command points.
  • fighting twice in a row.
  • automatically casting spells.
  • shooting without seeing a target.

Lists and Play style

All the guests on the show have been playing with this army and have an idea of what they want to use in games.
we talk about where the power in those lists come from and the combos that you can spring on your opponent.

Teclis is a clear favourite and we cover how to play with and against him.

Here are some of the lists we talked about on the episode.

Bad Dice Events – All ticket sales on hold.

Ben Curry News 0 Comment
Bad Dice Events – All ticket sales on hold.

Due to the global spread of COVID-19, and following the general advice from the UK Government and WHO, we have made the decision to postpone the ticket sale dates for the UK Masters and Blood and Glory.

We currently have no intention of cancelling or postponing these events, but feel that it would be irresponsible of us to sell tickets at a time when all the advice is to avoid gatherings and events.

Blood and Glory

Blood and Glory takes place in Nottingham on 9/10/11th October 2020 so there is plenty of time available to allow ticket saes to be pushed back.

The new ticket sales date for Blood and Glory 2020 will be Sunday 10th May. 

A full 5 months before the event and more than enough time for planning your trip.

If you wish to start your planning now, full details for the event can be found at bloodandglory.baddice.co.uk including hotel location and travel planning guides.

UK Masters

The UK Masters Knockout and Singles is held in Derby on 11/12th July 2020.

Tickets will go on sale Sunday 3rd May, 10 Weeks prior to the event.

Stay safe out there everyone!

Daughters of Khaine Work In Progress

Ben Curry Daily Episodes 0 Comment

It’s the Daughters of Khaine release weekend so I thought I would post about the things I am working on.

The never ending paint mission is on going. I’ve not finished a single unit yet and am having a wobble on the bases. I started with grey but might go with mud and snow to match me Darkling covens.

I think I’ve settled on my colour scheme of gold armour washed with Blood for the Blood god.

What is everyone else working on this weekend?

In addition to meeting the above requirements 10 points will be awarded for your army being a cohesive force and 10 points awarded if it does not contain any proxies. (A proxy is any model that is not the correct Games Workshop model for the warscroll)

The Master will be the player with the highest total score.
