We are set for the very first Ordo Phoenicis Ascendentis Online Tournament.You can now register at the Ordo Phoenicis forum (at www.cardmasters.de). If you are a member, but cannot get access, send me a PM asap.
The tournament is going to start at 16:00 (GMT +1), which makes it a breakfast pasttime in the US. Please ask any questions in the Ordo Phoenicis forum.
If you know that you are going to be at GenCon - do not preorder any starters right now. Believe me, it will be much more worthwhile for both of us (me saving PayPal fees and bookkeeping hours, for example). We are going to have enough product at the show!
That being said, here are the remaining two deck lists (3rd and 4th placed): (more…)
It’s too hot here in Münster. When I type, it feels like the fingers stick to the keyboard. Disgusting.
Anyway, here are the two finalist’s deck lists.
In the new world of Thessyria, great evil has been worked. In their quest to find out where they are, what happened and how to survive, the armies of the Accordlands send their troops deep into a newly discovered Forgotten City. Their first encounter there is a mad Dwarf artificer, Loki, and his creations:
Dwarves appear to exist in the new world, but are they all evil? Have they forsaken their gods, to dabble in mystical arts? Stand the Free Kingdoms alone now against all the evils of two worlds?
The first Warlord 4E: Overlord Kit, O1: Into the Forgotten City of Thas-Lirith is going to distributed to qualifying stores and gaming clubs starting in August 2008. Loki will most likely become legal for tournament play 30 days after his release (i.e. September 14th, 2008). A list of all tournament legal 4E promo cards will be posted on this website shortly.
The Pre-Release week-end is over. 30+ degrees and a high humidity made it somewhat of a pain (air-conditioning is a bit rare over here, we don’t have many of those days).
The reception 4th Edition got was really great - with a turnout of 37 for the Sealed and 30 players for the Constructed tournament we are very much on the right track.
Congratulations go out to Jens Brouwer from Hamburg whose Krenthor Gouge won with the smallest possible margin against Marco Wellmann’s Thekk Rockbender. Krenthor absolutely dominated the semi-finals, with two additional ones piloted by Alexander Nowotni from Albstadt and Dietmar ‘Bubble’ Matthe from Bünde in it.
Just when you thought we were done with the Wizards, here are a few more tricks up their sleeves (or shrouds).
And of course Liches know some extra tricks:
Two more Merc characters, which completes the blue faction.
It is as if the empire shattering events in the Accordlands served at as signal for many a great evil to resurface, seemingly connected and coordinated with each other.
In the caves below Sharn Keep an evil thought vanquished arises, stronger than ever: The Favored of Bascaron.
This great evil will befall players both at the Warlord 4E pre-release this upcoming weekend in Münster, Germany as well as those daring to attend GenCon Aug 14th-17th in Indianapolis, USA. The price for doom is either an unsigned Dragon Lord or its equivalent, or 25.000 gp.
The Hive Mind Medusan Lord rules supersede the May only equip items with “Eyestalk in the title” card text. If you look closely at the terror (never recommended) even, you’ll see that indeed it does wear a helm. For challenges all 4E legal cards (i.e. the Ordo Phoenicis Ascendentis cards and Limited Wish) are legal for the purpose of this challenge. This Medusan Lord will not retire at 100 challenges.
Happy hunting!
Of course you have seen some, but you haven’t seen all.
