Friends, you must check out this new Youtube Channel: UniGeo Studio. A man and his son have made an incredible battle report with custom graphics, marvelously painted models, and the whole thing is somehow only 16 minutes long. I am so looking forward to more.

Rolltop Realms has started a video series based on Glenn Dean’s narrative campaign rules! Check out “The Heart of Kurnoth Spitewood Campaign Part 1” here and watch a video battle report with cool custom terrain and the narrative rules from Spent Glory. Super cool to see this come to life.

Events/Organized Play

Frontline Gaming’s Cherokee Open in North Carolina happened on February 20th, and Brandon Huss took first place with Spiteclaw’s Swarm!?!? and ES/PP. I feel like I’m in a time warp back to 2018, and Skritch is headed to Worlds!

Agents of Sigmar’s Pre-Clash Clash Wrapped up on 2/21, and first place went to Laura Bates with Blood of the Bull ES/PP. Second place was Connor Lamb using Zondara’s Gravebreakers PP/DS. Both of these two are headed to the World Championships, and it’s awesome to see yet more underrepresented warband success. Daniel Davies even rounded out the podium with Knives of the Crone! We’re in a brand new meta, folks.
Here’s Laura’s writeup of her victory, and here’s Jon Grant’s rundown of his experience with Blackpowder’s BACC
