Wheel of Chaos has kicked off. Hold on to your butts as the CLPOMB is coming at yah. Or can those blodge elves navigate the field and dominate?
Besure to check out the WoC and see how the action breaks down.
Now I did not see Nurglet or Chuck VS in the field. Could be an oversight. But if they did not show does that open up the field to any ones game?
Lets have some fun guys and get the discussions going. |

I believe Chuck is sitting this one out; they've been pretty badly beaten up (1680 TV) and RO has been away for two weeks or something now. |

Looks like you get a dirt round look at some burgle cpomb action but you get to have a wizard, Painstate. (= |

Interesting. The teams in the Favored of Slaanesh qualifier are fighting for the coveted prehensile tail. Well, coveted by someone I'm sure. Anyway, there are no Chaos or Chaos Dwarves in this qualifier. Instead, the Qualifier is Plagued by multiple clans of Dwarves! I didn't know there were that many Dwarves IN the Box. The two Clawpombing teams in the Qualifer are going to have their hands full dealing with the Beardlings. There are a couple of Nurgle teams, but I wouldn't call them standard Clawpomb fare. |

Distingsquished Gentlemen, Nurgle, 1840k vs. Inglorius Followers, Human, 1920k
I might run some matches through my predict-o-matron later on and pull up some odds for the betting tables later. Meanwhile, some statistics;
The Highest TV Team: Weirdly enough, it was woodies that had the highest TV, at 2430k for Survival in the Box
The Lowest Underdog: The lowest TV in the whole tournament again goes to woodies, with the tiny 1170k team Speed(B)all 2 being the biggest underdog in total.
Race Roundup:
Nurgle: 13
Dwarves: 11
Chaos: 8
Orcs: 8
Chaos Dwarves: 7
Necromantic: 7
Dark Elves: 6
Skaven: 6
High Elves: 5
Wood Elves: 5
Human: 4
Lizardmen: 4
Undead: 4
Vampires: 4
Pro Elves: 3
Amazon: 2
Chaos Pact: 2
Khemri: 2
Underworld: 2
Goblins: 1
Norse: 1
Ogres: 1
Slann: 1
Halflings: 0
And going by the lowest TV in each Favoured qualifier, apparently from most to least popular:
Slaneesh, Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle
So either everyone *really* loves prehensile tail, frenzy wasn't nearly as popular as I thought it would be, or everyone just metagamed the crap out of this tournament and ended up with tons of applicants to one of the worse prizes |

I'm not joking, I'm not even pulling these figures out of my arse, I have a spreadsheet and everything!
Gino, just for you, I plugged everything in and got 1.26 to 1 against for the Tigers. |

Personally I just went for the fluff option, because they are obviously followers of Slaanesh. Although, a hot tail makes diving tackle look good. |

Heh its clawpomb CDs then dorf if my orcs somehow make it thru then!
Lots of dorfs in the tzeench one. Here I thought dorfs were rigid and opposed to change!
Whats up with all the nurgle heretics in the tzeentch one btw?!
Since Im a fluff guy I had to add some to my teams bio.
Underappreciated song IMO. |

Can't speak for anyone else, but this is what I did
The funny thing is, I was thinking 'well who might actually want Prehensil Tail', and I thought of Stonetroll and his various positional teams, and sure enough, if I manage to win my first match, I may meet Stonetroll's positional Dwarves next |

Same for me... who would want frenzy if there are so many other cool skills to get. But that was because I didn't think that i could make it with 144TV. So here we go to my first major game! |

Are you going to calculate the rest of the games? I just wondered if I was the biggest underdog |
