Today I received a “nerd” care package from the CEO of my company. Most won’t know but I’ve been pretty ill recently. Never did I except him to go out of his way and buy me some warhammer to take my mind off everything. Very lucky to work for the company that I do.
So the event is now over and the awards handed out. Obviously it didn't end how I wanted it to, but to come 3rd amongst 88 of the best AoS players in the world I am over the moon. With finishing on the top 8 this also means I have secured a spot for next year already!
So like that my World Championship is over. I dropped half way through the round against the Spoons LRL. I had a rough night and had to leave the table multiple times to sort myself out. Head just wasn't in it so did what was best for me at the time. Absolutely gutted. 😭
Popped up in a conversation today.
"Chess clocks are only received badly by your opponent if they know they are a slow player".
I personally would like to see chess clock section in tournament packs that if a player wants to play on a clock you have to.

When your model sister comes to Vegas to see you and has a photo shoot in a national park. You take every opportunity to show her how it’s done… more pictures to follow of Death Valley but wanted immediate on this first and foremost. I’m working that camera hard.
Just want to say a massive thanks to everyone that sent kind messages to me yesterday. I was absolutely gutted and down in the dumps for a while. But you all made me feel a lot better. Bloody love the AoS community. You the best. ❤️❤️❤️
And like that my LVO is over. Had a great game against Kaleb who played a great game. My dice abandoned me and took a narrow loss 25-24. Bloke was an absolute gent and routing for him to take it now! LVO, I will be back with a vengeance. Thanks
@oldtownthrowdo1
for a great event.
Great day 1 at LVO! Currently 3-0 going into day 2. Beating Stormcast & Fyreslayers to start the day, then had the pleasure to end it with Helon Teclis. Lost both sorcerer lords top of 1 which meant I have to push for the double. Won and managed to lift Teclis and 20 sentinels!
Just home from
@AosWorlds
. First I want to say a huge congratulations to
@AosDenmark
for being Crowned World Champions, the prep they put in was unreal and play some of the tightest warhammer I have ever seen. You did it the hard way and took out everyone! 1/6
After a brutal day today and ending the World Championships pool play with a 4-1. Losing to
@linkatit
and wins against
@MGouldesbrough
and Ogres. I've managed to make it into the championship bracket!
Let's fucking go!
Merry Christmas from the Marshall Household. With what’s becoming tradition we eat Chinese and play warhammer!! Got a big game lined up and the forces are nearly deployed… can slaves to darkness overcome the forces of order?! Player turn by turn to follow!!!

&
@ojay180
for taking out 1st and 2nd! I was in the dream breaker bracket playing the other undefeated round 5, got the win and managed to take out 3rd and the 4-1!
This weekend made me fall back in love with AoS this edition. I’ve really struggled to find my identity with an army this season. I know Gitz are super good and I’ve jumped on the band wagon. But it really suits the way I like to play the game and I’m buzzing for the next one!
Finally landed in the UK after a world wind few days in New Mexico for the US open. Firstly, want to say a massive thanks to Mike, Zack and the team
@WarComTeam
for making it all possible. It was a fantastic event, unbelievable venue and filled with great people.
1/3 Massive shout out to the incredible human that is
@jnoahsingh1
. He smashed it this weekend to take out LVO and was amazing to watch on Sunday. Watching Maxine stress and show so much pride watching you play was heart warming! Big respect to Scooter for pushing him so close!
Bitter sweet this weekend just gone! I have just finished my last event of the season before I go on sabbatical for cricket. Thought I would take a little moment to reflect on my first year playing properly and let you how I found it. I managed to squeeze in 12 events! 1/11
Had a blast at Leicester GT ran by
@ColonelCabbage1
. Last event for me with the old Slaves to Darkness book and took the KOTET to a 5-0. 5 great games against good opponents. Always a blast to hang out with the AoS Community. Playing
@mathmallowAOS
game 2 was from ideal!
Today marked my first day back working properly since 13th of September. My company has been amazing throughout my health issues, not docked any pay or sick days from me. Private healthcare has helped speed up the resolution to the issues, hoping to be fit and firing for 2023! 1/
Had a great weekend at LGT.
@AelvenPainter
well done and thanks for TOing.
Managed to take out the event with Gitz!

Massive shout out to
@the_black_sun
for a great event. Managed to take it out and also win best chaos. Great weekend with 5 great games of warhammer and a great curry with everyone on the Saturday. Bit of a change in list and the Varanguard did a lot of hard yards today!
Lovely thing to find on my desk at work this morning. One of my colleagues told me her 8 year old found a warhammer club at school and have a Vindictor and a Gutrippa. To help kick start the worse financial decision ever, I gifted them a dominion and extremis box set!
Honestly, chuffed to take out BLACKOUT VI! It’s been a great week or so for me with the call up to England and playing warhammer with my mates this weekend for my birthday. Couldn’t think of many better ways of turning 30! Massive shout out to
@the_black_sun
for a great event! 🥰
BLACKOUT VI

Phil Marshall - Seraphon
@AoS_Marshy92
Called up the
@EnglandAoS1
Team, turned 30 & then wins a 90 player event. Not a bad little run for Big Phil!
Really tough day two for me today plying into
@zhhammer
and his Nurgle and
@Dobies101
with his Nighthaunt. Two great games and great opponents. Managed to get the two wins and finish 5-0 and took out my first event!
So the end of September marked my first whole year involved in the AoS community! I’ve been very fortunate to be able to attend the amount of events that I have over the past 12 months! I’ve found a great club in Lance & Buckler that I have learnt a lot from! 1/3
With no events booked now till LVO. I’ve had a little time to reflect on what’s been a pretty wild 3 Weeks with winning 3 events back to back. US Open, Six Nations and Leicester GT. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Best thing I have done for myself in years. Love AoS.
Great weekend at warhammer world! Went up with club mates and had a few legends from
@Team_LIT_AoS
there. Managed to get 4th and take out best in bracket with only loss coming to fellow Team England teammate

Chuffed to win the event with the help of secondaries and cleanest gamer!
Absolutely buzzing about this, can’t believe I get to be representing England at this years 6 Nations. I’ve dived into the scene put a lot of reps in the last 12 months and it’s paid off! Unreal bunch of people to be playing alongside!

Had the pleasure of playing The Hot Souz this morning. Classy gent and the hand shake before prio for one of us to get the 20-0 in Lurkers. Fortunately my dice got me the Win.
Next time I hope to play Bill in a proper mission haha.
Going to take a bit of a time out from the hobby for a little bit. Been a mental year for me. Played 398 games and am feeling it.
I will be active on
@TheBrothers_War
account chasing people up on tickets.
Catch y’all soon. ⚔️🔥⚔️
1/8 So with 2023 coming to an end, I thought I would do some reflecting on what has been one of my favourite years in Warhammer so far. From the Friends I have made and the 5-0s along the way.
I am looking forward to what 2024 has instore, Happy New Year you beautiful people!
Great weekend at WiTH.
@LiamCJordan
@markthebeastman
you guys have yet again outdone yourselves with a fantastic event and I’m ready for act 3 next year. Chuffed to take out Best General Chaos and coming in 6th Overall. 4 great games of warhammer. Shock. Another 4-1.
Super pumped for Brotherhood this weekend. First outing with the new FEC and soooooo excited to play with the Beastflayers I bought for Nagash in the summer and never got to use... 😅😅😅😅
Still got 4 lads that need painting and we are good to go!
When you have too many dice and can’t decide what to use. You buy two dice trays…
Getting all prepped for the new GHB, have little motivation at the minute to play AoS in the old GHB.
Check little 400 mile trip and 2 minute appointment this morning to get a passport so I can go to
@AosWorlds
next week…
Didn’t realise you needed 3 months left on it…
#amsterdambound
Now that I am home and had a short flight to reflect on LVO. Whilst the outcome from a gaming perspective didn’t end the way I wanted it to, I got far more out of the event in terms of memories and new friends! Thanks to everyone that I met and can’t wait to do it all again! 🥰🥰
Had a great weekend at Warrior Lodge! Tough round 5 against a great opponent in
@MtgBro2Pro
. Slaanesh don’t like being Shot and Fabs got the win to take out the event! Very happy with 4-1 with Slaanesh in its first outing and only a few practise games. Chuffed to take 3rd!
Honestly this is a huge honour for me to be invited up to the defending Champions Worlds team. I am beyond excited to putting even more work in over the next 5 months to make sure we bring it home. However, with all of this positive emotion, I am gutted for both Laurie & Darren.
So a bit of change to the England team for worlds. With great sadness both
@lhwaos
and
@PositiveVictim
can no longer make it. Thankfully due to the really strong squad system we have in place we have two recent 6N winners ready to join.
@MrMaximusB
@AoS_Marshy92
welcome!
Lovely little intro game. Me DoK and Lilly on Slaves. Two armies she’s been considering so she got to see what both were like.
She’s wanting to ramp up to 2k next week to use Morathi.
Success. Horrible Competitive person plays nice game with new person and they want more!
Matt at
@ppaintedstudios
never fails to disappoint. Love all the hobby aids he provides and the quality and service is superb.
You’ll see from every game I play I have the full complement of gaming aids and as I’ve said, its testament to the quality that they provide.
Really tough day 1 at LGT. All the stonehorns round 1.
@Jackwarmstrong

All three were great games. Im still in the hunt and super happy to be top 3.
Finally, if I am being honest this is the best thing I have done for myself in the last few years personally, and its down to all you guys. The AOS Community is truly amazing and I am proud to be a part of it. From myself and Archie, we bloody love you! See you next season! 11/11
