STANDINGS 6/24 EDITION

Going into Sunday 6/24, these are the standings in the War for Hirestel!


OVERSTADT
Lesitan's Legion has been creeping up on Wade and the Harbingers of Spring, but the Wanderers were able to hold onto the lead in Overstadt and protect its inhabitants from the Tzeentchian hordes!

2. Lesitan's Legion - 7
3. Jeremy C. (Seraphon) - 4
3. The Gorgers - 4

ALSO
Star Lizards - 3

LAVA FIELDS
The Polychromatic Host gets within 1 CP of the Gruntz, but Matt holds his control over the Lava Fields in absentia! With many armies within one big win of controlling the region, who will end up in control of this volatile region?

1. Gruntz - 6
2. Polychromatic Host - 5
3. The Host Brethren - 4
4. Dragoneater Tribe - 4
5. Star Lizards - 4
6. Gorgers - 4

2. Lions of Sigmar - 7
3. Host Brethren - 5

ALSO
Angorrath's Chosen - 5

LESITAN'S GARDEN
Control of Lesitan's Garden has come down to two armies: Will's Death army and Austin's Daughters of Khaine! A miscalculation on my part had Morathi's Angels at only 8 pts last week (Sorry, Will!), but now both armies are tied at 9 CP in the most magically infused region in Hirestel!

2. Will W. (Death) - 9

4. Fist of the Gorepine - 5

STANDINGS 6/17 EDITION

Going into Sunday 6/17, these are the standings in the War for Hirestel!


OVERSTADT
Wade remains unchallenged once again in Overstadt as his Harbingers of Spring have thwarted challengers to help protect the free people of Hirestel! Wade gains another extra VP for being a bastion of order and peace in this chaotic realm.

LAVA FIELDS

3. Dragoneater Tribe - 4 
4. Star Lizards - 4
5. Gorgers - 4

2. Nightwave - 6
3. Host Brethren - 5

ALSO
Angorrath's Chosen - 5

2. Church of the Festering Cistern - 9
2. Harbingers of Spring - 4

ALSO
Seshantu's Manflayers - 3
Gorgers - 3

LESITAN'S GARDEN
The Garden was hotly contested again this week with the Daughters of Khaine cutting a swath of blood and gore through the garden to take control of it this week! Morathi's Angels have separated themselves from the pack after a busy week, but many others are right on Austin's heels!

3. Fatechosen Warband - 4

ALSO
Star Lizards - 3


THE SPIRE

ALSO

1. Gorgers - 4
2. Fatechosen Warband - 4
3. Seshantu's Manslayers - 2


LIVING FOREST
