The First Bonejack

My first Cryx mini, painted and based. Nothing much more to say realy. I've spent a month, on and off, painting it. At this rate I should have the starter box finished for christmas.

You will however see more stuff from me other the next 6 weeks or so. Ive entered a Tournament called 'A Gathering of Might'. 1500 points of 8th Ed warhammer, no special characters, 6 games over 2 days.
I was planing to field the rats to this event, but time and money both mean thats not possible. So I will be dusting off the Empire. This will be my first real tournament event. Wish me luck!

Who's sitting this one out?

Recently I found out that a local store will be running a small, friendly, 35 point Warmachine tournament. No prize, no fee's, just for fun. Now me being me, I cant decide what warcaster I'm gunna field. I have however decided I'm gunna field a tiered list. I'm torn between three warcasters. I'll write a little about each and explain my thoughts.

The break....

Ok so I've been away a while, you know how it is. Work, real life and the summer in general. I've not however been totaly away from the hobby. I doubt many of us ever actualy are.

The 13th spell....

... flipping rocks!

I played agaist Vampire Counts today. 2000 points, I took the list in the post below. He took a nice VC list, no named characters except Vargulf.
First game, I won on turn 1. The only game I have ever won on turn 1. I got to go first, advanced forward. Nothing of note realy, as the magic fluffed it. Come his magic phase, he misscast with his General. Then rolled a double 1. Killing him outright. He would of mostly crumbled before I got into combat so we restarted.

2000pts Skaven

So today Im taking my skaven out for a propper run. So to speak. This will be my true first 2000 point game with this army. I say true because I have actualy played a 2000 point game already, I just had to use nearly 1000 points of characters so I could play it..... Not good for a 'swarmy' army. Specialy as when Squeek finaly got into combat, he promtly got picked up and smushed by a Giant.  We left a small piece of blue tack stuck to the tabel as a smeer of honour for him.

Welcome the Nightmare Empire.

So, me being me again, today I impulse bought a small Cryx Warmachine force. Now Im a big fan of Warmachine, I just dont play it enough. I've had a fairly large, mostly unassembled, Khador force for about 18 months, and I've just never gotten around to it.

Work begins

So Ive finaly started to paint the army. Typicaly me being me, I went right for the good stuff first, instead of saving it as a 'reward' for finishing a unit.

First Skaven battle - 750pts

So I had my first true Skaven battle today. My 'mighty' forces took on a rather large, for the points, Empire force.
