We hadn't played Bolt Action for a while so that was what ended up on the table. We didn't quite get the game finished on the night so it sat for a few days at turn 3 and got finished up on the Monday.<br />

As the game was spaced out a bit and due to the fact that I now have to zip and email my photos to myself off my phone it's taken a while to get this one typed up and naturally I've forgotten a fair amount of the action. That being said it was a fun little game and though the end results don't show it very well Jen was starting to push back fairly well during turns 5 and 6, I have a feeling that if we had have gotten the 7th turn she would have evened out the score.</div>

Jen and I have been using it as a yearly holiday for ourselves but this year took down the youngest to see what she thought of it.<br />
<br />
As usual we detoured over to the Australian War Memorial, but this year we added the National Museum and checked out the Rome City and Empire exhibit currently on loan out there. I have to say it was an exceptional display.<br />

I've got a few things on the go at the moment, ranging from my ongoing Tyranids to a mass of Zulus to be followed by some colonial British. So hopefully I'll have something more hobby or game related to post up soon.Christian Torrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819173652391031731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246596063411789848.post-11567262047231984372019-01-23T19:04:00.000+10:002019-01-23T19:04:31.409+10:001914 vs The YoungestArwen and I finally managed to get a game in of the 1914 rule set from Great Escape Games. Her Belgium force may not be quite done, but she was far enough along we could finally get some minis on the table and see how the game played.<br />
<br />
The game play is based around the management of command tokens and morale tokens. At the start of each turn you allocate your command tokens across the various battalions of your force, then use them to activate your units as required. As a unit activates the difficulty to reactivate them is increased each time. This can be further increased as they come under fire and begin to take morale tokens.<br />

By the end of the second turn we'd got our heads around the mechanics and both really enjoyed the game. I did manage to win the game at the end of the fifth turn having taken two of her battalions off the table, but it was quite a close game. The use of the cavalry as a bluffing/scouting mechanic was also quite a nice touch which led to a couple of tense moments for both of us as we stumbled upon the others' actual regiments. We'll be getting another game in soon hopefully and I'll try to organise a more detailed AAR.</div>

I think they look rather nice now they're all finished off. Arwen did end up falling a little behind, but it's too be forgiven as she's doing a final push on the study for her learners permit. She is at the point where everything but her guns are primed and ready to hit the bases so the current plan is for a game on Sunday.<br />

I've finished off the infantry except for a coat of varnish (the weather hasn't really been cooperating for a rattle can), the artillery just needs a wash and a touch up (and to be glued down) and I've made a fair start on the cavalry stands. Not sure if I'll get too much more done today but I'm hoping to be able to have them done and on the table by Sunday.<br />

I toyed with straight static grass at first, but after the first I ended up mixing up a couple of fine flocks (dark and burnt green) as well a little static grass for a bit of depth. They may not be the most finished of projects I've done but from a table top view I quite happy with result.</div>

Arwen didn't get much done as she was rather engrossed in her new book, though she has finished off her bases and seeing as she approached things a different way has begun to glue down her Belgians.Christian Torrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819173652391031731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246596063411789848.post-10071784699571870932019-01-07T07:36:00.000+10:002019-01-07T07:36:06.626+10:00Hobby "Challenge" for Great Escape Games 1914My youngest and I purchased some 12mm World War One armies for Great Escapes Games 1914 towards the first half of last year. We decided that while I was on holidays we'd set aside a few days and get it out of the box and on the table. Yesterday saw the beginning of that "challenge".<br />

I haven't undercoated with either white or a rattle can for a while now, but for sake of ease I went with it for this project. The bases are done with a Reaper Volcanic Brown base and a Reaper Harvest Brown as the highlight. 1914 is designed to represent the more flowing parts of the early and late war rather than the more commonly known trench based aspects of the war, so I'll be finishing the bases off with some static grass and tufts. I've got a few more stands to highlight starting today, then I'll be making a start on the infantry.</div>

Started off with a game of 40k bringing the newly painted Trygon onto the table and then managed to squeeze in an introduction to Age of Sigmar.<br />
<br />
The 40k game saw my Tyranids come up against his Necrons. While the final score saw me without a point to my name the game itself was much tighter than that would have you believe. I've come away with a few tweaks to try with my force and a larger disliking of reanimation protocols and quantum shielding :).<br />

<br />After packing up the SciFi we quickly set up for Age of Sigmar with my brother lending my his Khorne force while he took his.... I can't remember the new name for them but basically Ogres on woolly rhinos. I did manage to sneak a 6 to 2 win on this one, but we both found a few things we'd played incorrectly in this one which may have narrowed the margin.<div>

Pushed myself a bit and finished off this Trygon for 40k over the course of a few days and I'm happy with how it turned out. I've been playing around with a few new (for me) techniques with my Tyranids and I think I'm starting to get to grips with them now. I've already got a Broodlord and a nice swarm of Genestealers finished over the last couple of months. I've still got a few more to go a few Tyranid Warriors, a Tyranid Prime and a Hive Tyrant, but once they're done I may look at sorting out my next thousand points.<div>

I've still got a couple of weeks left on my holiday so I'm hoping to get started on a few other projects as well. I'm planning mostly on getting some more tables sorted out for the start of the year, though there are a couple of other miniature projects I'm looking at such as some 12mm WW1 models and I've just grabbed a quite a few Zulus and some British Line Infantry for a Rourke's Drift game; plus I grabbed a few different 15mm fantasy armies as presents this year for family and friends to play around with as well.</div>

I've got a couple of games in here and there and have been getting quite a lot of painting knocked over.<br />
<br />
Arwen and I have been sitting down watching Critical Role together and painting away since she started the holidays. Now I've knocked over a few of my own projects Jen (the wife) has decided that her Bolt Action Japanese are the next on my list so I've just started touching up what she'd started and am going on from there. Arwen has started on her Circle of Orboros Hordes starter box and using the technique guide in the back of one of the mini books she's starting to play with some layering and shading and I think it's coming along really well. I'll put a few photos up in the next update.<br />
<br />
Due to a bit of a lack of motivation and decent weather the photos aren't the best but I'll put up what I've taken anyway.<br />

I also pulled out the Lords of Dust for the Home Raiders game as I had promised my youngest niece that I would have a game with her when she came over to stay next. They'll be over later this week so I knocked them over in a few days so I'm ready to go for her. I've still got a Scarab Rider to go but the penguin himself is done so it shouldn't take me too long to finish off.<br />

Arwen and I managed to get another game in this week, though we did have to break it up over two nights. It's been a while since we got a game of Bolt Action and I've been feeling like getting it on the table for the last few weeks so that's what we went with. We decided to play a scenario that required us to hold five objective points spread across the table.<br />

The first turn was mostly the two of us moving up into position although I did manage to hit her M13/40 with a glancing shot pinning it down slightly.<br />

The second turn the firing really began with most of our heavier guns and fire teams beginning to attempt to pin each other down. Several units did pick up a few pin markers here and there but most of the fire was ineffectual.<br />

Unfortunately the Italian's were then taken out by the return fire from the German vehicle. With that flank now relatively secure the German's began to push toward the centre heading for the objectives while suppressing the distant Italian units.<br />

While having to deal with some fire from the Italian Autoblinda the German's continued their push across the river cutting down the Italian machine gun team. A brave squad of Grenadiers then pushed up the hill cresting the top and opening fire with their panzerfaust destroying the Italian Armoured Car.<br />

While the Grenadiers on the hill came under some heavy fire and began to take casualties they managed to rally and hold their position. Several units under both commands began to suffer the effects of the engagement going down rather than attempting their assigned orders.<br />

It was another really tight game and while I did manage a clear victory this time Arwen had me play quite cautiously over several turns. I've got another 4 squads of German on the painting table at the moment including one unit of Kriegsmarines and I'm toying with the idea of a larger multi player game in the near future.<br />

I knocked these over before I started on the Walking Dead box but the first lot of photos was badly out of focus (which I didn't realise until I'd started to to the blog post and it's taken me this long to get around to getting some better shots.<br />

I've now knocked over the survivors from The Walking Dead, except for Rick on a horse (who'll get finished soonish) so I'll get a few shots of them sometime soon. I've got a table setup downstairs at the moment and it looks like Arwen and I will be getting a game of Bolt Action in on Sunday so should have another battle report up sometime next week as well.</div>

She took her Irish (easy choice for her only having the one faction) and I decided on my Vikings this time. She set up the table while I was at work and we decided just to play the standard Kill the Warchief scenario.<br />

The Vikings while late to get their battle line set were the first to get rolling across the battlefield, with an even advance toward the Irish lines. The Irishmen then began to head toward the Norse line with warriors on both flanks hurling javelins as the surged forward though only a single warrior fell to their cowardly javelins. Meanwhile the Irish Houndmaster distracted by the baying on his charges mistakenly coursed them forward into a solid block of Viking Hirdmen who quite quickly and efficiently took out most of the dogs.<br />

A certain capricious Norse god showed his presence on the battlefield as the remaining Irish wolfhounds disappeared from the battlefield. While the rest of the line held steady the Viking warriors on the flank charged forward to avenge their fallen comrade and drove the Irish unit back killing a few of the men. Rather than counter charge the Irish chose to hold their line and hurled more javelins across the intervening ground at the Viking's and again their efforts only resulted in a single fallen Norse warrior.<br />

Not learning the lesson just taught on the other flank the Irish warriors once again tried to fell the Vikings from a safe distance and again failing to have any real effect. The overextended Viking warriors were then subjected to multiple charges from the Irish, while they did managed to drive off both of the Curaidh. This forced the Irish warchief to order his hearthguard into combat with the brave men who finally fell to the constant Irish attack, but I'm certain they all found their way to the halls of Valhalla.<br />

Finally running out of patience the Viking warriors on the other flank charge into the Irish, but these men prove to be the equal of the Norsemen and manage to drive off their foes. The Irish take advantage of the relative quiet of the Viking line and take a moment to refresh themselves before throwing themselves back into the fray.<br />
<br />
The Norse warriors throw themselves at the Irish defense but are again broken like waves on the rocks by the seemingly giant Irish warriors. Taking heart from their consistent defeat of the Viking warrior unit the Irishmen begin a charge of their own. Only a single Viking man remains on his feet but finally they found their strength and managed to drive back a tattered Irish unit even as they themselves fell.<br />

Loki again worked his magic deciding to honour the remaining man's bravery and prowess and the tattered Irish unit across from him are whisked away. The lone man is called back behind the safety of the Hirdmen line as the Vikings prepare to withdraw from the field. With the light fading the Irish warband decides to attempt to save face for their thus far rather cowardly and poor efforts in the days fighting, though again it falls to the warriors as the warchief and his hearthguard stay as far from the Viking lines as they can and still claim to be on the field. The Irish warriors begin their run across the field hurling javelins dropping a couple of Viking men before smashing into their waiting shieldwall breaking it and driving them back and with a last surge of momentum following it up with a second charge finishing of the Norse unit.<br />

Such a close game with only four victory points between us. Her last ditch gamble in the closing turn definitely rewarded her with the draw and good on her for it. Every time we play her tactics just get better and better. Hopefully we'll get another game in soon.Christian Torrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819173652391031731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246596063411789848.post-8521673069473561852017-02-25T17:45:00.000+10:002017-02-25T17:46:24.378+10:0025th February - Walking Dead Games vs The Wife and The YoungestI managed to get a couple of games of <a href="http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/the-walking-dead.html" target="_blank">The Walking Dead: All Out War</a> in over the last week, one against Arwen and one against Jenny.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My first game was against Jenny and we played the intro scenario from the tutorial booklet which pits Rick and Carl vs Derek, Sandra and Patrick. Jen picked Rick and Carl so I took the other three. The game works with an alternating activation of your gang members with initiative changing each turn. After all the members have been activated the game moves to an events phase where walkers can attack people within their kill zone and a card is turn which can have different effects such as spawning more walkers, moving walkers or other random events. There is then a melee phase when anyone that is in base contact must fight it out, followed by a chance for prone walkers to get up and any bites are checked.</div>

With Rick pulled down by a pack of walkers and the bulk of the loot tokens in my possession Jen conceded the game.<br />

<div>
Myself and Arwen decided to play a custom game using the standard scenario of two scavenging parties and a small pack of roamers in between them "guarding" the scattered loot counters. We took turns selecting either characters or equipment and ended up with around 110 points each.</div>

We had a fairly quite start to the game with most of the early event cards having little to no effect, apart from a car alarm going off early on causing mayhem and drawing several walkers toward Derek allowing me to quickly grab several loot tokens.</div>

Arwen tried to slow me down with walkers but I was able to fend them off with out too much hassle, though admittedly not as easily as Derek was with his katana.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Things started to get tense when we had several lurkers appear on the remaining loot tokens and Arwen chased down poor Duane and hacked him down in front of his father. The threat meter finally hit high on the same turn, this was bad news for me as my entire group only had medium nerve so I began panic rolling for everyone while on Arwen's side Derek was able to keep his head.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Arwen quickly picked up the supply counters dropped by Duane so I began firing my handgun with Carl as often as I could pushing the threat meter higher with each shot, finally hitting 18 and ending the game in a draw 3 loot markers each.<br />
<br />
<br />

As I'm sure was noticeable in the pictures my survivors are currently on the painting table so I should hopefully have them finished within the next week depending on how many chores I get allocated over my weekend :). </div>

A quick shuffle of terrain and we were good to go. We've not quite got around to naming our gang members yet (I may have as I wrote this up) as there may be some rebuilding of them before we start any sort of progressive gaming with them. I'm also beginning the hunt to find models that scream Forest-kin to me so I'm using models from my other AtDE gangs for the moment. It was definitely a much smoother run through this time, not that it's a hard rule set to pick up. We decided to limit it to a six turns as someone had some previous homework commitments.<br />

The late afternoon sun began to slip behind the hills, there wouldn't be much time to get this done. Rumors of a caravan raid and dropped cargo had drawn them here but across the way there was the distinctive glint of sunlight on metal. The rumors had obviously attracted others....<br />

The two rival gangs quickly began flitting across the landscape, moving quickly to get into the best firing lines while keeping to cover the best the could all the while focusing on getting the prize. Finally as the Forest-kin Alpha ran into the doorway of a ruined building a shot shot rang out as barked orders had Eagle-Eye attempt a long range shot at the distant Engineer leader though the range proved too far.<br />

Across the clearing a crossbow toting Engineer began to swiftly do the same thing with another dropped stash; Eagle-Eye seeing a shot lets off another sighting through a long broken window, but the round merely grazes across the man's shoulder leaving the Forest-kin sniper to adjust his sight. The remaining members of the gangs continue to move attempt to apply pressure to the opposing men and women while protecting their own. Hare-tip the Forest-kin scout tries a shot of her own at her Engineer opposite but again the shot goes wild as the range proves to be too far for effective shooting. The Engineer medic closes in through the ruins towards Hare-tip but as he advances the time weakened structure crumbles further and despite the sharp cry of "Lookout!" from his fellows he is knocked to the ground by broken concrete and bits of rusted rebar. Sensing danger approaching her scout the Alpha Mother moves up ready to support her family member, or give first aid which ever may be required.<br />

Perhaps spurred by the sound of his fallen comrade the Engineer medic regains his feet shaking off the effects of his heavy blow to the head. The Forest-kin Alpha begins to head back toward the meeting point again barking orders at Eagle-Eye positioning the man to cover the flank approach of his Forest-kin family members. The Engineer scout begins to climb the ruins looking to the higher ground for a better shot. With no enemy yet in sight Eagle-Eye settles down to watch and wait and is quickly offered a target by the Engineer heavy who after calculating the risk makes a dash for the cover of the rocks nearby but is taken down by the Forest-kin sharpshooters careful shot. The Engineer leader settles down to watch and wait himself decided to play a denial game for the last remaining stash of loot rather than risk the firing lines of the entire Forest-kin family.<br />

Hare-tip decides to rely on her speed and agility and risks the firing line of the Engineer leader and runs to grab the remaining loot, but after the rifle barks out she is left attempting to crawl back toward her Alpha Mother clutching her side. The higher ground seems to pay off for the Engineer scout as he lines up a shot at the Alpha but the Forest-kin leader shakes it off and continues to move dropping the loot safely off near the bug out point and head back into the fray to protect his family. The Alpha Mother begins to clear the path to her fallen daughter dropping her opponents medic with a blast from her shotgun, but the man quickly patches himself up and regains his feet.<br />

The sense of urgency growing in the Engineers ranks the medic continues to move heading over to the fallen assault gang member and patching him up. The Alpha begins to head around the building hoping to flank the Engineers, stopping to finish off the heavy along the way. The rest of the Forest-kin family move to cover the remaining loot while being careful not to expose themselves hoping the deepening twilight lasts long enough for their Alpha to flank and take out the dug in Engineer leader. While the remaining Engineers begin to fall back relying on their leader to cover the withdrawal.<br />

Finally the with the shadows have become an engulfing blackness across the area and the gangs are forced to withdraw, slipping back through the surrounding rocks and trees like phantoms heading back to their camps to see what prizes they managed to secure.<br />
<br />
It was a nice tight game with both of us securing one loot marker each, but after revealing the values it was a slim victory to me. It was great to get a good game of Across the Dead Earth in as it's been a while since I've had it out on the table, Arwen really enjoyed herself as well and I'm thinking I might have the motivation to pull out some of my <a href="http://shop.battlesystems.co.uk/urban-apocalypse-terrain-8-c.asp" target="_blank">Urban Apocalypse Battle Systems terrain</a> to set up a more urban style area to play on. Meanwhile the weathers looking good today I'll try to get some better shots of those Malifaux Gremlins and get them up this afternoon and I potentially have a game of something happening today against Toby so possibly another battle report in the near future as well.Christian Torrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819173652391031731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246596063411789848.post-89458757112839006602017-02-16T16:42:00.001+10:002017-02-16T16:42:44.727+10:0016th February - Finished Walking Dead WalkersWhile I haven't been posting I have got a few bits and pieces done since I got back from Canberra. Gaming wise Arwen and I got a game of Across the Dead Earth, we're thinking we'll get another one in the next few days and I'll do a bit of a write up on it. We're using the Origins PDF so she's settled on an Engineer gang, which was what I was thinking of so I've ended up with Forest kin. While they're a little softer than the other gangs I found the extra movement quite useful in our game.<br />
<br />
I finally got around to finishing off my Gremlins for Malifaux but the photos didn't look as in focus on the computer as they did on the camera so I'll take some more and putting up another post on them in the next few days.<br />
<br />
I also decided to get my walkers painted up from my Walking Dead base set and the two boosters I picked up at Cancon. We've played a couple of games and found it a little tricky to pick out the walkers from the survivors. I think to assist this I'll also be painting the rim of the bases green rather than brown as well.<br />

It was a great weekend away and we both had a lot of fun. For me it was my first time entering a tournament and I had a great time. It was pretty much my first chance playing against someone outside my usual group of family and friends, and I learnt a lot throughout two days.<br />

<br />
My first game was against another Abyssal Dwarf player with a small allied contingent of Forces of the Abyss. My opponent also came dressed as a Abyssal Dwarf general, and considering the nearing 40 degree temperature that was no mean feat. The polite term for what happened next is absolute slaughter I believe :). I'm fairly certain I was completely routed by the end of his fifth turn while barely managing to pull down a few hundred points of his army, but I quickly learnt the importance of keeping a close eye on unit positioning and the sheer demolishing impact of multi unit charging. I really appreciated his pointers both during and after the game which gave me some useful ideas going into the following games.<br />

Game 2 - Draw 10VP to 10VP<br />
<br />
I came up against an Orc force with allied Goblins in the next round. I was feeling much better moving into this game and managed to avoid any of the serious blunders from the first round. I slightly confused the objective on this one but thankfully had some larger units in the scoring area which allowed me to get a draw, I did have my fingers crossed for a seventh turn which depending on my combat rolls might have got me there, but it wasn't too be. Still I was quite happy to go from a complete annihilation to an even draw.<br />

Game 3 - Win 15VP to 5VP<br />
<br />
This was against a Kingdoms of Men force and gave me my first win for the tournament. Once again my opponent was great to play against and we had quite a bit of a laugh though out the game with some amazingly bad nerve rolls on both our parts allowed some incredibly tattered units to fight on for another turn, but I finally managed to break apart the centre of his force and take a hard fought win.<br />

Game 4 - Draw 9VP to 11VP<br />
<br />
My final game for day one was against a fellow Queenslander and his Forces of the Abyss. It was quite a different army to play against compared to my previous matches with quite a few fast troops and two hordes of nimble flyers. The objective was to punch through into the opponents half of the table and we both pushed an equal number of troops through he managed to maul me slightly more. It was still a draw but the attrition score gave him an extra tournament point and took one from me. But yet again another great game.<br />
<br />
That bought the first day of competition to a close which left me sitting in the high 30s on the ladder. I was shocked at just how drained I was at the end of the day, I was expecting it to be a long day but just didn't think it would take quite so much out of you :).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Game 5 - Win 15VP to 5VP<br />
<br />
This game was fantastic, my opponent was an absolute blast to play with. He had brought a Force of Basilea army and although he insisted they weren't finished I thought they looked fantastic. The basing was amazing and watching how they played I'm thinking I might put a force together myself at some stage. Again there was some amazing nerve rolls with three separate double one rolls at annoying instances for both of us but it made for some epic moments and big laughs for both of us. It was such a close game as well. My opponent let out a victory bellow upon the end of the game but after a closer inspection it turned out that my Lesser Golems had made it over the central line which gave me the win by one point. This took me to 30th on the ladder and I mentioned to Jen that I might have climbed a little to close to the sun here which we had a bit of a laugh about especially after my next two games.<br />

<br />
Game 6 - Loss 2VP to 18VP<br />
<br />
Another match up against the Forces of Abyss, though this one contained two rather powerful spellcasters which proved to be my downfall with turn after turn of two 20 dice fireballs combined with piercing wearing my Lesser Golems down leading them to be the first casualties of the game. My opponent had already begun to apologise about the pair of them before the game began so I was expecting them to be handing out quite a bit of punishment. I might have pulled a slightly smaller margin of loss if a few of my nerve rolls had of gone my way, but sometimes that's the way it goes. It was another fantastic game and another opponent I really enjoyed playing against.<br />
<br />
<br />
Game 7 - Loss 3VP to 17VP<br />
<br />
My final game was against a Dwarf player and again another great game and opponent. He had only recently relocated to Australia from England and had also been working for Mantic so we had quite a good chat after the game both about the mistakes I made (and yes there were several) and Kings of War and gaming in general. The scenario was Kill and Pillage! and I focused too heavily on the pillage aspect during deployment, the good thing was I realised this about 5 seconds into my turn. My other major mistake was trying to shoehorn the Supreme Ironcaster on Greater Abyssal into a role that would have been better served with a stock standard Ironcaster, something which I had started to realise but my opponent confirmed for me.<br />

I also picked up a spot prize for my first round annihilation so another big thank you to <a href="http://sciborminiatures.com/" target="_blank">Scibor Monstrous Miniatures</a> for my <a href="http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1442" target="_blank">Strielecs</a> blister.Christian Torrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819173652391031731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246596063411789848.post-88817146584707613772017-01-19T14:44:00.000+10:002017-01-19T14:44:11.652+10:0019th January - Finished Abyssal Dwarf Force for CanconFinally finished my Abyssal Dwarf force. and I have to say I'm rather happy with the way it turned out. I've got a few photos now of the last three components (Ironcasters and Devastators) and one shot of the whole army (although I did have to cram them into the light box). I've got a couple of Mutated throwing mastiffs to finish off, but seeing as they're just tokens they won't take me too long to knock over. Not sure what I'll start next but I'm leaning toward my Scourge for Dropfleet, although I've got an idea for the basing of my Malifaux gremlins so maybe I'll have a shot at them.<br />

There's still five days left before the kids head back to school so Arwen and I are going to make sure we get at least one more game in before then.</div>

I realise the first month of the year is now almost half over, but while I've been a little slack with blogging so far I've been fairly busy with both gaming and hobby. My youngest daughter Arwen and I have got in another couple of King of War games. It's been good having a live in opponent in the lead up to the tournament in a couple of weeks. My wife Jen and I got a game of Warmachine/Hordes as well a few days ago, we're still just playing with the battle boxes but once we get back I think we'll start looking a doing a small journeyman league over the next couple of months.<br />

I've finished off my Devastator troops for my Abyssal Dwarves but as I sit here I realise I haven't actually taken any photos of them yet. However I have been working on my Greater Abyssal mount for one of my Ironcasters and have now finished him off so I'll put them up for now and next week when I finish the Ironcasters I'll get some photos up of them and the completed two thousand point force.<br />

We're planning to get a few games in this week but we decided to kick things off with Kings of War. Arwen decided to play with her previous Undead list again, but I went for a few changes with my Abyssal Dwarves swapping out one of the heavy mortars for a couple of dragon fire teams and fielding several changes to the infantry side of my list.<br />
<br />
We setup for the Kill and Pillage scenario and Arwen won the deployment roll taking the side she'd loaded with objectives (well there was three of the five anyway). I won the initiative roll, but choose to give her the first turn.<br />

Arwen began to advance slowly, keeping her army in a line across the table. I pushed ahead a little faster and managed to get a few early game shots in with my Devastators wavering her Werewolves and with a few lucky rolls routing her Wraiths. On the left flank I surged my Lesser Golems ahead as well to provided a bit of a road black for her Zombie hordes while I got the units behind them into position.<br />

I shuffled around on the right plugging the gap as best as I could planning on using the Gargoyles as a delaying tactic if necessary. During the shooting phase I peppered her leading horde of Zombies with everything I had in range before surging the Lesser Golems into combat with them, but despite a massive amount of wounds they managed to pass their nerve and the dark magics continued to hold them together.<br />

Arwen continued her poor shooting (but what do you expect from Skeleton Archers let's be honest) though she got a couple of small heals off across the table, but during melee her Zombies managed to do some serious damage to the Golems and they soon crumbled to dust. Unfortunately for her this played into my hand and while her Wraiths suffered more wounds from the attention of my Devastator unit and in the centre my Greater Golem routed her Soul Reaver Cavalry the demise of my Lesser Golems opened up the path for my second regiment of Halfbreeds who proceeded to charge into the awaiting horde and sent them back into the grave.<br />

The following turn was pretty brutal on both sides with her forces wounding mine fairly heavily but failing to break them. My turn saw much of the same and while some of my nerve rolls would have wavered normal troops her fearless Undead pulled through with out any real issues (apart from the massive wounds taken).<br />

With her only successful Lightning Bolt spell of the game Arwen finally managed to waver my Decimators that had been camping the objective point in the forest however, thanks to the Inspiring presence of my Supreme Iron-caster it quickly became a rout (I liked my chances for the re-roll). Her luck continued through the turn as her second Zombie horde managed to rout the Halfbreeds with basically the minimal amount of wounds possible (she got a bloody twelve). However my hero did get a chance to redeem himself which he did prevent the Mummies from destroying the second unit of Lesser Golems. Which spearheaded my push during my turn and I finished up breaking a substantial portion of her force.<br />

With her force in tatters Arwen attempted to secure as many objectives as she could but while I failed to remove her Skeleton Archers camping on one of the points I did mange to fly some Gargoyles over to contest her second one prevent her from scoring it.<br />

The final score left me with the field and victory though it could have gone either way if the if the fourth turn had of broken more units than it did.

I've been rather busy, but it's not been overly focused on any particular thing. I've been playing a fair amount of Kingdom Death: Monster and have got the core game mostly glued now (only got The Watcher left to go, plus any extra survivors I feel like throwing together). We couldn't resist the Black Friday sales so we've picked up all the expansions the Australian warehouse still had in stock and we're in for the update pack on the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poots/kingdom-death-monster-15?ref=activity" target="_blank">kickstarter which is still running now</a>.</div>

We've also kept up some strong momentum on the board game front with the Monday games night group going strong and the family and I have been playing our two new acquisitions this week; Plague Inc which is a brilliant adaption from the old app store game, and we got our first game of River Horse's <i>Jim Henson's Labyrinth</i> in last night and we all found it to be quite enjoyable.</div>

While I couldn't find the newer rules for her Irish we did find an updated version of one of the scenarios we hadn't got on the table as of yet and decided to give it a whirl. It's basically a pure victory points scenario where the warchief cannot die, however each wound that would have killed them equals one victory point and either the first person to get more than ten points difference or the most points after six turns is the winner.<br />
<br />
I played the Vikings this game and took three points of Hearthguard (one of which I ran as Beserkers, the other two as one solid unit of Hirdman) and the remaining three points were Warriors. Arwen took her usual two points of Hearthguard (one unit of six and her two Curaidh) and the rest of her points as Warriors with one unit being her Wolfhounds.<br />

The viking Bondi quickly moved to support their Chieftain running straight up the field of battle to assist him in his struggle. While they moved up at the double the more experienced members of the viking warband advanced up at a more cautious pace waiting to see which way the Irish would respond. Finally a second Bondi unit moved in to protect the flank from the distant Irish Warhounds.<br />

Suddenly hidden Irish patriots began to hurl javelins at the Berserker unit as they skirted the woods then as quickly as they appeared the<i> 'Sons of Dana'</i> melted back into the forest leaving one fur clad Northman lying on the battlefield. This was followed by the Irish Hearthguard advancing up to their warchief and while several of their javelins found the leader of the Viking warband only one managed to penetrate the grizzled warriors defences.<br />

The Berserkers foaming at the mouth after seeing such an unmanly ranged attack on their war leader charge the Irish chief screaming to '<i>Frigg</i>' and '<i>Thor</i>' but the Irishman proves to be quite the warrior in his own right, not only managing to deflect the mighty blows from the Vikings but also killing them all with his own mighty swings. This moved the Viking leader to anger and he moved in on his counterpart himself wounding the man and driving him back.<br />

Again a hail of Javelins strike out toward the Norse warchief but this time not a single missile finds it's target. Meanwhile one of the Curaidh engages the supporting Bondi unit but the Irish champion is fought to a stalemate.<br />

<br />
The Viking Hirdmen surge forward and land some forceful blows on the Irish warchief driving the man back and scoring some brutal hits upon him. Emboldened by the success of their veteran counterparts the Bondi charge forward chasing down the Irish Curaidh and cut down the man sending a wave of dismay through the nearby Irish units. Sensing a chance to buckle the Irish line further the Viking warchief leads the remaining Hirdmen into combat with the Irish Hearthguard but one of the men manages to survive the onslaught preventing panic from spreading any further though the ranks.<br />

The Irish respond with a devastating hail of javelins into the unit of Bondi responsible for the Curaidh's death catching the warriors completely unprepared leaving only two men on their feet (combination of <i>Eagle Eye, Fir-Bolg and Bansidh Whispers</i>).<br />

Seeing his front line in tatters the Viking warchief orders an advance from his reserve units to reform the shield wall. The Hirdman push onto the Irish warchief again, but again the man proves himself to possess the true <i>Blood of Kings</i> and they are unable to land a blow on the man and are pushed back.<br />
<br />

<br />
Three waves of Viking warriors charge the Irish warchief but again the man proves impossible to hit and all of them are forced back while the seemingly paragon warrior is again untouched by their weapons and the bodies of his enemies begin to pile at his feet.<br />
<br />
Again the deadly Irish javelins fall upon a unit of Bondi, this time the freshly committed reserves who are left with only three men after the brutally devastating attack (another three power combination).<br />
<br />
Seeing the tide begin to turn on them the Vikings begin to pull back from the field leaving the seemingly untouchable Irish warchief in possession on the battlefield but knowing that overall he had been outmatched by the Viking force on this day.<br />

It was a great scenario to play, the undying warchiefs simply meant you were more willing to throw them around which made for some pretty exciting combats. Thankfully my one good turn of damage was enough to win me the game seven points to one, though if the battle boards had been kinder to us both who knows how it would have ended up. I think next time we play this scenario I'll have to watch out for the deadly three combination targeting my warchief rather than my warriors though which will make things a lot more interesting.<br />
<br />
I haven't made a lot of progress painting wise over the last couple of weeks, but I think I can now safely say were Christmas ready and I've got three weeks off over the holiday period so I'm hoping to make a bit of a dint in the painting queue again from here on out.Christian Torrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819173652391031731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246596063411789848.post-30032935168881458672016-11-20T20:58:00.000+10:002016-11-20T20:58:07.175+10:0020th Nov - 15th Nov Frostgrave vs TobyFinally managed to get a game in with Toby this week and we went for Frostgrave seeing as his character was falling a little behind the rest (mostly due to not managing to get on the table yet).<br />
<br />
I decided to roll up a scenario this time and got the Worm Hunt one out of the core book. It's a pretty basic one where the bands are basically just facing off against each other until a single Worm spawns, but to be fair it is a rather large, rather vicious worm. I was a bit under the weather so my note taking was sup-par at best (the bits I've managed to decipher anyways) so the write up won't be as in depth as the norm.<br />

Toby started off pretty aggressively frying one of my poor thugs with an elemental bolt. But as the game progressed I rather quickly shut the table down with Fog wall after Fog wall. I was hoping to get my wizard into combat again after my last game against Arwen but unfortunately my bragging about how powerful Christian the Humble, Thaumaturge Extraordinaire and Worker of Miracles was possibly not the best idea as his troops seemed unwilling to get within reach of the humble wizard. Of course due the number of walls of Fog up and the fact that not a single one dissipated I did managed to secure four out of the six chests taking the win.<br />

As far as the casualties went my Thug survived during the end game process dusting himself off and rejoining the warband. One of Toby's archers however as not as lucky as it is apparently a lot easier to shake off a fireball to the face than it is to survive one to the back of the head (that's right he accidentally toasted his own man) followed by a worm's digestive tract (I'm assuming the worm would quite naturally just reach down and swallow the crispy bite of a man that was just sticking it with a pointy stick) even if the creature is eventually killed by the poor souls fellow soldiers.<br />

I was nice to get something on the table against him again and hopefully we can organize another game of something soon.<br />
<br />
I've also been playing a truck load of Kingdom Death: Monster having finally opened the box from Jen (The Wife) last Christmas after we watched the <a href="http://www.beastsofwar.com/monster/play-kingdom-death-monster-lantern-year/" target="_blank">initial showdown on Beasts of War</a>. It's also taking up a fair amount of my hobby time as I've been assembling the monsters and a few variants for the survivors in our various games (three campaigns running at the moment a solo in which the settlement is as thriving as it gets in this game, a husband/wife one where we're sitting middle of the road and a family one which is barely scraping through after it's first nemesis encounter and may well disappear over the next few hunts). I'm toying with some ideas for painting them, but I'm still knocking over the Abyssal Dwarves, although I'm possibly going to be picking up a few more things I want to try out before January's tournament so they may keep me going for a few more weeks yet.<br />

I put a gloss coat on the Harley mini to start to get rid of the frosting from the initial matte coat of varnish and I decided I liked the look of her like that. Still not the best photos but I just don't seem to be having much luck getting a decent shot of her.<br />

This brings my force almost up to completion, just need to knock over two troops of Decimators and the Iron-caster on Greater Abyssal Halfbreed.<br />

I've added an extra metallic colour this time round (my original Lesser Golems can be found here). The other big difference in painting style for these guys was a black prime with a grey dusting, as well as giving them a heavier preshade after my base coat of grey. I also messed around a little to get a bit of glow effect around their eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Greater Golem follows a similar prime coat and build up of colour and shade as the lesser ones did, though I got to play around more with the glow effect in his torso cavity with the gem there and the shards on his back game me a chance to try to get a more crystalline effect. I'm pretty happy with the result though I think some of my edge line could be finer and a few of the white points are a little large.</div>

In between the finishing touches I also smashed out a comic book Harley Quinn miniature from the Batman Miniature Game for my eldest Theresa as part of her sixteenth birthday celebrations. She ended up on the cake board along to help cement the theme of the cake. I've noticed while taking the photos that my varnish coat "snowed" slightly on her so I'll give her a touch up to clear it up tomorrow if the weather holds</div>

Gaming wise my brother and I have been attempting to get together for a game or two of Kings of War but so far every time we've worked something out, something manages to come up. However my youngest Arwen and I got a game in over Sunday and Monday nights. While her army is still in the gluing stage (she is making some decent headway though) I grabbed a couple of shots anyway.</div>

We played an Invade scenario and after a brutal six turns ended in a stalemate, although Arwen did manage to get an extra seventy or so points over the line it wasn't enough for her to secure a win. We're looking at getting another game in tomorrow. I've kept my list the same as I've got a few different ideas when it comes to deployment, where as she has made a few changes to her force composition dumping a few weaker options and strengthening a couple of existing units.</div>

The Brother's going to be having a bash himself so we're looking at getting a couple of practice games in over the next couple of months. I've got a list worked out based on what I picked up in the Kickstarter plus the few bits I picked up last week from Mantic. Once I see how it plays I may end up picking up a few Dragon Ogres to use as Abyssal Grotesques or trying something using a few extra Ironcasters.<br />

I've got another troop of Lesser and a single Greater Obsidian Golems glued up now waiting for a prime coat. I've also been working on my Frostgrave plastic kits so I can get to work on them once I've cleared the Abyssal Dwarves.</div>
