http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLEqMhP76mE

The is the second game in a four game campaign. I brought Saeryn out to play this time against Phil’s Baldur list. The winner of this 25pt game would get a free Feralgeist in each of the subsequent games (this doesn’t impact theme forces) as well as campaign points, so there is something to fight [...]

Power-sliding Alpha Strikes!

I always enjoy bringing Karchev out to play. He’s a fun warcaster with an aggressive play style. Last night Gerry and I played a 35pt game that pitted Absylonia and the man in the machine against each other. We played the Command and Control scenario, but once I clogged the control zone with ‘jacks it [...]

Absylonia vs Mortenebra (35pts; Both Tier 4!)

This game was Mangled Metal/Tooth and Claw on steroids. I brought my newly converted Absylonia out to play and Peter fielded Mortenebra. We played The Gauntlet scenario with armies that were full of heavies. Peter’s list had a Ripjaw, Deathjack, 2 Slayers and a Leviathan with a handful of support solos. My list comprised four [...]

Converting and Painting Absylonia (Video)

I think one of the reasons Absylonia has sat unpainted for so long is that I detest the original model. In this video I talk about the conversion I did and how I painted the model. Owen

Annihilation in the Rustwood – Game 1

Phil wrote up an excellent campaign (based on my ANNIHILATION campaign rules) that we began playing through last night. It pitches Legion and Circle against each other in a struggle for control of the Rustwood, a traditional stronghold of the Orboros druids. The area has strategic importance to Everblight as his forces seek to keep [...]

Legion of Everblight Raptors: Complete

Last month’s Lost Hemisphere “Paint the Target” challenge was to paint a full unit. I was thinking about painting my Raptors until I looked at all of hose pieces of pewter in early July and decided that assembling them was going to be too much hassle. I was busy with work and home life (2 [...]

Steamroller Tournament Report (24th July 2011)

Last weekend Stu organised a 35pt Steamroller tournament in Gamers World (Dublin). It was well attended with 16 players and a good spread of factions. Below is the defining moment of the tournament for me. It was in the final game, Tomek’s beautiful pGaspy army clashed with my Strakhov led force and both armies were [...]

Harkevich, what is he good for?

I’ve been testing Harkevich recently and so far I’m not impressed. I’m trying him out for a tournament that’s coming up on Sunday, but I’ve yet to figure out what he’s good at. Part of his feat and the Broadside spell are obviously intended for ranged ‘jacks, but therein lines the problem. The Khadoran ‘jacks [...]
