Last Sunday I played in my first Hardcore event. It was a 50pt tournament over three rounds. I decided to break out my new toys and fielded a list where almost every model hasn’t seen tournament play before. Here’s my list – Forward Kommander Sorscha – WJ: +6 Sylys Wyshnalyrr, The Seeker: 2 Beast 09: [...]

John Foster ran a great tournament in Belfast yesterday and a bunch of us from the Dublin area travelled up for it. I used the lists I posted last week, but had mixed success with them. The format was a four round 25pt tournament with a second list being optional. It was a really fun [...]

Here’s the story of my preparation and the games over the weekend… if you can’t be bothered reading it all you can [...]

Myself and Harry had a great game last night. My Saeryn led Legion of Everblight faced off against Mordikaar and his ‘hard to kill’ Skorne horde. We played the SR2011 Destruction scenario in preparation for a tournament at the weekend. Here’s the video – Owen

This year is turning into the year of the campaign! I decided that I wanted to rebalance my painting and playing as I was finding I had many miniatures painted that had seen very little tabletop time. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy painting in its own right, but upon reflection I didn’t think I [...]

The idea behind this is pretty simple. Campaigns usually fail because they involve too many players and take too long to play. I wanted a campaign that wasn’t going to fall into those traps. Enter the idea of a narrative campaign. It’s simply a story arc to house several smaller campaigns. The Orgoth Legacy is [...]

I’ve had a good couple of months practice with the Privateers and I think I have a pretty good handle on how they operate. My order of activation is working, well, most of the time and I rarely trip over myself too much. I managed to get two final practice games in on Tuesday ahead [...]

Yesterday was a funny kind of Father’s Day… I didn’t see my daughter at all! She was staying with her grandparents on Saturday night and I was off playing little soldiers when she was brought home and put to bed. That said, it was still an awesome day. I played two multi-player games for the [...]

I got my first two Blasted Heath league games under my belt tonight. Harry came out to the house to pit his Skorne against my Cryx. I decided I’d give Cryx a go in the league as they are my third faction (behind Khador and Legion) and they haven’t received a whole lot of attention [...]
