Terrain Work - Trenches, Part 6 - Command Trench Finished

Jeff at Hobbytown USA helped me finish my trench after I finished building it. Here it is in all its glory. I can't wait to play games on it tomorrow at the Wrath event in Chicago. I get to visit my friends in Chicago and get to play my first game ever against Seraphsong! This will be a great time.

Terrain Work - Trenches, Part 5

Continuing along with my Command Trench from Part 4, I've added Sculptamold to the sides. It was interesting to work with it for the first time on a terrain project, but I'm going to be using it for anything that needs dirt on it because it does so well with adding depth with no real work. After that, I put more ballast on the sides. I need to clean it up a bit and glue more ballast down, but I think I'm at a good spot at the moment. I have to figure out what I want to do for painting next

Terrain Work - Trenches, Part 4

I'm working on new trenches for the Wrath event and the Unbound scenario that requires them. The first one I'm working on is a 5"x8" trench with two open sides. I've also made a 5"x8" trench that was fully surrounded, but I haven't planked that one yet.

Battle Report: Cryx vs Skorne

I ended up playing Warwitch Deneghra vs Void Seer Mordikaar at 50 points last night. The main consensus I can get from the game is that my opponent can't roll dice and that Warwitch Deneghra's feat is just cruel when it hits the entire army. I ended up getting Nightmare on Mordikaar under Mordikaar's feat turn, still did some damage, but couldn't kill him. Deneghra's feat prevented any retaliation from anything in his army. He placed his warbeasts too far apart and on the flanks while my army just moved in on the weak side of his army. Gorman di Wulfe died to protect Nightmare from a possible charge from a Bronzeback. I'm not sure if the Bronzeback could have still made it with Beat-Back and Rush (not in that order). We played Revelation and my army pretty much swarmed Flag #1 to keep my opponent from scoring. I ended up winning because I scored one point and had a free turn of attacking Mordikaar with Nightmare with Mordikaar not having any fury.

Painted Warwitch Siren

This is my third painted Warwitch Siren. I own three specifically for Unbound games and Warwitch Deneghra's Theme Force Witching Hour. That army requires 3 for the list I made, so I wanted to make sure I had them. By finishing this model, I finished the Theme Force (which will be another post later this week).

Project: Weird Science

My friend Michael and I came up with a crazy idea: field an army of all Stormsmith type models. This was prompted by my purchase of two Storm Striders, Privateer Press' newest battle engine. They are wicked cool, and I can't wait to field both in the army.
The first iteration of the idea wasn't strictly Stormsmiths, I had the following list. It was just a generic attempt to utilize the Storm Striders in a pair, at 35 points.
  • General Adept Nemo
    • Firefly
    • Stormclad
    • Squire
  • Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team
  • Storm Strider
  • Storm Strider
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
Michael suggested then to drop the Black 13th for more Stormsmith stuff, so we generated the following 35 point list that is the idea of the Project.
  • General Adept Nemo
    • Firefly
    • Stormclad
    • Squire
  • Storm Strider
  • Storm Strider
  • Stormsmith Storm Tower
  • Stormsmith Storm Tower
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
Now that list has more delicious electric goodness! It also looks like a blast to play!
I then wanted to make it 50 points just in case someone decided to challenge me to that type of game at the store.
  • General Adept Nemo
    • Firefly
    • Stormclad
    • Thunderhead
    • Squire
  • Captain Arlan Strangewayes
  • Storm Strider
  • Storm Strider
  • Stormsmith Storm Tower
  • Stormsmith Storm Tower
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
Sure, the list has some terrible matchups (an all electric immune army, which would be similar to this one, would be sucky to play against). It just looks like a ton of fun to shoot that much lightning around!

Here's a picture of the list in progress. I own everything, just didn't have it all with me when the photo was taken. The second Storm Strider is still in progress of assembly.
