So the
national league is quite simple. 4 different groups run each of their own
league, but we compare points across for national winners besides locale
winners. Hopping to do a little more support for new players across the country
and bringing everyone a little closer to each other.
I’m playing
across three different league – They all run by the self, so not much work
there. I haven’t gotten a lot of games in or painted a lot. I started cryx for
the league and I choose to go with the alternative battlebox, because it seams
more interesting. I had already painted the Denegraha battlebox and used it in
a couple of intro games and she is great, no arguing there but I was more
excited about fielding the leviathan than the slayer – So the Iron Lich has
found his way to the battle field.
We are in
the end of the 3ed week and I have only gotten 5 games in, all in the first
week. I’m quite sad about this because I have been looking forward to getting
the league going. Hopefully I will get a couple of games in next week.
My first
game was against GR – He has done some Khador which most of you have properly
already seen. I have tried to get GR interested in Warmachine/Hordes for some
time, but he is struggling with the learning curve. In our game he actually
surprised me with throwing my night wrench after Gaspy and trying to finish him
off with the decimater. But he left Gaspy with 2 boxes and the next couple of
turns went with shredding Khador jacks. GR played great, he learned a lot.
My second
game was against a guy down at the LGS – He usually playes Retribution of
Scryrah but has but some Convergeance of Cyriss stuff for the league. Pretty
standard Gaspy moves – Parasite on a light jack and then the leviathan kills it
– And then we move on to the next one. The game gets a little problematic do to
Reconstruct. I had not been careful enough with my placing which made it
possible for him to place his reconstructed Inverter where I didn’t have a got
chance of taking it out. He retaliates and takes out my lights, but the
leviathan wouldn’t go down so the Inverter gets the levithans claw.
Third game
was against one of my great friends, who has decided to put Skorne on hold and
get on with his Farrow army. He is guite comfortable in his game plan – but on
my second turn my leviathan takes out one of his gunboars like it is nothing.
Couple of turns later Gaspy himself finishes of the War Hog and spell slings
the last gunboar to death.
Fourth game
is against another great friend – He usually plays Cygnar, but have been
dreaming about a Rhulic force for some time, and since he just bought a unit of
Forgeguard for his Cygnar he might as well start playing Searforge commision
for the league.
The games
quickly goes south and my last chance is Gaspy trying to spellsling Gorten to
death leaving him south of 5 boxes.
The last
game was against a guy from the local gaming club – I gave him a couple of
intro games earlier this year and he has gotten quite into Khador since. His
playing the Sorcha battlebox and I get to play very defensively hiding my
leviathan behind a wall shooting at parasite jacks until it and Gaspy charges
into finish it off.
So that was
a little about the games – My second week addition was Aiakos and a Necrotech.
The plan was for Aiakos to take over the Levithan letting it get better
movement from Escort and lots of focus for shooting things dead. This week I
have planned to add a full unit of bane knights and bane lord Tartarus. I’m
hoping to get a lot out of vengeance since most people don’t have the tools to
wipe out 10 banes in a single turn.
On the
painting side of Cryx is moving slowly forward, hopefully accelerating a little
doing the next week. I got my first model done last week and I decided to start
with what I am worst at getting done – painting facings on the bases. So I
started with building a hell lot of bases and airbrushing some nice green glow
on the back facing, so now that is done for now. I’m not smart enough to have taken any pictures of it, but
you can see a little on the bane knight picture.
First of is
the leviathan – The first and only model done, still needing facing on its base
– Curses.
It’s quite
different from how I usually paint, but I am quite psyched about this project
and to day a put together a unit of bane knights and the Bane Lord and got the work done with the
airbrush.
Most of the
groundwork is done for my 25 point army, hoping to finish it on Monday, but the
weekend is quite packed already.
Hope you
enjoyed the read
Cheers
