Finals are over! Know what that means? Painting and gaming, ah yeah! Now that I don't have to worry about school, I have much more time for more important things. Hordes!
Got in a 35 point, four player, free for all game tonight with theummhmmguy over at troolbloodscrum playing Trolls (surprise), and two other friends playing Legion and Skorne. My list:
pKaya +6(yes you read that right Primal Kaya)
Warpwolf Stalker -10
Gnarlhorn -8
Gorax -4
Min Wolves of Orboros -4
Min Bloodtrackers + Nuala -7
Min Wolfriders -6
Druid Wilder -2
So I played pKaya because she was my favorite caster in Mk1 and I thought I would giver her another shot. Spirit door is still fantastic, just no longer broken. Soothing song lets you run your beasts really hot which can be good. Spirit fang is decent at a rng 10 pow 12, and giving something stealth with occultation is just fun. All in all I was not disappointed and plan on playing her more.
The Gnarlhorn was the MVP of this game. He killed pDoomy and Xerxis by slamming an Earthborn Dire Troll and a Titan Cannoneer over there respective Warlocks, following up and pounding them into pulp. It was pretty fantastic. Though I will say that getting Doomy was lucky because there were three Kriel Warriors in the way. But the Legion player saw fit to go after them with his Hex Hunters and ended up clearing the lane I needed.
I haven't played the Wolves of Orboros for months and I'm not sure why. They are so great! They hit pretty hard with a CMA charge, as Rhyas found out when she died.
Going to have to be more wary of the Hex Hunters though. Three of them took out the Stalker (at full health) and Nuala in one activation ( I forgot to reform).
That's all I got for now, maybe I'll write a battle report for this game but don't get your hopes up, cause I'm not promising anything. :)

More "The Fourth Wilder"
If you haven't read the most recent update, go read it NOW! Holy freaking crap it's amazing. Let me know if anybody also thinks that Salestria is similar to Kaya, I'm not the only one thinking that right?

8 hours at a part time job = BORED
The title says it all. I was sitting at my part time job today bored out of my mind, so I started to list a few things I would purchase if I had the cash. I think you'll notice a pattern here...
Fennblades, Burrowers Blisters x2, Bushwhackers, FoH Trollbloods, Earthborne Dire Troll, Bomber, Grim Angus, Swamp Troll, Gunbjorn, Wolf Lord Morraig, Wolves of Orboros Blisters x2, Bloodtracker Blisters x2, Reeves of Orboros, Epic Kaya, War Wolves x2, Skinwalkers (max), Tharn Wolfriders x2, Bloodweavers (max), Morvhana the Autumnblade.
That would cost a good chunk of change, according to The War Store it would total at 416.76! Scrolling through the Circle and Troll models only made me realize how much I missed to, so in reality that total is easily over 500 bucks... probably closer to 600 or 700. Lets just round up, who wants to give me a grand to spend on Hordes and various other things. Like paint and foam for all of those models :)
Yeah, this post is pretty un-fulfilling and doesn't have much depth. Just something to pass the time is all. What with the semester about to end, you can more than likely look forward to more of this. I don't envy any of you!

Since the last post...
Baldur beheaded Bethane in a tier 4 fight.
The Champions killed Xerxis in a team game.
Tough roll percentage plummeted. Dang.
The Baldur list I ran included tow units of Stoneward Woldstalkers which I had never used before and didn't get to use much in this game, as they died very early. I must point out that Baldurs tier 4 benefits are ridiculous. Oh all my beasts now have advance deploy, yes please thank you very much. Oh my shifting and sentry stones now can deploy 20 inches, fantastic! The Woldsatlkers even get advance move. As I said deployment is a sight for this list: the bottom line of dice is regular deployment, the red beads mark advance deploy, the green comet tokens are the 20 inch line for the stones. It's pretty awesome!
The Champions only finished off Xerxis. My teammate pg_theummhummguy dragged Xerxis in with a swamp troll (which he received beautifully painted in the fig exchange) and couldn't quite kill him so I finished the last 7 points of damage which means I'm claiming the kill :)
Gave Mike his fig for the exchange, a Helldiver Bone Jack. Should probably have taken a picture, I'll see if I can get one. I received Nuala the Huntress as my fig with a beautiful paint job. Which I cant put a picture up because my phone is terrible at taking good detailed pictures, I'll see if I can find something.
That's about all for now. I just need to figure out what to do for the Slow Grow that's coming up, and now I paint.

Been out of action for a bit
Sorry for the lapse in posting, but that kinda happens when you let your roommate borrow your computer, and you coincidentally end up with 25 virus’s on your computer, but he has no idea where they came from. I won’t go into too much detail cause quite a bit happened so I’ll just highlight some of the things that happened in my posting absence.
1. I picked up eMadrak and the Dygmies from the FLGS.
2. Attended JohnCon hosted by MenothJohn.
Played: Kthulu Dice which is quite a fun party game, a game called Chaos (I think) where my deity was the Prince of Pleasure, Gran Turismo 5, Cryx, and got multiple achievements including on for getting John a beer. Good times!
Things I learned: Argus combo strike is awesome! The Tharn Wolfriders are way more awesome than I remember, and Warmachine is a whole different animal.
3. Painted an Argus and the Gorax, basecoated a Woldwarden and a Woldgaurdian.
4. FoH: Circle of Orboros came out!
Need to get: Morraig, Bloodweavers, Skinwalkers, and Woldstalkers for theme forces.
Double up on: Druids (triple?), Wolves of Orboros, Tharn Bloodtrackers for tiers also.
I have never before been interested in Morvhana but reading her fluff lately and seeing her theme force has me intrigued.
Not sure what to think of Cassius, haven’t even picked him up yet.
5. I got Towers of Midnight!
Brandon Sanderson is an amazing writer and I am happy to say I have met him.
Rand isn’t all angsty and a whiny bitch anymore.
And that about sums up what has happened. Some things that are coming up
1. Slow growth league starts in January, its paint as you go and we are officially allowed to start painting so as soon as it’s a warm enough day to prime I will start on my trolls.
2. Finals week, can’t wait for this semester to end!
3. Christmas. Hope this doesn’t sneak up on anybody.
Final notes
1. Anybody not listening to Lost Hemisphere Radio should start immediately!
2. Check on the Fourth Wilder I haven’t been able to look yet but I am willing to bet the next part is up. If not, pester Brandubh till he writes more :) Link is in the side bar, go now!
If the formatting ends up being terrible I apologize, I tried typing this in Microsoft Word and copying it over which doesn't work out so well.

And Stuff...
So as recently stated, I have started Trollbloods. Played my first games with them tonight and loved them both, even though I lost both. But that comes with the new army. The first game was against Cygnar, which I lost because I was full on my beasts and couldn't transfer. My opponent even gave me the "moral victory" cause he knew he was sunk.
The second game was a three way batllebox game against the same Cygnar player and a Skorne player. Madrak decapitated Morghul then died to an arc node, Cygnar wins again.
Lovin the Trolls so far. Tough is awesome and I went 4 for 7 on the checks tonight, will try to keep an ongoing tally of those. We are doing a slow-growth league starting in January, but get to start painting for it in a week or two, will see if I can get a camera for pictures.
Cheers!

This is the "and stuff"
I love the Wheel of Time. I recently started reading The Knife of Dreams again, and I forgot how much I enjoy reading this series. Robert Jordan is a great writer and Brandon Sanderson will keep the series at the top. Towers of Midnight just came out and unfortunately I haven't been able to get it yet, and probably wont for two weeks. After this there is only one more book till the end and it's been quite the ride. For those who haven't read this series, I would highly recommend it.
In other Hordes-news, I picked up a Trollblood battle box, so I will have them to write about now which will also constitute the "and stuff" part of this blog.

The Fourth Wilder
Since I couldn't find my Circle story and I recently found a better one I figured I would share it.
It is a story about a girl named Salestria who is recruited/rescued by, I believe my favorite Omnipotent, Mohsar the Desert Walker. This story is very very well written by a man known as Brandubh in the Privateer Press forums, and can be found here or in the Linky section. Pleasant reading all.

Not to be found.
The Circle story I wrote was not to be found. I searched everywhere in my computer for it, crashed windows explorer multiple times, and didn't find anything close.
In other news we finished up the League at my FLGS tonight, and though I wasn't even close to winning the league, I did win the closing tournament!
It was a 35 point attack or defend scenario, cant remember the name, three control points were spread along the defenders deployment zone. The attacker got a point for each control point he controlled at the end of the game, while the defender got one for each cp they controlled at the end but also could earn one by killing the enemy caster/lock. If the defender wins the round they defend the same table against a new opponent.
My lists:
pKrueger +5
Wolwarden -9
Feral Warpwolf -9
Pureblood Warpwolf -9
Druids / UA -7/-2
Shifting Stones -2
Blackclad Wayfarer -2
Baldur +6
Feral Warpwolf -9
Megalith -11
Woldgaurdian -9
Shifting Stones / UA -2/-1
Tharn Bloodtrackers min -5
Lord of the Feast -4
I ended up using the pKrueger list every round.
First round I play against Protectorate of Menoth for the first time ever. The only things I remember from his list are:
Caster = The Harbringer
Avatar
Some other light jack
4ish solos
lots and lots of infantry
I ended up winning on turn 2 with a caster kill and 4 control points when he ran Harbringer up to far to tie up the druids. I geomancied chain lighting into the solos twice and he martyred multiple times Harbringer taking 5 damage total. Then Pureblood sprays a solo catching the Harbringer for all but one last damage which Krueger took care of with his feat.
Round to was against Circle his list as I can remember:
pKrueger
Feral WW
Woldwarden
2x Argus' (Argi?)
min Wolves of Orboros
shifting stones
sentry stone
He killed my Feral with his charging Feral on turn 2. Those amazing dice stayed with him the whole game and mine whiffed continually. I still managed to keep him away from the cp's and eventually dice down was called without him ever contesting one so I got the 3 cp's
last round was against Cryx:
Caster = Unknown but it was a chick with base armor 20 I think but I may be wrong
an arc node
a heavy amphibious jack with ghost shot
another jack not sure if it was light or heavy
lots of infantry
This game saw Krueger, the pureblood,and the blackclad all mow through a lot of infantry but his caster also was at armor 23 when I tried to kill her so that failed. He ended up Shooting Krueger without contesting a cp just to end it so I got the last 3 points for the win.
The last game was kind of anti-climactic I know but I'm not complaining
I will try to get more information on my opponents lists and post them later.

Whiff
Well my first rambling into blogging was a complete and utter fail. Lets see if I can actually follow through this time.
Note: this is not a promise that I will follow through :)
I will try to find a terrible Circle based story I wrote for a class fall semester of last year and post that, at least that will be something on this page for you to read other than the nonsense so far.

New to blogging
Alright I'm giving the whole blogging scene a shot. As soon as I take some pictures of my models I have painted/am painting I will post them and I will work on a story and battle reports, lord knows I have the free time for this so I will try to provide you people something to do in yours.
Cheers!
Cheers!
