Break!

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.
