Game #11 Soulblight vs Sons of Behemat

AoS 3.0 Game #11 August 17th, 2021 @ Old Dice Wargaming Club Soulblight Gravelords (Vyrkos) vs. Sons of Behemat Battleplan: Tectonic Interference(1500) Soulblight Gravelords Army List Deployment Top of Round 1: Soulblight I had a one drop deployment list for this small 1500 point game and I decided to go first. On my turn I just moved onto all the objectives and chose Aggressive Expansion as my battle tactic. I had zombies and skeletons on the left flank

Game #10 Soulblight vs. Seraphon

AoS 3.0 Game #10 August 15th, 2021 @ Old Dice Wargaming Club Soulblight Gravelords (Vyrkos) vs. Seraphon (Thunderlizards) Battleplan: Tooth and Nail (2000pts) Soulblight Gravelords Army List Deployment It looks like we made a mistake in deployment, we should be 9" away from each other's territory, so we're both a bit closer than we should be to each other, though I don't think it made much of an impact on the game since we both deployed with this misunderstan

Vindenspite: WiP Crimson Guard and the Frostqueen

So whilst for Vindenspite we have the wonderful crimson watch, the deadly gunslinging sisterhood of elite shooters their numbers just aren't enough to fill out the entire armed forces for Vindenspites attack and defence, and the Chosen and Silent Ones are far fewer in number still, as such the bulk of the Vindennian armies are filled by those of the Crimson Guard, all the brave, daring or downright crazy soldiers who train in different roles to create a well rounded force, though most of Vindens

Musings and Army Planning - Dragon Ogors and Monsters Oh My

My current 2000 pt army was built for v2 to be semi-competitive while still using Dragon Ogors and monsters where possible. Nessessities of keeping them competitive meant that I couldn't have too many of what I really loved. I always played with 6 Dragon Ogors (sometime as one unit, sometimes two), a Shaggoth, and an Ghorgon. The rest was mostly Bestigors, ungor raiders, and some support because that was what was actually good. I did fairly well with that army, especially considering how bad

Game #12 Soulblight vs Ogor Mawtribes

AoS 3.0 Game #12 August 17th, 2021 @ Old Dice Wargaming Club Soulblight Gravelords (Vyrkos) vs. Ogor Mawtribes Battleplan: Savage Gains (2000pts) Soulblight Gravelords Army List I got to play a new opponent today who was rocking another Ogor Mawtribes list, which seems to be a particularly popular faction here in Korea (in fact, it seems like the Korean players favor big monster lists/armies in general). We rolled Savage Gains as the battleplan for the game and I chose

My first turn was fairly un-eventful as I pretty much just cast my spells and moved slightly forwards, just enough to get onto the objectives.

Battle Report: Swirling Objectives

Vigug, the Brey-Shaman led the vanguard of the Breyherd out to meet Cuchulag. His knowing eye revealed to him that this would be the place they would need to capture and hold to collect the primordial forces. He set up the herdstone for he know the dreaded knights of Sigmar would be here soon. He'd heard rumors that Sigmar, in his vain attempt to thwart the natural laws of chaos has created yet more upgrades to his mindless undead servants. Then they arrived, sure enough. A small detachment

The Herd Expands!

I started this Blog a couple years ago when I first started building a BoC army. I'm doing another slow grow league and using it to finally paint the rest of the army and learn how to play in the v3 rules. I'll post progress and battle reports here as I go. This time.around, I have most of the models built but not painted so that will be the focus. We are also using Anvil of Apotheosis. My character is Cuchulag, a Beastlord on chariot, inspired by the Irish Celt legend, Cuchulain H

CoS Project - Vindenspite - The Crimson Watch and the Silent Ones

The Crimson Watch Amongst the various soldiers of fortune and swashbuckling warriors in Vindenspite there is one regiment that stands above all others in both renown and skill, the Crimson Watch. The Crimson Watch is a sisterhood whose origins date back to the founding of Vindenspite, a single squad of Aelves who were the loyal retinue of the Frostqueen herself. This sisterhood train using rifles that magically enhance their shot with flame and frost, working to unleash their volleys with d

Battle Report 3.0: Skaven vs. Ironjawz - "Vice" Battleplan

Hey ya'll. I've got a fun one for ya. Lets get started. First off we have the armies: First off is my friend's Orruk Warclans with a few units of Gloomspite friends. This was my opponent's 1st(?) game with 3.0 and was using their books for point values. So no hard feelings being at a 100 pt disadvantage here. Straight-forward list, the Savage Cabbage is gonna be unleashed and rush the board. This is why I love Destruction. Now for the Skaven. Things I wanted to try out with th

CoS Project - Vindenspite: The Chosen

Within the city of Vindenspite there are occasions when those who are chosen by the Glimmergate emerge victorious, having made it through to the Frostflame glade and been forever changed by their experience. These individuals emerge back into the city wielding a mastery over either fire or ice alongside a powerful elemental beast that has formed an inseparable bond with them. These warriors are magically sworn to an oath of silence, never being able to speak and risk giving away the secrets of t

Chaos Knights rebasing

Getting started on the Knights, real life stuff has put a hold on em but getting them along. Ive taken some shots of the basing steps. I much prefer proper large Bottle cork opposed to the flaky sheet cork often seen in dollar stores. The bases are designed around the specific horse they work with, numbered on the bottoms. I use carpenters glue with a long needle tube tip to get it under and around skulls and rocks. After extracting from the sandbox and shaking,

CoS Project - Vindenspite - Initial Lorecrafting

Vindenspite Magical gateway city of ageless swashbucklers This wonderful city name and tagline was gained from Army Name Generator - Cities of Sigmar — Realm of Plastic and once I saw it I knew it would be an amazing fit for working off lore for my next project, the project that started off simply as 'Aelves with guns'. I have put together some initial lore ideas on this city which will be cleaned up and expanded upon in later entries as I continue on this project. Vindenspit

Stage 2 of the project is completing the fleshhounds (old conversions and new set), Kharnak, and basing my Insensate Rage Thirster's base. Here is the progress shots of the soon to be decently completed doggos: In case I bother to run a slaughterpriest (likely) or a Bloodsecrator (unlikely) had these for a good while: In the back (Thirster) ive been finalizing his base along with the dogs: My planning for the project is in stages: Stage 1 : 6 skullcrushers

Khorne Cavalry Army for AoS 3.0

khorne Intro, and First 6 Skullcrushers+characters

Hi there. Let me start by saying I've always been a fan of Khorne, way back to WHFB 5 when I first got into fantasy. I also have an extensive 40k collection, mostly Khornate Chaos CSM, Daemons etc. Figured AoS will be easier to get into post COVID compared to 40K 9th, and already a huge fan of Warcry. I had some skullcrushers waiting around for this eventuality, and got some more for the project. Here is some of the skullcrusher progress, starting with some second-hand recently

Mini Army Shot

So the horde is gathering nicely, and I thought I'd post a mini-army shot of the models I've finished so far. I'm now over halfway towards having a completed 1000 pt Vyrkos dynasty force to start playing some games with. This is the list I'm working towards as my first milestone: - Radukar the Beast - Belladamma Volga - 2 units of 10 dire wolves (+1 extra unit summoned by Radukar's command ability) - 5 Blood Knights This comes to 980 pts total. Of this, I now have 2

Mother has arrived!

What self-respecting force of bloodsucking wolfkin is complete without a wizened old dame riding a spurned ex-lover to lead them? I generally hate painting fur (Nagash knows why I chose a wolfy faction for my army), so last knight I sat down with the intention of forcing myself to get the wolves on this model started. 7-8 hours later I found that I'd basically finished the model. It's such a good sculpt full of nice hidden details and I literally couldn't put my brush down. Like Radikar, I

Blood Knights Tester Model

I've finished the first tester model for my blood knights scheme. I went for a similar overall scheme to the studio army but with purple barding. I'm still not 100% sold on it so I'd be really grateful to hear some feedback before I commit and paint the other 4. I may go for a very dark red/brown colour for the barding instead.

The Pack Gathers

The first battleline unit for my new force is now complete; a unit of 10 dire wolves. These little critters were a really quick paint, which is a relief as I have to do 30 of 'em for my 1000 pt starter force. To keep things simple, I followed the suggested recipe from the battletome painting section, with a couple of tweaks: Fur: Chaos Black undercoat, drybrushed with Skavenblight dinge and Stormvermin fur. A final very light drybrush n the manes and tails with Celestra Gre
