Afterthoughts of my first tournament (part 2)

Welcome Back! After lunch the next pairings were drawn and I faced off against Anthony and his Sylvaneth. He brought to the table: Alarielle, 3x3 Kurnoth hunters, 2 sets of dryads, 1 set of tree revenants, a Treelord, branchwraith and 3 wyldwoods I believe.  The scenario was border war. Anthony started by deploying a wood right in the centre of my side of the table, to which i chose the opposite side to start, we deployed and he chose to go first. He summoned another wood on

Afterthoughts of my first tournament (part 1)

Hello all,   So as many of you know the last three months I have been juggling work to get an army finished for the Titans event, hosted by @Jamie Grinstead at Athena Games in Norwich. Yesterday I attended the event, which was my first dip into the waters of tournament play. This was very apt as it was the first Age Of Sigmar event that Athena Games had hosted. I am going to do a brief write up of my thoughts of the event and my impressions as a newcomer to the tournament scene. I

Hobby update 21/02/2017

Long time no see.  Things got crazy and I have neglected this blog. I am currently identifying invertebrate species for the BTO and rushing to try and meet university deadlines and juggling my finances.  This has all lead to me not doing as much here as I wanted to.  So what has been happening? Earlier in the year I set myself a few resolutions for 2017. Namely these were to attend some events, stick to painting and to become more of a community advocate. Despite the crazy stuff g

AOS28 Fluff - Episode 3 - Escape

Chapter 3 – Escape   He trembled with rage and his breath came in short angry bursts.  His shirt had been ripped off in the confrontation and he was now squatted, bare chested, over the corpse of the headless man. The small alley resembled a slaughterhouse, blood had pooled beneath the dead body and bits of brain and skull littered the area. Wjolnir had not avoided the bodily debris and was covered in what was left of the bandit’s face. His fists throbbed and ached from pummelling

AOS28 Fluff - Episode 2 - Headache

Chapter 2 – Headache   The liquor tasted like roasted almonds and burned as it slid down his throat. Wjolnir had barely touched the bottle in front of him however he had already begun perspiring and his head was swimming. He was seated in a dark corner of a dive bar called ‘The Boars Nipple’ minding his own business and considering his options. Nothing brings clarity to a man’s thoughts like his impending death. He swirled the amber liquid in his tumbler while taking a strong drag

AOS28 Fluff - Episode 1 - Dead man walking

Tornburgh is a border town. A lawless settlement where money can buy you happiness or a dagger to the kidneys, depending on who you flash your coin at. It straddles the coastal edge of the swamp kingdom of Drang, yet owes no allegiance to the citadel. Its streets are full of merchants flogging smuggled goods, Slaves being auctioned to the highest bidder, unrecognisable food stalls and ****** houses offering companionship for coin. None of this interested Wjolnir however as he fought his way thro

AoS28 Wjolnir's Retinue

Hey guys,  Recently heard about AoS28 which has completely grabbed me by the narratives. I am gonna try my hand at a small warband that I have been wanting to do for years inspired by Berserk, Junji Ito novels, Lord of the Rings and plenty of stories about heroes who fall from grace.  The story behind the warband will be about a hero who has drawn the eye of Papa Nurgle and is a reluctant minion of chaos, trying to evade nurgles messengers while battling the corrupting pestilence that

Fluff Post #4 - The Offering

Olaf pulled his cloak tightly to his breast as the wind fought to wrestle it from his grasp. His seat upon the wagon afforded him little in the way of protection from the rain and he cursed his ceremonious position for the second time that day. He had never been particularly devout, apart from in a maidens bed chambers, and had found himself thrust into his position after fathering a child with a peasant woman unworthy of his status. His noble family had removed him from the families fortune and

January round up

Welcome back folks, The first month of 2017 is coming to a close and boy has it been a productive one. For those of you just visiting, my first tournament is in early march so I am racing to have an army done in time. My new years hobby resolution was to commit myself more to the hobby and go from enthusiast to active contributor to my community, through the forums and by attending events. I would like to think I have been as helpful on the forums as possible, though championing the ho

Fluff Post #3 - No rest for the wicked

The smell of sulphur was invasive to Sigmund's nostrils as he took up a defensive stance behind the line of leadbelchers. The scratch built cannons they wielded, while obnoxious to the senses, made short work of the undead hordes marching against them. The scraps of iron and brick they spewed into the enemy hordes sent bone and armour flying with each destructive volley. His ears were ringing as the cannons were raised vertical. He and his brother bulls pushed through the retreating gunmen, crea

Fluff Post #2 - Bruma Talltongue

The square channels cut through the rough rock in the ceiling allowed four pillars of diminishing light into the dank antechamber. It was a bitter reminder of the daunting task that lay ahead after the sun had set and the blessed connection to the world above had vanished. The only luminescence would be from the crackling braziers that lined the flagstones and the occasional glint of an overly curious glow worm.  Amidst the discarded iron weapons and splintered bone sat the hulking form of

Green stuff fiddlin'

I shall warn you all now, Bad quality photos ahead. A new camera is definitely on my christmas list. Anyway, Today after lurking around the forum while ignoring the huge amount of essays I have piled up, I bumped into @HobbyHammer thread about the realmhoppers campaign and it looks amazingly fun. With that in mind I decided on starting a little destruction side project with some dodgy models I bought for dirt cheap.  It will just be a little 1k Gutbusters warband ( I am enjoying h

Less Cheese - More Freeze

After lots of thought I decided to theory craft a less cheese-tastic list for the upcoming tournament for a number of reasons: As my first tournament and having not met other players I want to make friends more than I want to win. I don't want to win matches due to a broken army rather than because I played well I want to dedicate my army to a sub faction rather than a mixed destruction army for my first tournament  With that in mind I have crafted a potential list and w

Test Model - Warchanter

I have been working on a test model for my destruction force, its an Ironjawz warchanter. Before I add the pictures lets start with the usual excuses: I'm by no means a decent painter I haven't really painted anything properly for a year The camera is pretty awful HOWEVER, that being said, I really do feel like this is very indicative of my skill level at painting. It wasn't rushed, this really is me working hard on a figure and I am pretty proud of the results.
