Hey all! I'm making this blog as a continuation to my posts Here .I'm newer to the forum and didn't realize that I could simply create a blog instead of taking up space on the Destruction sub-forum. So here I am, and with my total lack of blogging know how I suppose I'll start this off with a bit about how we got to this point.
I started playing fantasy about a year or 2 before the death of the old world, and while I, like any other fantasy player, mourned the loss of a very enjoyable (if not somewhat flawed) system, I didn't waste time being bitter and went out to buy the AoS starter. I've always been bigger into the modelling and painting aspects of the GW systems than the games themselves, so the gorgeous new Bloodbound and Stormcast sculpts really called out to me. After buying the starter and painting up all the Stormcasts within, my ever wandering eyes turned to some new game or model and my enthusiasm waned. Sadly the rest of my local gaming community shared my lack of enthusiasm for AoS, many being old GW hands that were either embittered by time or monetary constraints. Eventually though the Ironjawz battletome was released and the fires of enthusiasm were stoked again.
I've always been a huge fan of Orcs (my main toon from my WoW days was an Orc, as was my 1st DnD character), and I've always lamented the fact that I was too broke to start a Fantasy O&G army, and that 40k Orks are just too bad to ever warrant the expenditure on the army. With the release of the Ironjawz I had a force that not only looked sufficiently Orky ,but could punch things just like I like my army's to (I'm excessively aggressive in pretty much every game I play, loving to roll dice in big combats rather than think about what I'm going to do, and my win rate attests to that). Now all we needed was a motivation to buy and paint these guys asides from simple collection. My prayers were answered a few months later with the announcement of an official point system for AoS and a resurgence in interest at my LGS. The rest I hope to chronicle in this blog, I've started to buy kits to build up the force, and have recently finished the 1st, and centerpiece model, in the army, a Megaboss on Maw-Crusha.
So feel free to join me as my WAAAAAGHHHHH! increases, as I hopefully will be posting updates and finished models frequently.
WAAAAGH! on,
Snugs
