 Game one down and it was nuts as expected.  Here's the list I took. The plan was to take hunters to jam up the inevitable frostfangs and sit in the terrain with some boomers to supplement the warlock shooting. Siege Breakers to just wander up and sit there. Nomagarok had sent his apprentices to the opening skirmishes to test the enemy's strength and blood his acolytes in battle.  Troop Red Goblin Scouts 2 Boomer Hordes Warriors with 2 handed weapons 2 Hunter Hordes Berzerker Brave Regiment 3 Ogre Warlocks with DL, one with conj staff, one with Amulet of fireheart, one insp Talisman A army standard with the Lute Kuzlo and Mad fall The Varangur eschewed the use of a mage in favour of hordes of northmen both mounted and on foot. Units of Cavalry marshalled by a Lord astride a mighty frostfang deployed on either flanks. The unruly infantry accompanied by their hunting foxes held the middle ground and advanced.   The ogres deployed to the East of the tap house and s...

 Intro After a couple of false starts over the years I finally made it to an event hosted by Bexley Reapers. chucking my freshly painted Ogre pirate units into the car I set off for 4 games of Kings of War accompanied by access to a slightly insane event only Special Character in the form of Davy Jones.  If you want an expert   assessment of the lists on offer look no further than one provided by Troll Cast here .  I took the usual mix of an infantry block in the form of two siege breakers supported by a pair of warlocks and some boomers to help manage the back field and clear chaff. These also had the insurance policy of a blaster to hide behind them. Then a bunch of hard hitting things that could operate on their own, provide a threat and generally look for flanks or just go and die.  Accompanying this rat tag bunch of pirates and to fit in with the theme of the Davy Jones and pirates I took a regiment of pirate scarecrows and a shade represented by an animate...

Well, this is a little awkward. Still no content from me but Mat's put together a battle report using the Universal Battle online application. It's a great way to learn new things, play lists that you've dreamt up and generally make your mistakes. It'll never replace pushing toy soldiers about and rolling dice but it's sometimes a more convenient thing. As luck would have it there are a couple of "how to" guides for UB here: from Matt at Hobby Sauce : HERE and a link on how to play by email from Steve at Death By dragons: HERE Pitting Mat's Berzerker heavy, historicals themed list against Elliot's Wave of Elemental fuelled Trident Realm. they're playing a 1495 point game of Kings of War 3ed ed and the scenario is invade Lists Mat's gone heavy on attacks and low defence with plenty of supporting fast cav chaff. Elliot's put a whole heap of eggs into a surge based list with a Kraken for staying power.     W...

Game one of the Campaign for the crew of the skinned elf was against the Northern Alliance's Black Order. The pair of scouting parties had tracked down a massive walking monstrosity and would set out to do their best to irritate by a thousand cuts.  The Ogres set out to war with: Ogre Sgt, Jock Wrekham - Heavy Weapon, bandages Warlock, Grakem'Goroth - Lucky charm Siege Breaker, Horny Hagrath Warrior, Chef Rotgut Mauler Warrior, One eye'd Grok Brave, M'Goor'Gn'Throg Brave, G'Throg N'Gorog Goblin Rabble, Scroat - Spear The Northerners formed up with: Thegn - Rare Mount, Heavy Weapon Hurscal - Common Mount, Heavy Weapon Hruscal - Common Mount, Heavy Weapon Ice Queen - Helm of command Elf clansman Elf clansman Elf clansman Ice Kin Hunter - bodkin arrow, long bow As per the scenario the giant set up in the centre of the board, the pirates in two distinct bands with the braves, siege breaker and warlock on the left and the others...

Another trip North of the river to the South East Gaming hotspot that is Aycliffe Drive Primary School. Well into their stride now at hosting events Paul and Mat had managed to gather their biggest crowd yet for the charity doubles fund raiser. Same drill as before, 1000pts per player and one inspiring character can be shared and become very inspiring. No allies and only one artefact of each type per army.  A change from the norm I took my ogres as I had 1000pts just about painted up and dabbled with a few lists including taking Grok but in the end figured three big blocks of Ogres and a couple of characters to do the smashing would be best. I took: Grokagomaok Finest Braves A horde of Boomers with headstrong A horde of warriors A boomer Sergeant Nomagorak A Biggit on a fleabag with the blade of slashing  These were supported by my double's partner bringing: A horde of archers with piercing,  A BSB A dragon Lord A Horde of drakons A Dragon Breath I...
