Here Be Pirates

A New Challenge Just over a year after starting up the Trident Realm army and making up to enough options for 2500 of painted models I finally have something I can use without having to panic about painting when entering to a tournament. It means I can take my time and look to the next challenge. I have always wanted to use my older Citadel ogres and maintain a constant affinity with goblins; combining this with the allies I have been using in my Trident Realm the choice seemed pretty simple. Pros I have a stack of ogre minis Low model count means I can up my paint game I already have a couple of units painted Pirates could be a great theme Goblins are great I managed to pick up Kazloo and Madfall as a tournament prize There are Black Scorpion Goblins available I can finally use that Giant I got with Vanguard Cons I'd like to try and keep my GW Ogres on Square bases It's another list with zero fliers It's a another (potentially) lower footpri

Another Day of Battle! Fresh of the back of the Doubles even frying my brain the singles started back at Darksphere. Same drill as before but it felt a lot more people and I'm not sure why but a faint air of hushed competitiveness. 4 games, two of 1500 at 40mins and 2 of 2000 at 50mins. Lists More units that the doubles for me so here's a more detailed look at them.   Game 1 Ratkin 1500, Dominate With their high US against my elitish build with barely any ranged attacks ratkin or goblins were probably the list I feared most. On the plus side the last minute switch out of my thuul to have pathfinder rather than the Hammer of Measured Force was lucky. Marcin had: Two shooty death engines Horde of tunnel runners with pathfinder A Slaves Regiment Two Shock Troop hordes, one +1 To hit, 1 +1 Crushing Strength A Swarm Crier with Bane Chant Two Weapons Teams As the plan was to get into the middle that's what we both deployed to do!
