Reflections

Ok, things I learned last night (a loss for those of you had dared to share my dream of otherwise :p)1. The Fane Knight us worth his weight in gold... When he hits. A dismounted charge on rahn(ret v ret) left him with 5 boxes, but then I whiffed the second attack. Very glad I ...

Reach and touch

I've just downed brushes after completing Lanyssa Ryssyll, and my second Griffon. (pics tomorrow hopefully) Second Griffon I hear you cry? That is correct, Vyros just got a new toy. I have, as you know, been struggling for a win with big V, but I am getting closer each time I play. ...

Busy like a bee

It's been a while, but here i am. I've been very busy outside of the hobby this last month, long bank holiday weekends, work shennanigand and all the rest of it, so I've not had much chance to take photos or blog. Especially considering the net connection at work hates blogspot. It's been a bit ...

In "da" club

That's right, it's time for another exciting installment of "I've just left the gaming club"! It went very well this week, believe it or not I got a vyros charge off on eStryker. I made a bad decision on how to use focus in combat, and missed by one point. Then went on to miss ...

Skorne: paint test

So here it is, a VERY quick mock up of what I intend to do with my new guys. Be frank, be brutal, I need the comments, as I'm very unsure of how it looks. I prefer the lighter of the two schemes, and the drybrushing is particularly sloppy, as I have very ...

I haven’t JUST been playing recently

And here is the proof;Sorry about the bad lighting, the sun stayed out long enough for me to set up, and get my camera out, and then went away again... ...

Vertical learning curve

Just had a great game at the club. I was perhaps a little over confident going into the game however. I continue to be amazed by how many attacks warpwolves can buy. Those things certainly pack a punch or four. Vyros spent all 6 focus and only managed to dismount the circle dragoon chap. Very ...

Gotta Have Faith

I'm writing this while playing a very different type of game on Vassal today. Lots of spectators, so I explain that I'm new to the game at the beginning and still learning the rules. My opponent is good about it and helps me out. My problem however lies with all the spectators ...
