Well, this was my first game using the official MkII rules. Joel and I decided to play 35 points with him using Fiona. I think he thought I might bring the Cryx instead of Khador, but I had enough stuff ready to go (assembly-wise anyway).

Warmachine – I now have a metric ton of Khador stuff
01.18
A shipment from across the sea, which I assumed had gotten lost forever showed up at my door the other day, adding to the collection of Khador stuff I’d acquired to replace it. I spent a good part of the weekend replacing the spears on the Iron Fang Pikemen with brass rod, which is a lot more painstaking than it sounds. I also spent several hours stripping paint from many of the models I received over the last week or two.
Here’s what I’ve got now:
Warhammer Fantasy – 700 points Ogres vs. Vampire Counts – league game
01.11
Well, the Ogres finally had a well-earned victory in the Warhammer League. I played a young guy named John, who I’d played a 600 point game last week where we drew due to his having to leave early.
Here’s the list he used to my recollection:
- Vampire w/an item that lets him keep a dispel die from the previous turn to use as a power die
- 10 Skeletons w/full command and some banner that makes their unit strength twice their normal number
- 10 Grave Guard
- 10 Crypt Ghouls
- 3 Cairn Wraiths
- The Vampire had the spells Raise Dead and Invocation

What I’ve been up to since the last post
01.05
Well, I admit I have been neglecting this blog for a little while now, so I figured I’d post some of what’s been going on in the last month or so.
Warhammer Fantasy – More 200 point league games
12.02
Per the usual, I went over to Games To Die For to play some Star Wars Minis. with the league going on, several people have been coming in on Tuesday night to play our league games. I brought my 200 points of Ogres and crossed fingers. My first game was against Mike Morgan who is running Warriors of Chaos. (more…)
Gallery Update – Tyranids and Ogres
11.30
I got more stuff painted. The Ogres are more for the Warseer “Tale of Fantasy Players” painting-motivation thread. We try to get 200 points painted per month. This month’s total is 222, which puts me pretty well ahead of the game. It’s Ogres, so it’s pretty easy to keep up. On the Tyranid front, I have about 350 points fully painted now. These have been easier than I thought they’d be. I went with a speed-painting technique that’s pretty easy to replicate no matter the size of the model.
Warhammer Fantasy – 200 point league games
11.23
On Sunday I went over to Games To Die For to play in our local Warhammer Fantasy league. We’re starting at 200 points and adding 100 points every week until we reach 2,000 points (I think). In preparation for this, I have painted up 8 Gnoblar Trappers and some Ironguts, neither of which I ended up using. (more…)
Another WHFB game with the Ogres
11.06
Joel (Sryth) is working on building an Empire army from Confrontation Griffin figures. Right now he only has about 1,300 points, so we decided to do a small game this past Thursday. (more…)
Warhammer Fantasy battles – First game with my Ogre Kingdoms
10.26
I set up late last week to play a guy named Shawn who has been hanging out at Games To Die For lately for Sunday. We didn’t really decide on points level or even what time we’d both be there, so I think it was assumed we’d play as big an army as both of us can cover and meet near when the store opened. When I arrived at about 12:30, Shawn was already there waiting with his Tomb Kings army. (more…)
