Last Thursday, I showed up to find he and Jim playing Alkemy at 300 points. I believe Jim ended up winning with his Avalon versus Joel’s Jade Empire. Afterward, Joel and I played.

His list:

  • Sheik Araoui Ibn Khalid, Khaliman Diplomat
  • Sorhna Oracle
  • Malikh Jaraya
  • Malikh Jaraya
  • Suleman Ghulam
  • Malikh Tuareg
  • Malikh Meharist

My list:

  • Tamel’Seh Far Eye
  • Crow Thunder-Warrior
  • Auroch Totem-Warrior
  • Auroch Totem-Warrior
  • Wolf Thunder-Warrior
  • Toad Thunder-Warrior
  • Toad Thunder-Warrior

Scenario: Jin posts.

Per the usual, I don’t remember all the details of the game, but for me it was mostly a refresher anyway. I did lose to Joel’s Khaliman and his superior tactics. The Meharist is one quick mutha and was able to take control of one of the Jin Posts very early and then come support the effort at the middle Jin post later on. We finished at 9pm rather than from playing a certain number of turns, unfortunately, as one of my Auroch Totem Warriors was in charge range of his Sheik.

I do still like Alkemy as a game, but the lack of releases makes it difficult to make it anywhere near the top of my gaming list. However, if anyone asks me to play, I’d be more than willing to do so.

I just have their skin, pants, part of their boots, and some armor done on these.

The paint jobs look so much better in person than they do here. The only iffy part, IMHO, is possibly that the skin is too “red”, but I still think it looks Middle-Eastern.

I guess my next “project” might be the purchase of a new camera.
