Totengräber's Workpläce

This past Saturday I participated in a Warhammer Fantasy Battles tournament at Games To Die For in Avon, Indiana. The tournament was being run by the same guy who is running the Warhammer Fantasy League, which has been running for a few months now. Most of the people who had signed up for the tournament were members of the league.

Two days prior to the tournament, I kinda had a thought that my only real option for coming out of the tournament with any real kind of recognition was to have a fully-painted army (since I play Ogres and would be playing against some tournament-level players), so I began painting my Butcher. I finished painting him the morning of the tournament. I think he came out pretty well.

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. (continue reading…)

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. (continue reading…)

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. (continue reading…)

I finished painting the Ogre Bruiser BSB and Ogre Tyrant. The pics are rudimentary and will be replaced with better images when I get the motivation to pull out the tripod and all the other gear.

Just wanted to post the progress I’ve made on the Ogre Kingdoms stuff I’ve purchased. I have 2 units of 3 Ogre Bulls with Bellower and 2 units of 3 Ironguts with Bellower assembled. In progress now are two units of 2 Leadbelchers. I got some Gnoblar Trappers in the mail yesterday and I have a unit of 25 Gnoblar Fighters to throw together. Along with all of that is a Maneater and a Butcher still in their packaging. The things I need to pick up still is another box of Gnoblar Fighters and a Tyrant. I know that will be more than the 1,000 points Brian and I agreed on, but I like options and I like assembling figures.
