Well, haven't been here in awhile. So I will do a little catch up.

As of now I am working on my warriors. Getting ready for the upcoming Bayou Battles. This army will be amazing, to look at. Not so sure of how much I will be able to win. But this army will be great for comp points. I am converting almost every model in the army. And putting it all on custom bases. So have to re-base everything. Granted it is going to look amazing ( I hope ) but it is a IMMENSE amount of work. I have spent the last few weeks alone just redoing all the models I am going to be using. I have been trying my hand at green stuffing models as well. Re-sculpting the entire back and belly of a daemon prince, as well as filling in the gaps of the horrendous metal model. Also doing a bit on a hero and filling in the gaps of the hell cannon I put together.

This has been a huge amount of effort. BUT, I am really hoping to get a few extra points in the painting category this time. I have a huge amount of my army converted. I have 30 warriors a hell cannon a daemon prince and 2 chariots that are all unique. The only things I haven't tried to convert are my chimeras and hounds. This army will grab some attention on the table. I am not going to be posting any pics until everything is done. I don't want to give anything away at this point.

Hopefully this will give me the edge I m going to need to beat Casey at Bayou Battles. And hopefully it wil get him off his dead ass and actually painting something. Time will tell.

My first game with chaos.

Got to try out a list with the new book today Vs. CB.

Since it was an off game I took a semi hard funny list to play around with some of the new stuff.

30 Nurgle warriors with halberds.
Festus with the unit to give it 5 up regen and poison attacks.
Archaon also in the unit because hes badass.
And a lvl 2 nurgle mage.

The rest of the army was 2 Chariots and 2 Chimeras.

All my punch was in that one unit. Figured it would be fun to see what it could do in combat.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CB brought the following,
Cannon
2 grudge throwers
2 organ guns.
2 runelords with a power dice stealing rune and two dispel runes.
About 30 thunderers
A unit of crossbowman
A unit of longbeards about 40 strong with the lord on shieldbearers
Bsb with some random dwarf stuff.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously man? This is a friendly list? I call BS. Book standard gunline build.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did get to fight a bit, very little bit, since 70 % of my army got blown off the table before I could get over to his castle he had made in the corner to hide in.

Archaon did as expected. Although the amount of 1's I rolled to hit with him were pretty gross. The unit of warriors went from 30 to 12 before I ever got to fight. Still bloodied the nose of his warriors pretty well. But this game was over as soon as he deployed. I really had no way to compete with a gun line. I wasn't expecting him to bring that kid of list. So my single monsters and chariot all fell to cannon fire fairly easily.

Next time I will be ready, I always expect him to take more fluffy fun lists, but the last 4 or 5 have been pretty teeth kicking. So I am going to have to give in and respond in kind. Next time it will be filth vs filth. I won't be getting any more dwarf enemas, those days are done.

Unleash the filth .. the storm is coming..

New and improved!

I am really not sure what happened on my old blog. I tried to post something, got a message saying I had some possible copyright issues, and was deleted 5 minutes later. I have no idea what was supposedly copyrighted. Nor was I given a chance to correct it. Needless to say, pretty pissed. But life goes on and this is a minor thing in the long run. So without further adieu, to the 2 or 3 people that didn't just get it in an email, heres a quick and dirty breakdown of my weekend games at Shiloh.

My experience at the Shiloh Slaughter.

I will keep it pretty well quick and dirty. Anyone I've talked to has heard the more interesting parts, or was there. So here, I will just focus on the games.

Game 1 Vs. Dwarfs.

This army was a standard dwarf magic eating gunline. Huge amounts of anti-magic. And lots of accurate high powered shooting. And 3 giant blocks of tough infantry. This one was basically my anti-army. 

This went exactly how you would think it would. I lost 1/3 of my big unit of Horrors on turn 1. And that was pretty much the highlight of the game. This was the game I feared most. I had no chance of beating this guy. In the end I got a few points off of him from him misfiring his war machines off. But I don't recall ever getting any kills of my own. I tried to pick up a few objectives on the table to sway the points a little bit. And did. But couldn't get enough to dissipate the fact he blew my army off the table. 

This is how I expected this game to go. And wasn't upset about it at all. I know that some armies were gonna do this to me, and it was just as good sooner as later.

Game 2, Warriors of chaos.

I felt good about this game. He had a few scary blocks of warriors. But a lot of rather squishy fast cav. I had hopes there. A shaggoth, and a unit of 5 bloodcrushers with a bsb. This unit was going to be trouble.

The game was a decent one. We had some back and forth. I took off a good few of his units. And he was on the back foot by a bit. 

And then it happened.

He cast a comet that powered up to strength 8 and pretty much landed right at my feet. Destroying quite a few of my tougher guys. I tried to eat his bloodcrushers with my horrors. But in the end the armor shut me down. He miscast 3 or 4 times but it didn't hurt him at all thanks to his puppet altering the miscast rolls. And the one time I miscast, he puppeted it down to dimensional cascade. And really hurt me. 

In the end we both ended with bloody noses and missing guys. But his comet swayed the battle, I couldn't bring back enough guys to make the difference and his armor did its job. Another major loss for me, as I was unable to hurt any of his tougher units. 

Again it was down to list design. I brought a list that suffered against armor. And knew it. And paid for it. Totally my fault. He did what he need to do and picked apart my units enough to spread the points, good win to him.

Game 3, Empire.

This one was a shame. I was playing a newer player named Justin. And he had a really giant unit of knights for core. Like 20 or 25. Armor again. 

The thing is. He was new, and really unfamiliar with vamps. But the real kicker, which I found out after the game is he had another nit of knights, like 15 of them, that he left home. Had I known this we could have worked something out and I absolutely would have let him proxy them or whatever. But he didn't mention it until after the game was over. So it was too late. This scenario was fun, we had a pig in the army that kept getting stronger and stronger and was really wrecking face when it was turn 6 and he was strength 6. Well, mine did. His hit my spirit host and stayed there all game. Bad times for him. I felt really bad, and right after the game I found someone who had some spare knights so he could go full strength in the next games.

Game 4, Orc and Goblins.

This game was the first game I have ever played feeling totally shit. I went out Saturday and drank a ton. And was feeling like a keg of crap. And I played accordingly. Very literally I sat in the chair for the first 3 turns. And if I couldn’t reach to the spot on the table I wouldn’t move there. Really limited me, but kept me from vomiting on the table. Unlike the guy who sat at the table next to me who had to get up twice to do just that. But in the bathroom, not on the table.

We both kinda stayed away from each other and just poked around to see what we could kill. And that was how it went. I killed some of his and he killed some of mine. He was scared, and I was drunk. So we took each others stuff off, little by little. In the end we had a 5 point split. 5 points. It was an awesome game, and wads a draw… or is it. Turns out it wasn’t. He had a battlefield objective that I did not, that was worth 250 points. Giving him a win.. balls.

Game 5, Empire

This game was against a complete empire army, with another block of knights. This went about like the last one. He had a ton of small units and a few mages out on their own. I was able to just pick up his units here and there and get points. He didn’t have enough punch in any one area to really threaten me. His best units were his tank and knights. And they both smashed my crypt horrors. But stuck, all game. My magic was superior to his and I could bring back a ton every turn. So a good game for me. And even though I was “THAT” army for him. He said he had a really good game too. So win win.

That was about it for me. 2 and 3. About what I expected. I really feel I should have went 3 and 2. But you know, stupid and drunk. Won’t do that again.

As always had a friggin awesome time at Shiloh. We will go back next year. The hotel was great and the people all show up to play, not win. And it’s awesome. I hope rockwars will be as cool.
