It has been a while...

Well, it seems an age since I last updated due to the house move. Happily everything is set and our broadband is back up. I have much more space to put my hobby stuff and more space to keep my paint station and paint in. Firstly I think I should update on my first Hordes tournament in Altrincham. These were 3 750 point games over one day. My memory is very hazy as it was so long ago, but here are the quick roundups.



Game 1 was against Darran Palmer who had trolls with Grissel as his warlock and the scenario was mosh pit (keep control of a circle in the middle of the board). I lost this game quite badly. I played Baldur but didn't realise I could have used his feat to win on my 2nd turn. Oh well... He basically moshed through my army using the usual troll stuffs (champions, fel callers etc). Darran ended up finishing 2nd overall. My inexperience at 750 was obvious I think (this being my first game at such a size!)

Game 2 was against Ruth Pape and her circle army. I almost snatched a first turn caster kill as she left eKaya exposed against some advance deployed Tharn Bloodtrackers who ambuscaded first turn but failed to kill her. The mission involved controlling strips of the board and I won this game and killed eKaya. Ruth finished 18th I think.

Game 3 was against the Cygnar of Ian Adams and he had Haley plus a ton of shooting. (temporal barrier ftw) I won this game on scenario even tho he shot the crap out of me. I found this game the most dull, though Ian was a great guy to play against, as removing models gets tedious. Ian finished 12th

All in all I finished 8th of 20 with 2 wins and 1 loss. A very happy me to finish top half! The pic is of a pair of Tharn Ravagers finished the day before the tourny. Last minute as usual"
