Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me!

I had my 30th birthday yesterday (yes, now I will get old and ugly). And got some Skorne as gift from my gaming pals:
* Epic Makeda (they are going to regret giving this)
* Tormentor (they are also going to regret this)
* Bloodrunners (they are really going to regret this!)
Thanks guys!

Trying the lessers again: Morghoul vs Mardrak, 500pts Assassination

Played against our friendly (and lucky) local Trollbood player again in a battlebox caster battle.
He had: Mardrak, Mauler, Champions, min Longriders, Full Krielstone with UA, Fellcaller and Alten Ashley
I had: Morghoul, Cannoneer, Void Spirit, Soulward, Midwinter, Agonizer, Smoke gobbers, Rorsh&Brine and Wrong Eye&Snapjaw
Highlights:
Two champions charging through my lines and getting morgs to 5 hps (auch!)
Alten not hitting anything because Snapjaw was submerged, Brine behind a wall or in combat and the Cannoneer behind smoke.
Outcome:
In the turn he tought everything was over, he made two tough rolls (bummer). Mardrak killed the Cannoneer which tried to kill him and in my next control the frenzied Brine kills Morghoul in his back (auch).
Lessons learned:
I really have to study the Agonizer, I feel his power, but it hard to use the right one at the right moment.
Do not forget your feat.
Torment always misses when you need it.
Block your warlock
Orin can not handle 3 longriders by himself.

Trolls for peace!

See, see, I did some painting

It's hip to be square

Sadly no end of the game picture this report

Morghoul vs Kraye, 500pts Assassination

My first battle after my vacation. I wanted to try my new minions, so sorry for the headless horde. (and this was the test for my vs Hordes list for the next tourney, I did not take my vs WM list, because my opponent did not feel playing vs the Kitties)
He had: Kraye, Ol' Rowdy, Black 13th, min Trenchers, Aiyana & Holt, GMCA, Journeyman, Squire
I had: Morghoul, Cannoneer, Void Spirit, Soulward, Midwinter, Agonizer, Smoke gobbers, Rorsh&Brine and Wrong Eye&Snapjaw
Highlights:
Him missing his earthquake attack off old Rowdy. ;)
Totaling it the turn after, with Brine, Snapjaw and Wrongeye.
I finally got voidy to work, a little bit, he killed one trencher.
Cannoneer with ghost sight is powerfull.
For him, killing the cannoneer with harm and shooting attacks
Outcome:
We had to end the game early because of time constraints, I won by a few VPs (7 vs 5 or something)
Lessons learned:
Putting abuse on minion beasts is fun, otherwise morgs vs Warmachine is silly.
Old Rowdy is dangerous.
Submerge is the bomb.
Afterwards: Brine can charge into the forest if he wants.

Near the end

I love PP!

Good news, as some of the regular readers already knew, I had this huge mispack before I went to France. Now I got back, there was a package at the office, containing a complete Rorsh & Brine. Thanks PP!

Back from la France

I am back from my very good and very long vacation in the sunny France with my girlfriend (yes guys, girls are more fun then lead miniatures ;)). I spend most of the time sightseeing, at the pool or doing nothing at all ;)



Now I am back in the Netherlands, there is a lot of the stuff with was far away when I left, is now close by. We have our quarterly local 20ish player tournament in 3 weeks and I haven't prepared in any way. The Masters of the Benelux is further away, but also needs a lot more preparation, because I just want to finish in a good position for that one. I am also looking forward to our weekly gaming nights.

I also got an email from my work that a package for me arrived, which I guess are my Rorsh and Brine.

Had a lot of fun on the vacation, but good to be back!
