<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve had a cheeky side project on the go now for several
months, namely a small Cygnar force; not that I’ve been planning on playing the
Swans particularly, just more of a circumstance to be honest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll elaborate:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I won quite a bit of store credit at the
Outpost store through various ‘best army’ and tournament wins, plus they offer
an extra 10% discount to tournament players on the day of an event and somehow
I managed to see the shiny appeal of a Stormwall and bought one….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fancied painting one up to be fair and had
a few ideas on a basing style; initially I contemplated selling it on eBay to
make a bit of money, but now he’s staying!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As luck would have it I managed to win a couple of el-cheapo bits on
eBay to add to the Stormwall and at the time I’d just sold a load of old GW
crap on eBay so had some spare cash…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Cygnar army… mmmmm!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m unlikely to actually take the Cygnar to any events,
though <i>Iron Gauntlet</i> is appealing (i.e. where you can take multiple factions
and one of which would be the Cygnar), the project is more for painting and in
particular the basing style which I will go into more detail later in the
article.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The top Cygnar lists cause me
and my buddies trouble in tournaments and I felt that having a ‘practice army’
was a good idea, from my point of view playing with Haley2 would highlight her
weaknesses for when I play against her in tournaments I also felt it my duty to
play it <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">against</i> my friends for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">their</i> benefit (awaiting a whole torrent of abuse for that comment)!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As far as lists go I admit to ‘net-decking’
the top lists, but that is the point of the project to be fair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having played the eHaley, bonded Stormwall
list a couple of times now it is like test driving an M5 when you’re used to a
boring family car!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Painting</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With regards to painting, where this article is focussed, I
opted to use the Cygnar painting guide from the faction book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve found these guides to be really good and
results from following these guidelines to be similar to the studio finished
product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made sure that the blues and
whites were<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>well painted, i.e. several
thin layers to get a good smooth finish, I like to use mixing medium to achieve
this and of course lots of laborious ink lining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The latter is a real ball ache and takes a
long time, but as I do it I can really see the difference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes armour plates stand out and
differentiates two surfaces which may have started to merge – my best method of
describing it is to make the model ‘punch’ out, a bit like a cartoon I guess.</div>

and I wanted to do a blasted urban scheme, like in the faction book artwork; I
wanted to incorporate rusted metal girders, broken pipes, razor wire and
standing dirty water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to give
my models some height too so I envisaged the bases being considerably higher
than other models I’ve previously based.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Below are a couple of snaps of the work in progress large bases, I used
various off cut plasticard girders, some GW bitzbox bits and slate for the
interesting elements of the base.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
the rubble itself I used a coarse-grade railway ballast mixed into a thick

For the painting I kept a simple grey drybrush, picking out
the rusted and tarnished metal girders and various other aspects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water was made using GW water effects,
running water was an off cut of dried hot glue gun glue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used a variety of green/brown washes in the
water areas to add contrast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally I
added grass tufts and occasional bits razor wire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I kept the majority of the base grass free as
I wanted it to look like weeds growing on a mainly urban grey base, I felt that
the grass was necessary to add colour to the miniatures.</div>

The extra paintwork was just a few minutes work, but enough to improve the models and make them a little more unique. Below are a couple of snaps of the missing ships I mentioned:<br />

<b>YT-1300</b><br />
A buddy of mine had found some cool Falcon mods on eBay and figured I should have a go, after a little research on <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page">Wookiepedia</a> I discovered that the YT-1300 freighter was often heavily modified, with cockpit alterations etc. I liked the idea of shifting the cockpit to the centre to have two different looking ships for my games. The Star Wars expanded universe agreed with the idea too, naming the "YT-1930" as a later mainstream design with a central cockpit. During my research I found a guide (<a href="http://hobbybeforeidie.blogspot.co.uk/">on this site</a>) on how somebody else managed to do it, so I had no choice but to break out the hobby knife and razor saw and begin to hack...<br />
<br />
<b>Conversion details</b><br />
The first job was to remove the original cockpit, but preserve the rounded tunnel part and nose whilst not invading the surrounding saucer section too much. I also removed the two front sections of the original hull in preparation for the new cockpit position. Everything was filed down and cleaned up ready for the conversion, but most notably the tunnel section was reduced to just the top part, I used a razor saw and a jig to get the cut accurate. Lots of filing and dry fitting was done to get a good fit. Below is a photo of the Falcon in bits!<br />

Note also the two blaster turrets and radar dish were removed for ease of painting and cutting, they're quite delicate and could have gotten damaged if they were left in place.</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Once the dry fitting was complete I superglued the cockpit and cockpit tunnel into position and started measuring up the plasticard to fill the gap left by the original cockpit removal. This was relatively simple to rebuild the basic shape as well as add in some panel details. I used liquid greenstuff and more filing to get a decent finish.

For the paint job I decided to prime over the original paintwork, a little risky as the detail is so fine, but I felt it would be OK and the final paint job wasn't compromised in my opinion.

<br />
Well I wouldn't go as far as to say repaint, but rather a touch up of the stock miniatures paint jobs. You buy the models, for those of you who haven't seen the game, prepainted. The models are very small, but detail is still present, pretty much as good as the original models from the 1977 film props, just much smaller in scale. The back of the main rulebook contains some details on this.<br />
<br />
The game is pretty good, quite tactical in fact, I've not played it a lot, but just started again recently, the dog fighting style of game is quite cinematic and if you like Star Wars then you'll love this!<br />
<br />
The models all come prepainted as I mentioned above, but the panel lining and quality varies quite a bit. As the ships are very small this has been quite forgiving. I did some research and lots of painters have stripped down the models and fully repainted from scratch - possibly the best method. I however opted for a retouch approach and simply washed the Imperial ships with a black wash. This had the dual effect of darkening the whole model, but picking out all of that detail I noted above. As the original wash was somewhat sporadic the effect was of benefit. I didn't wash the Rebel ships (other than the Y-Wing) to preserve their brighter colour, but mainly opted to re-ink-line the panels, most notably the Lambda Shuttle. <br />
<br />
The original paint job was very basic with just one or two colours, so I added silver pretty much where all of the engine and weapon areas where, again a black wash was used to bring out the detail. The other thing I did was to paint in the engine glows, which are just blank on the original paint jobs. Some have a neon blue/white glows such as the Falcon and Lambda Shuttle, others red such as the X-Wings, Slave 1 etc. I also added a couple of green or red laser lights and painstakingly painted the R2 units to add a little flavour!<br />
<br />
Below are a few snaps of my retouches, of course if you haven't seen the originals they won't mean squat!!!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
It’s been a while since my last post, but that is not to say
that I haven’t been hobbying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be fair
I’ve done quite a lot of painting recently and this article will simply be a
showcase of the Khador stuff I’ve recently completed.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For some unknown reason I found a burning desire to get back
into the Khador after quite some time without fielding the my <i>red army</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew that I had a couple of small coming up,
the recent Bridgeford Bloodshed 2 and the imminent Frontlines 3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I intended to get the armies fully painted
for both of these events, but fell short of the painting mark for the former,
so took the Menoth to that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I actually
did quite well at BB2, coming fourth – which was exactly where I came at the
last one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went 3-1 on the day, the
second through to fifth places (possibly beyond) were sorted via SoS, so not a lot I
could do to better myself, other than to have won all four! Superb event and looking forward to the next one :-)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, the Khador; I decided to build a new list and went for
Irusk2, I had played him a bit acouple of years back but decided to try him out again with
the following list:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Irusk2</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*Spriggan (bonded)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>10 Iron Fang Pikemen
with Black Dragon UA</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5 Man-O-War Shocktroopers</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10 Nyss Hunters with Valachev</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Winter Guard Mortar Crew</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Great Bears of Gallowswood</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Man-O-War Drakhun</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Iron Fang Kovnik</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second list was a copy of my 35 point Irusk1 list with
the addition of the Iron Fang Kovnik and Saxon Orrik.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> It isn't exactly the best pairing with Irusk2 as they both answer and pose the same questions, but it does let me field the mighty Konquest, which is all good. </span>I’ll focus on the Irusk2 list as this was
what the project was all about to be honest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The list has changed a bit, initially there were two mortars with the
idea of cycling the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fire for Effect</i>
spell, having two fully boosted mortar shots per turn, I had Widowmakers and
Kell Bailoch too, but the Drakhun and Great Bears found their way in, the Drakhun for speed and the Bears because, well they're great! It is fairly balanced with some decent melee output as well as ranged threat, I do however think the lists will get raped by the current meta power casters such as Haley2, Morvanah2, Vayl2 and Lich2, the less powerful ones will probably bone these lists too!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will be fielding the two fully painted lists in a week or
so at Frontlines 3, I’ve been drawn against Jamie P, who is arguably the best
player in the UK and winning Templecon Masters with Khador, so my chances aren’t
that great to be honest!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what the
hell, I’m looking forwards to pushing my models around the table and having a
bit of a laugh – considering the field of players and the army lists that have
been submitted mine look like the worst there, practically friendly, so
anything other than last place will be a bonus ;-)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Below are the photos of the recently painted Khador stuff for the two lists (mainly the Irusk2 list):<br />

I’ve been a bit lax of late writing up my tournaments as
well as painting related blog entries, but will endeavour to right my tardy
ways!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Below is a brief account of my

<span style="font-size: large;">National Masters 2013</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The National Masters is perhaps the biggest individual
tournament of the year, well at least so far with 128 player sell out [124
attended event].<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was held at the
North West Gaming Centre in Stockport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’d heard various rumours about the place being able to cope with the
volume of players, I was happy to see that it worked out ok; no more crowded
than the old 40K GT’s at Warhammer World or events at the late Maelstrom. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In all fairness the organisation was very good, registration
was quick and simple – it was also very nice to get a ‘goodie bag’ with a few
freebies including a Menoth t-shirt in my size (purely random)!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tables were all ok, though there was some
conjecture over the terrain, all of the wood templates were square, as opposed
to a kidney shape – similarly for areas of rough ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally I thought this was a bit naff as it
meant that the 90 degree corners could block LOS, but models could be so close
that they engaged in melee but couldn’t see one another?!?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reason was because the terrain builder
apparently didn’t own a jigsaw and resorted to a hand saw… </div>

Regards to gameplay I took the three lists I mused over in
my last entry, but to recap; Feora2, Kreoss1 and Harbinger were the casters.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Close Quarters is a good scenario to actually win on
scenario and I chose Harby as she does well against Khador in general as well
as being a scenario caster, my opponent won the roll and chose board edge,
perhaps a mistake from his end given my usual first turn:-<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I popped my feat, cast Crusader’s Call and
charged a random model in LOS which effectively locked down all of his infantry;
doing this effectively hits the enemy deployment zone with Harby’s gargantuan
20” control area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kevin didn’t move much
in his first turn and my turn two was fairly uneventful as I advanced Harby
next to my flag and formed a defensive formation knowing the Khador needed to
advance to stop me scoring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kevin didn’t
advance far enough and I scored in his turn, then again in my following turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We fought a small attrition battle, one which
I didn’t really commit to particularly as I was winning on scenario, I just
kept Harby safe and kept some pressure on his flag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oddly Kevin allowed me to score for a second
time in his turn, which equated to 4-0 on control points by the time I had
taken my following turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just made
sure Harby was safe and Irusk1 couldn’t score without committing lots of
resources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kevin again failed to contest
my flag during his turn allowing Harby to dominate for a fifth successive turn,
scoring my last control point in Kevin’s turn and ending the game there. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The game was a good start for me, but I can’t help thinking
that my opponent should have committed harder to stopping me scoring during his
turns, perhaps committing his Conquest to this task, maybe he didn’t quite
realise how scenario scoring worked, though I’m chuckling in my head as Dave F
will call this the ‘Fun Hoover’ tactic, i.e. where Harby first turn feats and
wins via scenario ;-)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I chose Feora2 as my match up here as Colin had Haley2 and
Caine2, neither of which like fire, though I do struggle against Cygnar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I expected to see Haley2, but was sort of
happy to see Caine2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Colin’s list was
pretty much a copy of one of the American tournament winning lists with full Boomhowlers,
Forgeguard and Alexia & the Risen, it is a very grindy list and also high
armour and tough models, when you do kill them they generate souls for
Alexia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d never played it before but I
like attrition fights and thought I’d see what happened!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The game went as predicted into a massive attrition fest, of
note stray, non-battled fire AOE’s do not kill Arcane Shielded, tough
Boomhowlers, nor do they kill <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Defensive
Line</i> Forgeguard, but what it does do is provide an enormous armour buff on
Feora’s feat turn and the ability to show her face to Caine2 and make him say
‘naah’ for a feat turn assassination run, yep Caine2 won’t get out of bed to
try and take down and ARM 35+ Feora2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
allowed me to burn the daylights out of Alexia and co as well as most of the
rest of the army as POW12’s do smart the following turn.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another quality anecdote from the game was when Colin ran
his own Boomhowler next to Feora2 and blinded it as well as Feora2 and my
Reckoner with a Black Oil off Gorman, a nice manoeuvre as Gorman ended up quite
safe from retaliation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However I had an
epiphany, Judicator picked up the blinded Boomie and two handed threw it at
Gorman, it bypasses <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stealth</i> as it is
a melee attack (not ranged), a boosted MAT8 with super Colossal strength
spelled his doom – best move of the tourney for me!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The game saw me up on the attrition front and eventually I
was able to dominate one of the zones for a second scenario win.</div>

I felt that Kreoss1 was my best match up for Cryx and went
with that, I’d had loads of practice for last year’s ETC against my friend Andy
with this match up, though it is really tough.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The game started off badly for me, I learned the hard way
that there was an inconsistency between the Battle Engine’s card and Wrath book’s
description of how <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Doors of Judgement</i>
works and basically William managed to get a ‘live the dream’ Bile Thrall purge
off on all my Errants and my caster as well as some other bits!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The difference between <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">disabled</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">boxed</i> being
the issue here; it has since had errata to confirm which is correct, but I
thought I was safe – oh how I was wrong!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I made a bad feat decision and clipped all of the Bloodwitches, but
William informed me that when they are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Incoporeal</i>,
during their mini-feat, they can’t be knocked down – ah crap wasted feat!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In essence I went quite heavily down on attrition and
eventually Asphyxious2 feated and managed to assassinate Kreoss1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly the game got a bit scrappy towards the
end, time was running out, some of William’s charge lanes and distances were really
tight on Kreoss1 and I really wanted to measure them accurately and this didn’t
happen, though to be honest it wouldn’t have mattered that much as I had very
little left and I’d lost a lot earlier on the attrition front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But still, players really ought to adhere to
accurate movement whether or not time is running out for them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Post-game I realised that there is actually nothing stopping
incorporeal models being knocked down which would have made a difference, but I
wasn’t overly bothered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I certainly
picked up some steep learning from the game, William eventually finished in the
top 5, so that would help my SOS no end!</div>

Little did I know but Daniel Knauss is the German WTC
captain, he also dropped Gaspy2 against me, a different list to William’s, but
still nasty!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The attrition battle went better this time, I killed the Bloodwitch
Hag with a crafty bounce off the Battle Engine’s gun, nice, as this would help
the Errants survive longer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Daniel
caught me with the Gaspy2 clouds and locked in melee trick on a few Errants,
combined with Gaspy2’s soul collection AOE, this power’s up the caster for the
next turn quite easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I managed to get
a few Errants out and continued to kill stuff, particularly Bile Thralls!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My feat turn was much better as Daniel was
the one who told me that Bloodwitches could be knocked down whilst
incorporeal!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although the attrition was looking strong for me Daniel saw
a cheeky sliver of opportunity and blasted Kreoss through a tight gap with
multiple magic missiles, dropping him to just a couple of health, I survived
but was in a tough position! Just on a side note Daniel was really good on the
tightness and we used a laser line to determine the preciseness of the LOS,
something that should have factored in game 3.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I couldn’t retaliate on Gaspy2, he was too safe, so
continued the attrition, but aware Daniel still had a feat, I made sure Kreoss1
was safe as a priority and camped focus to try and weather anything that could
possibly get through.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Daniel was very cunning and brought back several Satyxix
Raiders, these obviously couldn’t get through to Kreoss1, but what they could
do is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">feedback</i> damage to my almost
dead caster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is what killed Kreoss1,
though due to Daniel’s bad luck Kreoss1 almost survived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fair play to Daniel, he played it like a pro
and although he dropped from the Masters after playing me to compete in the
Iron Gauntlet event on the Sunday he still gave me a hell of a good game and
then went on to win the IG event the next day! </div>

After being mown down by Cryx twice in a row I was glad to
see another faction and caster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
was a bit of list chicken between me and my opponent, though I knew I would be
taking Feora2 as he had Lylith2 as a caster and my immunity to fire would be
golden if he chose this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was a little
surprised that he did in fact choose Lylith2, but maybe that was the whole list
chicken thing – I just played safe to be honest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The game was basically a rush forwards from me, partly because
Dave’s force was primarily shooting and not much in the way of melee, whereas
my army could shoot, but had the edge in melee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We attritioned quite a bit as the two armies closed, but a charging
Judicator meant that several key beasts were slain, my other two jacks also
made the distance and caused mayhem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
infantry locked down Dave’s forces, the TFG doing a solid job on my right
flank, eventually getting into the back lines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Dave managed to destroy the Judicator, but it was too late as my forces
were in position, the game ended when the Reckoner killed Lylith2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think Dave was a little disheartened by the
match up, though I think he too lots of positives from the encounter.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Legion twice in a row now, but my opponent opted for Vayl2,
I again picked Feora2 – mainly for the immunity to fire, mitigating the
Ravagore assassination threat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vayl2
however poses a credible spell assassination with two fully boosted <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Obliteration</i> spells.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The game started well for me, I was able to use the Reckoner
and Judicator in a combined arms approach and shoot the daylights out of the
Legion heavies from a central firebase, using some walls as protection as well
as denying Mr M the option of scenario, though I was only just toeing in the
zone to be fair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A pivotal point in the game arose when I thought Mr M had
declared a charge off one of his Ravagore’s against my Judicator.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>As I remember it</i> he measured his casters
control area and said 'it was in', I said that it was really tight and I wanted
to measure it accurately.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I proceeded to
measure the distance with various precise measures and found the Ravagore to be
just short.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point Mr M said he
would shoot instead, I felt this was off as a charge had been declared and the
model should have been placed just short; Mr M then said “I was only measuring
my control area and hadn’t actually declared the charge”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clearly there had been a miscommunication,
both of us felt awkward and in hind sight I should have called a judge and gone
with whatever they suggested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We played
it in Mr M’s favour and the Ravagore stayed still and shot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Annoyingly Mr M’s dice spiked big time that
turn and the Judicator fell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a
huge turning point in the game, from being in a very strong position, then made
stronger by a failed Ravagore charge and being gifted that beast I would have
been so far up on attrition I doubt I would have lost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I was right on the back foot…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was really upset by the misunderstanding and almost
conceded there and then because I felt that what happened was the single worst
thing in any Hordes and Warmachine game I’d ever played, but the voice inside
of me told me to carry on and not to give up. I should note that this was purely how the situation made <i>me</i> feel (at the time).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The last few turns saw more attrition and Mr M going ahead
at this point, both of us had lost a lot and I was now loosing on scenario as
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having lost all my jacks I went
for an assassination run on Vayl2 with Feora2 herself, but the dice weren’t
with me and I missed the enemy caster with all my attacks, even boosting, so I
was sat with no focus next to Vayl2 and a heavy warbeast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had forgotten to activate some Zealots
several turns in a row, but had run them around the back of the remaining
Legion forces and in what I thought was my last act I threw their bombs into
the back arc of the heavy warbeast and my dice turned round a bit and I caused
a lot of damage, though it doesn’t mean a lot when Hordes factions can heal
their beasts easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was certain this
was it and again considered conceding, just to get it over with, but again I
held on!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next turn was possibly quite unbelievable, I honestly
thought Mr M would simply heal the wounded heavy and charge Feora2 and pretty
much one shot her for the win, but instead he turned Vayl2 away from Feora2,
healed the beast and then tried to clear the zone for a scenario win.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somehow the smattering of Vassals, Choir boys
and Mechanics who had nothing better to do than clog the zone managed to
survive, I seem to recall Mr M rolling a double one at a critical to-hit
point!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeez I was still in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On my next turn I was almost clocked out of
time so Feora2 simply let rip into the back arc of Vayl2 and tore her to pieces
– I’d just won…..</div>

I was pretty tired at this point and there was talk of there
being no more games, but it depends on whether there is a single undefeated
player, as there were still two we played the seventh round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I drew Kris, a fellow Menoth player and WTC
team member, currently #1 Menoth player in the UK Rankings, so it was going to
be tough!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kris’ force had a similar composition to mine, though he had
one less heavy, but instead Eiryss2 and Rhoven & Co.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked about his list as I was quite intrigued
by his choices, I often wish I had Eiryss2 with Feora2 and did used to run my
list that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Regards the match-up, it
was fairly even, though the presence of Eiryss2 could change the balance in
Kris’ favour I felt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think we both
knew in list selection that it would be a Feora2-off…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kris took the first turn and hauled ass up the field to get
position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I responed, but made targeting
infantry near Eiryss2 a priority, I really wanted her dead as I knew what would
happen if not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I failed in my attempt to
kill Eiryss2 and as I predicted she ran at my Judicator, whilst his advanced
into charge range.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My choice is to
either advance and hit the enemy Judicator twice (no focus) and get destroyed
in return or back off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chose to back
off and kill Eiryss2 and continue the attrition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be honest the attrition was fairly even,
perhaps a bit more in my favour – but nothing to crow about.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Backing Judicator off led to a change in the no-mans-land
lines and actually now allowed Kris to score on the scenario flag safely,
whereas I couldn’t as I would be in the enemy Judicator/Reckoner’s charge
range.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would just take Kris five
turns to win unless I could mix it up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To be honest I was pretty much out of ideas and was knackered at this
point so I tried to get my Feora2 into a scoring position on full camp, but set
a trap for the enemy Judicator and maybe try and rush everything in and see
what happened!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few errors on my part
as I tried to engineer the plan, not clearing out some enemy Zealots meant I
couldn’t score a point back.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kris spotted a cheeky move, well actually it was quite
inspired, he slammed my Reckoner with his and cleared some infantry off my flag
and scored on that meaning he went 5-0 on scenario and secured a victory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A really good game, I was outplayed by a better player, so
no bones at loosing this game, the better players look at things like the power
attacks to get the scenario wins and they are often overlooked.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So overall I won four games and lost three, something I was quite happy to achieve, my SoS was quite high and I ranked highly in my 3-2 bracket coming a very respectable 38th out of 124. I had a few tough games, the Gaspy2 match-ups were really hard and I'm thinking that Kreoss1 is not the man these days, perhaps Feora2 can rise up to the Cryx challenge!?!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Loads of positives from the 'Masters' experience, it was more competitive than other events I've been to, but all my opponents were decent guys and I enjoyed the games - roll on 2014!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve booked in a couple of tournaments for the not too
distant future, the National Masters being held at the North West Gaming
Centre, near Manchester being the main event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is a 128 player ‘Masters’ event taking seven rounds to find a
champion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will probably be the
biggest event of the year and all of the ‘who’s who’ of the community will be
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m under no illusion that this
will be one of the toughest events I have ever attended for Warmachine, all the
top players, a two day gruelling challenge and most likely a stifling hot
atmosphere!

I have also just attended the ‘Brothers in Armour’ doubles
tournament on 09/06/2013, partnering Paul North – I’ll do another blog entry on
this in the near future. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">[spoiler we won]!!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Regarding the Masters, I am pretty much decided on lists
now; I’m going with Kreoss1, Feora2 and Harbinger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The latter caster has seen a lot of table
time recently and the list has evolved to something that I am both comfortable
with and somewhat competitive too (more so than the Feora1 and Kreoss3 lists I've been tinkering with lately).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve tweaked the Feora2 list a little and
switched the second Reckoner for a Vanquisher, then due to this change, dropped
the Zealots unit down to a minimum size and squeezed in a second Vassal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reason; having two 4” AoE flaming templates
of doom is too good an opportunity to pass up and will get more work done than
four zealots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other Vassal has a
similar function giving the Judicator a third twin missile of flaming goodness,
but I also now have more Enliven options.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am still considering switching the whole Zealot bundle out for the
Temple Flameguard bundle in the Kreoss1 list – I just feel the TFG do more work
and are more survivable; though the Zealot mini-feat and the KD feat of Kreoss1
is a very strong synergy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Below are the
three lists I’m likely to take:</div>

The Harby list is very strong in scenario, her feat is best
employed on turn one or two preventing the opposing infantry from advancing and
contesting scenario elements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This isn’t
always going to be the case as multi-wound and high ARM units will survive it, certain
builds will have no problems such as beast heavy Legion lists for example; but
for the most part it will be effective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This generally boils down to only heavies being able to run forwards and
contest, so the Harby player can plan on this and set-up a counter charge to
alpha strike said heavies – or go way ahead on control points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that in my practice games so far I’ve
won mainly on scenario, though Harby is one of those casters who possesses the
trinity of threats: scenario, assassination and attrition in plentiful supply.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
One of my play-testing changes was to drop the Errants in
this list down to a minimum squad, this really felt bad, but they’ve done OK with
four less bods and I’m relatively happy with this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dropping Gravus was kind of a shame, he
synergised really well but in the end he was a big magnet and didn’t really get
his points worth – essentially a canny player would target him at range and
dismount him reducing his effectiveness greatly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The list change granted the full TFG unit and
I feel they are a real workhorse, they get good use in any list to be fair and
they’ve got some great synergy with Harby and her spell list too – so they’re
definitely staying!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Vengers are
expensive, but can hit hard from afar, flank if necessary and out-threat/tie up
other units when needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They block LOS
to Harby and saved her bacon from shooting assassinations several times by
continually Martyring, for example on a Kara Sloan feat turn, where the
battlegroup killed two intervening Vengers about four times over, her Martyring
ability keeping them standing and continuing to block LOS!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The army has tools to deal with both armour and infantry,
something that a lot of Protectorate units possess both qualities, e.g. Errants
charging weapon masters for armour, but also high accuracy stats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>TFG can combine their melee attacks to suit
and Protectorate ‘jacks are perhaps the most accurate in the game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There isn’t a massive amount of assassination
threat in the list though everything has the potential, increased speed and an accuracy buff really help here. An Avatar to the face
will spell the end for a lot of casters and Harby herself can lay down some hurt,
focus 10 with an auto hitting P&S 12 melee weapon or an up to two fully boosted POW20 auto
hitting spells is scary.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Feora2</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As noted above I made a couple of small changes, I lost some
melee threat range on a second Reckoner charging, but gained a really scary AoE
and a more surgical method of dealing with infantry, the Zealot mini-feat and
set them all on fire for Feora’s feat trick is a lot easier with this and the
big AoE synergises well with Feora’s Caustic Presence.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The list packs a real punch with the ranged game; Flare from
the Reckoner aiding the Judicator’s accuracy when shooting enemy heavies, the
ancillary attacks for further damage and the Escort spell giving the ‘jacks 2”
more movement to get range.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clearly the
list can deal with infantry; that many continuous fire templates will scare
most infantry and Feora2 can surgically target certain models under her feat to
almost guarantee this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Ignite and
the Hymn of Battle the ‘jacks can deal with most armour in the game and the
extra movement will help get an alpha strike off. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps this list can deal with excessive
armour more easily than the others, though light infantry will make good
hunting too! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In terms of scenario, Feora2 probably has nothing particularly
strong to offer, but her army has a good potential to clear zones and scenario
elements, she is also very survivable with good native stats and protection
buffs, so I’m hopeful she can take charge in scenario by being able to weather
an enemy assassination attempt and dominate zones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her attrition game is strong and the army can
inflict huge damage, assassination wise, she has some tricks and no enemy
caster likes being on fire. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Kreoss1</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This list has remained the same for quite some time, but
synergises well, I’ve mused over swapping the Zealot unit out for the TFG –
exactly the same points, possibly because the TFG get more actual work done,
though Kreoss’ feat does allow the Zealots two turns of getting out of melee
with the enemy and easy pickings for direct hits off their usually low accuracy
high POW bombs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the Zealots are

This list has clearly got a strong assassination threat with
the ‘pop and drop’, it can deliver three fully-boosted POW 15’s and two
un-boosted to a knocked down target.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
the caster can’t be targeted, or is too tough to kill then the feat can be used
in a strong attrition game by killing the enemy army – Errants doing a ‘live
the dream’ turn with their Quickwork ability and double tapping enemy infantry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Regarding scenario, Kreoss1 doesn’t do
anything especially effective, though his army is very resilient and can
contest zones and scenario elements well, the feat can buy a turn to clear a
zone and score points if necessary.</div>

This is a real problem for me, I'm just not sure what will do well against certain factions, all of the lists are pretty well balanced so I'd probably do reasonable with whatever I drop against Cygnar for example. There is a lot of talk about creating and 'anti-X' list, which is perhaps the way to go, but then people build and anti-anti-X list and so on. To be fair I'm not going to be fighting it out at the top so I'll try and not get too hung up on this, just play what I fancy, or maybe not drop a certain list if they've got a lot of anti-tech, say anti-knockdown in each list would mean Kreoss would be a poor choice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I've thought about asking various friends who are also honing their Masters lists about which of mine they would least like to face and why, that way I'll see the strengths of my lists rather than focussing on their weaknesses against others. </div>

The Harbinger list is very similar to my good friend Paul
North’s, we discussed the merits of the list and the basic idea is to use the
Errants and Vengers to jam the opponent and use Harbinger to win via scenario
victory, her feat being the key here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Vengers can form an anti-shooting screen with their large bases and
Gravus stops them being knocked down (dis-allowing LOS to Harby), she can <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Martyr</i> them like crazy when required.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve mused over Aiana & Holt as well as
Rhoven & Co. in exchange for Gorman and Kell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve also contemplated the switching of
Avatar in favour of a second Reckoner and three points, possibly funding a
min TFG & UA unit; I am quite keen on the latter and am currently
contemplating dropping Gravus to make some room for these.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are always lots of options, and quite
often you wish you had the option you just dismissed!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Harby list above has had quite a bit of success in the
few games I’ve played, primarily winning on scenario as per the list design,
I’ve actually enjoyed playing Harby, as in the past I’ve found her a bit boring
to play, perhaps playing her up front in the SR2013 has helped here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I quite like Gravus and he synergises with
this list quite nicely, though for five points I do wonder if he is worth it; I
suspect I’ll drop him for five points of more effective models, possibly a TFG
unit along with the other loose points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gorman is always a good solo and I feel his cloud to either try and hide
Harby or give her +2 DEF from ranged attacks is important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also has some solid use mid-late game
throwing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blind</i> grenades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kell is also a workhorse and most people
agree that he gets his points back every game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve used him to try and snipe out enemy support pieces, or just to help
out in the attrition battle.</div>

I’ve not played this list as much as the Harby one, but have
enjoyed playing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think I gave a
brief synopsis of the list a few entries ago, but here it is again, as we’re on
the subject!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The list is tier four and
qualifies for cheaper melee only ‘jacks, +1 to first turn roll, advance move on
a ‘jack and increased FA for cavalry units.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Signs and Portents</i> on the
Vengers/Kreoss is amazing, it increases their accuracy and hitting power quite
a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The extra dice and discard the
lowest roughly adds +2 to a roll as far as statistics are concerned, so that is
effectively MAT11 P&S16 charge attack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kreoss3 has <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i> and the
Vengers <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Battle Driven </i>which increases
this to a theoretical P&S20 charge attack!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Clearly all of these things have to be in effect and the board state
optimal, but still you can see the potential damage output being way above the
same Vengers in the Harby list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two charging
Vengers killed Snap Jaw, the Gatormen Lesser Warlock heavy warbeast, that was
one impact attack and two lance hits; they had <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Battle Driven</i>
as well as good dice, but still – ouch!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel that the list desperately needs a Vassal for the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ancillary Attack</i> for the Vanquisher, but
points are just too tight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I considered
dropping the Crusader, but a heavy warjack for 5 points is a bargain and I’d
end up with three points spare which wouldn’t really compare to the damage
output or survivability of the Crusader.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ll just have to accept the Vanquisher can put just one 4” AoE down per
turn!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
The High Exemplar is the Protectorate of Menoth’s character
dragoon solo, similar to Fenris of Khador, Darragh Wrathe of Cryx and Lady
Katherine Laddymore of Cygnar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gravus,
similarly to these peers, has a whole swathe of special abilities and
skills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is a combination of a support
piece and a melee monster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This article
will discuss these further as well as a small exposé on his battlefield
exploits and finally a small painting commentary.
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gravus at a glance:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He has the same basic stats of a Venger, with +1 MAT, though
he doesn’t carry the Venger lance or short sword; he does however have a rather
nasty magical mace with several special rules.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gravus’ support role extends as far as his <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Brother’s Keeper</i> ability, which is passive in his CMD of 9” and
makes all Exemplar models immune to knock down and stationary effects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is like one of the Covenant’s three
abilities, but only applies to Exemplar models.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gravus is a commander, so non-exemplar models in his CMD range will be
able to use his CMD if required.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Perhaps one of Gravus’ main abilities is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Crusader’s Requiem</i>; Gravus can collect
up to three souls from destroyed Exemplar models – note this only triggers from
an enemy attack, so <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Self Sacrifice</i> or
killing your own models won’t benefit Gravus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gravus can use these souls to buy extra attacks and boost as he sees
fit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a cavalry model Gravus is quite nippy, speed 8 with reach
makes his threat quite long without any speed buffs such as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Crusader’s Call</i> etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gravus has access to the cavalry rules, so
can do <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ride-by Attacks</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Impact Attacks</i> and has <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tall in the Saddle</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gravus’ weapon, called Reverence, it is a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">magical</i> mace with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">reach</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chain Weapon</i> and
has the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dispel</i> passive ability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Gravus is an Exemplar he has the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Weapon Master</i> ability and therefore
rolls an additional dice of damage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
base stat of Reverence is P&S 11 which is lower than the Venger’s lance,
but the Weapon Master ability makes up for this somewhat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chain
Weapon</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dispel </i>will see
situational use, but could be game turning in the right circumstances.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall Gravus is pretty decent, he gives out some good
passive buffs and has obvious synergy with Exemplar models, I’ve played two
games with him at the point of writing this so can’t really add too many
anecdotes of how best to use him, but strategy so far has been to hang back for
a turn or two handing out some passive benefit and then charging in to mop up
or help out with a full soul load out, he is quite pricey at five points,
perhaps not everybody’s cup of tea, but I’m keen to give him a chance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Dave is reading this then he will be
chuckling to himself as he remembers Gravus’ debut game:- fully painted, never
seen the battlefield before, somehow survives being blasted by Dave’s Gun
Carriage, gets a full soul load out and charges the DEF10 Gun Carriage…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tall in the Saddle makes Gravus MAT10, so he takes
a mighty swing and low and behold rolls snake eyes – D’oh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is OK as Gravus has three souls and buys a
second attack, SNAKE EYES AGAIN! – WTF!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He did hit with the next two but failed to destroy the Khadoran Battle
Engine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later he did redeem himself a
little by killing a couple of Great Bears late game and probably finished off
the Battle Engine!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not the most
glittering start to his career, but I’m keen to keep field testing him and I
feel he adds some important benefits to my Harbinger list.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Painting the High Exemplar:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a dragoon Gravus has a mounted and dismounted miniature,
both are obviously very similar, though I do like the fact both are subtly
different, as in the pose, head/arm position etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As with the rest of my Protectorate forces
painting followed the tried and tested method outlined in previous
entries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did paint the models in
separate pieces and found that I did need to break off the two previously glued
(mounted) model arms to fully paint said body and arms.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>A note on ink lining</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did spend quite a long time ink lining the model to make
the various panels and raised sections stand out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I painted the model I could really see
this making the miniature ‘pop’ and although painstaking as a task it is worth
the effort in my opinion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If readers are
interested I use a 10 zero synthetic brush with the old GW black ink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Synthetic brushes are harder than sable and I
find give more control for tasks such as this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ink has very high pigment content and will overlay any underlying
colour, you’ve therefore got to be careful as a mistake will be hard to
rectify.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ink also has a tendency to dry
glossy, so worth bearing in mind if you don’t want that, you could rectify with
a matte varnish or sourcing a matte drying black ink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ink does however flow nicely and with a
steady hand will separate two colours and improve the neatness factor tenfold.</div>

Last weekend I went to the <b>Bridgeford Bloodshed 1</b>
tournament, held in a leafy suburb of Nottingham, hosted by my good friend Andy
Garrard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The event was a corker and I’ll
elaborate with a couple of brief battle reports and the Protectorate crusade!

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lists:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the event was designed as a prelude to the Masters events
taking place over the summer Andy made the event 50 points and two lists with
an option to take three – the stipulation being each list must be played at
least once.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I’d designed and play-tested
Feora1, Feora2 and Kreoss1; I selected these lists (characters did not

different questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Below are the three
lists:</div>

I recognised the name David Thomas, but hadn’t associated it
with the chap I knew as ‘Lux’ and I was delighted to give him a game as we’ve
met several times and always had a good close game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lux was running Lylyth1 and Thagrosh2, the
latter being very beast heavy and his Lylyth1 list less so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I opted to take Feora2 because the ranged and
melee output of this list is very high as well as a greater threat range on the
alpha strike (12” Reckoner threat).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lux went first and sent his infantry plus beasts forwards,
as per a usual first turn surge forwards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I managed to send a couple of continuous fire rocket pods off towards
his Striders and managed to fish a couple in the scatters, the Zealots took
their mini-feat and ran aggressively towards the Striders to engage them the
next turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did a switch-flank
reposition between my two Reckoners to deny Lux his prey bonus for later turns.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On turn two Lux advanced further and the
Striders/Deathstalker nibbled at my TFG.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Lux had placed his beasts fairly central and in the 12” zone to deny me
any control points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His Warspears were
positioned on my left flank and in assault range of Feora2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I played the next turn pretty well
attritionally, I sent one fully boosted Reckoner shot, followed by two fully
boosted Judicator rocket pods into the Carnivean dropping it to about three
health, slaughtered most of the Striders and Deathstalker as well as killing a
stray Warspear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Feora2 repositioned and
ran to the other flank, getting away from the Warspears and into Escort range
as well as keeping four burning models in her control range to take advantage
of Caustic Presence, all whilst not stepping out of the kill-box!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lux felt that it was do-or-die time as the attrition battle
was not going well and he had little left to really make an impression on my
heavies, or infantry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He used Lylyth1
under her feat to boost all ranged attack rolls in an attempt to assassinate
Feora2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing that did catch me off
guard was one of Lylyth1’s abilities to immediately cast a spell at a target
she hits with a shooting attack, regardless of range, this meant Lux could get
a cheeky <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Parasite</i> spell off to reduce
Feora2’s armour by three…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lux had very
little that could shoot Feora2, the Angelius, Lylyth1 and a lone Warspear that
I can remember.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lux’s dice were with him
and the last shot from a Warspear sealed the deal and Feora2 was dead.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the game I was chatting about my game with fellow team
mate Andy McB and I realised that I hadn’t calculated Feora2’s armour
correctly, basically I forgot to add the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Escort</i>
spell’s bonus in (+2ARM) and that would have meant she would have lived – D’oh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be honest it was my mistake and I wasn’t
too bothered, I just kicked myself for not being switched on!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ah well I won’t make that one again!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Again I lost the roll and went second, Steven had a T4
Karchev list and had a Spriggan, Kodiak and Behemoth as a Battlegroup, two full
units of heavy infantry and some mechaniks .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I chose Feora1, though in hindsight Kreoss1 might have been the better
match up from my point of view, simply to shut down Karchev’s<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>spell casting (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lamentation, Purification</i> and the book), this would have severely
hampered Karchev’s effectiveness, but Feora1 has the Avatar, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i> Eiryss2 and the Knight Exemplar
Seneschal (KES) roadblocks!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Steven did a fairly predictable first turn and advanced
forwards, though I was surprised the Shocktroopers and Demo Korps only
advanced, perhaps Steven was thinking defensively and giving them the Shield
Wall order, he further augmented this with three Grey Lord Ternion clouds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I advanced aggressively, but was mindful of just
how far Karchev can <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tow</i> and sling
shot off ‘jacks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used the two KES to
ensure the Avatar couldn’t be charged and Enlivened him just in case a cheeky
‘jack managed to trample through to him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the second turn Steven continued to advance the heavy
infantry in defensive formation, but I noticed that he hadn’t placed any models
in the zone allowing me an easy 2 control points in my turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Karchev and Co. advanced and shot a few
Idrians and made attempt on one of the KES, but did relatively little
damage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On my turn I took the
opportunity to dominate the zone and then jammed the heavy infantry with
Errants, though I knew they wouldn’t last long but would ensure board control
for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Avatar would have been short
on charging Karchev so he destroyed the Behemoth and was Enlivened once again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the KES charged Karchev for a few
points of damage, but prior to this the Idrians CRA’d Karchev and charged the
Mechanics, more in an attempt to remove Steven’s ability to repair as well as
whittle Karchev down a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Reckoner
didn’t engage the Spriggan, range was tight and I didn’t have a lot to deal
with the heavy infantry once the Errants were dead so it stayed central and
safe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eiryss2 did the honourable thing
and ‘bombed’ the Spriggan (Kodiak was quite far back and not threatening). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Steven’s turn three his Battlegroup was in trouble, an
Avatar in the midst, Behemoth dead and no focus allocation allowed to the
Spriggan, he also needed to enter the zone otherwise I’d dominate in his turn,
then auto win in my own turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Steven
attempted to shift the two KES who were jamming up his Battlegroup with
Karchev, but they were in good awkward spots, Karchev did manage to get a
single attack on the Avatar, but dealt low damage and he Enlivened away, the
Spriggan however managed to get free and inflict just enough damage to cripple
the Avatar’s sword arm and importantly engage the Avatar whilst he was out of
melee with Karchev.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Steven did manage to
get some models into the zone, but I was still in a strong position.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Reckoner managed a cheeky rear charge on the Spriggan,
denying its shield bonus and wrecked it, freeing up the Avatar to wade into
Karchev.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Protectorate character
‘jack managed to assassinate Karchev even with a crippled arm!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>MAT10, P&S23 (Battle and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i>) even with one dice is hard<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as nails.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think I played the game right, I isolated targets and used
Protectorate dirty tricks (Enliven) and jamming KES to allow the Avatar to take
on Big K and a full Battlegroup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kreoss1
may have been better as I stated earlier, but I really wanted him for option in
the last two games as that list is probably my strongest list.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Alex is one of the hosts of Elite Cardre, one of the H/Wm
podcasts, though I seldom listen to it these days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex had Morvahna2 and Kruger1, I think we
both knew which casters each would be taking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Goatvahna</i> as she is commonly known
has a fairly net-list build which is very strong although Alex had gone down
the tier route and instead of Skinwalkers he had Tharn Ravagers, but still had
the double Stalker and Gorax combo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
also had a full Tharn Bloodtracker unit and full Wolf Riders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tier bonuses included free upkeep spells on
turn one and some other bits that I forget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Alex didn’t have any shifting stones which meant I could more accurately
gauge Stalker threat range, he did however have a Barknode (Gallowsgrove) so I
would need to be aware of potential spell slinging.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again I lost the roll, but Alex chose to go second.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I simply ran my stuff forwards, put <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Defender’s Ward</i> on the Errants and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lamentation</i> up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I figured that I could go toe to toe with the
Goat Lady on spells; denial with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Purification</i>
and the book – well that was the plan!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My Errants took the left flank, facing off against the Than Ravagers and
Bloodtrackers, whilst the Zealots took the right against the Wolf Riders – that
was how Alex set it up as he deployed second.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The two Battlegroups were fairly central.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex also advanced and attempted a cheeky <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Death Knell</i> spell against a far off
target hoping to drift onto the Zealots, but to no avail, at least I was aware
of this trick now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On my second turn I advanced the Errants cautiously as the
Bloodtrackers had preyed them and the Ravagers had hunter and pathfinder so
could effectively ignore the two intervening forests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did give up four Errants as bait who just ‘toed’
into the zone, the remainder hunkered down behind a wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Battlegroup tried to kill some Wolf
Riders along with the Battle Engine, but my dice were shockingly bad and not
one hit, so that made things interesting!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Zealots mini-feated and ran forwards, a few engaging the Wolf
Riders, but most staying back ready to be more effective the next turn (I was
concerned about a potential <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Death Knell</i>).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex played a canny move and judged distance
perfectly, a Gorax power attack ‘push’ on his own Stalker meant it was just in
range to charge my Battle Engine, which it managed to scrap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wasn’t sure why he made this choice as it
was dead next turn given the proximity of my two Reckoners and his other two
beasts were too far away to counter, not a good trade in my opinion, but Alex
did say he hated the Menoth Battle Engine with a passion which is fair
enough!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex moved his Bloodtrackers and
killed off three of the four Errants who were ‘the bait’ and the Ravagers ran
to gain position and engage the last Errant in the zone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On my third turn I knew it was going to be decisive, Kreoss1
dropped <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lamentation</i> as I realised
that Goatvahna wasn’t going to get anywhere near Kreoss1 and she had the speed
to get away from the book, no kill-box meant my plan wasn’t going to be
effective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still my feat was coming and
Kreoss1 knocked down all the Bloodtrackers, all the Ravagers and both
Stalkers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Wild Riders, Gorax and Morvahna2
were too far away to catch, which was unfortunate as the Zealots would have
loved DEF5 Wild Riders with their bombs!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The knocked down Stalker near my Reckoners was quickly killed along with
the Barknode.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Errant unit had a
‘live the dream’ round and double tapped all of the Bloodtrackers and nibbled a
couple of Ravagers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second Stalker
was too far away to be charged and was stealthed due to a combo of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fog of War</i> and warping for Prowl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Zealots charged (to save time) but didn’t
hit a single Wild Rider.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like I said, if
they had been under the feat it would have been awesome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t complain too much as I’d killed all
of the Bloodtrackers and they can’t be returned under the Goat Lady’s
feat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex made some decisions and his
remaining Stalker stood up and destroyed two Ravagers in its melee range, the
idea being to relapce them with his feat into melee with the Errants and get to
attack, I did query this and it turned out that they couldn’t attack this
turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Ravagers and Barknode were
returned to play and I lost a couple more Errants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Wild Riders did rude things to the
Zealots and all but two died in a flurry of wolf and rider attacks!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Gorax held back at mid table, similarly
with Goatvahna.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The previous turn had drawn both feats out and probably seen
my army up on the attrition front, given I was in the driving seat for
countering the counter if you like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’d
both taken losses and neither had scored control points yet, I was looking
pretty strong on my left flank, but quite weak on the right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So this turn was as I stated above a piece
trade round where I concentrated on removing key enemy pieces and looking for a
way to score control points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was very
aware that Kreoss1 would be targeted for assassination, so I was keen to avoid
this given I was likely to go ahead in control and VP’s from now on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Errants continued to fight the Tharn
Ravagers, having a strange sense of deja vu<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>- “haven’t I killed you already good tree folk”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Reckoners split their threat vectors now
and one protected Kreoss1 and was preparing to support the Errants in taking
out the last Stalker and possibly enemy objective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other charged a Wild Rider and got in a
perfect position to buy attacks on another three killing 4/5 of the unit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew the Gorax would counter charge, but it
would stop Alex scoring and threaten Morvahna2 for later rounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex sent his Stalker into the Errants,
warping for ‘Beserk’, I don’t know if he’d tried to Beserk attack Errants, but
it doesn’t work well as their <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Self
Sacrifice</i> ability shuts it down, Alex also was under <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ashen Veil</i> off the proximity of the Reckoner creating effectively
DEF16 ARM18 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tough</i> Errants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Stalker realised it was in trouble and
attacked the Reckoner to make it <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Enliven</i>
away – or take damage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took very
little damage and managed to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Enliven</i> completely
around the back arc of the Stalker denying it further attacks and maintaining <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ashen Veil</i> coverage to protect the
Errants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Gorax did charge the other
Reckoner and did a fair amount of damage, maybe knocking out a system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lone Wolf Rider had made it through to my
support pieces and began attacking Vassals and Choir.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fifth turn saw the last Stalker fall as well as the
remaining Tharn Ravagers, I’d almost cleared the zone and Kreoss1 moved to
dominate it – only the returned Barknode lingering at the end of the zone was
contesting, though this could not be dealt with my remaining forces during this
turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the other zone the Reckoner
beat face on the Gorax, though without Choir or a Vassal to augment <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it couldn’t kill the beast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did suspect the Reckoner would loose the
fight at this stage!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Alex’s fifth
turn he mangled the Reckoner with the Gorax and Morvahna2, but didn’t score due
to the proximity of a Vassal Mechanik (I think this is how it went).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sixth turn was the decider, time was getting very short
and I needed to ensure I’d won so the Errants charged the Barknode and killed
it, Kreoss1 was in position to dominate if dice down was called and I was
contesting Alex’s zone, I also had more points in zones and more VP’s so I was
pretty confident on victory if dice down was called, but you never know…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My Reckoner had taken three focus as I was
unsure whether<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to charge the enemy
objective and kill it, going 3-0 up with a potential to dominate my own zone in
Alex’s turn to go 5-2 and win, but I was unsure on distance and some rough
terrain could have made this a mistake, so the Reckoner took Battle Hymn and
shot Morvahna2 with a fully boosted to hit and damage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rolls were very good, setting her on fire
and the damage roll being enough to kill the Gorax with the transfer and enough
damage remaining to kill Morvahna2 as well, so it was game there on
assassination! </div>

‘Kenny’ as he likes to be known as, is Lux’ mate and I’ve
known him a while, he used to live in Hull and went to the local club as well
as a few events that I had run as well as a few elsewhere in the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had used all three of my lists and
therefore had a choice of all three in this round and to be honest all three could
do equally well, or badly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kenny had the
Kriel Stones plus UA in both lists, meaning he could get a protective aura
against continuous effects, so this would render both my Feora lists less
potent, Kenny also had some immunity to knock down and one of the fell calls
could stand knocked down models back up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I actually won the roll to decide first turn and took it, figuring
my Advance Deployed Errants and fast warjacks could threaten objectives early
and I could put pressure on this way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kenny opted for a first turn feat which gave his Kriel Warriors an
additional +2 movement on top of their +2 movement from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift Foot</i>, the extra +4 movement helped Kenny’s force position to
stop my board control advantage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later I
discovered that Borka’s feat only affects charging models, not running models,
as far as the +2 movement from the feat is concerned, but to be fair it didn’t
make too much difference.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the second turn I asked to see Kenny’s cards as I wasn’t
familiar with the Kriel Warriors and their immunity to knock down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spotted that the immunity to knock down was
‘granted’ by the standard bearer, which meant if he died then the unit lost the
immunity and Kreoss1’ feat could affect them – a plan was formed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The brace of Reckoners opened up on the
Mauler severely wounding it and the Vassals were positioned to give ancillary
shots to seal the deal, but I was waiting for the Battlle Engine to go next as
its <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Admonisher</i> ability would catch
the Kriel UA, the Battle Engine killed the Mauler and both members of the Kriel
UA, so this allowed Kreoss1 to feat and knock down the whole Kriel unit and a
few other bits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Errants then charged
and caused mass carnage to the Kriels and Sons of Bragg, this was further aided
by the Holy Zealots who mini-feated and jammed up any potential LOS to Kreoss
(who had stuck his nose up front to deliver the feat).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kenny was a little demoralised by the massed
carnage and tried to pull it back by nibbling at the Errants and bringing the
Champions into position.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the third turn I continued the attrition mopping up
remaining Trolls who were contesting the flag to my right and creating lanes
for my forces to destroy the enemy objective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Borka was relatively safe and he is notoriously hard to assassinate, so
I wanted to get the upper hand on scenario on my right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I killed the light Swamp Troll warbeast too
this turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kenny managed to turn things
around a little this turn and charged the Reckoners with his Champions as well
as my objective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One Reckoner ended up
getting destroyed (as Borka also charged) and the other lost its cortex and
right arm, meaning Kenny was getting close to Kreoss1 and I only had a handful
of Zealots and one damaged Reckoner left to stop him – Kenny had also gone 1-0
up on scenario and I had little to stop him running away with the scenario!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think I hadn’t anticipated just how hard
the Champions would hit my ‘jacks and was a learning curve for me as I could
have positioned them much better in hind sight.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fourth turn was also interesting, I managed to nibble a
couple more Champions with the damaged Reckoner, tying them up and I finally
managed to destroy Kenny’s objective and allowed Kreoss1 to run on to the right
hand flag and dominate to go 3-1 up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kenny had very little left to stop me scoring in his own turn; the
wounded Pyre Troll advanced within 4” and took a cheeky pot shot at Kreoss1,
setting him on fire, Kreoss1 had too much armour to be affected by the initial
shot, but in my following Maintenance Phase it could hurt!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think Kenny managed to kill the last Reckoner
too, but didn’t dominate the flag for whatever reason, probably too busy killing
Zealots with Borka!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the fifth turn all I had to do was stop the Pyre Troll
from contesting, it took a single blast off the Battle Engine to slay the light
beast and seal a scenario victory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Conclusion</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With three wins and a loss under my belt I was really
chuffed, I’d played quite well and only made one big error on the first
game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d learned a lot from the four games,
spotted some new tricks and tactics to watch out for as well as putting my
three lists through their paces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
one of three players to go 3-1, but didn’t get a podium finish due to strength
of schedule and my final placing was 4<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was really pleased to come 4<sup>th</sup>
and am hopeful to get to one if not two of the Masters events I mentioned that
are on over the summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m going to
play-test Kreoss3 and Harbinger with a potential of subbing one of these lists
in for the Feora1 list, which I consider the weaker of the three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though I am contemplating revising that list
and making it more competitive; especially considering the winner of BB1 used
Feora1 for three of his four games! </div>

I’m pretty happy with the Protectorate as a faction, I like
the models and enjoy painting them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They’re pretty good on the table top too, maybe they don’t have some of
the real top tier lists that get banded around the internet; say Hayley2 and
Gaspy2 however they have quite a lot of answers to most other factions and can
ask questions that are hard to find a counter to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve found that with SR2013 the scenarios
have rewarded Casters who can stick their noses out and ‘dominate’ a zone, flag
or objective; but as I mused previously this can be somewhat perilous given
assassination threats which increase when doing so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This led me down the path of choosing lists

After playing SR2013 for a few months now and getting a good 50 games under my belt I’m better versed at selecting lists and am going to
branch out beyond the three Casters I’ve been practicing since the beginning of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m keen to really try out both Intercessor

Harbinger is a control Caster who will come into her own in
dominating scenario aspects, her feat will help shut down infantry advancing
towards her and hopefully force opponents to give up heavies, by moving them in
to contest, given infantry will auto die or allow Harby to go way ahead on
control points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve contemplated a few
lists, but have been drawn to fielding Vengers and Errants with her, the
Vengers will form a screen to hide Harby behind and block LOS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harby is a large based Caster with DEF14 and
ARM14 as base stats, so potentially easily seen and assassinated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a few discussions with other
Protectorate players I’m going to try Gravus with her too – one of his
abilities is to make Exemplar models immune to stationary and knock down effects,
so handy for the Vengers valiantly shielding Harby with their lives!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gravus also collects souls of destroyed
Exemplar models, so Vengers and Errants synergise nicely there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m also looking for excuses to paint more
models so this fits nicely!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Intercessor Kreoss</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As noted above I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>am
dabbling with the idea of Kreoss3 too, I quite like the idea of playing him in
tier as the benefits are quite good and unlike many Warmachine tiers it isn’t
too restrictive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like the idea of
running dual Venger units, which spurred me on with the painting of the two
Vengers for the Harby list above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
quite an investment money-wise as Vengers are FA1 outside of Kreoss3’s tier, so
it might be wise to play test the list with some Khadoran Uluhans proxying as
Vengers <span style="font-size: x-small;">(shussssh don’t tell)</span>!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fire of Salvation</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With Kreoss3 in tier he is required to field Fire of
Salvation; the Kreoss character ‘jack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Probably not the best character ‘jack in the game as he is basically a
Crusader that costs 50% more in point cost!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Obviously he has some skills to justify the extra 3 points and is
probably reasonably costed for what he does (even better at 8 points with the tier benefit).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His affinity with Kreoss grants him <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dispel</i>
which is OK if he hits something which has an upkeep and won’t be killing it
outright say a Stormwall with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Arcane
Shield</i> or similar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has a few
upgraded stats, most notably his speed increased to 5, but still lacking reach
making the humble Reckoner far better value at 1 point less!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fire does have an imprint which allows
boosted attacks and if it kills a pseudo berserk, sadly the lack of reach makes
this ability less juicy than say Beast 09’s reach thresher and imprint for
boosted attacks – but still it is OK.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Fire does have Righteous Vengeance which is perhaps his saving grace,
the ability to make a 5” advance and an attack is great, more so for the
movement – combine this with <i>Enliven</i> moves, normal movement and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Warpath</i> moves Fire could get some cheeky
attack vectors off and quite possibly seal the deal for an unsuspecting Caster!</div>

The final piece to be painted in the Feora1 50 point army
was the second Knight Exemplar Seneschal (KES).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve tried to make a trio of lists for competition purposes, each
fielding some different units and ‘jacks to keep me going painting-wise; but
still be competitive – hence the Idrians and KES. I've fielded this trio: Feora1, Feora2 and Kreoss1 at 35 points in a Masters event at York a month ago, I've scaled it up to 50 and intend to field it again in another month at <a href="http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=111395">Bridgeford Bloodshed 1</a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These KES solo’s are pretty decent in melee and when they
get angry hit pretty hard and accurately – they’ve been useful in blocking
charge lanes, contesting scenario elements and generally being a pain in the
ass for my opponents! Further tactics can be read in the first article I wrote on KES <a href="http://merlinstower1.blogspot.co.uk/2013_01_01_archive.html">here</a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The latest KES has a hero pose, I deliberately mounted him
on a sloping rocky base and to further differentiate him from his buddy I
chopped his left arm off and reposed it in a similar way to how the Errant
Officer holds his sword, very simple to do – I just used a razor saw at the
correct angle and inserted a pin to ensure the joint held.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I decided to paint the new KES in a similar way to his
brother, but I used a greater amount of purple armour and much less white,
though I maintained the same gold trim, sanguine clothing and brown/red banners
for continuity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There isn’t much more to
say regards the paint job as again it follows the same scheme I have discussed
throughout this blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Following the
finished KES photos are a few more Idrian photos – hopefully these will look
better than the ones in the previous article!</div>

<![endif]--> This entry is focussing on Idrian Skirmishers; perhaps one
of the less favourite units available to the Protectorate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are a mercenary ally unit, but
considered faction when building a Menoth army.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When you first look at their abilities you will quickly notice that they
have an abundance of skills and an average stat line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The UA further adds to this and presents even
more options and expertise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a result
this unit is quite expensive; 6-10 for the unit and 3 points for the UA, so 13
points for a full unit with officer attachment.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I won’t make this article a full tactica article, but rather
a taster of the Idrian unit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As noted
above they have a swathe of skills and abilities, I’ll include the UA’s in this
section too as generally speaking it is worth the three points if you’re
investing in a unit of Idrians.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’ve
got <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Advance Deployment</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pathfinder</i> as well as CRA as standard,
so pretty useful from the off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They all
come armed with a Kopis melee weapon and a military rifle for ranged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’re mediocre stats (MAT6 and RAT5) make
the P&S10 Kopis and POW11 military rifle fairly unremarkable, however given
that they have CRA a pair combining will make an effective RAT7 POW13 RNG 10”
gun, this is quite tasty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously they
can combine further for greater accuracy and hitting power depending on the
target.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do feel that you pay a premium
for these abilities and at one point per model are probably about right – I think
they get compared to Errants (quite often) which are cheaper and better, but I’ll
just discuss the merits of just the Idrians in this article.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Defensively the Idrians are again mediocre, DEF13 and ARM12
means that they will likely die to a half decent attempt, they do however come
with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Camouflage</i> as standard adding a
further +2 to any defensive terrain bonuses, therefore behind a wall they are
DEF19 from shooting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clearly that is
pretty darn good, but most enemy armies will have a method of dealing with
this, i.e. sprays, AoE’s or possibly units which ignore these benefits – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hunter</i> for example.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The UA, Chieftain and Guide, come in at a whopping three
points, but you do get quite a bit for that investment, CMA as a tactic meaning
that the Idrians can now mix it up in melee as well as shooting (mitigating the
mediocre MAT6/P&S10 against High DEF/ARM targets).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Chieftain also adds the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Assault & Battery</i> order, which will
get you quite a lot of attacks, or could be used as a pseudo <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bushwack</i>, so you shoot and then must run
or charge – disadvantage here is that you can’t CRA or CMA (though I’m not 100%
certain as I type this – it could be a real ball-buster if you can)!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Guide is perhaps the real icing on the
cake as he provides <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prey</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Go to Ground</i> as a mini-feat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prey</i>
is fantastic as it raises the Idrians mediocre offensive stats to elite
trooper/solo standard and allows the Idrians to kick some ass; as they can
Advance Deploy it allows you to place your Idrians right opposite your intended
prey-nice!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mini-feat is useful as a
first turn run and go up to DEF19 from shooting (it grants cover), it also
defends against AoE’s as it makes the Idrians immune to blast damage for a
round – again less effective if the enemy can by-pass this defence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At present I’ve been running them with Feora1, though a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Defender’s Ward</i> ‘caster would get much
more mileage out of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Feora1 does
nothing much for the Idrian’s, but I picked them because they’re fairly self-sufficient
and capable of dealing with almost any threat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They haven’t done anything particularly impressive, but have been fairly
solid never-the-less.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing I have
found is that I’ve expected more of them on occasion and they haven’t delivered,
it might be just some bad dice rolling on my part, but I felt they let me down on
a few occasions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that most
serious players won’t take them as they cost a lot of points and don’t tend to
give that much back, as I touched on above other units are far cheaper and arguably
more effective so I doubt they will see much competitive play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the flip side not many people know what
they do and therefore have that ‘Dark Horse’ aspect to them!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Idrian painting</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I painted my Idrians as a block of twelve models, which took
ages, hence the gap in between blog entries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As a mercenary ally unit they do not conform to standard Protectorate
models.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are almost polar opposites
with flesh aplenty, leather armour and lots of pouches/bling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have a Red Indian look to them in the
artwork and skin tone would be important when painting these.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Metals:</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the Idrians don’t wear plate or mail armour like the abundant
Exemplar or Flameguard units and are desert dwellers I tried to make them stand
apart, but still have some ties to the main army.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided after spending a long time studying
the models that the metal would be mainly silver with very little gold and the
metal would be quite rustic, not polished steel blades that you’d expect in the
main Protectorate army.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used lots of
washes to achieve this effect, the old Citadel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Flesh Wash</i> as well as the OOP Citadel Washes such as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Grippone Sepia</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Metals were drybrushed first from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tin Bitz</i> through to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chainmail</i>, I opted not to layer paint the blades to maintain the
rustic look I sought. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Clothing:</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Idrian clothing had a lot of leather armour which were
various tan and brown shades washed with various old Citadel inks washes, some
had metal plates which were again weathered like the swords.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cloaks were painted to reflect the
camouflage aspect of the Idrian unit and had an earthy tone, these were layer
painted (adding Menoth White Highlight to the mix to tie the Idrians to the
existing Protectorate units).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I further tied
the Idrians to my paint scheme by adding in purple sashes on models which had
them – this colour being unique to my personal Protectorate force –
alternatively I could have painted pure Menoth White.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Skin:</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was perhaps the most perplexing aspect of the paint
job, as noted above they’re like Native American Red Indians and had a
different tone to anything I’ve ever painted before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did quite a bit of research on the internet
and didn’t really find anything I found useful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I ended up basing the flesh with P3 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Midlund
Flesh</i> as I have done for many other miniatures, including the existing Protectorate
units.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I differed my technique at this
point and mixed the old Citadel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Flesh Ink</i>
with the old Citadel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ogryn Flesh</i>
wash, keeping the ink quite strong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
added a tiny amount of medium and washed the entire flesh tone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I predicted the increased ink content made
a dark wash and strongly tinted the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Midlund
Flesh</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After this I re-washed the
skin with pure <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ogryn Flesh</i>, I did
this to make the skin tone matte – inks tend to leave a shiny finish and this
dulled it back down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the dark tone
complete I re-highlighted the flesh with the basecoat leaving the muscle
definition created by the wash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the
highlighting proper I mixed increasing amounts of the old Citadel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bronzed Flesh</i> colour along with medium
to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Midlund Flesh</i> basecoat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think this gave me a different skin tone to
the other Protectorate units, although it doesn’t really look how I envisaged
the end result.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I contemplated making a
glaze to tint the finished flesh to a more Red Indian skin, maybe using <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Baal Red</i> or possibly making my own glaze
with P3 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sanguine Base</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t do the latter because the Idrians
looked suitably different and the flesh had come out quite nicely – glazing it
might have ended up being counter productive.</div>

who know me know that I’ve been having a really tough time health-wise lately
and to be honest still aren’t right, though on a positive note I’ve been
feeling somewhat better of late and well enough to paint so I’ve photographed a
few of my latest bits and pieces:
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Feora, Priestess of the Flame</span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This warcaster is one that I have been trying out lately,
loosing most of the games I have played using her, though of late I’ve won a
couple, so she got painted up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gaming-wise she isn’t renown for being in the Protectorate’s top tier of
warcasters, however I think she has a good spell list and a potentially
devastating feat as well as being survivable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Like her more popular epic counterpart she has a defensive stat of 15
and armour 17.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the recent release
of SR2013 the scenarios reward ‘casters who stick their necks out and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dominate</i> flags, objectives and zones,
basically scoring double control points; clearly the down side to sticking a ‘caster
in harms-way is assassination in the following turn – hence survivable
warcaster choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll endeavour to
write up a tactica on Feora1 once I’ve got to grips with using her and
formulated a list that synergises with her and SR2013.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Regards painting Feora1, techniques were identical to
previous articles, though I did spend quite some time getting the gold right,
this being the first stage as I tend to with painting Protectorate models.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also focused on getting a smooth Menoth
White blend on the cloak/armour and spent some time ink lining to lift the
colours where necessary:</div>

<u><span style="font-size: large;">Knights Exemplar Seneschal</span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This model has seldom seen play for SR2011 and SR2012,
however I think with the recent meta-shift to Colossals and Gargantuans as well
as the scenario focus of SR2013 this piece will find a niche.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a basic description he is a fairly fast
infantry solo who hits hard and with buffs and a bit of good luck could
possibly trash a heavy, but I don’t include him for that as a main reason, but
rather his <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Restoration</i> rule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically if the Knights Exemplar Seneschal (KES)
is killed he just remains <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">disabled</i>
and doesn’t get <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">boxed</i> or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">destroyed</i>, so he can’t be removed from
play easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The KES then heals damage
for each living faction model destroyed in his CMD.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The key is that the KES remains in play
during your opponents turn and isn’t removed until the Protectorate players
following Maintenance Phase, this therefore prevents an opponent from
scoring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The KES can also be used to ‘jam
up’ a large based model, such as a heavy or Colossal forcing the opposing player
to trample instead of charging – this burns initial attack(s), negates the
extra damage dice for a charge attack and costs a focus or fury for the power
attack leaving only ‘bought attacks’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of
course if you’re Dave and playing Sorscha2 it doesn’t matter as Konquest will
smash whatever it likes, especially Avatar’s that are gazing at it and Nick
forgot to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Enliven</i> (again)!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The KES was painted at the same time as feora1, simply to
speed up painting time and save on my ever depleting paint supplies!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The model is really nice as it has a dramatic
pose and the long flowing banners and clothing allow for some nice blending:</div>

<u><span style="font-size: large;">Reclaimer</span></u>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This model is a ‘jack support piece who again saw little
table-time in SR2011 and SR2012, but might see more in 2013.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically he gathers souls of fallen faction
models and can convert that to focus and hand it out to a ‘jack as a
*action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Effectively gathering free
focus allowing the Wracaster to camp more; something quintessential when <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dominating</i> and under risk of
assassination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wracks and the Heirophant
can also aid in this, but perhaps when list building too much support can be a
downfall.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Reclaimer differs slightly from other Protectorate
models in that his clothing is black, probably because he collects souls and
isn’t part of the Protectorate clergy, or maybe it is just a fashion
thing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still it was interesting to paint
this model and for the black robes I chose to mix increasing amounts of Menoth
White Base to Tharmar Black, making a grey highlight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chose this colour as it would balance with
the remainder of the Protectorate army which has extensive amounts of Menoth
White Base/Highlight as a foundation colour:</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Assembly</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I eagerly awaited the release of the Protectorate Colossal and set to
work building it as soon as it arrived, similarly to Konquest she was built and
painted in several sections:</div>
<br />
· Base<br />
· Legs and lower torso (rear skirt detached for painting)<br />
· Upper torso (head and shields detached for painting)<br />
· Left arm (hand detached for painting)<br />
· Right arm (hand detached for painting)<br />
· Missile pods<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Building and painting in sections is something I find easier,
especially with large scale models such as Colossals, simply holding such a heavy
and large base for several hours can be difficult as well as getting a good
paint job in all the nooks and crannies should it be assembled as one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conversely holding a section, an arm for
example, to paint can be awkward too as laying it down can ruin paint work, or
you might accidentally get finger prints embedded into soft, drying paint so
choosing the best method is quite tricky!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Conversions</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Perhaps the first thing you’ll notice about my Judy is that I converted
the flame thrower weapons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really
disliked the ‘machine-gun jubblies’ look, as well as the impracticality aspect
of the weapons themselves; i.e. they wouldn’t be able to be effective weapons
where they were positioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore I
decided to re-position the flamethrowers on the arms, behind the hand, allowing
them to stand proud of the vambrace armour and be seen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The flame throwers sit quite easily here and
I just added greenstuff to extend the inner armour and make the join as
seamless as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I contemplated
filing down the ball part of the flamethrower and adding some tubing, but
this would all be hidden by the hands once they were glued in place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To hide the two concave socket joints where the
flame throwers should sit in the Judicators upper torso I used two spare
plastic Errant shields that I didn’t use and had kept in my bitz box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I angled the concave sockets slightly to accommodate
the two shields and filled the void with greenstuff. Below are a couple of photos of those conversions for your reference:</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Gap filling, pinning and filing</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The Judicator had a lot of flash as well as gaps which needed
filling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reading various internet forum
posts this had been an issue for some people, however it was pretty much what I
was expecting so I wasn’t overly bothered myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are following this article prior to
building your own Judy, it is best to leave the gap at the top of the upper
torso assembly and greenstuff it later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is hard to explain but if you dryfit the metal and plastic pieces it
is apparent that they don’t fit as they should and a 3-4mm gap is
inevitable!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also the siting of the
missile pods is awkward and this will inhibit how dynamically you can pose the
arms, the shoulder pads will interfere if they are rotated too much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also definitely worth taking the time
to pin the big joints and those that are weak, such as the arms to body as well
as the upper and lower torsos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I
painted the rear ‘skirt’ separately it had to be pinned also, if glued in the
initial assembly I suspect it would be ok without a pin, just that gluing
painted parts to painted parts yields a weaker bond. Also another good tip is to pin the missile pod doors, the contact here is tiny so lots of patience is recommended, oh and a small drill bit! A few of the WIP shots below show the positions of the main pins as well as up close details of the paint job in sections:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
As indicated above I found it easier to paint the Judicator in several
discreet sections and worked from the base upwards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The colours for the Judicator were exactly
the same as previous articles, the gold being the first stage, given the messy
nature of drybrushing and washing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
small change was my daylight lamp decided to go kaput and I ended up purchasing
a new lamp, the new lamp has a ‘white light’ and has a tube rather than a
bulb.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The light I bought is designed to
aid partially sighted people and it has the effect of showing imperfections in
painting up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically it has improved
my layering because it shows up the different shades more harshly, therefore
you end up making closer, less harsh shades and under normal light the layering
looks more seamless. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is kind of like
when you take a flash photo of a model and it makes it look a bit naff! I did quite a lot of highlighting of the gold plate with P3 Solid gold on most of the protruding gold leaf and embellishments as well as the gold rivets, this was augmented by a lot of black ink lining, the latter is absolutely painstaking, it takes ages and needs a really steady hand, but the delineation between two surfaces looks so much neater and makes the model stand out - definitely worth the time IMO.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Judge Judy in action</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So with Judy getting her paint job I had a couple of opportunities to
playtest her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chose to field her with
Feora2, the pair seemed destined to fit together, heck I think Feora features
quite strongly in the Colossals book fiction!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My thoughts on Judge Judy is that she is a great piece for the
Protectorate and enjoyable to play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Judicator has great infantry clearing skills as well as being able to kill any
heavy target in the game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Feora2
augments the Protectorates already great ‘jack buffing abilities by giving
Judge Judy 2” of much needed extra speed, whilst buffing Feora’s armour with
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Escort</i> spell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bond adds that extra melee attack or
boost, but more importantly grants Judge Judy continuous fire on all of its
weapon systems allowing the missile pods to cause more havoc than you would
believe against infantry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Feora2 also
has the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i> spell which grants
Judge Judy +2 STR to her melee weapons giving a frightening number of very
accurate high P&S attacks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I’ve run the Judicator at 50 points and 35, it seems like a squeeze at
35 but quite do-able: 50 points however gets you all of the toys…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found that a Reckoner is a welcome addition
to the Battlegroup as its <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Flare</i> helps
to counter the Judicator’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Inaccurate</i>
rule when shooting high ARM, low DEF targets, clearly the Hymn of Battle,
aiming and boosting to hit all aid accuracy further.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A couple of examples of where Judy has passed judgement were as
follows:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Infantry:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carpet bombing high
DEF Satyxis Raiders who were immune to blast damage, basically they ignore the
AOE blast, but are susceptible to the continuous fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similarly any unit of high DEF or stealthed
infantry can be targeted by Judy from a considerable distance and the
inaccurate rule really doesn’t make any difference so she can be quite focus
efficient.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The free focus can be used
when fishing for solos or UA’s to boost the damage and hopefully kill outright or
maim sufficiently for the continuous fire to finish off in the opponents next Maintenance
Phase.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Hard target (from range):</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
Judy combined its firepower with a Reckoner and Battle Engine to judge Mulg,
the two fully boosted rocket pods were shooting at an effective RAT7 plus 3D6
and damaging at POW16 plus 3D6, with all the buffs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the new SR2013 destroying enemy
objectives from afar will be another strong use.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Hard target (melee):</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My Judy had
the opportunity to judge a Kraken, the Cryx Colossal, receiving four focus, the
Hymn of Battle and under the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i>
spell it just didn’t seem fair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
last example I had received a charge from Kraken and lived, though had dice gone
my opponents way then Judy would likely have been destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In another game I had the opportunity to
judge a Conquest, but had to trample over half a dozen infantry to get
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did have the ‘alpha strike’,
but even with Battle and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i> three
bought attacks simply wasn’t enough and it was Judy who was judged!!!</div>

Another tournament has cropped up, Grand Slam 2, to be held
this Sunday (3<sup>rd</sup> December 2012) at Maelstrom (Eye of the Storm) and
run by my good friends over at York.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Details
can be found <a href="http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=108065">here</a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In all honesty I should take Menoth as I know what I’m doing
with them, but I decided to take Khador, basically because I wanted to field
the big lad!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve got major surgery the
following day so to be honest I really need to have a good fun time and not be
bothered about how well I do so I think this choice is just the ticket!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
As I’ve posted the pictures of the big lad, a.k.a. Konquest recently I needed a
warcaster to run him, I used a cheeky Sorscha2 list a few times with a Winter
Guard ‘Deathstar’ and Black Dragon Iron Fangs (poached from Dave).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That list was pretty brutal and good fun too,
I also had Sorscha2 painted and most of the Iron Fangs… so I decided to take
Irusk1!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I quite like the idea of
‘Fully Painted 2013’, an idea banded around by Muse On Minis, something I try
and adhere to anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This meant I had
to paint up Irusk1 and a full unit of Kayazy Assassins plus Underboss.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kayazy Assassins</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Kayazy are a Khador Ally unit, which means that they are
‘faction’, but aren’t quite regular army and therefore required a different
painting style.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt that they needed
to be quite dark, given their back-alley, cutthroat, shadowy fiction and
playstyle, but still retain some of the Khadoran colours for visual
recognition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chose several dark-greys
to base the main colours on, each of which was shaded with Badab Black, then
re-highlighted back up to the original base coat, then further highlighting by
mixing a cream into the base (not necessary on all colours given the dark
pallet – just extreme edges).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used P3
Greatcoat Grey as the base colour for the Kayazy clothing as this colour is
present in the main army and would creat visual continuity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used very little red as it was just too
bright for the Kayazy, though a couple of assassins did get Khador red hats!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Irusk1 list is based around two units and Konquest,
Irusk1 can run Konquest easily and support the infantry with his
defensive/offensive spells.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Superiority</i> spell really takes care of a
few of Konquests weaknesses, as it adds +2 SPD, +2MAT and +2DEF, the latter not
really making any difference to a DEF7 model to be honest, but the first two
are really important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Irusk1 can use <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Battle Lust</i> to basically give out
‘weapon master’ and fearless at will, making units such as Kayazy very
dangerous to higher armoured and multiple wound targets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Iron
Flesh</i> is a very good defensive buff, adding +3DEF, but reducing SPD by 1,
this obviously synergises well with high DEF units such as Winter Guard
Infantry and Kayazy and of course himself (given the Shrinking Kill Box
Artifice unique to Grand Slam events).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Irusk also has <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Inhospitable
Ground</i>, a spell that makes his control area (14”) difficult terrain for
enemy models, situationally very powerful, allowing the Irusk1 army the
opportunity to ‘alpha strike’ the slower enemy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If the enemy has little or no access to ‘pathfinder’ this is very
strong, clearly the inverse is true against those armies with a lot of access
such as Circle and Legion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Irusk1’s feat is a double barrelled feat, where it grants
friendly faction warrior models +2 to hit on ranged and melee attack rolls, but
perhaps is more defensive in that it grants 4+ tough (super-tough!), fearless
and immunity to knock-down for a round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I found that hard to hit units such as WGI and the Kayazy, who benefit
from this feat become very difficult to shift and can jam up enemy lines with
less reprisal than without the feat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also the buff side of the feat stacks nicely with other buffs the two
units inherently possess, such as gang, CRA/CMA and Kovnik Joe’s boosted to hit
speech – meaning they are reliably accurate.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karchev</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Karchev list is a bit bonkers to be perfectly honest; it
is the exact list that I used to use when I first started playing and is as
follows:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Karchev</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>*Beast 09</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>*Behemoth</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>*Kodiak</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>*War dog</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Battle
Mechanics (min)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Koldun Lord</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Ogrun Bokur</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
As you can
see it’s a bit different, having loads of ‘jacks and virtually no infantry – it
is not very subtle and is fairly easy to predict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It does pose certain problems for opponents
and if you can’t deal with that many warjacks then it will probably hit like a
sledgehammer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the currant meta
shift towards Colossals and ‘anti-colossal lists’ this list will likely fall
prey to such lists, still it is incredibly good fun to play and that is my
primary objective for this event!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As it
has a low model count then activation time for the 7 minute turns will be
favourable (I hope).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The basic idea of the list is for Karchev to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tow</i> the three heavies into position and
let them wreak havoc under <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Unearthly Rage</i>
smashing the snot out of anything nearby!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Bokur is there to take a shield guard hit for Karchev, though any
concerted shooting effort will probably kill him as easy as any other heavy
‘jack TBH.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dog will help Karchev
with a bit of defence in melee as well as getting away without taking
free-strikes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Koldun Lord can play
sweeper with a decent magic shotgun spray as well as powerboost/un-disrupt a
‘jack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Karchev will have virtually
nothing to hand out to his ‘jacks this extra point of focus could mean an extra
fully boosted attack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Mechanics are
in for obvious reasons!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I first played this list my local gaming group was much
smaller and had less variety of factions and models within them so it was quite
a potent list, however in the last two years we’ve all broadened our gaming
horizons and I feel that it is no longer a particularly strong list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m using it because it is fully painted,
meets the character restrictions, actually poses a good diversity to the Irusk
list and is a damned good laugh to play!</div>

Once the slate has been bashed up into manageable chunks I
tend to dry-fit pieces with the legs looking for an interesting fit, for
example the Conquest has a bent right foot which will fit with some angled
slate, whereas the flat left foot would need to be modelled on some flat slate
otherwise the model would end up off balance and look wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Dave's base the right foot would be
mounted on some angled slate, which was actually quite thick, so therefore the
left foot would need to be raised with the thickness of the earth, around 5mm.</div>

Once the foot positions were figured out I glued the slate in
position with thick superglue, thick adds a greater contact and acts as a
filler too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next step is worth
taking time over to save problems later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I use a pencil to mark the final foot positions and make ready to site
the pins, with the Colossals this is quite important as they have
pre-determined LOS markings on the base itself.</div>

<div class="Standard">
To get accurate pin positions I first drilled the Colossal's
feet in places suitable for the pins, i.e. where sufficient depth could be
achieved as well as hidden when complete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The next step was to cut pins that are deliberately too short, just
enough to poke out of the holes; these were left in the feet and the model
sited on to the pencil positions drawn earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Next the feet were pushed firmly allowing the too short pin to make an
indent on the plastic or slate where the other hole needed to be drilled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This should make an almost exact fit for the
pin to line up...</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Drilling through slate is possible and certainly worth it, it
just takes time and patience!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the
holes were drilled I inserted much longer pins than the previous ones and bent
the ends into an L shape in order to secure them on the base, for the feet to
slip into later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a quick dry-fit
the pins should be correctly aligned, possibly a slight tweak with some pliers
to bend them, but hopefully a good fit has been achieved.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Once the slate has been glued into position with superglue
the next step is to fill the gaps with earth, basically mix the ballast with
PVA glue and some water into a very thick paste.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used a sculpting tool to lay the mixture
down and sculpt it into an undulating earth that would look good when
painted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One final thing was that I
fitted the legs into position as the earth mixture was drying in order to make
the left foot fit snugly; the earth was pushed slightly to leave a footprint
and the legs then removed and cleaned up after any excess got stuck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All done and just ready to dry now!</div>

In this example there is no static grass or tufts, which I
think is the finishing touch that makes all the difference and lifts the whole
thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is because Dave will be
adding his own to match existing miniatures in his army, but below is the Konquest on his base, hope you like it Dave :-)<br />

My latest super secret project can now
be revealed...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
After stating I'd concentrate on
painting a full Menoth faction I quickly bailed on this in favour of
some Khador – what! I hear you say!!! I ended up purchasing a
Conquest down at Maelstrom when I visited the Eye of the Storm for
the Open War 18 tournament three weeks ago – it just called out to
me :-)</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>Khador Red</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It had been a while since I'd painted
Khador red, but knew I'd followed the guide in the Khador faction
book, with a couple of exceptions. The book suggests quite harsh
layers, which are then smoothed by many thin coats of red ink –
this would give the red armour a very strong colour as well as unify
the harsh layering. I opted to do a smoother layering technique and
not apply the ink, this makes my colour scheme a little more pastel,
but I was happy with the result.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The basic technique (I use) is to apply
about six coats of Khador Red base over a black undercoat, this is
necessary to make a good strong base colour, the trick is not to be
tempted to put the paint on too thickly, but rather apply several
layers. Using a white undercoat may make this step faster, though
the undercoat will seriously affect the overall finish and I prefer
black.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>Shading</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The shading is a combination of pure
Sanguine Base for the darkest areas and mixing Sanguine Base with
medium/clean water to make a wash. The wash basically tints the
Khador Red base and makes a nice transition with the pure Sanguine
Base shading. I 'feathered' the wash a little and used some pure
Khador Red later to make the transition smoother.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>Highlighting</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The highlighting was achieved with
mixing successive amounts of Khador Red Highlight with the Base
colour and applying it in thin layers. Finally a thinned (with
medium/water) pure Khador Red Highlight was used on the upper most
highlights.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>Metals</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The metals were done to previously
discussed techniques and colour selection, basically from Tin Bitz to
Chainmail for the silvers with Badab Black as a wash. I did the gold
with the P3 colours, but used Griphonne Sepia to shade it rather than
the chestnut ink technique discussed previously. I did this because
I wanted the Menoth gold to stand apart from the Khador gold. Also
the Khador Red is very 'warm' as a colour and the gold didn't really
need the warmth that the chestnut ink would provide.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>Work in progress</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The photos below show some work in
progress, the base was done first, then the legs, then the upper
torso and finally the arms. From the WIP shots you can see that I
pinned the legs and base, this was done to stop the huge machine
breaking at a joint which probably has too little contact adhesive,
basically the slate base won't tessellate exactly to the foot, nor
will the gravel on the other. The pins make this important joint
strong.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The ball and socket joint for the upper
and lower torsos also has a large pin, again there is considerable
weakness and potential for stress at this point and I felt a pin was
needed. Lastly there are double pins which run laterally through the
upper torso to support the shoulders and arms. As the upper torso is
hollow I use pins which were about 3” long and traversed the whole
upper torso – again I felt this was a weak joint that needed
increased strength. <br />

<u>Basing</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I spent quite a bit of time on the base
and felt that this came out well, the mighty Konquest is smashing
through a line of razorwire as if it weren't even there!! I tried to
get the pose quite dynamic as his left foot crushes the wire,
dragging it taught at the steel post. I realised that early on the
Conquest didn't stand very well and his right foot was 'awkward', so
I had to sever the join and repose with a pin, but still the pose was
awkward. I therefore turned this to an advantage and sought a piece
of slate to fit the right foot and make it level again. I mixed up a
lot of undulating earth to give a sense of unevenness of the
battlefield, the huge 5” base lends itself to this nicely. Regards
to basing, I'll do a separate article on this as I'm going to do one
for Dave. I'll try and take photos at every stage so that it is
clear.</div>

<u>To Chip or not to Chip?</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I decided not to go for the chipped
armour effect that the PP studio Colossals have, for a couple of
reasons; firstly my other Khador 'jacks don't have this and Conquest
would look a bit out of place perhaps and secondly I spent ages
painting the highlights and shades, just to obliterate it somewhat!
I've done chipped paintwork before on my 40K Orks vehicles, but these
lent themselves to it a bit easier, being a bit more 'comical'.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Since my last blog entry I managed to
sneak in another tournament! After having to cancel the BCB event at
Leeds I managed to secure a place at the Frontlines2 tournament which
was held in Sheffield last weekend. It was a last minute decision so
I had little time to muse over lists as the day I bought my ticket
was the date of the list submission!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I'd mused for some time over pairing my
Kreoss1 list with Feora2 and had tried the opportunity at 35 points a
few weeks ago at the Open War 18 event and, albeit a small field for
testing I was happy with the dual lists, so Frontlines2 was an ideal
opportunity to try the idea at 50 points.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I will provide a brief synopsis of my
games below as well as a summing up of the event:</div>

<b>Game 1:</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Chris Murdoch (Mercenaries, Drake
MacBain)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Chris was a stand in as my pre-arranged
opponent failed to turn up, so I was actually given a bye for the
first round; however in true heroic style I opted to play a game
against Chris and take the result as it would be, win or loss...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The game was really tough and Chris was
a good opponent with a strong army, though he didn't have all the
figures he wanted to use – so it could have been much stronger!!
The first game was a reinforcements scenario and I took my Kreoss1
list as the dual Repenters would be useful against lots of Merc
infantry as well as Kreoss' feat.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Highlights were my Reckoners beating on
the two enemy heavy 'jacks with either shooting or melee; they're
just such powerful pieces and a snip for just 8 points. Kayazy and
Nyss fought valiantly against my Errants and TFG, but were unable to
draw a bead on my warcaster or secure control points. Eventually
Chris went for an assassination on Kreoss, but the dice were just not
with him and to be fair would have been quite a tall order even with
good dice. This left MacBain exposed and he was beaten to death by a
Reckoner's consecrator to the back of the head which ended the match
with a win.</div>

<b>Game 2:</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Liam Jordan (Minions, Calaban)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I'd never played Liam before, though he
is one of the Epic Flail posse; nor had I played against Callaban as
a Warlock. Liam is a skilled player and I knew it would have been a
tough game. I went for Kreoss again as Liam's other Warlock was
Barnabas and I would have protection from his feat with my Covenant
(no KD).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The game was a radial scenario and Liam
went first. He advanced very far on his first turn, augmented by his
tier list bonus, so I wasn't able to pressure scenario conditions
from the off. We also had an awkward wood in the dead centre which
formed a lot of tactical play later on in the game.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Highlights of the match were really
centred around a grind-fest where the Menoth came out better, Liam
had struggled with the piece trades and slowly my forces were
becoming more numerous on the attrition front. Both 'casters were
very safe, so assassination was unlikely. Liam on several; occasions
attempted to sneak a scenario point, but just fell short on
sufficient distance to make it. I was unable to do this myself as
Liam's forces were further upfield from the off and the wood made it
very difficult to press forwards through, hence I played for the
attrition. Liam made a few attempts to sneak a model into my control
zone, so that if dice-down was called he'd win on tertiary
conditions, but again insufficient distance or the game continuing
denied him a victory that way. I had nothing with sufficient speed
to make the distance to attempt similar as my infantry was all but
destroyed by this point and the 'jacks were shooting the daylights
out of the enemy heavies.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Eventually dice-down was called and
neither of us had any models in the control zones so it went down to
army points destroyed, which I was quite far ahead on and won that
way. I felt a bit bad as Liam seemed quite frustrated, not being
able to score his control points, or failing some important dice
rolls to throw one of his models into my zone, though ultimately the
dice-down was called in my turn and whatever came close was
dispatched quickly. Liam later came to me and told me that we'd
played the scenario wrong and <i>flags</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
were to be used for tertiary conditions, not </span><i>zones</i><span style="font-style: normal;">.
To be fair however I did question that very fact mid-game and he
told me it was definitely zones not flags, so we each played that.
If memory served I had both a Reckoner and Rhoven & Co on a flag
versus his Iron Back Spitter at the end of the game meaning I would
have won anyway! Liam later came second in the event so I doubt he
was that fussed at loosing to me.</span></div>

<b>Game 3:</b></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tom Fretwell
(Legion, Vayl2)</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tom is a really
great guy and we've played once or twice now and I knew it would be a
tough match up. The scenario was another reinforcements one and I'd
used Kreoss twice now, so if I used him a third time I'd be locked
into Feora for the last two games and given his Legion lists both had
Ravagores I knew Feora was the correct choice (as she is immune to
the fire based ranged assassination threat).</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The game was really
good and highlights included me playing like a chimp and forgetting
to activate things in the right order, mainly the Choir to sing
either protective hymns, or the Battle hymns, so I might as well have
not played with them that game! To be fair, despite my forgetting
things, I played the attrition game well and cleared out a
significant portion of Tom's army without loosing too much of my own.
He'd kept Vayl safe, as had I with Feora, so assassination was
unlikely for either of us, though I was worried about Tom sending off
a cheeky arc node pot-spawned lesser warbeast and feat-spell
assassinating Feora, her basic armour and the +4DEF wall she was
hiding behind would make this fairly tough I was hoping...</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;">Tom
went up a control point early on as I didn't keep my eye on the ball
and he was able to cheekily </span><i>Repulse</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
the Avatar out of the zone (darn I forgot Angels can do that)! The
next turn was a really strong showing from my Menoth clearing out the
right hand zone and scoring a point myself, even threatening Vayl's
position and the Legion backfield plus support as the Errants pressed
forwards. I spent quite a bit of time throwing Zealot bombs and
their blast damage was enough to wipe out the Legion Hex Hunters. So
a great showing up until my time expired and I realised I hadn't had
enough time to contest the zone Tom had just scored in... I still
had numerous activations left including three heavies which could
have gotten into the zones and hopefully avoided being repulsed out
or destroyed. This effectively ended the game as Tom scored at the
same time I did and all he had to do was move one model into the zone
I was controlling of on my right and win... D'oh! A real clanger
that mistake; just a bit more concentration on the time would have
been all I needed to keep my third game winning chances alive! Still
Tom and I had a good laugh about it and I wasn't that bothered to be
honest as I'd won two games already and achieved what I wanted by
this point and I'd only have had to face either Jamie P or Brett W on
table one/two in the next round and got a kicking – LOL!!!</span></div>

<b>Game 4:</b></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Gav Roath (Skorne,
Xerxis)</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I'd played Gav
earlier in the year at the Doubles tournament in January and he'd
used a similar Xerxis list then and having played a bit of Skorne
myself I was fairly competent on what the list did.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We were drawn on
the table I'd played Liam on earlier on game two and the table was
still going to be awkward with the big wood in the centre. We were
playing 'Close Quarters' scenario and Gav opted to go first hurling
his army far forwards and either past or into the wood making
scenario options very hard for me. I'd chosen Feora again for this
match up as either warcaster would have been OK, but I'd have a
choice for the final game this way and the Feora list can deal with
Skorne heavies.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To be honest I was
quite comfortable with the game as I had the tools to deal with Gav's
heavy infantry, I knew the Catephract would be in shield wall and
have <i>Defender's Ward</i> on them, which I could counter with
Eiryss2 and the two chain weapon wielding 'jacks. I could also trade
heavies considering I had four to Gav's two. I knew I needed to be
careful of Molik Karn, as a few side steps and Feora would be dead,
therefore I played her quite cagey.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Highlights of the
match up saw the Templar get the alpha strike on an unsuspecting
Titan Gladiator, its increased speed with <i>Escort</i> and the bond
meant it could hit like a sledge hammer from afar and the great
elephant fell beneath its mace. I did loose the Templar in
retaliation when Gav charged it with his Gatorman Posse under a few
buffs were P&S18 and 4D6 damage under Xerxis feat, mean!</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Following the
Templar/Gladiator exchange I was able to whittle down the Gatormen
and Gav's Nihilators in my own retaliation, using the cheeky 'set my
own invulnerable Zealots on fire (mini-feat) and then move it onto
the enemy infantry' with Feora's feat trick.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Gav then destroyed
my Reckoner with his Catephract, which were then taken out, in-turn,
by my Vanquisher and Avatar, the former was then lost to Xerxis
himself. Gorman was meanwhile black oiling Molik whilst the
remaining Zealots bombed him, nibbling out a few wounds here and
there.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
By the late-game
the piece trading basically left Gav with Xerxis, a few support
pieces and Molik, though Molik was too far out to be of much threat
and was being jammed up with Zealots and suffering 'blind' from
Gorman's black oil. I had Feora and the Avatar as well as my support
pieces left. I was actually better off attrition-wise, though there
was still a lot to play for. Gav tried to destroy the Avatar with

warm embrace of a pair of Mechanics! The next round the Avatar
rolled a full four focus, took the Hymn of Battle and ripped Xerxis a
new one!</div>

<b>Game 5:</b></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Lewis Johnson
(Cygnar, Haley2)</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Lewis and I were
drawn on table two, so the winner would undoubtedly get a podium
finish and we both had a choice of warcaster remaining. I took Feora
as I suspected Lewis would use Haley2 with the Stormwall, which was
indeed the case.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The game was very
tough and there were a few tentative moments over a couple of LOS and
terrain issues, but these were quite amicably resolved. The game was
'Destruction', an interactive objectives scenario, though it didn't
bear too much on the actual game.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Highlights of the
match were seeing Lewis having the upper hand most of the game, he
played really well and was able to answer all of the problems I gave
him, his list was strong and his play very good. Lewis did make one
almighty mistake and forget to feat with Haley2 which he tried to
flutter his eyelids at me to let him off, but I was a big meanie and
said no, which to be fair was the right call; I'd already given him a
few minor take-backs and all onlookers felt that it was fair, so to
did Lewis!!</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I made my
assassination attempt on Haley2 with two Reckoner shots, then
attempted to flame her with Feora, but was just a couple of
millimetres short on the range. I feated to set her on fire and
hoped I could nibble the last few damage boxes in Lewis' maintenance
phase. I got Haley down to just two remaining wounds, which was a
shame as the Reckoner's boosted damage roll was very low and just a
tad more would have sealed the game for me. Feora was assassinated
the following turn despite leaving her well defended. In all
fairness Lewis deserved to win as he'd played better than I, so I've
no bones about the result!</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Final standings:</b></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
After a very tiring
day I was really chuffed to finish 3-2 and having been in for a shout
at 2<sup>nd</sup> or 3<sup>rd</sup> place should my dice have been
slightly better. The field of players was so strong I anticipated
loosing all my games and would have been happy with just one win
before the first game, so winning more than I lost was fantastic for
me. I also scooped 3<sup>rd</sup> in the 'best army' competition and
was chuffed to achieve that considering the quality of the armies on
parade, so all in all a great day.</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I actually came 5<sup>th</sup>
in the end, though the organisers and Rankings HQ had me listed as
13<sup>th</sup>, due to an error in data entry, but this was soon
rectified!</div>

This miniature is perhaps the most awkward mini I have ever built and painted. It is very delicate and there isn't much space for pinning; further citing the positions for all of the Zealots and Harby herself is very tricky, being out by a few millimeters will mean that the model will not fit right.<br />
<br />
Initial assembly was tough as outlined above, but a lot of 'dry-fitting' with pins was worth it in the end. The Harbinger herself has a pin laterally right through her hips to attach both side swirls. She also has a pin vertically to attach the upper and lower torsos - I painted these separately, as were the three Zealots and her shoulder guards.<br />
<br />
One small mistake that I made was perhaps not replacing the haft of the flag given that this piece flexes all of the time and may well break in the future. The problem is that it isn't round, but rather rectangular and very hard to remove from her hand. If I did another Harby model I'd take the time to use brass rod, but for now I'll try and securely pack her in my figure case...<br />
<br />
Painting was quite a treat for this model as the long flowing swirls lend themselves to some nice blending and the miniature(s) are all very nicely sculpted cumulating in a great model for the tabletop. I used all of the colours and techniques described in previous articles, so hopefully you'll like the end result:<br />

Adam Archer – Cryx (Deneghra1)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Scenario:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Incursion</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I faced Adam in the first round of Open War 17 earlier in
the year and he took a very similar list, the same Warcaster and at the same points
value.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since the last time we crossed
tape measures I’ve played a bit of Cryx and knew a bit more how to deal with
them and this really helped during the game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Adam won the initial roll and chose his side giving me the first turn.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On both of our first turns we just ran towards the middle
ground and positioned.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the second turn I had a good opportunity to hit the Cryx
front line and killed all of the Bile Thralls, Bloat Thrall and damaged a
pistol Wraith and did 6 wounds on Tartarus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Adam responded by killing a couple of Errants and crippling my
Reckoner’s melee weapon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also made an
error in judgement and wasn’t close enough to an objective to contest it giving
Adam an early control point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On my third turn I felt that the Reckoner should slam the
Cryx chicken ‘jack that had taken the cheeky control point and needing a seven
on three dice failed miserably – boo!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The TFG did a couple of big CMA’s
on the other chicken bonejack which was contesting the other objective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps the rudest thing was the Vanquisher
neatly landing a 4” AOE on a Bane Thrall and clipping six more in the blast
killing all but one; the Errants mopping up Tartarus and most of the remaining
Bane infantry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adam managed to kill a
couple more Errants, but was struggling with causing much damage where he
needed it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This turn saw a turn in the
tide towards the Menoth regarding attrition, but still Adam was 1-0 up on
control points.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the fourth turn I managed to destroy the remaining Banes
and one chicken ‘jack with the TFG and
remaining Errants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Vanquisher also
managed to set Deneghra on fire and cause a few wounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adam was loosing the attrition quite badly by
now and I was now equal on control points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He used Deneghra’s feat defensively, which would slow my advance and
release some of the pressure, but the fire kept on burning and Deneghra was
getting low on health.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the fifth turn I was able to clear out the two objectives
to secure a control point victory, however the Vanquisher was able to shoot
Deneghra twice more and sealed the game with a ‘caster-kill.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So a win to the Menites with a truck load of Army points
(the secondary sort) meant I was in the lead after game 1!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Game 2</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Andy McBirnie – Legion (Saeryn)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Scenario:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Outfight, Outflank, Outlast (reserves artifice)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Andy is a close friend and regular gaming partner, but this
was inivetible considering four of the six players were from my local gaming
group!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andy is a skilled tactition and
we often have long drawn out attrition style games, this would be no
different!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both took the opposite
list to what the other expected and we would effectively replay a practice game
from earlier in the week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chose
Feora2.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Andy took the first turn and sent his army upfield at full
speed, I did similar, but held back a little so as not to enter his beasts
threat ranges and try and keep the Zealots somewhat safe from the Deathstalker
and mounted character solo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On turn two Andy brought on his reinforcements and began the
tactical game with cunning manoeuvreing and positioning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was planning on nibbling out my support
from range and I tried to defend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
thing that did occur was that the Avatar left the centre ground and went far
left to take on Andy’s reinforcements and the left hand pit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was just about immune to the warrior model
solos and was self generating in focus so wouldn’t need the ‘caster or support
as much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This effectively divided the
game between the two battlegroups facing off in one pit and the Avatar Vs the
rest in the other.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Turn three saw the Saeryn feat which makes the Legion
battlegroup untargetable by melee attacks and positioning the beasts in harms
way, but immune to retaliation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used
my Zealots minifeat to make them immune to most damage and ran to engage the
beasts and clog them down, returning the iniative back to me, however I was
aware that Saeryn could use <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blight Bringer</i>
to clear out my Zealots, so I tried to spread them out to mitigate that
somewhat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Errant reserves, which
entered the frey on turn two, also adding their ability to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Self Sacrifice</i> to add tar pit issues to the Legion beasts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Avatar was able to destroy Andy’s Reak as
it was out of Saeryn’s control area as well as a few solos, his natural MAT
8 and my ability to roll high was keeping the left hand pit looking safe,
though Andy had numerous pieces to keep the Avatar from lending his weight
against Andy’s two Scythean’s in the right hand pit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On turn four Andy saw an assassination angle and cleared out
some of the Zealots and Errants (with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blight
Bringer</i>) and mused over a trample, crossing a couple of linear features and
wail on Feora with a Scythean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both
discussed it and Andy decided not to do it as the linear feature would put the
Scythean’s base too far forwards and therefore out of melee with Feora.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pair of Scytheans went to town on the
Errants butchering them almost entirely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Avatar continued its rampage and smashed up another three solos,
almost clearing the pit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My plan for
this turn was to put some hurt on Saeryn and her beasts and set her on
fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Vanquisher took an almighty
freestrike off an Angel, but manoeuvred into a position where the blast would
catch Saeryn no matter how far it deviated (I was 2” away), unfortunately I
just wandered into the melee range of a Shepherd (2” reach) which I forgot
about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Templar went mental on the
front Scythean and killed it, just to have it respawn 3” away!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was looking a bit iffy for Feora at this
point and she advanced and feated moving the fire to Saeryn, but doing nothing
damage-wise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then moved the last
Zealot up to throw a bomb at Saeryn’s back and the question of the Shepherds
melee range came into question and Andy realised that he’d played it wrong
initially as his arcs were wrongly painted (front and back, instead of left and
right).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point we realised that
the Vanquisher was indeed able to fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Andy was good natured in allowing me to do this, but I think it was fair
as I hadn’t actually made a mistake in entering the Shepherds melee range after
all and it was a really vital part of my turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Vanquisher proceeded to roll box cars and obscenely high on the
boosted damage roll completely altering the game dynamics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also re-set Feora’s feat as the Vanquisher
should have shot before that and therefore I didn’t need to move the fire, I
just left it on the respawned Scythean.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the shenanigans at the end of turn four the game had
been totally shaken up and things were quite interesting, the fire killed the
respawned Scythean and Saeryn had to eat some fire damage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both Andy and I had 7-8 mins remaining, but
dice-down was called.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We weren’t
expecting that as we each had a fair bit on the clock, but there had been a few
pauses for rules queries and perhaps we started late, therefore it went down to
tertiary victory conditions and I had the most points in the two zones and took
a victory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would have liked to have played the game out as there was
still absolutely everything to play for, I was up a heavy, but Andy would have
got the alpha strike and changed that fact quite easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really don’t know who would have won, but
it would have been an epic struggle for certain!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Game 3</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Luke Foster – Circle (Kaya2)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Scenario:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sacrifice</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another inevitable draw against a regular gaming buddy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took Kreoss to this encounter as we weren’t
sure if you had to use both lists or not, but Kreoss would be strong which ever
list Luke chose I felt.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I took the first turn and sent everything towards the
centre, Luke did likewise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the second turn I made a similar mistake to the first
game and didn’t put anything into the pit to contest, but concentrated on
positioning for attrition and put some hurt on one of Luke’s beasts with a
Menoth Sighted Reckoner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luke scored his
first control point and positioned to hold the pit ready for a second.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I realised that I was going to loose if I
didn’t change my strategy and I decided to charge/run with the Errants and they
just managed to get a few bodies into the pit, but were so spread out several
were now out of command and would be able to do nothing next turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rhoven and Co. managed to get into the pit
and engage a few Druids, one Reckoner also got a toe in and the Choir sang the
hymn of anti-magic (I figured Luke might try and force bolt it out).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think a Vassal might have just got a toe in
too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I managed to kill off Luke’s
immediate forces around the scoring objective in the other side of the board
and reduced the chances of Luke scoring a second point and winning next turn.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the third turn Luke quite rightly set to work clearing
the pit, but soon realised that his dice weren’t quite up to the task and I
still had a couple of infantry models left, blocking a path to the Reckoner, as
well as it being enlivened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On my third
turn I feated and killed two of Luke’s beasts and further added more bodies to
the pit and placed a ring of models around the objective making it very hard
for Luke to score his second vital point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Luke’s fourth turn the attrition had started to take its
toll and Luke was down to a couple of beasts and infantry models and the
pit/objective were too packed to clear with the forces he had remaining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luke had lots of time on his clock and he
could have just let the time run down and won on secondary conditions, but Luke
is a sporting player and continued the game trying to get back into the fight.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On my next turn I set to work clearing the pit, killing last
remaining beasts and infantry to score a point myself and make the conditions
tertiary, which I would win on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before I
scored my control point I assassinated Kaya2 with a few Reckoner shots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This however shouldn’t have happened as Luke
had cast <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shadowpack</i>, which gave Kaya
stealth, we both forgot about it so my apologies to Luke, however it would have
been 1-1 on control points and I hadmore points in the pit if dice down was
called.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could have run out of time I
guess, but my forces would have focussed on killing Kaya, who would have had to
be in multiple charge ranges.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another great game against a cunning opponent, a few good
dice rolls early game would have seen Luke clear the pit and score his second
and final control point, or later game I might not have cleared the pit before
time expired etc meaning I could quite easily have lost this game, I guess the
Menoth luck was with me ;-)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Game 4</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dave Forster – Khador (Sorscha2)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Scenario:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Close
Quarters</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The final game against another regular gaming buddy, ah well
might as well play all my mates in one tourney!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Dave and I had played a couple of practice matches and I had already
learned the hard way that big Konquest is a bit of a bad boy under Epic
Sorscha, kind of “Hulk SMASH” and my anti-armour list had been, well
Hulk-smashed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore I chose my
Kreoss list for a different set of prospects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I chose board edge, mainly to get my Errants behind a wall that was
centre field, though this was a double edged sword in the end.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dave ran forwards on the first turn, as did I, just nibbling
a couple of Winterguard and IFP who had strayed too far into my threat range,
but I had made a big mistake…. a huge mistake....</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Dave’s turn two I realised my mistake, I hadn’t cast <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Defender’s Ward</i> on the Errants and they
really needed that ARM bonus against the
Winter Guard sprays, sadly I had dropped a real clanger and Dave punished me
for my mistake big time leaving just two out of twelve alive – sad times!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was in a tough position here and decided to
use my knockdown feat to hurt the Winterguard killing most of them including
the officer, standard and racketeer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
had to hunker down in my pit and both ‘jacks were enlivened and trying to
position for safety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somehow I’d cleared
Dave’s pit and gotten a Reckoner’s toe into the pit to claim a control point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Dave’s next turn the IFP came in and did a few CMA’s,
killing a few bits and pieces, the Errants and some of Rhoven’s group died, the
odd support piece too, but I was still in it and somehow 1-0 up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kreoss himself and the remnants of Rhoven’s
group attacked and killed several IFP, as did the Reckoners, just thinning out
the enemy infantry whilst trying to stay safe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The wall was just enough to stop Konquest being in the thick of the
action.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the following turn Dave was starting to get a bead on
Kreoss and he took a little damage, but <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Defender’s
Ward</i> was helping preserve his life!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On my turn I just about cleared all the IFP and most of the Winterguard,
but Konquest and Sorscha2’s feat were looming…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dave saw the opportunity and took it, giving Konquest four
and casting <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Boundless Charge</i> the
great Khadoran Colossal charged Kreoss…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Defender’s Ward</i> meant Konquest needed
10’s to hit, so Dave boosted both initials to hit and missed, bought and
boosted a third…and missed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so
unlucky as Kreoss would have been a smear if one of those P&S 22 fists had
landed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw a cheeky opportunity and
did a cunning trample with a Reckoner and scored a second control point, Kreoss
did the honerable thing and ran to hide behind a piece of cover on the
backfield.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was about ¼” away from
destroying Kreoss as the kill-box artifice was in play for this scenario.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Dave’s next turn his time was almost expired, but he
continued to press forwards, but luckily Kreoss was too high DEF and ARM
to be hurt by Konquests guns and Dave passed the turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw the opportunity and killed Kovnik Joe,
the only model in Dave’s pit and scored a third point to win the match.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In hind sight Dave really did deserve to win, my forgetting
to cast <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Defender’s Ward</i> set the pace
for Dave to pressure me attritionally and he should have landed one if not two
of those Konquest hits to kill Kreoss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Another fantastic game, super hard fought, though Dave had realised that
both of our positions in the tournament could not have been affected by the
outcome of the game (the field was so small mathematics dictated the result
after three rounds)!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Result: WIN AP:17</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So in the final standings I came first, Dave second and Luke
third.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>I managed to get maximum 100 points (4x20
points for gaming and 20 points for painting), I also managed to get the
highest AP’s (142) and I was very chuffed to secure Best Painted too – so a clean
sweep!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess with there only being six
players, four from Hull and my local gaming group of which only two were fully
painted meant competition was not as high as if there had been more players,
but nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed it and all my opponents gave me a hard fought and tough game!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many thanks to my four opponents who were all gents and could quite
easily have beaten me, just a few dice-rolls here and there could have easily changed
the results – cheers guys. :-)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
With quite short notice myself, Luke, Dave and Andy from the
Hull area decided to buy tickets
for Open War 18, due to take place this Saturday at Maelstrom Games, Mansfield.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tournament is locked-in now and there are
only 8 players, it appears that the team element has been cancelled so there
is a very real prospect that the four of us will end up playing one
another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since the field is so small I’m
hoping that the event will be really good fun and perhaps more light hearted than
a standard event. It would be very cool if the four of us could face the four of them in a kind of challenge, but I'm not sure that would suit the organisers or all players. Details of the event including rules pack can be found <a href="http://www.1stcompanyveterans.net/events/open_war_18.php">here</a>.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>List building </u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I decided to go with Kreoss1 and Feora2 for my two 35 point
lists and try out Severius1 at 50 points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As character restrictions are enforce across all three lists building a
good balance is tricky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having finished
the battle engine recently I felt that it should go in the Sevvy list; as per
the last entry I’m undecided on its worth at 9 points (taking the place of a
unit or ‘jack), but the thing is such a beautiful model I felt it deserved to
take pride of place when the armies are placed for painting judging, additionally it fits better at 50+ points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Feora2 also will get her first tournament
debut: though I am hesitant on the list change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Basically I dropped the bonded Templar in favour of a bonded Redeemer
and Gorman Di Wulfe and switched the Vanquisher to a Reckoner – from previous
play testing at 35 points. The Kreoss list is a slimmed down version of the 50 point ETC list that I've been happy with of late.</div>

Firstly, many thanks for the kind comments in the previous
entry, much obliged thanks :-)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This article will basically showcase the painted miniatures
I have mentioned in the previous couple of entries; Holy Zealots, Vassal Mechanic and
Vessel of Judgement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were all
painted in the same style as my previous Menites, picking out select panels for
the lilac; the colour which singles my personal army out from the standard colour
scheme, basing etc.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Holy Zealots</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Zealots came out quite well and they were quite nice to
paint, they’re one piece models, barring the Monolith Bearer and the poses are
all quite similar, but still I think the unit looks quite individual and good on
the battlefield.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Gaming-wise I’ve not fielded the
unit many times and need some practice to get the best out of
them, they have very short ranged weapons and not much cop in melee. I think their mini-feat makes them somewhat invulnerable for a round and can therefore be used to jam up an enemy unit for a turn. I think their bombs are better at using the blast damage rolls to clear out high DEF, low ARM troops, but anything with half way decent armour has laughed at them so far!</div>

[8] and therefore just above average to make the skill check, but not enough to
be reliable in my opinion, so 2-3 if points allow would be a better statistical

numerous ‘jacks and or the Vessel of Judgement then these “Menofixers” are a
great addition.</div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Gaming-wise, I’ve only had a couple of games with this machine now and
aren’t convinced it is worth the nine point investment, I think it will come
into its own at around 50+ points where it becomes difficult to field another
‘jack and you’ve already got a couple of decent units.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it kind of takes the place of one of
these and at less than 50 points the ‘jack or unit is more valuable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Might not be the case, but from less than a
handful of games using it at 35 points these are my thoughts!</div>

I have decided to try and get the whole Menoth faction
painted, something that I’ll likely not complete, but will certainly give it a
go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>iBodger collection manager has my
Menoth faction painting at about 50% so I guess I’m half way there already –
trouble is that the Judicator is calling as well as other shiny toys!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
After ogling the Judicator and sticking some unwanted
40K/WFB on eBay in an attempt to fund “Nick’s Menite Colossal fund” I felt I
should crack on with the Menoth Battle Engine; Vessel of Judgement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Podcasts seem to think this BE is the best
one, I’ve only field tested it once and didn’t really feel I got 9 points worth out of
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m going to field test it a bit
more however and feel that it is a stunning model and would make a great centre

I haven’t got any photos of the bare resin/metal, but
suffice to say that the sculpt was relatively clean, though there is always
some clean-up of mold lines etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
parts were a bit ill-fitting in places however I was able to make the worst of
it not be visible with greenstuff and filing down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The final assembly was pretty good and I
primed the model with Halfords car spray primer, then Citadel Chaos Black.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may not have been necessary, perhaps just
a hang up from the Forgeworld resin kits which needed stronger undercoats.</div>

As with many Menite models I start with the gold, as
discussed previously it is quite messy and I prefer to do it first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took some snaps of the before and after

‘warmth’ the chestnut wash adds to the gold.</div>

I started ‘the Dude’ who pulls the Vessel first, he was
painted not in-situ with the base, but rather on a piece of plastic with pins
holding him in place, basically because the 5” base is too big to handle!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally if you look carefully there are
pins and flat areas for the Vessel to sit comfortably when painted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The base needs tufts and static grass
applying, but this will be done when the Vessel is ready to be glued down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took extra care on the skin of the Dude as
he is a muscley fellow and took the opportunity to make those well
defined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Interestingly he has a huge
Menofix brand on his back which adds character, I’m not sure if he was very
naughty or very pious to get such a huge brand mark!</div>

removed her from the epic base.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given

I followed the standard Menoth colour scheme for her cloak
and armour etc, but I’ll elaborate on the gold a little more: the model firstly
took a heavy drybrush of P3 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rhulic Gold</i>
with a second coat to strengthen the colour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The next step was to do a further drybrush of P3 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Solid Gold</i>, this was applied less heavily than the first in order
to add highlight, rather than obliterate the effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Drybrushing is often seen as a less advanced
technique and somewhat negative, but I find that it takes some skill
and a lot of practice to get the consistencies and technique right for the desired effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gold at this stage looks strong and there
should be definition from black undercoat in the deepest crevasses to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Solid Gold</i> on the highest points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I usually allow the paint to cure for a short
while between coats as drybrushing can be quite abrasive, a good idea is to do
several models at once.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the
drybrushing is complete and the paint hardened a little I add my own gold wash,
it is basically Citadel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chestnut Ink</i>
and P3 Mixing Medium and clean water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The chestnut colour adds warmth and richness to gold whilst not matting
the sheen, however inks tend to pool and streak so medium is essential to get a
proper <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">wash</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I add clean water to simply dilute the
strength of the ink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve found that the
mixture needs to be strong enough to be seen, but not so strong it removes the
dark to light gradient generated by the drybrushing, this is inevitable to a
certain extent, hence the next step is to re-drybrush <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Solid Gold</i>, but only lightly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A good tip is to ensure the wash is 100% dry and had some time to cure
before drybrushing as this mistake will ruin everything…</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>In summary the two P3 golds are really good,
they provide a strong coverage and a rich colour, but the wash is what makes
the effect really work; hopefully you can see it in the photos.</div>

As you can see above in the photos of Feora2 she is standing
on a bonfire, this was a pain in the arse to do and hopefully it looks like
fire, I started from a black undercoat, as I’d sprayed the whole model months
ago, possibly not ideal I thought, but I don’t have any more white, so I tried
a top spray of grey primer and did a couple of heavy drybrushes of pure
white.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then tinted the whole thing
with Citadel Wash
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Baal Red</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This gave me the deep red in the nooks and
crannies up to a lighter red where the Citadel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Skull White</i> had chance to make a strong coverage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next I layer painted Citadel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">M. Solar </i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Orange</i> onto the
flames higher points, using the lighter red washed areas as a reference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I attempted to layer paint P3 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cygnar Yellow</i> onto the previous orange,
but found it did not lay well, therefore I painted Citadel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Skull White</i> instead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then,
over the top of the white I applied the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cygnar
Yellow</i>, the white giving me a good foundation to make the Yellow work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally I layered <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Skull White</i> onto the top most flaming highlights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The result was a layered flame effect from
dark red through orange and yellow, up to white.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similarly to the gold I made a wash to pull
the shades closer together- the mid shade being orange, so I mixed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cygnar Yellow</i> with P3 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Khador Red Highlight</i> and lots of medium
and some clean water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The resultant wash
was applied in several layers and had the effect of lightening the reds and
darkening the yellows and tinting the white to the desired effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Washing will bring colours closer together
and I managed to remove the stark changes in red/orange/yellow/white whilst
preserving the illusion of depth<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
After a brief tour of the Dark Side; Cryxian Bile Thrall
painting, a bit of playing Dirty Denny and Terminus I decided to crack on with
some more Menoth painting; primarily because I’m hoping to attend a couple of
tournaments in the near future (late October).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As regular readers will know I’ve been quite comfortable at 50 points
with Kreoss1 and field tested this extensively until I was as happy as I could
be with the choices for the ETC <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">et al</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve mused over other lists that would complement Kreoss1 in the
Steamroller 2012 constrictions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Initially I used Sevvy1, but in all honesty both lists fought the same way
and had a very similar unit composition so I needed something more
diverse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I considered various
Warcasters, but perhaps my main goal was to find a list which works as well as
the Kreoss1 list, doesn’t conflict with character restrictions and presents a
challenge tactically for me as well as my opponents.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I decided to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the
Kreoss1 list and try and go for something that filled whatever I was
missing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also wanted a list that
didn’t seem to boil down to Errants and two Reckoners, giving me something new
to paint and learn to use!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a nutshell
the Kreoss1 list is good at dealing with infantry whilst presenting a lot of
infantry to deal with itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt
that perhaps with the recent addition of Colossals to the meta I should try and
build a list that can deal with lots of armour as well as present that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To cut a long story short I settled on Feora2
as a Warcaster who could fit this niche.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I decided to go ‘jack heavy with a couple of very hard hitters, namely
the Avatar and a bonded Templar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Feora2
has two excellent ‘jack spells: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i>
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Escort</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The former simply adds +2 STR
and critical fire to a unit or model (so it can work on stuff besides ‘jacks),
this helps with the armour-cracking theory behind the list; as it is upkeepable
there are options for cycling it round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The latter, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Escort</i>, gives
warjacks in Feora2’s battlegroup +2 movement and grants her +2 ARM
if she is within 3” of one of those ‘jacks (not including the Avatar I might
add).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Extra speed on the slow-to-medium
speed Menite ‘jacks escalates them to fast, verging on ‘alpha-strike’ speed,
certainly a nice ability.</div>

As noted above I wanted to build a list which could crack
armour as well as present it, therefore I felt four heavies was the order of
the day, the Avatar being one of them for definite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I researched Feora2 on the interwebz for
ideas and poached the idea for the bonded Templar, I had initially considered
the Redeemer for the bond to take advantage of the continuous fire effect the
bond grants to ranged as well as melee weapons, however with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ignite</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hymn of Battle</i> and four focus this bad boy can hit as hard as the
Avatar, what is better than one Avatar?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Two of course!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So with two uber
hard hitting Avatar’s I felt that I would need some troop clearance and the
Vanquisher was almost mandatory, given I wasn’t going for the bonded
Redeemer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Initially I included two of
these, but later dropped one for a Reckoner, reasoning was that I had more
ranged melee threat with the Reckoner (SPD 5 and reach = 12” threat with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Escort</i>) which presents opponents with a
difficult question to answer.</div>

Regarding support I went for a minimum Choir, two Vassals,
two Vassal Mechanics, Gorman and Eiryss2 leaving 8 points spare for a
unit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously I considered Errants,
being so good, but wanted to include something that wasn’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that</i> unit, especially considering a Reckoner had sneaked into the
list already!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I field tested Bastions
and am still in two minds about them, but more than likely will settle on a
full unit of Holy Zealots plus Monolith Bearer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Eiryss2 ended up joining the party for upkeep removal duties, especially
if I am serious about killing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Arcane
Shielded</i> Stormwalls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gorman is there
to provide a bit of mobile cover for Feora2 early game and his grenades later
game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The double Mechanics are for
increased chances of repairs to the ‘jacks as fix-it [8] isn’t that
reliable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A full Choir and Wracks have
also been field tested, however this is the list (as it stands):</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Concluding thoughts:</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wanted a list which counterbalanced the Kreoss1 list and
the above specialises in cracking armour as well as presenting that
problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will provide a new painting
challenge and will give me some new units to learn how to use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although the list is geared towards armour it
can still deal with infantry with the Vanquisher’s 4” AOE, which can fire
twice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Zealots all have AOE’s too,
which have Critical Fire and finally Feora2’s feat allows me to move fire
around in her control area pinpointing key solos, troopers and UA’s etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So in essence a balanced list that meets my
criteria.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ll field test some more and possibly make more changes,
perhaps the Bastions and second Vanquisher will make it back into the list, I
even thought about the Battle Engine!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The next couple of articles will expand on the painting of Feora2, Holy
Zealots, Mechanics and converting a Crusader into the Templar!</div>
