Skorne starter set (with a difference)

So after many many years I have finally finished my Skorne starter set! And by many years I mean it came with the MkI cards and I got it at Salute (well, I think it was Salute but I could be wrong) the first year they were available! So as you can tell they have been sitting around for some time.

I have only used these once which can be found here I didn't use Morghoul as I had the Naaresh figure and thought I'd go with him, but I have decided if/when I play these I will stick with Morghoul.

Used with kind permission of Riot 

So as you can see from the picture most of them were complete, it was just the Brute that needed finishing.

So here he is:

 

This guy is a must for Morghoul, because a knocked Morghoul is dead Morghoul! His Animus is Safeguard, which means no knockdown and reduced slam distance.

Morghoul in all his low armoured glory!

The only thing I dont like about this model is the gloves, we are beyond Edward Scissorhands and are in the Morghoul Garden Shearshands region.

The Gladiator...

What a beast! The only problem with his almighty slam is that you cam slam and follow up out of Morghouls control area, so you can't force for more attacks.

The Cyclops Savage.

 

Nice all round light, can dish out some damage, and the fact that can boost after rolling means you should always get the best out of him.

So far I'm doing well on the painting front, but I still have 13 Goblins to paint for the 19th...

I mentioned in my last blog about the Stotic Arms from 4Ground, well I just got the confirmation E-mail that its been sent, so stay tuned for massive Inn action...

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon.

Life the Universe and Wargaming plus a bit of Circle of Orboros

Life the Universe and Wargaming.

Apologies for the total lack of any Blogs, but as you see I have a been a bit busy...

Life, we shall leave work well alone at this point, but I still have a job which is a plus.

My missus has MS and has been in and out of hospital a lot recently, she is ok but has been in all this week after having an emergency operation. So between the kids, work and hospital, lets just say its been fun! The main reason for her MS flaring up a lot recently is that her mother has terminal cancer which as I guess you can probably tell has caused a bit of stress, which is really bad for her. So all in all a bit shit really, I have only had one moment where I totally lost it but am keeping on top of things.

The Universe as the song goes is evolving and revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned... and what with the new encroaching galaxy they have found coming the opposite direction from the Big Bang it's all exciting times. But as we are all still here and life races on I will take that as another positive (gotta take 'um where you can hay?).

Wargaming as I also guess you can probably tell has taken a major back seat, I have only made it to my club twice in about 3 months and played one game of Warmachine and was introduced to a new board game (well new for me anyway) called Stone Age, which was really novel for me as you don't actually kill anything, its a resource management game where the person with the most at the end wins. Its a well thought out game but does look like it could carry on a bit, we played a very short version and it lasted a good few hours. It also involves a lot of maths, which to be honest at the moment I can really do without the extra thinking.

I have managed to paint about half of the High Reclaimer and a few Circle bits for Warmahordes, which to be honest is pretty pathetic for all this time. But again to be honest when I do have a bit of free time (that just made me laugh) I really have not been in the mood to do anything. It's kinda funny really as when I don't have the time I really want to do something, a bit of a paradox I guess.

But I am really looking forward to getting back to the club on a more regular basis (famous last words) and will leave you with some pictures of my circle stuff to date and the hope that it will not be so long next time. 

The Gorax is possibly the worst model from Privateer Press I have ever seen, but it was a freebie and works well on the table.

The Feral Warpwolf is a great warbeast, all be it with a limited Animus.





 The Argus Hound is not too shabby for 4 points and with the ability to hand out pathfinder to heavies is a must in the current list I am working on.

The Winter Argus has 2 spray attacks and an armour buffing Animus, pity it only works on itself and the Warlock.









Thanks for stopping buy and hope to see you again soon (honest I will really try).
