A quest of chaotic compulsions (painting/gaming blog)

[Elgis]

Thanks.

I do like that snow terrain a lot.

[wasteman]

Thanks!

This week I finally got round to painting up some of my arcworlde figures. Added some noses to make these huge orc types into ogres. So much fun to paint!

[warburton]

Nice work (I like bright green bases though....  )

[beefcake]

Those noses work so well. Nice one.

Had an awesome game against my mate Kev today. My chaos were attacking his dwaves at their fort. Kev's castle is just so cool, very glad he dug it out! It was a lot of fun and I lost horribly as per usual




The advance begun

My Ogres managed to charge some brave gyrocopters pretty early on yet some how only managed to take out one chopper


The advance continued

I had no idea how tough warmachines are in combat, my ogres bounced like a beach ball

By this point my trolls had been annihilated by a single shot from a flame cannon... those things are brutal!

Now hugely outnumbered i called for sudden death and aimed for his general, but it didn't help and my lord got smashed in the face while being shot with several cannons...


My ogres and giant had a taste for smoked dwarf...

Turns out a unit of 50 dwarves is actually pretty good...

By this stage all was lost and I fled back to the warp

His less than impressive pile of corpses:

And my casualties...

Spent my Sunday evening painting some skeletons

[Major_Gilbear]

Absolutely beautiful models! You trolls and ogres in particular are stand-outs for me. 

[Braxandur]

I have no words for your pictures...   

Don't stop bringing the good work to here so I can keep drooling over it. The last post, those are some Wargames factory aren't they? I'm also putting a few together and while that is quite a task, I really like them as well

You might consider just going for the crew next time and just leave the warmachine undamaged. Without any crew it's not really a danger

[wasteman]

Thanks guys! The ogres were probably the most fun to paint. It makes me sad that I only have three left unpainted

They are indeed wargames factory skellies. Lovely figures!

I was under the impression that your opponent picks who takes wounds in a unit. I will have another read of the rules.

In other news it looks like my otherworld rulebook has been dispatched!

[Braxandur]

Ooh Otherworld miniatures; I have a feeling that this thread will get even nicer

Just went through the entire Age of Sigmar rulebook and could not find anything about wound allocation, which for me just means that you hit and wound the model that you are in contact with. Off course it's possible that there is already an errata that is longer than the rules

I may or may not have just purchased some gorgeous centaurs... hopefully i can use them in their game!

The rules are actually pretty specific about targeting the unit as a whole rather than individual figures. It then goes on to say that your opponent distributes damage as they see fit. Seeming as the crew and war machine are part of the same unit, they can use its better armour save then mix and match the damage across the whole unit.


Ok so i've been busy painting more skeletons tonight, but not had as much time as my books turned up so I've had a bit of a busy week with real 'work'
 

[wasteman]

Had another fantastic battle yesterday! This time against my friend Martin's Dark Elves.
My mission was to defend the necromancer's abode, which I did, thus claiming a glorious victory!
His table was gorgeous. All my friends have better scenery than me, considering I run a miniatures company I should probable do something about that...
Anyway here are some photos from the game (apologies for the quality, Gandalf's blinding light was shining through the living room)

[nic-e]

That's a really pretty looking table,with some pretty looking armies to boot!

Gad to see it's not just me enjoying AoS so much!

[robh]

Incredible looking games, lovely miniatures, great skill to be able to take mass produced models and change/resculpt them to suit your own ideas and preferences.

[OSHIROmodels]

That looks a grand game 

cheers
