Iron Lich Overseer

2011-12-28T00:48:00.003+08:00

Forged from the consciousness of a trio of venerable iron liches, the overseer exists to command thralls and machines in the field. It slowly turns as the battle unfolds to allow each of its three faces to survey the enemy as it unleashes volleys of soul-claiming arcane fire, all the while hissing commands to the helljacks that follow it to war.

Circle Orboros' Baldur the Stonecleaver versus Cygnar's Captain Allister Caine

Force lists of Karl's Circle Orboros and Jeff's Cygnar here.

Bakerofish says: For last Friday's game I decided to use a list that I came up with on the spot. I really wanted to get more games with Baldur as my warlock. I felt that Kaya and Kromac were becoming crutches for me and I needed to learn how to use units more effectively. I love running beast-heavy and my 50 point list would reflect that. Since I'm playing on a higher pointage however, I had the opportunity to put in more troops.

Lately I've been favoring Tharn Bloodtrackers for their speed and annoyance factor and I've also been fielding the Skinwalkers as I really love the models. Personally speaking though I have never been happy with how the Skinwalkers would perform or not perform on the table but I feel like i just need to get used to them. My unfamiliarity with my unit choices would show pretty badly as the game progresses.

The basic idea I had with this list was to allow myself some strong assassination threats with a forest-walking Baldur being the biggest one I have. I could pretty much create forests on demand and failing that I could teleport one of my heavies into the fray. I also thought I had a decent set of speedbumps in the Bloodtrackers and Skinwalkers as I positioned myself for the assassination run.

I stuck with that gameplan throughout the game. While Baldur and the heavy constructs were well protected by forests and the feat, I found my troops rendered ineffective or outright killed. The annoying part was the fact that the list is slower and with a shorter threat range than what I normally have when playing Circle. I found myself clogging up my own movement lanes with he slower Skinwalkers and Constructs.

Jeff positioned himself well here, with the Longgunners combining attacks and doubletapping made quick work of some of the threats I posed and with the help of sucky luck with dicerolls I found my bloodtrackers failing to kill a Hunter and my Stalker wiffing several times on his berserk attacks, failing to wipe out the stormblade infantry

I found myself with several casualties by the 3rd turn with two units down. Since Jeff had Harlan Versh, my upkeep spells were suddenly a detriment and my Skinwalkers were eating boosted damage from the solo. I also lost my Stalker to double-tapping longgunners.

By rights I should've lost since all Jeff had to do was get Baldur in range of eCaine's revolvers and Baldur wouldve died byCaine's feat turn. What happened next was lady luck smiling at me.

I overextended my constructs with fury and found myself unable to transfer damage on Jeff's turn. I kept two fury on Baldur and prayed that Jeff doesn't see my mistake. Smelling blood, Jeff used his feat to try to take down Megalith in melee range but due to the construct's armor and wounds Jeff failed. Caine was standing base to base with Megalith.

with eCaine's high defense, hitting him in melee would normally be risky but I was able to bring his defense down to more mundane levels by using the shifting stones to 'port Megalith behind the gunman. I then activated Megalith to get the backstrike bonus, spent focus to activate the animus to bring down Caine's defense further. I then made a melee attack, boosting the attack roll and after severely hurting the warcaster, Caine found himself at defense 10 versus Megalith's MAT 7. Another boosted attack roll from the construct sealed the warcaster's fate.

Again, I was just extremely lucky to win this game.If Jeff noticed I had no means to transfer damage to my beasts I'm sure he would've won.

Trollbloods' Calandra Truthsayer, Oracle of the Glimmerwood versus Khador's Vladimir Tzepesci, Dark Champion of Umbrey
35PC Outflank, Outfight, Outlast

The old Brownglade riverbed has gone dry after weeks of being dammed up by Skorne forces led by Tyrant Xerxis. Trollbloods of the Havenstone Kriel implored for a solution to their predicament, and the great Oracle, Calandra, immediately offered her aid.

With Havenstone's best Fennblades and Burrowers alongside the warlock's warbeasts, Calandra headed east only to encounter a Khadoran war host led by the Dark Champion, Vladimir Tzepesci.

Battle lines were immediately drawn and both forces clashed on the dusty riverbed for control of a now-crucial location.

Trollkin Fennblades tied up the Iron Fang Uhlans on the east-side embankment while Pyg Burrowers tunneled up and primed their weapons for a charge

SJ's nifty Burrower template, so it will be easier to determine where they will emerge from the marker

Trollbloods hold their ground as Khadoran forces attempted to outmaneuver them.

A Dire Troll Bomber (yeah that's supposed to be a Bomber) eyed Eiryss suspiciously on top of a muddy crest

Drago and Doom Reavers solidified the Khadoran left flank

Burrowers prepared to charge the abominable Doom Reavers

SJ Quema, always a masterful opponent to play against

Chaos in the Trollblood lines as Burrowers failed their Command check against the Abomination caused by the Doom Reavers

Calandra's Star-crossed foiled the casterkill run by this Man-O-War Drakhun!

After shoving around the dismounted Man-O-War Drakhun with Befuddle, the Dire Troll Bomber failed to deal enough damage to bring down the Khadoran horse lord. With Hand of Fate, the Man-O-War Drakhun advanced and shot off a Shield Cannon shell, which downed the Oracle of Glimmerwood!

Force lists of SJ's Trollbloods and Kim's Khador here.

PG shink1m says: Another epic battle between my red army and SJ's Trollbloods. I was unable to get to his warbeasts on my feat run - the Bomber was on top of a high bridge, while the Impaler was too far back. The luck of the game swung more to my favor on the early part of the game when SJ's Burrowers failed their Command check when they charged the Doom Reavers with Abomination. But the Bomber that went Donkey Kong while on top of that 2-inch high bridge made me overextend just to get his Impaler (so it none of his force will get that extra range animus). Looking back, a smarter move on my part would have been giving Assail to Drago and have him bash up against the Bomber on the bridge. On the later part of the game, if the Bomber managed to kill my MOW Drakhun, it would have been game over for me, as it would have just sat there and flung bombs all day. Upkeeping Hand of Fate on that dismounted Drakhun and SJ failing his Tough roll made the game for me. A classic match up!

2011-05-06T14:26:00.005+08:00

Constance Blaize is a resolute champion of Morrow who leads her Precursor Knights into battle against the unholy terrors that threaten all of mankind. Her greatest foes are the sprawling nightmare empire of Cryx and the vile servants of the dark god Thamar. Empowered by her faith, Blaize fights for her god and her nation with fervor inspired by the holy ascendants she reveres.

A fanatic assassin able to move between the bounds of life and death, Thyra, Flame of Sorrow is the peerless commander of the Daughters of the Flame. Her twin swords, Grief and Lament, weave a path of razor-edged destruction through the enemy ranks as she leads her sisters into battle. Thyra has become a living weapon of the Menite cause, her body and soul devoted to avenging the injustices carried out by those who oppose the Creator.

A specialist in the acquisition of lore from the dead, Lord Exhumator Scaverous is one of the most potent and intelligent servants of the Nightmare Empire. Souls are both ammunition and fuel for Scaverous. Those he slays and casts aside are fortunate compared to any possessed of special lore, whose skulls and souls he preserves for horrific necromantic interrogation.

Khador’s Iron Wolf has earned a reputation as a peerless master of heavy armor on the battlefield, a war hero beloved by his men and respected even by the enemies of the Motherland. He is famous for his ability to move large numbers of warjacks at an unprecedented pace to arrive where the enemy least expects him. Where Harkevich and his iron army stride, the enemy finds itself hounded, outmaneuvered, cornered, and eventually obliterated by overwhelming firepower.

The fundamental laws of reality twist and shatter beneath the will of Ossyan, Lord Arcanist of House Vyre. Time bends with but a gesture from him, and he can alter his perception to see the convergence of fate. Armed with perfect foresight he is a deadly combatant and battlefield general. Ossyan’s myrmidons and soldiers move with the assurance of destiny as he unleashes House Vyre’s sophisticated armaments upon the enemies of the Retribution.

Cygnar Storm Strider

2011-02-28T07:50:00.000+08:00

David “DC” Carl, Development Manager

The Storm Strider represents the largest battlefield implementation of Stormsmith technology, so it's only natural that Cygnar's battle engine bears some resemblance in game play to the Stormsmith Storm Tower light artillery. The power of the lightning fields drawn to this towering storm's eye exceed those of smaller lightning staves or rods, and the nimbus of voltaic energy surrounding the tower focuses the electrical blasts of nearby Storm Knights on Cygnar's foes.

As with all the battle engines, the Storm Strider went through numerous changes throughout the development and playtest cycle, but the true constant was its ability to send powerful bolts of lightning arcing deep into enemy lines. Unlike artillery models, though, there are a number of good reasons to get the Storm Strider into the action. As noted above, it assists nearby Storm Knight blasts, but it also builds up an increasing static charge from enemy attacks. This causes a damaged Storm Strider to become more and more deadly as the battle progresses—this poor Winter Guard can certainly tell you all about that.

Retribution Arcantrik Force Generator

2011-02-28T07:42:00.001+08:00

The arcantrik force generator is a massive engine of war that houses one of the most devastating and complex weapons in the arsenal of the Retribution of Scyrah. Its teleforce cannon, which fires concentrated bursts of kinetic energy, represents the very pinnacle of Iosan arcane science. Blasts from the force generator shatter anything they touch, reduce the ground to craters and rubble, and fling enemies aside like broken dolls.

This model is composed of resin and white metal components.

Pitshop Gaming, 2011-02-09

2011-02-10T03:13:00.003+08:00

First midweek game at Pitshop for 2011!

The games were brought to you by Pan De Manila (sort of)!

Dramatis personae: Dick Sy (eThagrosh), Kim Navarro (pIrusk), SJ Quema (Grissel)

Game 1
Kim's pIrusk victorious over Dick's eThagrosh
35 PC SR2011 Sacrifice, win via concede
Dick fails his gamble with a beast pincer maneuver, a Rabid Shredder missing a crucial attack on Kommandant Irusk. With a failed spell, Thagrosh found himself surrounded by angry Khadoran soldiers and with limited time at the venue, Dick decided to hand me a victory.

My Khador force deployed amidst some raging river waters

Dick deploying his beast-heavy Legion of Everblight

A big chunk of Khador rushing towards the flag, while Winter Guard advance towards the control point

Winter Guard cross the river inspired by Kovnik Grigorovich's speech!

A Legion Spell Martyr advances forward to meet the Khadoran force

Behemoth with Superiority! Widowmakers with Iron Flesh! Winter Guard affected by Courage of the Forefathers!

Game 2
Dick's eThagrosh victorious over SJ's Grissel
35 PC SR2011 Sacrifice, win via concede
The Scythean unleashes massive attacks that denied the Trollbloods' Tough rolls! A Forsaken brings down a Champ in melee! With no more hard hitting infantry and a charge to eThagrosh denied by a cloud, SJ taps out.

SJ's Grissel Bloodsong faces off against Dick's Messiah of Everblight!

A very TOUGH front line!

A veritable trainwreck as Trollbloods crash against the Legion warbeasts!

Generals observing the battlefield

Trollbloods charge to bring down a deadly Legion Scythean!

Typhon defiant against the incoming Trollblood Champions!

The battle was taken to the fields and lawns of this innocent farming community

SJ cleaning up position of his infantry traffic!

SJ's dead pile, plus a shot of my newly-bought legit PP Khador tokens

A Legion Forsaken charges a Trollblood Champion and bringing it down!

Both players survey the aftermath of the Legion counterattack!

The savage Legion beasts advance steadily, chomping down on the rest of Grissel's force!

Thagrosh's attacks cause eruptions of thick clouds, blocking any chance of a charge from the Trollblood warlock!

Pardon the oversized close up images. It's the first time I took pics using my new phone.

Plus some information:

*well...not really rumors as these are from the panel at Templecon

Domination news: 10 new warlocks. 4 epics, 4 normal, 2 minions. Battle engines (some "hungry"). New character warbeasts.

Character jacks/beasts will continue having upgrade kits. But full kits are still possible. Wrath has another set of new character jacks!

Wrath will have 6 warcasters

Searforge will be getting new stuff and will be explored but no specific timing. By end of 2012 there "may" be another Rhulic warcaster.

Iron King of the Hill Tourney: The Testing of Absylonia

2011-01-30T20:45:00.003+08:00

Here's some of the pics I took for my games in the recent Iron King of the Hill Mini-tournament.

The mini-tourney were 25 point battles. My list is as follows:

Absylonia
Angelius
Scythean
Typhon

Yes, just 4 models.

I wasn't able to take a pic of my first game. As a summary, my opponent was Scriverner and Aurelio and basically out attritioned me, killing all my beasts and leaving me with just my Warlock. I paid dearly in this battle with only 4 models to take on the the attacks of more than 25 models.

In my second game, I managed to take some pics. My opponent was using Epic Asphyxious and Bane Army. I managed to hold my own with Typhon doing the heavy work, surviving the Bane Thralls' assault. In the end I managed to outpoint Fred 10-9 in points cost killed. Here are some pics of my game vs Fred:

In my third game, I went up against Jake. He was using Kraye and Storm Lances army with Centurion and Defender warjacks. I won this one because Jake didn't quite manage to put his caster into the Kill Box zone. We still decided to finish the game to see how things would go. Here are the pics of our battle:

Typhon again was instrumental in tarpit-ting the Storm Lances.

Other pics i took:

Jake's Storm Lances facing Pat's Trolls:
