Along with others from the aforementioned journeyman league and thanks to a rather tasty discount I now get I decided to have a play around with something new. I’ve been wanting to try hordes for a while but none of the main factions really attracted me apart form Minions. Maybe it was the cool models, the rules or the fact that they are still an evolving faction and not many people play them but whatever it was, they sure looked fun 😉
So one of the first new ranges we got down at the shop was Dystopian wars, something I’ve seen around at Maelstrom a few times but never looked too closely at.
After getting a better feel of it me and a few of the lads have picked up some naval battlegroups.
So the influx of Warmahordes players down at the new game store has been so overwhelming that, along with The Outpost, I decided to put together a Journeyman league!
SO…
Yes I have been absent a while, shall we say quite a while even but all in a good cause I can assure you! For the past 2 weeks I have been working my butt off getting a shop in sheffield up and running, what kind of shop you may ask? Well a Wargames store of course! Ladies and gentlemen welcome to The Outpost. Continue reading
Part 3 of my SmogCon report will be up soon but in the meantime I wanted to  shout out for a new site that was officially announced last. The brainchild of the same guys that brought us SmogCon, they started out Livestreaming Vassal games and have now created a full site aimed at being a real centre of the community.
Well what a weekend. All I can say is that I have never played Warmachine, or any other wargame for that matter, like that before. Absolutely fantastic weekend and I was just too tired to do anything when I got back Sunday. Needless to say this has left me with a lot to talk about to in the next coming days I’ll post up a few articles about the con itself, the games and lots of photos!
I would like to apologise for the lack of live coverage whilst I was there as the only bad thing about my weekend was that I had such an issue trying to get a good internet signal, just tweeting was a chore! Anyways I’ll make up for it over the next few days so stay tuned!
So I return with tidings! My apologies guys for the lack of fresh material recently, I’ve been pretty busy with work and lifes other little joys and most of my free time has gone into preparing for Smogcon! On this subject I do have a few little things to show so lets get to it!
So after a big clearout I was given an Orc bloodbowl team by a friend who got out of the hobby years ago. I’ve always wanted to play the game as it looks awesome fun but never got round to it…well now I don’t have a choice it seems!
JT-Y was very polite to answer my questions about conversions during one of the last articles so I thought I’d return the favor and pimp this out for him.
Now, hand on my heart, this is my favorite paint job ever. It is just perfect in my eyes and if I can achieve even a fraction of the result on my own models I will be a very happy man! Also a fairly renowned force as it appeared on the PP Insider!
No surprise then that he is not going to let this go at a bargain price so be prepared to dish out some serious dosh if you want to get your hands on it. More photos after the break but you can find the original sale post here.
