Breaking News: Age of Sigmar Leaks

Before I returned to 40k, I was dabbling with my Orcs and Goblins for quite awhile. Age of Sigmar is the new Fantasy and there are obviously changes coming and I welcome it. I guess everyone is excited about the release and here are some amazing leaks. 

GW really made it simpler

Formations for Fantasy. I like it already! 

Legiones Custodes?

Meoew!

FOR SANGUI....

I hope 3D scenery comes back into play instead of those 2D cutouts

It's hammer time!

X Wing League Week 2 and Nagash

Week 2 and I got 4 more games. Played Jeremy, Andreas, Roy and Dale. Managed to beat Jeremy, Roy and Dale but lost to Andreas. He is currently the leader of the pack so looks like I may not get dibs into the prizes. Dang. 

Game with Dale who brought a 4 Interceptor + PTL. Excellent flying although I am not convinced by PS6 pilots. 

Batrep: Skarsnik vs Morathi

Really glad that Defeng has joined the Blood in the Badlands Campaign held at Titan. He put a 2000 point force and off we went to Titan Games for our game. 

Added 3 Trolls, 2x5 Wolves to my list from the extra points

Batrep Dwarves/Dark Elves vs Wood Elves

Saturday saw everyone gathered again at Daniel's place for a dose of Fantasy after a looooong break. We were playing Dwarf/DE vs new book Wood Elves at 2.5k per player. Pictures are already up, so without further ado, let's discuss the battle.
My 2.5k army. On the small side to squeeze in my Pegasus Lord. 

1 24x Witchelves block with Cauldron of Blood in its midst, 
2 RxB units of 10 each. 
2 units of Warlocks at the back. 
3 RBTs cos of points,
a lvl 4 Supreme and a lvl 2 Sorc both Life lore.
1 Hydra and 1 Khardibyss rounds up my small elite army.
Daniel's Dwarves. Big on infantry blocks with a few war machines.

2 blocks of 30 warriors, 
1 block of 20 hammerers
1 block of 25 ironbreakers
1 block of 20 miners
2 units of crossbows
1 cannon
2 bolt throwers
1 Gyrocopter
1 Gyrobomber.

Daniel and I decided to push heavily down the left flank and this flank has all our heavies. All 5 infantry blocks are lined up on the left with a Hydra, Warlocks, 1 RBT, Cannon, Crossbows and Bolt Thrower as support. Behind my Hydra was a RxB unit holding both my Sorceress.

Batrep: Night Goblins vs High Elves

I played this battle last week and meant to put it up sooner but work took the better part of my time. Here it is. I played a 1800 points of Night Goblins led by Snarsnik against the High Elves of Alarielle played by Dennis Sng. This was part of the Blood in the Badlands Campaign by Titan Games. 

The mission was a little strange. Something that Rico of Titan Games cooked up. We rolled the following terrain. 

Everything ready

My level 4 Nigh Goblin Shaman rolled these up

Deployed most of my stuff on this Scree Slope. I repositioned my Rock Lobba once we found out that I needed LOS

Skarsnik Marches to War

I kickstart my turn on the Titan Games Blood in the Badlands campaign this evening. I will play with my Night Goblin army and my first opponent will be Darren who is controlling the High Elves. Thought I show you guys the map. I will update after the game!

I am late to the party as most players have claimed areas. Uphill work for this Goblin

My first game against Darren's High Elves

1800 Points of Night Goblins

Just got back from a 2 week break to Japan so have not really been working extensively on my models. I did however get some time yesterday evening to break out my Night Goblins for an upcoming campaign called Blood in the Badlands. 

The only exception to the norm is that you need to include 2 special characters. I looked at my OAG book and found that the two cheapest Lord and Hero. So here you have it, Skarsnik and Snaggla, leading my 1800 points of Night Goblins. 

I will be playing some Fantasy between my 40k gaming just to throw a little diversity into my gaming diet. 

The horde gathers again

Fresh in the box. Sure glad I didn't sell them off! 

Work still continues on my Eldar in preparation for my game on 12th May with Abdullah as the store has a fully painted policy.

Also, Sam will be running a narrative campaign for 40k really soon. He has already sent me the draft and I am hoping to draw in some committed players for this 3 turn campaign. I will let Sam fill everyone in. 

Warlock and Farseer on Jetbike WIP

Added more layers to the Warlock on Jetbike. I have also added the colour block-in for my banner. Added in the highlight for the jetbike carapace with Pink Horror. I was surprised because I used a simple drybrush technique and the end result was actually very smooth. I was half expecting it to come out flaky but because I used very thin layers, the gradient was very pleasing. Pink Horror has a slight orange tinge to it so if you are thinking of doing the same for Craftworld Altansar, you've been warned! 

The gentle drybrush. This was layer 1.

Started washing in the base colours for the back banner

While the jetbike was drying, I started using the new smaller diameter magnets for my Night Goblins. 

Focussed on the bike and got the carapace done up. Also added the highlights to the gems. 

More angles to show the drybrush to the carapace. 

Added gentle gradients to the wing tips and blocked in the colours for the Lion Banner

Started blocking out colours for my Farseer on Jetbike

Underside of the cape is Bleached Bone

I have to own up though. This post was created awhile ago but I forgot to publish it for some reason (this was done prior to my Guardian repaint). I have resolved to change the Bleached Bone parts to pure white similar to my Guardians to create the clean look. Once I have done this, I will put the photos up for you to enjoy! 

BREAKING NEWS: Lizardmen Pictures

I'm not sure if you guys have seen this but I just came across it on a very popular rumour forum. YX is going to be very excited. Enjoy the pics fellas! 

Video Batrep: 2500 Points of Orcs & Goblins vs High Elves

Got a game of Fantasy in with Defu who is our resident High Elf player.

I changed my list from the previous games and now included 2 units of 20 Night Goblin archers instead of 2 blocks of 49 Night Goblin Spears. Head on over to the YouTube channel and watch the following batrep! And as always, please leave a comment!

These are the pictures from the game. Please refer to the batrep if you want to know what went on in the game!
