Lokis Great Hall: 2nd Blog Birthday - Giveaway

If Loki is a blgo whore, I guess this makes me a blog pimp. But you should check his blog out anyway, because it is quite nice.

Warmachine Game Photos

My Ironclad takes down a Khador Heavy. First kill of the game! Burn, you Russki! BURN!

My Charger and Lancer taking on the other Khador.

Same fight, other side. This picture is funnier.

   Obviously, Zach is still in the process of assembling and painting his Khador 'jacks. And his infantry. And his war caster. I didn't take any pictures of the second game of the day, where my 14 year old brought Cygnar another stunning victory against Trollkin Hordes. Sorry about that, Noe.

One thing I noticed about this game is that the first few turns may go a little slowly, but the last three or so turns, there is massive snowballing carnage. I like that. It's a fun game, and I imagine I will invest in a few more models. I am looking at the Grenadier and the Defender. But if I do the Grenadier, I will definitely want to get some Trenchers, too. Maybe the Trencher Artillery, since that would mean a total of four Area of Effect templates in one turn. Add the Master Gunner, and I can call it in on top of my own troops with impunity...

RIP, Lady Thatcher

The Iron Lady has passed away, the last of the Freedom Triplets (Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and her.)

God bless her.

Cygnar Wins!

   Just finished playing my first game of Warmachine. Lots of good skirmishy fun.

   And I won!

   It all came down to the warcasters fighting in hand to hand, and Cygnar's Coleman Stryker slaughtered the Khadorian female warcaster with his sword. Chivalry may be dead, but she had it coming after wht she did to my poor Ironclad warjack.

   I also had a completely untouched Lancer warjack, while my Charger was also destroyed by the Khadorian warcaster. The last Khador warjack had only one damage box remaining when I took down the warcaster, ending the game.

   A few pictures were taken, and will follow, soon.

Victory for the Raj!

  My friends and I played a Mid-War Flames of War scenario on Saturday. My British Indian infantry helped out an American armoured infantry company in a breakthrough against two German companies. After occupying one of the two villages, they spent a good part of the next four turns acting as anti-aircraft protection for a pair of Tigers just a bit out of assault range. Eventually, they would shoot up a pair of anti-aircraft trucks (platoon kill!) and most of a panzergrenadier platoon, helping to clear one of the objectives for a platoon of Shermans to claim for the win.

 

  Yes, this is the world's briefest after action report. When I get the pictures out of the camera, I will add them. Promise!
