Painting Sigvald, the Magnificient

My first thing to paint for Age of Sigmar in... well, ages. I had this mini primed and mounted to be painted for at least a year. Now, I rewatched this awesome tutorial by the Warhipster and got to work, following it loosely.

Hedonites of Slaanesh vs Beasts of Chaos, 04.06.2024

I managed to arrange another game of Sigmar in preparation for the next phase of the escalation league; at least it was a short one. We upped the points to 1500 and played a game of Spring the Trap. My Hedonites faced a null deployment of Quakeherd.

Hedonites of Slaanesh vs Kharadron Overlords

Still in the grip of  Age of Sigmar after the weekend event, I was eager to try out a new list based on what I learned. Basically nothing can take a hit, so I slashed Syl'Esske and 10 Daemonettes in favor of 2 cavalry squads to act as fast screens.

We rolled up Limited Resources, and I was made to go first. Time to spread across the board!

Hedonites of Slaanesh vs Slaves to Darkness

Third game: Nexus Collapse. 

Hedonites of Slaanesh vs Ogor Mawtribes

 Second game: Fountains of Frost.

Hedonites of Slaanesh vs Flesh Eater Courts

First game: Geomantic Pulse. I bunched up in a corner, with a gathering of horrible monsters on the opposite side.

Age of Sigmar Escalation League: 1000 points event

We kicked off an Escalation League with a small event: 1000 points, 8 players. Given that it's an escalation league, I thought it best to start with a new army. Well, it's not technically new, I've been working away at it for some time, but my first game with them (and my first game of Sigmar since 2022) was literally last week. I lost the pictures so no battle report of that.

I threw together a random list of the most expensive things I own painted, so as to not have to learn everything at once. Obviously, I got my butt kicked. But I think I understand some mechanics now.

We played 3 games, here are the battle reports:

• vs Flesh Eater Courts
• vs Ogor Mawtribes
• vs Slaves to Darkness

They are all short and sweet, as somebody was tabled turn 3 latest, and then we just math'd out the games for points purposes. It's why I didn't detail battle tactics. If you want the short version, I tried for killy ones during the first two turns, and then positioning ones later.

I feel back in the game now though, and might just be motivated enough to paint up more stuff. Especially some screening units, because nothing can take a hit.

Maggotkin of Nurgle vs Slaves to Darkness, 19.11.2022

After a 7 month hiatus, here I am back for Age of Sigmar! The prize of Gallet scenario was played out between my no-Plaguebearers or galetian veterans of any kind Maggotkin versus a horde of Chaos Warriors.

Legion of the First Prince vs Maggotkin of Nurgle, 08.04.2022

The Legion of the First Prince, led by the brother Bloodthirsters, faces off against a mixed force of Nurgle mortals and daemons in 1500 points of... whatever this is. Whoever designed this L shaped deployment is a psycho.

Legion of the First Prince vs Kharadron Overlords, 24.03.2022

Introduction

The one tournament participant I was not able to face - the Kharadron Overlords - are here to rumble in  2000 points of Feral Foray!

Age of Sigmar tournament

We had a local tournament last weekend. Much to my surprise, I was able to participate. Here are the 3 games I played:

• Legion of the First Prince vs Soulblight Gravelords
• Legion of the First Prince vs Lumineth Realmlords
• Legion of the First Prince vs Sylvaneth

I pulled off 2 wins and a tie, which was the same as the Lumineth Realmlords (my nemesis!). I lost off tiebreakers, thus taking second place. For some reason I also got a prize, so here's me proudly holding on to it.

I enjoyed the list that I played, even though I was consistently disappointed by the lack in damage output. Except for the Great Unclean One, gods bless his Fourfold blade-carrying nurglings. I guess I am forever destined to play grindy survivor armies that win on points.

Legion of the First Prince vs Sylvaneth, 06.03.2022

Introduction

The final game of the tournament had me facing the beautifully painted Sylvaneth in The Veins of Ghur.

Legion of the First Prince vs Lumineth Realmlords, 05.03.2022

Introduction

The second game of the tournament had me facing my dreaded and hated foe, the Lumineth Realmlords in Power in Numbers. 

Battle round 1

The Lumineth ceded priority, so I cautiously advanced doing Ferocious Advance as well. I put down a squad of Plaguebearers as a vanguard.

Legion of the First Prince vs Soulblight Gravelords, 05.03.2022

Introduction

The first game of the tournament had me facing the undead hordes of the Soulblight Gravelords in Feral Foray. The enemy deployment consisted of a couple of heroes and some Felbats.

Legion of the First Prince vs Beasts of Chaos, 2022.02.20

Introduction

I'm hoping to catch next month's local Age of Sigmar tournament, so here's a practice game with 2000 points of Legion of the First Prince (taking only battleline this time along with the 3 big monsters) versus the new Beasts of Chaos using White Dwarf rules.

Deployment in... the Veins of Ghur

53 models on my side... and I'm still vastly outnumbered. I don't know how to feel about that...

Legion of the First Prince vs Seraphon, 2022.01.05

Introduction

Even though Be'lakor is only half painted, I decided to take him out for a ride against some Coalesced Seraphon in this 2000 point game of Feral Foray (I think) along with his friends Virulax and Arbra'Gax. Up against them is a horde of assorted dinosaurs, lizards and frogs.

Legion of the First Prince vs Idoneth Deepkin, 2021.08.10

Introduction

1250 points of Idoneth Deepkin clash with the lackeys of Be'lakor on this beautiful desert map in The Vice battleplan.

Khorne vs Kharadron Overlords, 2021.07.08

Introduction

My first Age of Sigmar game since October and my first ever 3rd edition game, back against my old foes: the Kharadron Overlords, in a 1000 point game of Burn and Pillage.

Blades of Khorne vs Lumineth Realm-lords, 2020.10.14

Introduction

Arbra'Gax dragged himself back to the mortal realms to face down the pointy elves in the Battle for the Pass.

Blades of Khorne vs Kharadron Overlords, 2020.10.07

Introduction

For the first time since March, Arbra'Gax walks the Mortal Realms again! And it was time to clash with the Kharadron Overlords in... the Duality of Death.

The table

Let's take a moment to admire this beautiful table, with all painted terrain.
