The third game against an unknown opponent and list, with some beautiful models. All movement trays converted with models glued in, and dice used as wound counters. Consult the score here but for some reason the guy changed his mind at the last moment and brought Starks (or, well, Umbers) instead of Baratheons. I pulled out my zoo, ready to hold the table quarters.
First game: familiar list, completely new opponent. I decided on doing my killy (?) infantry list, but with bear support this time, as the eagles did nothing in the warm-up game. I marked the two lightly armored units for kill points, while my opponent marked Spearwives and a bear.
Game 2 against another Gregor Clegane-lead Lannister list. With 5 objectives on the board, I pulled out my zoo. As expected, the side with the Honor Guard, reinforced by the Crossbowmen, seemed lost from the start. I instead focused on the other flank. With Bonded Command, I had my Wolfpack fly up and pin down the Knights.
These things are getting bigger and bigger! Now with 10 participants. 3 games. One day. Lots of PETA-based jokes relating to my zoo list.
For the technical details, see the link.
For general impressions, I wasn't feeling too far left behind. With some polishing, I think the Free Folk hold up.
And finally, for the games:
Choo-choo, goes the hobby train.
Warhammer 40k against brand new opponents. ASOIAF local tournament with practice games. More Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Finishing the Golden Vault series. More Monty Python. I just love the amount of gaming I can get in. This should continue, with more D&D, perhaps some CoC, and more Warhammer.
Painting wise, I did get another ASOIAF commission, just in time for that tournament I mentioned. I did finish some Astra Militarum and D&D minis as well, but I just couldn't fit in a photo session, hence the double story time this week. There was also a lot of assembly time, as I magnetized and LED-enabled two, count them two, brand new Guard vehicles.
I'll start May by doing some simple D&D commissions - helps me pump up those numbers. I am almost on time with the count, hampered by the bucketload of nuns I received so far. Speaking of, I'll finish the rest of my nun scions, and as much of their new rides as I can. Then, I can try out the Bridgehead Strikforce.
My initial plan of finishing everything Astra Militarum related in Q1 is in ruins, but at least Q2 should be enough for the rest of the pending artillery and vehicles. Then I can get back to painting those 40+ converted and primed chaos marines... maybe.
After last session's combat, the adventurers sensibly decided to... again try long resting in the same room. Sigh. Not even blocking a door with Stella[1] could hold back the tide of vampires, cultists and bat swarms. The ambush was pretty slick, and a dark mage paralyzed Szivem. She spent most of the time being scratched by bats.
