[Open Combat] Chaos Warriors

Finished up another warband for Open Combat last week, and snapped a photo over the long weekend - my Chaos Warriors!

Once again, Open Combat has motivated me to dust off models from another failed project - these models are from the Age of Sigmar starter set.

[Open Combat] Dwarves

This was actually my first warband for Open Combat, but I've been dragging my feet on snapping a photo - so here is my seven-strong Dwarven warband for Open Combat!

These are made up from the Avatars of War range of Dwarves, and were intended to be a Kings of War Dwarf army (for the original 1st edition of the system!) but never saw the table, so it was awesome to actually get these stunties painted and onto the tabletop.

[Open Combat] More Games

I had another great night of gaming playing Open Combat, managing to squeeze in two games on a cold Saturday night.

In the first game my newly painted Elven warband took on Hun'ta and his band of Orcs in the Capture scenario, which ended HILARIOUSLY as one of my Elven Rangers, with assistance from the Elven Captain, shot an Orc (carrying an objective) off the board, allowing the Orcs to claim the win!

The second game was the standard Kill game, with my Dwarves (with an extra Warrior) stealing victory against Hun'ta and his warband.

Here are some photos - I'm already working on my next warband for Open Combat, so stay tuned!

[Open Combat] Elves

My next warband for Open Combat are Elves! I love these models, and have had them lying around for ages, but haven't had the motivation to paint them - until I discovered Open Combat!

[Open Combat] First Game!

A new local gaming club has started up nearby, so I spent a few hours on Saturday night playing my first game of Open Combat!

We made a LOT of mistakes, but had a really great time - and are we're both working on new warbands and looking forward to our next game.

[Deadzone] Starting Forge Fathers Strike Team

Here's my starting Forge Father Strike Team at 100 points.
I thought I'd put my faith in Mantic Games, and start with the example Forge Father list that they've recommended in the rulebook.

Deadzone Ready!

I backed the Deadzone v1 Kickstarter back in June of 2013, and it's taken me this long to finally paint some Deadzone models! 

I should point out that these aren't the models that came with my Strike Pledge (those models are still mocking me from my pile of shame), but part of the new Forge Father Starter Set that I picked up after Deadzone v2 was released - I couldn't resist sci-fi stunties!

When Deadzone v2 was released, Mantic Games was awesome enough to send everyone that backed Deadzone v1 a PDF copy of the rules, so I printed out the rules and sleeved them in a display book. 

Now, all I needed to play Deadzone v2 was the Command Dice and Token Set, which I picked up yesterday!

I have the very high quality Deluxe Gaming Mat, and have the awesome Deadzone terrain that came with my Strike Pledge all assembled (meaning to use them for MERCS), so I'm all set for Deadzone terrain!

Anyways, I'll post up some individual model photos of my 100 point Forge Father Strike Team soon - stay tuned!

[KoW] Filthy Moon Tribe - Spitters

Here are my three Spitter regiments for Kings of War, which are the Goblin Archer models from the Battle of Skull Pass set.

I didn't add too much yellow, and chose to keep the arrows red so that it would be easier to distinguish these models from my Rabble regiments.

Well, that rounds off the infantry units I have planned for my army - next I'll be painting through some of the goblin character models I've got lying around, and working on some objective markers too!
