The herd player commented several times during the games that the chariots were pretty weak. It's possible he was just squeezing in last bit of points with available models (former whfb just getting into KoW). This was first time I've seen chariots. I am really liking the zombie trolls. They...

@Seneschal Thanks for the compliments. This army has been a labor of love since 2010. Thoughts on Soul Reaver Cavalry & List Building: I typically include the soul reaver cavalry regiment w/caterpillar in my tournament army (see previous BRs) but this time I decided to leave it behind. The...

1 Day 3 game Kings of War with Clash of Kings 2016 comp/rules. Scenarios: Invade, Pillage, Dominate (individuals and war engines count half pts where applicable) The final results: 1. League of Rhordia 2. Undead 3. Undead (me) 4. Ratkin 5. Ratkin 6. The Herd 7. Salamanders 8. Elves 9. Abyssals...

KoW is what I've been focusing on in terms of building and painting new models but the introduction of points in AoS is at least going to get me into a few games with flesh eater courts with models I've already painted and haven't seen much use in KoW (terrorghiests). A skirmish game doesn't...

How did you do in terms of scenario scoring? In other words, did you get the units you expected to across the table half and survive? I've had success with surge usually when I don't need more than 3 inches or so to pull off a flank charge, usually by doing a side move first or a short move and...

Looking forward to seeing how it goes. My only thought would be maybe try to squeeze in another source of inspiring.

Appreciate the paint comments. I try to steal as much as I can from the good painters in my club. @der vued thanks for the feedback. As I write these I always wonder if it is easy to follow and at least mildly entertaining to read. I know I'd prefer to have minimal text and more pics...

I think the future is bright for undead models from GW, as the smaller factions (like fyreslayers) potentially could result in more diverse aesthetics than what was possible with the army book approach. My guess is that the "new" stuff will look similar to morghasts and include a construct or...

Last 1 day primer before @unpluggedGT Relative to the previous list I dropped a wraith troop and a necro to add revenant and mummy regiments in order to have a chance at more objectives as well as keep things off the flank of the revenant horde. Game 1 is against Elves. Silverbreeze cav troop...

I'm a fan of the mats after seeing them in person. While they aren't as nice looking as a textured and flocked board, they are an adequate substitute as the dice make no noise, units slide easily, and they aren't as washed out as they appear in the photos. My favorite is the swamp, and the snow...

Thanks! The blood knight$ were the one unit that was pre-painted and ebayed but arrived busted, so I am painfully aware that they are GW metals as each one needed several pins. It makes for a heavy unit, fortunately most of the tables had those frontline games mousepad-like mats, and the unit...

After 3 successful Warhammer GTs in Hartford, Connecticut, the UPGT has made the switch to Kings of War! April 15-17. The club has focused on organization, high quality terrain, painting, and sportsmanship to create an all around awesome tournament experience. If you can get out to the American...

Surge focused. Comments please. skeleton warrior regiment skeleton warrior troop soul reaver infantry troop revenant regiment mummy regiment zombie regiment zombie troll horde werewolves regiment + blade of slashing undead army standard +healing charm cursed pharaoh +wings of honeymaze...

If you ally with Empire of Dust you can field the throne or mortis engine 50x100mm models as a reanimated behemoth. Corpsecarts as revenant chariots regiment (need 3) or a one of the character chariots Some amount of Morghasts could be multibased on a wights horde single tray. I have 4 unbuilt...
