Holy Guacamole, (Served with Cornchips) I played heaps of games!

Game 2-

eHexeris the Sexeris
  • Mammoth
  • Gladiator
  • Krea
  • Shaman- bonded
  • Raider
min Beast Handlers
Max Nihilators
2 Mortitheurges

Kaelysa (awesome pistol lady)
  • Banshee
  • Banshee
  • Griffon
  • Griffon
Max Sentinels +UA
2 Arcanists
Mage Hunter Assassin whore-mouthed, bitch-slut Cankerous slagthorn (i hate them)
HORSEMAN
Artificer (my favorite Ret model, i really like the model, and it's rules are handy, if you don't like them, i don't like you)

 End or Round 1 - People ran! Tried to murder the turd-burglar assassin, i failed, which is usually something i can achieve pretty easily. Mammy counter blasted. Nothing else of note happened.

End of Round 2 - She Feated (Ret went first), i managed to forget every single time i went to do something... at any rate the mage hunter charged the krea or something and didn't do much, and eventually got smited by Hex. Horseyman mover up and laser beamed like infinity guys, and my guys could to diddly to hurt him, Shaman whiffed with his gun, ashes to ashes did nothing, fabulous... all in all nobody really achieved anything here.
End of Round 3 - This one stung my opponent. a Griffon ran up to where that wreck is next to Hex, the banshee slammed the poor griffon into hex knocking them both down, luckily Hex had a transfer. He killed the middle objective. Horseman, griffon and the nihilators fluffed around a bit more (to my opponents chagrin) he was trying to unload his army into my nihilators, but the good boys just wouldnt go down, thanks the ancestors for Ashen Vale! Hexeris brutally murdered the Griffon, Hexeris had to feat just to get some tranfers after helping to murder some of the sentinels. However it was all in vain, as the mammoth unloaded a full barage into Ms Kaelyssa and ended her short life abruptly.

Thoughts - I'm not even sure this is how it ended, but i know i won. Nihilators with Ashen Vale are good... goooooood, the sentinels just couldn't do anything.

Game 3 - Fat Spicy Taco

Rasheth
  • Bronzeback
  • Sentry
  • Gladiator
  • Canoneer (i hate her, but she was there)
  • Krea
Max Crocs + Taskmaster
Min Nihilators
Max Beasthandlers

Rayvyn
  • Daemon (he really wanted to try this guy, apparently the internet hates him, i was impressed)
  • Discordia
Max Invictors +UA
Artificer
Magister
Arcanist
2 Ghost Snipers (Really not worth their points)
eEyeris (don't know how to spell her name, thought i'd be funny)
End of Round 1 - TROLOL, canoneer blew eEiryss up in one shot on the first turn, my opponent was quite disheartened by this, as it 'happens every goddamned time!" i tend to aggree with him, i do seem to murderlate her everytime she looks at me strangely. otherwise every other guy just ran up, gators got tough, the sentry got carnivore (mat buff is required). He essentially did the same some spells went around.
End of Ret Turn 2 - Well, the main parts of my army did sweet fuck all... but my troops got their shit pushed in... really hard, like not even tough was stopping him. HOWEVER his horseyman (non character) moved up, and under feat (additional attack die on ranged) attempted to blast away like all my remaining nihilators+ a paingiver or two, but whiffed spectacularly, rolling a 4 on 3 dice, needing a 5, i pooped myself!
 Witness my brilliant photoshopping (paint) skillz! but also, troll horse, ruining my bro's time. Rayvyn kinded trololol'd around the forest chucked a veil of mists up and did nothing else.
End Skorne Turn 2 - Ol' Chomper got +2 Str and stabbed at character horse, horsey died, but Mister Skyreth or whatever just jumped off as if everything was cool. Bronzeback charged mister Herp-Derp, and herped much harder than the original, recieveing not the bronze medal fro herping, but the gold! (he failed to hit the horsey man with infinity attacks). Sentry charged up killed the objective, and two of his bros in the zone, then lockered. More Nihilators whiffed. Rasheth manages to get a BoC right up into the invictors essentially stalling their inevitable revenge.
End of Ret Game - My things all died with the help of missus Vortex, he got the zone for a domination...
Now for some reason i don't have a picture of the last play of the game, but it went something like this. A paingiver walks up, Just short of being a good arc node for rasheth to land a blood mark on Rayvyn, but he feats anyways for good measure. Glads slammed Daemon over to JUST hit Rayvyn, knocking them both down, doing a fair bit of damage to both targets, he then DOESN'T follow up, and messes up Discordia pretty bad. Then Ms Cannoneer walks up and blast a new hole in Rayvyn, i must eat my words, no one else could have ended it there, and one more turn and i was toast!

Thoughts - This always happens with Rasheth, down to the wire, and he wins with a gladiator slamming bitches. Honestly i don't think i make the best use of bloodmark with Rasheth but i abuse the hell out of BoC.











Holy Tortilla! I'm not a lazy bastard!

Whats up interwebs!

I haven't been neglecting you (well i have) i just have been at work and am adjusting to a new shift at worksies! But i have been playing games, many many games, a friend of mine has been hosting me the whole time which is lovely of him, however all the reports i have for you are vs Retribution. We have strived to use all our 'locks/'casters and even some silly ones (eMorghoul so name one). so without any more stalling, I give thee...

MAKA3DA VS pVYROS(?)

Makaeda and the Exalted Court
  • Bronzeback
  • Gladiator
  • Molik Karn
  • Krea
  • Aptimus Marketh
min Paingivers
Swamp Gobbers
Max Incindiarii
Willbrekaer
Agonizer

Vyros the Birdman
  • Hyperion
  • Banshee
  • Banshee
Halberdiers +UA
Mittens Crew (no idea what their name is)
Artificer
Ice Bitch

End of Round 1 - SS DG (same shit different game), peeps ran, Maka3da chucked up Vortex, dropped 3 on aggy. Krea animus'd and charged, gobbers moved and smoked. Veryone else ran! Same for him except Iron Resolve went onto the halberdiers.
End of Round 2 - So I'm doing this at the end of each Round, and my mate was doing it every turn, i might do it like him one day, the issue was my phone was playing the toons so i was loath to remove it every turn. Anywho, stuff did things, my incindiarii lit some stuff on fire (banshee) and killed a few of the halberdiers, and then in turn got half their numbers turned to paste. aggy ran up saying, Jacks don't need focus telling it to the lefthand banshee and Hyperion. His banshee took the objective, while the rest of my list just set up for next turn. Maka3da is toeing the zone, krea aura and swamp gobber smoke is up, Can't remember why i thought Molik should stand there, but there was probs a good reason.
End of Skorne Turn 3 -  The gravy turn, gravy was consumed (corn flavoured). Molik Karn murdurlated the banshee from behind, more dudes got burned, and i lit Hyperion up. Maka3da charged the Hyperion with one of her buds with fate walker up. Now my opponent was very kind for me to use a little time warp and activate marketh before glads, he eliminatored a halberdier, allowing her to move out of glad's way. Krea moved up and aura'd, titan glad charged but was short of killing the Hyperion, bronzey ran up... not sure why. Gobbers covered Makaeda, or rather where she'd like to be. and then Maka3da fate walkered back to safety.
End of Ret Turn 3 - His stuff did what his stuff needed to do, but not as effectively as it could/should have. Hyperion got beefed by his entire army and killed my Bronzeback ( saddface ) but failed to kill my Glads ( happyface ), and whats better is Banshee 2 was unable to reach mr glads from behind Hyperion! Some guys failed to kill Molik, and the Halberdiers tried to screen Vyros from our Cyclops Chieftan.
End of THE GAME! - Mr Glads when Akimbo and ruined Mr Hyperion's day, Ms Krea moved up to try and negate Vyros' wall bonus, in hindsight i really should have shot the birdman. Marketh upkept Maka3da's Vortex and she went full Samuraii and decapitated the man and the bird, winning me the game. Unfortunately i recieved no Control points, but killing the birdman was fun.

Thoughts - I really need to L2P better, my orders of activations is just stupid, i need to work it out. ESPECIALLY when the Mortitheurges and Marketh are concerned. They really need to act before anything else, they are just such insignificant pieces on the board i can miss them too easily. But as it was only a friendly my opponent was very kind (a theme that will repeat itself i'm sure)!

The number which is next to the model type is the ranking of that model against the other in its' category. This only takes into account the models which i own, eg Reptile hounds do not get a ranking, until i buy them. Please note, this is not a ranking of competitiveness but merely a popularity contest.

Skorne on the Cob - Better when Popped and Lathered in Butter




Well hello there!

I've been a rabid Skorne player from Privateer Press' HORDES tabletop Miniature's game since the dawn of an empire (the release of Primal). A friend of mine has a controversial Retribution blog which attempts to remove some of the doom and gloom associated with the pointy eared recluses, and his blog has inspired me to post some of my musings about the Skorne Empire and some of the games i play.

By no means do i consider myself to be a great player or painter of the minis, but neither do i consider myself to be bad at either diciplines. However, as i subjugate my lessers or get my skorney hiney whipped, i will be posting reports and thoughts upon new and old models, the fluff from the books and battle reports i have with people from both Australia (Melbourne/Geelong) and New Zealand (Auckland, where i am based for the most part).

So come with me as i whip and torture my way across these great Southern lands, i look forward to seeing what other poeple have to say about the Desert Reds. On the PP forums my user name is Goat, im most active within the skorne subforum, but also can be spotted sometimes in the IK subforum.

But most importantly, Play Like you've got a Pair!
