Life of a Trollblood

I decided to attack the area with the Jackron pillars. That is also the reason I decided to make them a few weeks ago. Me and my brother decided to shorten the time spent talking about our lists we would share them with each other once we had both decided on who/what our list would be. So after I let him know where we would be fighting we went to work building our lists. Here is what we decided. Band of Heroes                               Primal Terrors Madrak Ironhide                             Thragosh Prophet of Everblight Dire Troll Mauler                             Ammok the Truthbearer Troll Axer...

The Jackron Pillars. So I plan on attacking the Jackron Pillars area and with that in mind I needed to prepare a few Pillars for the fun that we have planned out in the event on the table. So here is a little bit of terrain fun. First the idea of these pillars is that they will be shooting lightning between them. As far as the history behind the area we did not really come up with a backstory but my thought is that the area has huge build ups of energy that has been stored and collected over hundreds of years as a result of a science experiment gone wrong. The result is fields and fields of these pillars that are sitting there discharging and collecting this electric energy. First I decided that I would make them out of a wooden dowel I needed six so I cut them up and I had these little jewelry beads that I figured I could turn into electrical nodes or something... Once I had them all cut up and glued I thought that they looked pretty good. I normally just use a Supe...

He decided to attack the Kryss Timberlands. We decided on our armies and then voted on what Event in the area we wanted to play on. We both picked the Dense Forest as our preferred event so rather than roll off we just elected to play that event. Here are the rules that we created for the campaign.   -Dense forest                 The entire map is forest. The forest is so thick Large based warrior models are not allowed. Large based warbeasts gain the following penalties -1 Def   -2 Threshold and are agitated every activation (gain 1 Fury). While a model has the Hunter ability they can ignore forests when determining LOS. Since the entire map is forest terrain (well we could put out a patch of open terrain) I looked through my models and tried to come up with some sort of plan to overcome that because lots of my models don't come with pathfinder and none have wings. The other b...

The game to start the game! Well tonight we were able to get our first game in! We decided to start off with a small scout encounter and there are 2 types of scout groups that we can run one is a Warlock with just beast points totaling a 0 point army or an army without a Warlock that we would decide on the point size. The good part is it makes the game small and quick the bad part is it messes up the balancing act that the designers intended. I personally feel like my army needs units to do well and Legion does great with Beast/Lock setups.   The Power of Dhunia                                                        Children of the Dragon Ragnor         ...

Picking only 6 Warlocks for my list building was difficult. My final decision will largely be affected by the unpainted models that I have. I find that I paint better if I am excited about a model and one good way to help me get excited about a model is to use it on the table and in building lists. Even tho we only get to pick six, we are able to use all the different incarnations of the Warlock with one exception, once a later version of the warlock is used the previous versions cannot be selected. We have created a map of 10 total locations with different characteristics on each of them so the map changes and has an effect on each game. ****Exalted Valley**** All about magic zones and anti magic zones ****Alst Bay**** Swampland stuff, I better pack the rain boots. ****Alohr Tundra**** Frozen Wasteland, Blizzards/freezing models. ****Jakron Pillars**** -Lightning Rods              ...
