Malifaux 3rd Edition

The time has come! Malifaux 3rd edition has fallen upon us and I may have fallen off the deep end...

This game has for a very long time been my favorite tabletop wargame to play. It mixes themes I love with a dynamic world and captivating story. Mix in gorgeous models and a skirmish game unique in this current market of games and you get a game that is highly approachable by players of all skill levels.

Now there have been a lot of game reviews my favorite so far being from Third Floor Wars, but I will be giving an overview of my own game experiences playing certain masters and crews and playing against others. Since I primarily play the Outcast faction, most of my write-ups will be focused there but I will be including general strategies as well as my impressions of my opponent's factions and crews.

I will also being trying to document my games and giving my general thoughts on strategy. Hope you enjoy the things to come!

Christmas Time & New Toys

Merry Christmas time everyone!

So the season of giving is upon us as I shudder... I usually earn the Grinch awards every year. This year I am enjoy the holidays with me wife and two kids so it isn't so bad. My games however are proving difficult to make time for with all the busy things to do. But My goal to get more consistent and regular is still here!

So the topic of today's blog is a game I am getting back into.. a 3rd time.. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar! I originally played the game back in the rank-and-file days of Fantasy as Skaven and Tomb Kings, selling my Tomb Kings after they discontinued the line. I played Sylvaneth for a small time but barely player then got rid of them. I bought the book for the Idoneth Deepkin upon release but never bought and model... until now.. I have officially expanded into the game with two of the battleforce boxes, an Akhelian Leviadon, a Soulrender, and this guy (WIP):

My Akhelian King! Currently a WIP but I will cover my painting with him in another article. Here I wanted to delve into my current list with the army.

Alliance: Order
Allegiance: Idoneth Deepkin
Realm: Aqshi (Fire)
Enclave: Feuthan

Akhelian King with spear (Armor of Cythai artifact)
Tidecaster (gerneral) with Tideof Fear spell (Kraken Tooth artifact)
Tidecaster with Arcane Corrasion spell
Ishraran Soulrender

2x Akhellian Allopex with Harpoons
2x 10-man units of Namarti Reavers
1x 10-man unit of Namarti Thralls
2x 3-man units of Ishlaen Guard with full command
1x Akhelian Leviadon
Akhelian Corps Battalion 

Alsright so this is a bit of a combined force. The tactic is ideally go second, then having switched the Tides of Battle, run forward firing with our ranged units and charging with with out mele turn one. This is possible since Fuethan changes the Ebb Tide to Flow Tide. I am thinking about trying out the Tidecaller instead of the additional Tidecaster, but I dont own one yet. I only have a single 2000 point game under my belt so far but continuing to test it out! The list decimated the dwarves I faced, but neither of us are seasoned players so that may have been a reason. 

Here soon I will be posting about the Akhelian King, likely after he is finished. Before that will be a post showing of my proud work on the Guild Ball Hunter's team. 

Stay tuned for more!

Current State and Going Steady

Alright, so I have been inconsistent with posting due to life always throwing kinks, however I have hit a point where I am gonna start ramping up what I do even if I do it slowly. First of all, I have been playing a lot of Guildball lately so expect lots of content from there, I will be recording games soon and posting those, I have several kickstarters that have come in and I will be doing some reviews of those, and I have a big one on its way. A lot of content to write about so I am excited to get started! 

First of all I wanted to cover the upcoming topics in detail as I have so many I want to do:

1. Hobby: I have recently been painting a ton including some commission pieces. I want to cover the models individually and will be documenting future projects much better.
2. Kickstarter and game reviews: I have a ton of games I have either been trying or buying and there is a lot of things to talk about! This is more of a fun topic than anything as board games are my casual side.
3. Game reports: So I have been trying to play as much as possible of whatever I can but it can be limiting. I dont like to play with unpainted stuff so this will be in combo with the hobby projects. I want to eventually do video reports but I am a novice there at making higher quality stuff so we will see what happens. The games I will be reporting on as I play them are as follows:
• Guildball
• Malifaux
• Warhammer 40k
• Warhammer Killteams
• Warhammer Underworlds
• FFG's Legend of the Five Rings
• RPGs (if I can run/participate in one)
4. Guides and other articles related to strategy and gameplay: This one is where my time will really be spent digging deep into my thoughts and experiences in a games particular strategies and details. 

This is the upcoming road map and I am excited to get started!
