He jammed up the Mountain King on the left and got him down to 15 boxes. The Vulcan power attacked the Earth Born Dire Troll and Threw him into the portal, causing instant death. On the right, the Glacier King is just gone! It took a couple of shots from the Railless Interceptors and he was finished off by the failed experiments. I also lost Madrak0 who was controlling 2 war beasts. It was late in the evening and we decided to reconvene the following night for the second half of turn 2.</div><div><br /></div><div>I spent the rest of the day trying to figure out how to kill his two casters. Neither of them had popped their feat and Bennet1 has a DEF of 17. My Trolls are not known for their accuracy and if you miss her once, she gets to reposition 2" away ignoring free strikes. After a lot of thought, I decided I would not be able to kill either of his casters on turn 2. Instead, I focused on taking out targets I could get to, opening a lane for the Mountain King, and popping Kolgrima's feat.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Pig Lookouts worked really well. They Ambushed in from the table edge, moved 6", Marked the Dragon's Breath Rockets and shot them in the back arc. They hit on 3+ and killed on 4+. I did that on both sides of the board. I also Ambushed in the Polar Bears and Bumbles. They did a little damage but it was more about clearing out what they could. They really need to hit from the back and get the Gang bonus to ensure they hit. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Long Riders were able to get out of the way and the Mountain King snacked on the whelps to regain 16 pts of health. He was then able to maneuver up to the Vulcan and unload.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kolgrima moved as deep as she could and popped her feat, sending out a pulse that takes away flight, eyeless sight, and pathfinder. It also prevents enemies caught in it from shooting for 1 round. Finally, she pushes enemies 2" away from her. I wasn't able to push anyone into the portal (instant death) and Push does not create free strikes but it was nice to control the board a little bit. J's army is very shooty and he placed "Neutered" yellow markers on his shooters that wouldn't be able to range attack next turn. Kolgrima cast Vanish, moved B2B with the two war beats that had gone wild and claimed them for her battle group. She also drew back some fury from the stone in case J made an assassination run.

It's probably a good thing. When games stop being fun, it's time to stop playing. All in all, it was a win due to attrition. Trolls are Tough, have healing options, and Kolgrima's feat was really a sucker punch to the gut. </div><div><br /></div><div>It was really cool playing such a large game. I planned out my first turn of activation a day in advance to get the best use of all the abilities. I didn't know what the map would look like but the portal and the cultists were set by the scenario. I also really benefited from the day to think about my Turn 2. Normally I would have jumped at his casters but after running the numbers, I just couldn't make it happen. I did not feel good starting my second turn but it was nice at the end to see how the board had shifted.</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't think I want to play another game this big anytime soon. It was a lot of thought and energy. It was also tough staying engaged when the other player's turn takes an hour+ and you are just getting hammered on. It turns out I like small games, although I do like playing with the big gargantuans too!</div><br /><br /></div>Shelexiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15288618329319913505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715300297218240126.post-75060260033661348102022-01-19T16:45:00.000-06:002022-01-19T16:45:15.125-06:00Painted Faces on Parade<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Again<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
My Dad had his second heart attack in March of 2012. I do not want to develop diabetes, have a heart attack, or be fat. I am tired of having low back problems, primarily caused by being overweight. My highest weight was 248 lbs in 2010. After ups and downs, I am starting this phase of my journey at 240 lbs on June 1 of 2018. I began a Cross-fit class on July 30, 2018 and I began prepping my meals for the week. I have always admired the people that serve in the military so I included some of the Army and Marine fitness test standards in my goals. These are my goals: </div>

The dungeon is very similar to hers and I will try to be more original the next time around. The idea is you get to explore the dungeon as you gain credit for doing your daily habits. When I land next to a treasure chest, I get to roll a 12 sided die. #bujo #wannabpainter #rpg</a></div>

I have posted pictures here on my blog since 2009. Now, as I look back, many of those pictures are being held hostage by photobucket for a $400 per year ransom for 3rd party hosting. Many people are effected by this and I hate it. Many of our hobby bulletin boards and how-to posts are riddled with photobuckets ransom notes. I am in the process of moving all of my photos, new and old, off of photobucket and I would encourage you to do the same. It is a bunch of work to change where our photos are loaded but I would rather maintain my site than pay PB. If you have this ransom note on your site, I hope you are able to save your website.Shelexiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15288618329319913505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715300297218240126.post-6330531055178240932017-09-11T09:00:00.000-05:002017-09-11T09:00:07.745-05:00200 Point Runewars Wishlist<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a 200 point example of what can be built with the core Runewars set and several add ons. I used the <a href="https://www.tabletopminiatures.com/Runewars/rwLanding" target="_blank">Tabletop Miniatures</a> site to build this list.<br />

Check it out <a href="https://www.tabletopminiatures.com/Runewars/rwLanding" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />

Here is a quick example of an army you can build with the starter box. I find the best thing in the builder is clear pictures of the cards and dials.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my new favorite game! <a href="https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/runewars-miniatures-game/" target="_blank">Runewars Miniature Game</a> from <a href="https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/index/" target="_blank">Fantasy Flight Games</a> is exactly what I would expect in a beginner miniature game. The miniatures are easy to fit together and have one position they lock into. The plastic posts are a good fit and barely require glue. I used Tester's Cement for Plastic. My wife and I had the whole stater box assembled in 1.5 hours and were playing in 3 hours. The rules were a little deep to wade through at first but after the first game, we had a decent understanding of how things worked. The "Learn to Play" book was very helpful and I liked the "Rules Reference" for later. The box I put together was for the local game store and I am anxiously waiting for our copy to come in. It is worth the money at $99 for 2 starter factions and all the movement tools. Currently, you can find it on Amazon for around $70 which makes it a great value.</div>

For the money, you get about 100 points of humans and another 100 of skeletons. These are easily expanded to the 200 point regular game level.<br />
<br />
I will be posting pics soon (as soon as we get our own box) of assembly and painting. My plan is to airbrush as much as possible and use the Army Painter dip for quick shading. I want decent looking minis that get to the table quickly. We will see how it goes.<br />
<br />
If you click on the link below and purchase the game, I get a small percentage. However, I am not sponsored by this or any other game.<br />

The trolls went together like a dream. Then snapped together with little fussing. The only things I pinned were the arrows on the back of the spear chucker and the spiky ball on the end of the basher's chain.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here they are. The warbeasts are pinned, the war caster in the front left is pinned, all the fiddly bits are glued. I left off the distinctive back flags as there was not a good way to attach them and have them stay attached durning rough handling. If they were mine, I would have fashioned something with green stuff but these guys are staying unpainted.</td></tr>

Overall, I think this is a lousy beginner box. If this was a first time modeler trying to put stuff together, I would have thrown the box against the wall. Maybe if they just printed on the outside of the box, "Hey! Yeah you! Have you tried other miniature games? Do you have a moderate level of skill and patience? Come try our game!" I love the Warmachine/Hordes universe, game system and mechanics. However, they have a lot to learn about boxes meant to draw people into the game.<br />

Grill Drink Game is our annual get together to see friends that have moved away, play board games and a RPG, and have a great time. We get together around noon and play until we drop. This year, my brother had given me a 3d printer for Christmas. So I started printing swag! The RPG was pirate themed this year. So, each person received a "gold coin" with the Aztec design from Pirates of the Caribbean on one side and GDG 17 on the other.<br />

I wish we had more pictures of the games we played but we were having too much fun. We got in several games of 7 Wonders, Pandemic, and others. We also played a pirate themed Pathfinder game. At the end, when they found the pirate treasure, I passed out the coins which they had not seen yet. It was a pretty cool reaction. The coins were cursed of course, to "return the holder to the same group of people a year and a day from that day." I can't wait!Shelexiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15288618329319913505noreply@blogger.com0
