Manda’s (Amachan) Wrath of Metztli

I have been struggling with massive disabilities causing me to not be able to paint or build miniatures. The major disabilities limiting my hobby are tremors in my right hand making it very unstable and lots of pain in my left which I was learning to paint with. I am getting physiotherapy to try and help me cope with the disabilities, but I am not sure it is going to solve anything. I do not know if I will be able to return to miniature painting and such and for now I am starting a new project involving LEGO, something I can do with my disabilities.

I got another one of the larger models for the Wrath of Metztli together, the crew and bolt thrower is still loose as I will paint those separately. But this will be my Stegadon for OnePageRules’ Age of Fantasy and SAGA: Age of Magic.

This is Tlaloc, my Chameleon Skink Chief for the Wrath of Metztli, my lizardmen army for SAGA: Age of Magic and OnePageRules’ Age of Fantasy. In SAGA they will be the lieutenant/ranger with bow in my Lords of the Wilds army.

These are my Chameleon Skinks for the Wrath of Metztli, my lizardmen army for SAGA: Age of Magic and OnePageRules’ Age of Fantasy. In SAGA 4 of them will be counted as hearthguard with bows.

This is my new plan to move forward with the Wrath of Metztli. My motivation to work on it has slightly dropped through the floor, ended up in hell and went through the floor there as well…..

As may not come as a surprise to anyone, SAGA and its ages is one of my favourite game system. Age of Magic is thus going to be the first focus for this project from now on. However I am currently limited to the models that I have printed since my printer is broken again. So phase 1 will be a fun Lords of the Wild list (8 points for Age of Magic) for SAGA: Age of Magic, but if I have models to work on in that list I will start working on phase 2 or 3 as well, but my priority will be with phase 1 first. Phase 2 to 4 will be for OnePageRules’ Age of Fantasy, however some will also be valid for SAGA: Age of Magic. I will use old Warhammer fantasy names for most of my units, but will also explain what they are used as in both SAGA and Age of Fantasy.

This is my unit of 10 Skinks with Javelins for the Wrath of Metztli, my lizardmen army which is now for OnePageRules’ Age of Fantasy and SAGA: Age of Magic.

In short, there will not be much changes to this project. As far as I know I can use most of the armylist with OnePageRules’ Age of Fantasy game system and I will convert it to that. So in the near future there will be a list of changes to the phases that I was planning on doing and some other minor changes to the army, but I will still be working on it and there will still be a horde of lizards on the table at the end of it.

The lore that I wrote however will change. I will most likely change this to fit in the old Warhammer Fantasy universe as the lore for that is 10 times better than Age of Sigmars anyway. But that is something that will come once I find the inspiration to do so.

I looked at the changes coming to the Seraphon in the new Battletome as some people already have their hands on it. And in short, I am wanting to blow up GW again…..
Anyway, some models were removed making some units invalid, other rules were changed that I don’t particularly like for my army either. And with better games available like OPR Age of Fantasy or SAGA Age of Magic which is created by people who actually want to make good games rather than just make money, my choice will be easily made and I am not playing Age of Sigmar anymore. I will rebuild my plans for the Wrath of Metztli to fit those rule systems and those rule systems.
Also, for my Warhammer 40k projects, I am not getting into 10th edition anymore since GW can only mess up rules anyway, and that has been proven to me again…. The 10th edition rules reveals over the last weeks makes that obvious as well as I was never happy with the changes when 8th edition came out and 10th is not looking any better. For those who want to play 40k with me OPR Grimdark Future will be the only option. And for my Dark Angels project, I just don’t know yet. I still really like the 40k universe, I just loathe GW.

This is Citlalli, the Skink Oracle on Troglodon for the Wrath of Metztli, my lizardmen army.
