Reply To: Hobby Weekender 01/03 – Back to the 80s

[biggabum 4565xp 2]

Not had a lot of hobby time for the past few weeks for various reasons (went blind in my left eye: sight back now but a bit worrying for a couple of weeks, followed by a 24 hour sickness bug that had no sense of time).

Anyhoo After being out of sorts for a while my pledge this week is very loose due to it being the granddaughters 6th Birthday but hoping to sneak a game of Warmachine in dependant on when the little Miss turns up: Matty wants to try out his new toys.

We’ve opted for a 125pt as side (he wants to try out ALL his new toys) 2 caster slugfest Cryx vs Cygnar. Armies have been selected and board set up so its just getting the game in.

Matty has Taken Gaspy and Denny aas his casters and his Army looks something like this:

Asphyxious 1

Cankerworm

Kraken

Nightwretch

Skarlok thrall

Deneghra 1

Nightwretch

Defiler

Slayer

Reaper

 

10x Bane Warriors

10x Bile thralls

10x Blackbanes Ghosts

10x Mechanithralls

Necrosurgeon and stitch Thralls

Tartarus

Rengrave

Hellslinger Phantom

Pistol Wraith

 

For Cygnar i’ve gone with Caine, and after some soul searching, chose Striker (so tempted to take Hayley but thought Strikers knock down ability with Earthquake might be essential to keep Matty’s troops at bay while I deal with the Kraken).

So my Army looks like this:

Stryker 1

Ironclad

Stormclad

Lancer

Squire

Caine 1

Defender

Hunter

Charger

Rienhold

 

Stormsmith Stormcaller x3

6x Gunmages  + gun mage officer

Black 13th

10 x Long Gunners

Stormblades

10 x Trencher commando’s

10 x Trencher Infantry + 3x Grenadiers + officer and Sniper
