Andrewgeddon Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Who's planning on being at Dice Age on Saturday? Will be looking for a game of 9th Age... or Malifaux, if we have an odd number of people for 9th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ill be there. I'm still itching to do the 2v2 @splinx had suggested! Considering fielding an all skink SA list for the giggles (and to the disappointment of whoever gets stuck with me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I have just checked and I can bring out the dread elves for a 2v2 game if you guys can find enough? And Benno it would be my pleasure to partner with the skinks! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Im down! Now lets see if anyone is brave enough to challenge the frail DE, and even frailer Skink hordes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Donnie and I will be there, but I think we're doing a 1v1 game. 2v2 sounds like fun, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around new rules and a new army. Will definitely be down for some 2v2 after I've gotten some more practice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Bummer! I apparently now have to go to the International Cat Show in Portland tomorrow afternoon so the Dread Elves will be held back for yet another week. Apologies dudes! Hope you can still have a good couple games going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Anyone playing tomorrow? @splinx I still need spill DE blood with the skink hordes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I would love too but I’m doing the painting workshop at dice age from 12-2pm tomorrow so will be tied up with that unfortunately. It’s possible that next Saturday would work for some dark elf magic and me blowing myself up. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 So you are the infamous "Sam" that is "Painting with Sam". I had a hunch... Or I should have known that already... I might bring something for you to take a gander at and let me know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Anyone down for a game tomorrow? Noonish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Posting early, I'll be looking for a game on Saturday! Probably with Evil Dwarves (hopefully proxy free!), possibly with Ogres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I will be there, I think Dave is showing up again too (he wanted a match against anything but lizardmen). Ill be bringing my dorfs as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted April 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Anyone planning on heading to DA this weekend? I have a new comer to the T9A scene. We played his first game last weekend, and it piqued his interest. He wanted to come by some time when we had a couple concurrent games going on to see what the other armies looked like, and how the other books played. For someone brand new to tabletop, he made a lot of pretty smart choices and asked a lot of very advanced questions, perhaps he is the Kwisatz Haderach of T9A?

After everything that's gone on this last weekend and this week, I'm sure I'll take this weekend for some recovery time. I'm always keen to meet new players though; I'll do my best to be there next weekend (the 14th?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valourunbound Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'm most likely out for this weekend. I'll post if something changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Sounds like there's going to be a group of us at Dice Age tomorrow at noon, for anyone else that might want to make it down :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Anyone in the Portland area up for a game this Friday? I managed to scrounge up enough Empire for 4500 points and want to give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orson, I'm not available unfortunately, but like Beninator mentioned, we do have a Google Groups for 9th Age if you want to post on there as well to find a game. If you drop me an email ( andrewgeddon@gmail.com ), I'll get you added to it. There is also a Facebook group, 9th Age - Northwest, that I moderate. It's not super active with people looking for games, but just some other places to post if you're looking for a game. I know we have several 9th Age players that aren't very active here on Ordo.

TheBeninator Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thank you again @valourunbound for the great game last weekend. It was down to the wire, certainly! And in true skaven fashion, your utter disreguard for your soldier's lives (hand of god or whatever) helped me clench the victory 😄 Here is the highlight recap! End of SA Turn 1: Cornered like a rat! Feeling good about this. My Taurasaur has the engine of the ancients providing a 5+ aegis bubble against shooting. Both the Templeguard and the Carnosaur are also Hard Target! Cuatl is built to shut his caster down. Also, 3 salamanders. So ya, this is gonna get messy Turn 2 SA: As the Taurasuar next to the general is blown into 1000 pieces on VS Turn 1, the general (a mage apprentice), and his trusty steed (also a mage apprentice) commit to the charge! But fail.... T3 SA: The general "tactically retreats" behind the hill after suffering 5 of his 6 wounds. He and his trusty carnosaur turn to the camera and pronounce "Run! They have cannons!!!", his steed agrees. This was the last we heard from him for not too long after some sneaky rats brought down the great general with a little poisoned sling rock. I mean common... a poisoned rock? Puh! Meanwhile the rest of the SA have marched up, but not engaged, taking heavy losses from all sorts of vermin firepower. Only the Cuatl is able to make progress with some clutch spell casting. Also, a comet in the sky begins to descend into the Saurian ranks, uh oh... SA or VS T4 or so... The comet hits! Just prior, some sneaky band of rats had made their way into my deployment zone (the scoring objective). Luckily, my opponent rolled like a champ, and obliterated that unit of rats for me, there is the lone survivor running away. I lost 4 skinks for his troubles :D. End of Game: After making a mad dash into the rat nest I was able to clench the secondary objective. In the top right, you can see a movement tray, that was the 8 Saurus warriors left of the 22 lizard unit (which only ever fought 1 battle against 10 rats) walking away from the arc of the Stormvermin. The Ramphadons plowed through both artillery with devastating power (both artillery had prey scent), yielding like 12 wounds on each! The only other real combat in the game occurred on the very last turn, and it was a near wipe out of the SA! Fortunately, rules, order of operations, and slightly different initiative steps allowed my Cuatl to take the place of his fallen guard, and thus forces his blender of a BSB to attack the Cuatl (who is a big meaty frog with an aegis) instead of the crumbly Temple guard unit. I dont know how much I lost by (probably like 10-15), but I was stubborn due to the Temple guard!!! This saved probably 30-40% of my points, and provided me a second unit in the deployment zone (though I only needed 1). In the end, the vermin swarm blasted apart the majority of my army, though I was fortunate to not lose the Cuatl. The Raphadons scored a bunch of points through the 2 artillery kills bringing the final points difference to somewhere around 850 in favor of the VS. Though, thanks to the secondary objective, this became a minor SA victory at 11-9. If there had been a turn 7, it would have been a VERY ugly game for the SA. In the end the Taurasaur absorbed bullets The General with Carnosaur absorbed bullets The Saurus warriors absorbed bullets (and killed 10 rats, ez life) The skinks + Camian absorbed bullets The templeguard absorbed bullets, and remained stubborn 2 of 3 Salamanders absorbed bullets 1 salamander misfired, somehow lived to see another turn, got to shoot at the VS! Then absorbed bullets.... The ramphadons were bosses, and smashed rat face The cuatl carried the team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valourunbound Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 You'd be surprised how many games I have lost because my character is not in the right spot in the unit. Your summary makes it sound like I brought a gunline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Anyone brave enough to take on the Skink throng tomorrow, high-noon? This will be my proposed OFCC list (as a pillow fight list), so I need to make sure the pillow does not have too many hammers in it :D.

Andrewgeddon Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Looking for some OFCC practice on Saturday! Noon-ish at Dice Age? I have to run the dog to the vet that morning, so hopefully should be there by noon, might be a little closer to 1 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valourunbound Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Problem: There is a bridal shower at my house on Saturday. Solution: play T9A. This will be my last free weekend before OFCC so I'd like to get AT LEAST 1 game in. Who is down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 This weekend is shot for me. This is the big pack and move weekend, because I simply cannot procrastinate any longer (due to laws and stuff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
