  1. Going to give it another try this week if possible. 1500pts of orcs vs Gordi's KoM. See if more points can even things out for the greenies.
  2. For the most part they did. We forgot a few things, but nothing too major. The disrupted rule is pretty key in the game now. For instance, most cav units now have a rule called Thunderous Charge. It stacks with crushing strength (makes it easier to wound). However, while CS always works, TC does not work if you are disrupted (ie, were charged in melee by an enemy unit). Therefore, if you can get a charge against a cav unit first, then their counter-charge in their turn will be much weaker due to the loss of TC. I'm not quite convinced that the Orc list is well rounded enough. Will be happy to do more testing.
  3. Gordi and I were able to throw down two 1000pt games last night. He brought his Kingdom of Men (empire) army and I threw some Orcs (beastmen) and then Undead at his list. The game was called Domination, where you only got points for units at the center of the board at End Game. Kind of interesting. He tabled the orcs, but took heavy losses as well. Honestly, I feel like he just had too many units compared to me. The orcs in KoW have almost no shooting, and no magic. They are however, fairly tough. But the KoM have plenty of tools and his units were able to survive the initial hits and then counter attack to good effect. Game two had me try out the undead. The game ended in tie, but I feel like the undead should have won that one. He got some great Nerve tests against the undead which saw units go too soon on average, and then an insane courage saved one of his units which resulted in the doom of an undead unit. Whole game flipped on one roll. What really impressed me was how fast the games went. 90 minutes basically for both games. And at 1000pts, KoM fielded 9 units. 4 blocks of 20, a 5 man scout, a 10 man knight units, a cannon, and two characters. My orcs had 2 units of 20, a giant, a 6 troll unit, 5 cav, and a hero. The undead were much closer in units with 3 blocks of 20, a horde 40 unit, 5 cav, 3 mon.inf., a catapult, and two heroes.
  4. Did I sell or trade a large GW hard case to someone a year or two ago? It would have looked like this: I cannot find it for the life of me, but I don't remember selling or trading it. So if I did, please let me know so I can stop tearing my house apart. :)
  5. I have a starter plus extras, pretty much every ship before the scum and villainy came out. Most are NIB. All Sold, thank you Ordo.
  6. So I'm planning on bringing a couple of 1000pt armys for Kings of War on Sunday. I've made up Undead, Orcs (beastmen), and Elves. Using the latest Beta rules - http://manticblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/KOW-2nd-Ed-WIP6.pdf Come on by if you want to learn to play.
  7. Going to take Chaos off the chopping block for the time being. I realized I have other games that I can get rid of first before getting rid of a 40K army.
  8. Here's my WM inventory: PB rule book template set Cryx: HB faction book lich lord asph warwitch denny deathripper x2 defiler x4 canker worm corrupter leviathan + 1 NIB plastic leviathan kit (makes three) reaper slayer deathjack bane knights x6 bile thralls x6 mechanithralls x10 brute thrall necro tech + scrap thrall pistol wraith x3 skarlock thrall warwitch siren x2 banelord tartarus tokens mark II cards Most models are metal, some are plastic. Menoth: PB faction book kreoss high reclaimer Crusader vanquisher repenter exemplar cenerators x5 Judicator cards for above only No pic for the menoth as it is all NIB or in bags.
  9. I've got a decent sized Cryx army that I'd like to sell, as well as a much smaller Menoth force. I'll post up specifics soon. I realized that of all the games I do play, Warmachine is one that I can take it or leave it. So if I have to sell stuff, might as well start with games I rarely play or have little interest in. I do love the models...but the game is just okay. Again, let me know if you are interested in either of these and I will go through the trouble of getting a detailed list and pics.
  10. Was wondering if Super Dungeon Explore, or Relic Knights was worth getting into. Anyone play them and could give a review?
  11. I tried to collect a fairly "on the cheap" chaos marine army a while back. I had been inspired by the Crimson Slaughter codex and was building a force around that, heavy on the deamon engines and hell brutes. I still like the thought of the army, but it is one of the armies that doesn't play nice with the rest of the 40K forces I have. So if interest is there for it, it can go on the chopping block. So in addition to the box set models (which are fairly outstanding in my opinion), I have some extra hellbrutes, two deamon engines (one built with the tentacles), a helldrake, extra chaos marines, a LR, terminators I think...and maybe some possessed. Same as before, if you are truly interested in getting a chaos marine army, reply or send a PM and I'll put together an exact list.
  12. Well Ando has done a great job in killing off my desire to sell this fleet...back to the closet to see what else I can get rid of.
  13. I've been playing since Alpha. It is fun. Can be frustrating unless playing with friends though. Sometimes your team won't have a counter for a specific hero (especially the stealth ones), which can lead to "pull your hair out" moments. But it is a well done game by Blizzard.
  14. So if you get the forge father steel warriors, do you get the special/heavy weapons with them? That is confusing to me. I didn't see an add-on option for the extra stuff.
  15. Damnit Ando...why do you have to say things like that??
  16. Someone on Bartertown is interested in half of it. I may have a half fleet available. My heart pangs a little thinking about getting rid of this. But I need cash.... :(
  17. Apparently Mantic is going to release a book with lists in it to cover the GW armies. They have said that these armies will not find their way into the Mantic lore, but they did want people that owned these models to still find a game to play. I think that is super cool of them.
  18. Okay, so here is the list of items: 2 battle barges 6 strike cruisers 6 gladius frigates 6 nova frigates (marine version) 8 hunter destroyers (marine version) 3 forgeworld frigates that look marine, but I have no idea what they are classed as (ebay seems to think they are nova class) Most of these models are painted, mostly a very light blue/grey base with white highlights...all but FW are metal so easily cleaned. I would be fine with breaking this up into two fleets, with one of them getting the FW ships. I'll try to get pics up tomorrow. Based on ebay listings that I found, this lot is around $500 easy. I wish I could say I'll drop this for a bargain, but I can't. I need funds, and if I'm going to sell this collection off, then I need what I can get for it.
  19. I am trying to start a new hobby and looking at securing some funds for it. I have a BFG marine fleet that has just been sitting in a box for a while. I know it has two battle barges, and then pretty much every "marine" medium class and escort class associated with it. I think some are painted SW, others are painted white scars. PM if interested and I'll pull together an exact list with pics.
