Nephren-Ka

Came home today to find that my damnable feline used my storage bin (the one containing all of my assembled, primered, and painted ogres) as a springboard to my window ledge. Long story short the little pissant managed to flip the entire thing over and accomplished the near impossible feat of damaging half the contents. This is why I voted for a dog. I sold my ikea glass cabinet this afternoon, followed shortly thereafter by me unwrapping my glass display cabinet (beautiful wooden contraption) and finding out that the damn thing was shattered during the move. A harrowing afternoon. Thanks for letting me rant and now on to my question. Looking for a transport/storage option that's more secure and would allow me to store my models upright. I've had my eye on a tablewar case (http://www.tablewar.com/) but all of their example are 40k related and they haven't responded to my inquiry. Anyone familiar with this product or seen if it can accommodate a WFB army. Thanks

Updated to reflect the sale of the motorpool bag and display cabinet. Terrain is currently pending. Giants and malifaux remains.

Hey folks, have various items that I'm looking to sell in my effort to downsize (and purchase more stuff strangely enough). I would like to avoid having to ship anything, so would prefer to sell to someone local (pdx) or if you could arrange to have a friend meet me. Ogre kingdoms army book (good condition, $25) 2 giants ($35 for both) ++Pending++ One is built, painted as the chaos variant, and was something I received as part of trade from awhile back. The other is NOS, although missing the base. Malifaux lady justice box set (metal, unassembled and in box) and card deck ($15) Sabol motor pool army bag ($89 new, asking $35) ++SOLD++ Glass cabinet from ikea ($65 new, asking $20) ++SOLD++ Mixed lot of at-43 terrain, shipping containers, and assorted terrain (sold as one lot) ++Sold++

Realized that I had more at-43 and assorted sci-fi terrain than I previously thought. I'd be willing to entertain cash offers on the box of contents below.

I just heard that my grandmother passed away this morning. I'll be attending a memorial service in Bend this weekend so I don't think I'll be able to make the Rampage.

Played Empire (Murphy's Lawyer) with my 2000pt Rampage List. I'll spare you the details, but my first run at ogres was at the very least educational. Things were going well at first as I was actually out shooting an Empire list and bombarding him with heaven's magic. It's not often that I can point to specific mistakes that cost me the game, but in this instance I can point to two. First lesson learned, don't send mournfangs in unsupported and, more importantly, don't charge a steamtank. Second lesson learned, don't get all brazen with with the ironblaster and start charging things. I bounced off a unit ofd reiksguard knights, which would have been decimated by a well placed cannon ball or even grapeshot. I think I'll be sticking with this list for the rampage, as it includes most of my OFCC army minus a bull unit, stonehorn, giant, and fourth mournfang. As far as my OFCC list goes, I'm liking the looks of this one: Slaughtermaster- Lvl4, heavens, GW, glittering scales, grut's sickle, dragonbane gem Bruiser- BSB , dragonhelm, gold sigil sword, ironcurse icon Butcher- Lvl 1, GW, dispel scroll Ironguts (6)- FC, standard of discipline Ogres (6)- Standard, bellower, ironfists Ogres (6)- Standard, bellower, ironfists Leadbelchers (4)- bellower Maneaters (4)- Standard, bellower, hvy armor, brace of pistols, scouting/poison, gleaming pennant Mournfang (4)- Standard, bellower, hvy armor, ironfists, dragonhide banner sabretusk Giant Ironblaster Stonehorn - harpoon launcher I added the gold sigil sword on the bsb as I have no other way to contend with ethereal units. I would have like to have added another sabretusk, but would have been hard pressed even if I dropped the extraneous magic items. The sabretusk points value (same as the legal drinking age) is hard to make work. Hopefully the current iteration of my OFCC doesn't tilt the rating scale too much.

Hi folks, Have a very specific bitz request that I need to finish up my maneaters for OFCC. I need: -mournfang pistols with the hand attached, I could also use the accompanying arm piece -crossbow shaft with arm from the stonehorn kit I have (trade preferred, but I also have cash): -chaos warrior bitz and iconography (from various 40k and WFB, couple from forgeworld) -metal dark elf assassin (NIB) -plastic skaven plague monk (from the bell kit I think) -parts from the citadel battering ram (was converting it to a warshrine, hence the CW bitz above) -metal lady justice box set and cards -3 or 4 of the AT-43 shipping containers, bunker, and some other bitz

Ever tried darning a lace glove? Besides, its not the size of the glove but the vehemence with which they come off. See you Sunday.

Murphy's Lawyer, I challenge thee to a 2000pt game this Sunday.

Ticket purchased. Now I just need to figure out how to play ogres.

Update time: Assembled: 2 x 6 man ogre units, 2 sabretusks, ironblaster, bsb, slaughtermaster, giant, gorger Planned assembly for this week: leadbelchers, followed by 6 man irongut unit, possibly 4 maneaters Painting- testing out paint scheme on a maneater I'm thinking about swapping out one of the leadbelcher units and the gorger for a four man squad of maneaters (brace of pistols, hvy armor, scout, poison, gleaming pennant). I really like maneaters and I think they would cause more ruckus for warmachines and whatnot. Any thoughts, I was thinking about running them 2x2 to avoid charge arcs and make them more maneuverable.

Challenge accepted albeit it may have to be next weekend. My ogres aren't assembled yet and my high elves were mistakenly placed in storage at my father-in-law's house (who is currently out of town until mid June). Hoping I'll have at least 2000pts of ogres assembled by the 25th, they'll use the feathers on your fancy hats to pick their teeth.

The Magnificent Bastards? Or, I gliff snue. It's early, maybe I'll have a revelation after my coffee

Can't answer if its worth including in your list, but I think I have an extra high elf griffon if you want it.

To make all of you feel better, I just recently took the plastic overwrap off of the boxes containing my models. But hell, that's partly why I chose ogres (low model count...and nipple action).

Sweet. I read the prior two and consider his work some of the best fantasy I've read to date. Which isn't that extensive a list by the way.

The wife has made other plans for me. Oh joy! I get to play the same tired board games (affectionately known as 'bored games', terribly clever) with another couple.

I'll do my best to make it today. Just need to finish unpacking and find my army, its so cleverly packed that I haven't located it yet.

Please. I feel foolish throwing more points on the butcher, but then I realize that Ive already invested a great deal by just including him. You got it, I'll be needing a crash course in how to play ogres and many, many a game to feel reasonably competent. Hochlanders taste like chicken, gauntlet thrown.

oh captain! my captain! No interest on my part, and you're all better off for it.

Okay, I went a little crazy with the armor but it seemed like a better deal than talismans. Points total is 2799. So is this list approaching middle of the road? Lords * Slaughtermaster- lvl 4, lore of heavens, crown of command, gold sigil sword, armor of fortune Heroes * Bruiser- BSB, great weapon, armor of silver steel, luckstone * Butcher- lvl 1, lore of great maw, dispel scroll, gambler's armor Core * Ironguts (6)- FC, Standard of Discipline * Ogres (6)- standard, musician, ironfists * Ogres (6)- standard, musician, ironfists Special * Gorger * Leadbelchers (4)- musician * Leadbelchers (4)- musician * Mournfang Cavalry (3) - FC, ironfists, hvy armor,Dragonhide Banner * Sabretusk Pack (1) * Sabretusk Pack (1) Rare * Giant * Ironblaster * Stonehorn -Harpoon Launcher

If an opinion from a guy with scant knowledge of WFB and almost no insight into beatman matters, then I vote for list 1. I don't know if its more tactically sound, I just like the ghorgon model and a unit of trolls just seems bad azz

Ogre wizards are restricted from taking magical armor, correct? Reading through some forums and folks were making the argument that being able to take an ironfist made magical armor allowed. I'll definately shift around some points and see what I can come up with to allow for the dragonhide banner. Please tell me that the gorger is worth its 90pts.

That's about as direct a response as I could ask for, duly noted and thanks. I went back to my original list and incorporated some of the feedback (i.e. toned it down). I like it well enough, and I went with the FC on the bulls because I had the extra points although I might drop the champs for another sabretusk: Lords * Slaughtermaster- lvl 4, lore of heavens, crown of command, gold sigil sword, tal of preservation Heroes * Bruiser- BSB, great weapon, armor of silver steel, luckstone * Butcher- lvl 1, lore of great maw, great weapon, dispel scroll, opal amulet, ironcurse amulet Core * Ironguts (6)- FC, Standard of Discipline * Ogres (6)- FC, ironfists * Ogres (6)- FC, ironfists Special * Gorger * Leadbelchers (4)- musician * Leadbelchers (4)- musician * Mournfang Cavalry (3) - FC, ironfists, hvy armor,Banner of Eternal Flame * Sabretusk Pack (1) * Sabretusk Pack (1) Rare * Giant * Ironblaster * Stonehorn -Harpoon Launcher

Made some changes to the list above, really tempted to make this happen. Do I go with the White Mammoth Tribe or something similar to my original build? Folks, please weigh in. Which would you prefer to play against at OFCC Pros- fluffy, seems fun to play, in keeping with the spirit of OFCC Cons- Never played ogres before, may be limiting myself too much, additional purchases
