Raindog Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I am switching Lore this Week to High Magic. I can't wait to see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 You didn't offend me Eric. I was poking fun at myself mostly, with a good natured dig at your word choice. Didn't mean to come off passive aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Eric, you should double check that mounting the mage on the steed gives him fast cav. I was reading the book last night, and I could not find a rule that says the steed itself is fast cav (as opposed to the unit of glade riders). Maybe I missed it. Don't want you to create a bunker for the mage that you end up not being able to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Agent P. Check Page 90 in the Wood Elf book. The Elven Steed Mount is Fast Cavalry, not the unit. Cheers, RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 This week, I have had training during the day, so instead of my usual painting after work, I am hanging out with the family. It also meant, I sleep for 3 hours on Monday night before going to work on Tuesday. I have kit bashed bits on a cavalry base to assemble a Spell Singer fleeting to battle on roots and vines. It is my counts as an Elven steed model. She is ready to be primed. Maybe, I will attend to that later tonight….. I primed ten Glade Guard. They are my next project unless, I decide the Spell Singer cannot wait. I am looking for Waywatchers. If your local store has them, or if you have extras, please let me know.

Raindog Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 After the spray prime on the Waywatcher and 10 Glade Guard, I brushed coated them in a mix of Magic Wash, Black Ink and Black Paint. Next, I have been making a tray for the Dryads. Cheers, RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I have three trays for archers magnetized and a tray made for the Dryads. Jordan gave me an old Way Watcher kindred Lordmodel last year. I cleaned it up and assembled it. I forgot what a pain metal is to clean. I puttied the arms in as well as gluing them in place. Tomorrow, when the putty on the Dryad tray and the Way Watcher Lord is dried, I will spray them and the converted Spell Singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Nice, I am looking forward to seeing your spell singer. It sounds interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Well, I just filled the house with a choice set of obscene utterances as I dropped by Spell Singer. I tried to catch it with my foot and bounced it, so it only broke into 4 pieces instead of 12....... I have been spraying models and movement trays as well as constructing new spite counts as models.

Raindog Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I am waiting for paint to dry..... Really. Mixing in a little too much matte extender is not helping matters. So, I am waiting, watching the Sounders replay, waiting for the dark flesh- dryad bark mix to dry on four movement trays, 10 Glade Guard, and a Waywatcher.

Raindog Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Okay-dokie Webslingers and Donkey Kong fans, I played Brad aka Peanut for the first time last night. Peanut is new to the club and a good guy, so call him out and get in games against him. He is a quality guy. Peanut played goblins last night. No orcs, just gobbos, lots and a lots o' gobbos. He is not a net lister. Instead, he had big blocks of night and standard gobbos. Their was a big spider, a diver, a lobba, and whole host of heroes and lords. After playing the game, I now know High Magic is the Schizz. I dig it. The lore attribute keeps your Mage alive. I cast three high magic spells and the Mage and the unit took three wounds….The lore Atrribute is a life saver. Secnd. Walk Between Worlds is a great spell. Essentially, it lets you teleport around the board, so your mage can cast where she likes. I dropped Fiery Convo for Drain, and took Quench, Walk and Apotheosis. High Magic is a tool box begging to be used. Trueflight arrows caused the same amount of wounds as the Hagbane, but I like the concept of the no penalty arrows. It allows the Glade Guard to hang back and stay out the way of my mobile units.Dryads are terrible. Goblins beat them in combat. The drop in Strength, Ward Save and no ability to take a standard or a musician for a reform is just stupid. They are worth 7 points, maybe 8 at best. Yes, you can give them boons from Shadow, but almost anything is good with Mindrazor………. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think you wasted points on the talisman. The whole point of the tokens from high magic is to negate wounds. Dryads aren't terrible. You weren't running lore of shadow. Okkams is there needed buff now. I don't think they fit the list you posted though. I also feel like the eagle is a waste in your list as well. Unless you're using him as a redirector, you should drop that eagle. Glade Guard fill the war machine hunting role with poison arrows coming from ambush now.

Raindog Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 The Eagle is a redirector and a chaser. It is not vital, but useful. Last night, he popped out Night Goblins that got in my opponent's way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Last night, I painted four movement trays. Now, I need to flock the insets, so they will look my other trays. I line painted the second coat of bases for the 10 Glade Guard and a Waywatcher. Cheers, RD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 This is the question I think you need to ask yourself about the eagle: Will he give up easy VP to your opponent? If this was a list built for all comers, is the eagle worth the risk? Sure, when you bring a list based off an army you know you're fighting, you are able to bring certain things for that particular match up. What would that eagle do for you against WoC, daemons, beastmen, or Ogres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sure, when you bring a list based off an army you know you're fighting, you are able to bring certain things for that particular match up. What would that eagle do for you against WoC, daemons, beastmen, or Ogres?For Warriors of Chaos, the Eagle is there to hunt Chaos Warhounds, flank Marauder Horsemen, and to force Skulltakers of Khorne to overrun away from my threat locations. Against Daemons it is there to railroad, thwart charges and overruns, and to get in my opponent's way. Against Beasts, they hunt Ungor Raiders, flank or rear charge Razorgors or Tuskagor chariots, or to redirect horde units to expose flanks. Against Ogres, they are there to hunt Sabretusk and limit movement on large units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanNinja Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Well then, you have the nice laid out plan for your eagle. Here's another question. If you dropped the talisman and the eagle, could you get 5 more glade riders? I also forgot that you have 2 units of wild riders to charge things.

Raindog Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I sprayed matte varnish on three trays this morning. I am working on painting the base coat of green on the Glade Guard. There is a great deal of difficult spots to reach. The process is very time consuming. I am mixing wash and foundation Ork shade with Dark Angel Green for the base color. I didn't paint on Monday Night, since I had court Tuesday Morning, but I am trying to paint on a regular basis. This will be hard with the Rampage coming up. I need to clean up the club house on Friday, make the Tournament packs and assemble home terrain for the club. Cheers, RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yesterday, I played ringer for the tournament. Thoughts. 1. The Arrow of Kurnous wounded Krieger's Tomb King. 2. Woodies do not do well against battle stars and horde units, but that is what Fiery Convo is for…. 3. In two games the Glade Riders refuse to come onto the board. 4. Walk Between Worlds is my new favorite spell. 5. I built up to 7 wounds counters in 4 turns in one game. Most other games 3 was the norm. 6. Hawkeye is crazy good. 7. The Trueflight arrows are my favorite. Throw enough dice at a problem and wounds are going to be caused. 8. Forest Spirits are not needed in the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Painting has been slow. The last time I painted a Glade Guard was 8-9 years ago. I have been slowly trying to refigure the right recipes of colors through trial and error. The first is done, but needs to be flocked. I am working on the next and am heading slowly down the line of 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 The World Cup is hard to compete with when it comes to painting, BUt I am pushing forward. The the Glade Guard musician is done. I am off to work on the fourth Glade Guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
