Team Tournament Game 1: Circle (Mohsar: Secret Masters) vs Cygnar (Caine3: Heavy Metal)

So, this is the start of a recap of a recent tournament I went to. I’m going to post each battle report individually, but they’ll be linked by the heading so it should be easy enough to follow. This was a week before the CID dropped, for future reference.

The tournament was a three man event, it gets called the “German format”, but I’m not sure which event they are referring to when they say that. Anyway, living right on the outskirts of town and getting no practice, I was happy to miss this event so I didn’t drag a team down. But then the TO said they wanted another team just to make up numbers, and I couldn’t resist taking some silly Circle stuff. So there I was, with 2 fun lists at a teams tournament, my teammates were a Cryx player and a Menoth player. You can find our lists, and the lists from every other team here https://conflictchamber.com/?event=559

Painting Update: Loki and my general warpwolf scheme

Hi guys, I’ve been working on Loki and a few other models recently. Unfortunately the start of school term is always a bit of a mess, so I haven’t completed them. But the base colours and the first layer of highlights on my favourite model are complete. I’m looking forwards to getting him done and on the table though! So prettyyyyyy

Khador (Irusk2: Armoured Corps) vs Cryx (Terminus1: Infernal Machines)

Welcome back to battle report week! Two of my mates played a game the other week, one with one of my favourite casters ever (Irusk2) and one with a list that I adore (the horde of Mechanithralls). Since the next battle report will be a Circle tournament battle report of mine, I felt that this would be a good time to go with something other than Circle before you get inundated.

Lists
Khador Cryx
Armoured Corps Infernal Machines

Theory Week: Tanith1 in Devourer’s Host

2x Max Tharn Ravagers

-2x Tharn Ravager Chieftains

Tharn Bloodweavers

-Haruspex

Tharn Bloodtrackers

-Nuala

Brigid & Caul

So, while a lot of these models are still in CID, I think this could be an interesting alternative to Iona in my pair, and Tanith doesn’t seem to see much use outside of maybe Call and Wolves (and I am stressing the ‘maybe’ there).

Painting Update: My general theme and some models to boot!

Hi friends. So I have finally gotten a start on a few different categories of models. I’m going to roughly break down my scheme here, if you have any further questions I’m happy to give more details on colours choices. The basic idea is that it is a desert theme. I thought, what are the two most important things in the desert? The sand and the sky. So the two main colours are a red-yellow and a light blue. The light blue of the sky has more power, it’s where rain, sun, lightning, etc. comes from, so it is the “power” colour, in a sense (so druids will have more of it being the magic wielders, and magic runes will also use it). My bases will be bare, rocky with just the small scraggly scrubs you could expect in a desert. Problem is… I don’t have any small rocks or scrubs yet. So sadly these bases are undone. Oh well, that’s something for a future update 🙂

Starting a new faction

Hi friendly people, welcome to my Circle Orboros blog. I’m just starting out after years of Khador, so it’s going to be interesting.

My theme: I’m going for a desert theme, out on the way to Skorne-town. Wolds will be a red-brown stone, runes are blue, furs are…. well we’ll see when I get to painting a fur colour ha.

My starting lists: Continue reading “Starting a new faction”

The Journey Begins

Hi, and welcome to my blog. It’s following my descent into Circle Orboros. And oh boy, with the Tharn CID coming up is there a better time to be getting on board?

This blog will follow a four week cycle. I’m a teacher, so come the end of each term there’s a chance there will be a gap, but hopefully it won’t be a common thing.

Week 1: A battle report: A battle report (ideally including images) of a battle from that week, including a turn by turn breakdown. If a tournament took place, it will be a report on that instead.

Week 2: A painting update: Images and a short article of the models that have been painted this week.

Week 3: A theory article: Discussing possible changes to my lists, ideas for lists going forwards or focusing in on one model and what I think they can do/what I imagine they will do for me.

Week 4: An odds and ends week. It could be an update on models from another system, thoughts on an upcoming event/release/tournament, or cheering on some sporting even that is happening soon.

I hope you enjoy it, and that your feedback will help me get better (especially with painting, jeez!)

Additionally, after talking with some mates in my local meta, they have said that they may contribute as well. So we may see battle reports, painting updates and theory featuring Protectorate, Cryx, Khador and more to boot J
