Oblivion Campaign: Round 1a

Welcome back. Short reintroduction, but I’m on Cygnar now.

Anyway, so my mates and I jumped into Oblivion as soon as we could. We are playing it with 4 people, so we chose to play our “teammates” during the prologue, before teaming up for the rest of the campaign. We did change one thing with these early scenario rules though. Instead of 12″ vision we made it D6+6″… rolled by the opponent at the start of your turn. This led to oodles of ‘fun’, but everyone had a good laugh so it was a great change. I’ve got the lists at the top, then a short story describing what happened from somebody’s point of view. I’m not a great writer, but it seemed more fun than a regular battle report given the nature of the games being played. Anyway, here you go 🙂

Khador; Widowmakers (Sergeant Sokolov), min riflemen (Korporal Popov), manhunter (Egor )

Cygnar; Precursors min (Battle-Chaplain Mueller), precursors min (Battle-Chaplain Schmidt), Harlan Versh (Heinrich Weber)

The darkness falling off him like a cloak as he stood, Korporal Vasili Popov blew out a breath that he didn’t realise he had been holding. One week! One damn week and he would have been heading home to his farm on leave. But instead, he wasn’t sure if he’d be going home as expected… or ever. Noises of metal on metal filtered through the trees. The manhunter that had been attached to them as a guide, Egor, had disappeared into the trees a few minutes ago with a short grunt of “Enemy”, which was more than he had said for the rest of the trip.

The Illustrious Brown Crown

There’s been a bit of a delay with my recent posts, holidays and sleep have taken over my life. Anyway, now we’re back…

A couple of years ago, a few mates and I get together to play The Brown Crown. For this tournament, we got the worst lists possible with minimal synergy and play timed turns (which we never normally play). Last time we played it was with a bastardised mk2/3 hybrid, using those leaked cards from the big pre-mk3 leak, a smattering of the rumours that were coming out about premeasuring and all. It was a mess and it was glorious fun. I had Kossite woodsmen with Strakhov, other guys had a horrid Mohsar list with minion units or something, it was just the best.

Painting update: Some progress on Tharn models

So, with my desire to play Iona as soon as she drops I felt I needed to paint up some troops, and quick! Since I already had one Ravager started I felt they could be one mob to get done, and the other could be the most fantastic looking unit of the lot, the Wolf Riders! For me this has been a really productive month, so I’m very happy with my effort, even though the results aren’t anything like what has been posted recently on the Circle page from some other painters (like a Brisbane local. Can’t recommend his work enough, and it is even better in person! Here is just one example; http://www.facebook.com/groups/1469296339950179/permalink/2183051051908034)

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
