Ulthuan

So, those beast units looks interesting. But what a mix of animals. But it could be a fun project making your own.

I am not sure we have the same idea of what a fun list is. To me, a fun army can be a pair of spearelf regiments with archer detachments work alongside them. Maybe a unit of elite infantry as a reserve force, RBT:s and cavalry on the wings. Now it looks like an army, a central body of infantry with ...

The Chrace list can be really though. I think it takes time getting used to (I sure need to) but the Chracian woodsmen are potent. Strength 4 shooting, 4+armour against shooting and being skirmishers. And they can wack their opponents with str6 AP3 attacks. That is scary for many opponents. White li...

I think, just think, that GW is really not aiming the Arcane Journals towards competitive play. That is more the realm of the Grand armies. And as far as I am any judge, most players seem to feel their Arcane Journal is the worst. There are exceptions, but I know Empire players feel they got the wor...

Yes, that seem a logical idea and I am thinking like that aswell. But the rule is a bit unclear.

And what happen if a champion get an item that make said champion Impetous? Does transfer to the whole unit since the champion cannot leave the unit?

So, it might just be me being old, grumpy and slow but I am a bit confused about this. It say in the rules that if impetous unit can deckare a charge they must. Those it mean that a unit can see an enemy right from the start 24 inch away they must charge? Even if they cannot charge that far? Or does...

So two games, friendly ones but still and some reflections. Dwarfs are nasty, not least the expeditionary force with all that nasty shooting. At 500 point the Expeditionary force was just murderous. Facing a Royal clan list was hard too but that one could have gone differently. But with 5+ ward save...

Well, I got soundly beaten in first a 500 point and in the following 1500 point game. In the 500 point I faced an Engineer expeditionary force and got shot to pieces. I only brought 5 Sisters for shooting, 14 spears and 10 White lions and a noble. The spears got shot at and then beaten by 8 rangers ...

Okay, this... Is with certainty the crappiest paintjob I have ever done. Basically rushpaint so they can be fielded on sunday.
But if they do well I will return to them and give them proper attention.

I hope to see what the Lion guard can do. The noble general is there because I got a top-notch painte 6th ed Swordmaster champion and promised to field him in my next game.

Going to face dwarfs on sunday and promised to bring an army of Infamy. The Standard bearer and general goes with either the spears or the Lion guards, the Storm Weaver with the archers. A problem is that I might not be able to finish the woodsmen in time. === Chracian raiders [1494 pts] Warhammer: ...

So I will face dwarfs next time. One 1500 point battle and one 500 point battle.
But what should I think about?

Is there any point in bringing magic? I am considering bringing a Storm Weaver with a chracian list.
Maybe White lions can actually be of use?

Greenstuff is part of my plan! But maybe leave some skulls. We will see...

I have already kitbashed 10 Chracian woodsmen and put some paint on a few when I happened to get hold of 6 really old Dark elf corsairs and what I think is an old dark elf assassin. What drew me to them were their axes. Big solid axes. So I figured I could paint their Sea dragon cloaks white too loo...

Well, Highlands miniatures were fast and added "Chracian woodsmen" to their range. Well done!

Really old Dark elf corsairs. But look at them axes! If I remove the skulls on their belt and paint the sea dragon cloaks white...
And some bows and quivers and I got some more chracian woodsmen.
Or Cothique shore rangers or something.

So... I made find at the yearly convention Gothcon here in Gothenburg. Last year I got some old metal Silver helms.
But this time it was these fellas...

A level 3 would be too much points if as per the Secure the Watch tower scenario.

Or a Storm Weaver...

A trident would be very fitting indeed. He is now resting in acetone in order to loose his old paint.

True, true. But I do not have any Tiranoc chariots at the moment. My current theme and backstory for the army is based around Cothique with strong connections to Chrace and also to Avelorn on the other side of the Annuli. But if I could get hold of three second hand Tiranocs for a good price, who kn...

However, before that he needs to loose the old colours

So, found this fella in the take what you like box at hhe club. He came with the body of a chariot but I could not find any other parts of the chariot. So I removed him from it and now I am considering what to use him for. One Idea is to put an axe blade to his spear shaft and make it a chracian gre...

I like to have a magic weapon or two in the army just in case my opponent decide to field etheral units. I hate those things. And my BSB is modelled holding a sword raised high so giving her a two-handed weapon just feels wrong. But yes, an opal amulet and a charmed shield may be better than the tal...

I am yet to decide on a paint scheme. I will go for darker colours, but grey feels too much like shadow warriors. So I am leaning towards greens and browns. Preferably the armour will be steel but I would like a more dull steel colour than shiny silverish steel. Basically I see the woodsmen as more ...

I really love the Battle banner with my Phoenix guards. I was thinking that Resilience would be better but maybe not. Still, I could bring both.

So now I have 10 woodsmen assembled (more or less, one need arms and another cloak. But here they are. Lower bodies are high elf archers, dark elf warriors and high elf spears, heads are a healthy mix, torsos aswell. All in all there are pieces there from the following kits: High elf archers, dark e...

So, it is time to try an army of Infamy. It will be a 1500 point match against my regular opponent. It is most likely a variety of undead I will be facing, but could be nurgle or dwarfs. Anyway, I have said I will bring an army of infamy list and Chrace is the one that works best with what I have. M...

Well, now I am an asrai fan through and through. But is it not right and proper that Ulthuan is in charge?
I mean, those colonials need our guidance and the druchii must be taught their place!
That was Ramesesis speaking. Lord Raimie would probably not care what Ulthuan say or do.

Indeed it is there. But I think Ulthuan is in better shape. I will most likely get more active in Athel Loren when the journal arrive.
