Hordes: Legion of Everblight - Hellmouth (and other purchases)

Okay, yes, its been awhile, sorry.

Life has been really busy, but and I will try to post more.  Yes, I know, you have heard that before too, lol.

So, I really love my Legion of Everblight army.  This was my first army for Hordes, and I will always play them.  I know I have started other armies, but they will always be my go to fun army.  So, I decided I needed to expand on the models that I currently have.  So I did some researching on what others play, most popular units, solos, beasts, etc.  And then I decided, to hell with that, I want to play what I think would be fun, rather that play what other people are doing.

I have not been to Imperial Outpost for a long time, and knowing that they always have a huge stock of Warmachines and Hordes, I made the long haul trip all the way across the Valley Of The Sun to visit them.

Below is a picture of what I picked up that day.

List of what I purchased:

• Carnivean - Ravagore - Scythean Box
• Going to build the Scythean
• Hellmouth
• Strider Deathstalker
• Fyanna The Lash
• Thagrosh, Prophet of Everblight (Thagrosh 1)
• The Forsaken (not pictured above)

I still want to pickup a second Hellmouth unit, and another Deathstalker, and probably a second Forsaken as well.

So, for this post, I will be focusing on the Hellmouth unit, as this is the first of the above that I completed.

The unit went together rather well, and the models were very well designed/made.  I love the way they look and could not wait to finish painting them.

As far as rules go, this unit has to be one of the most scariest units that Everblight has in its arsenal.  I love the fact that every turn you can bring back one of the Tendrils that was lost in previous turns to a max of three on the table at one time, and when you bring them in you can place them anywhere in formation of the Maw, which has a command radius of 8 inches.  The other scary and cool rule they have is the Impervious Flesh rule.  So when they are hit, the Maw or Tendrils get one less dice when trying to wound them, which make their surviveability very high.

I can't wait to get these guys on the table to enact some carnage, lol.

Below is a picture of the finished unit, all painted and based.

Until next time, keep gaming and having fun.

Legion of Everblight (mk3) - Getting more painting done on the models (Nephillim Bolt Thrower and Shredders)

Sorry I have not posted in awhile, but been busy with work and life in general, and I won't bore you with all the drama.

Got some more done for my Hordes: Legion of Everblight.

From the new starter box that just released, the Nephillim Bolt Thrower is done, and completed the 2 Shredders that came in that box, so now I have 6 completed and painted in total. And these go nicely with my Carnivean.

I plan on waiting until they are all completely painted before I finish the bases off.  I find that when I do that that way, they come out more consistent and look better as a group.

I really like how the Bolt Thrower came out, my camera on my phone does not take the greatest pictures, here is a closer view of the model.

Nephillim Bolt Thrower

From the new starter set, I now just have the Warlock Kryssa to paint up and the Heavy Warebeast Neraph to also paint.

Now I need to decide where to go with this army and what to pick up next.  Any suggestion leave in the comments below.

Until next time.......

Unboxing: Hordes Legion of Everblight MK3 (MKIII) Battlegroup Starter Box

Hordes Legion of Everblight MK3 (MKIII) Battlegroup Starter Box

I have been waiting for this for awhile now, and so happy that I was finally able to get my hands on one.  To start of my new MK3 upgrade of my armies, I decided to start on the Hordes side and get the Legion of Everblight Battlegroup kit.  Ever since the announcement of the new edition I have been anxiously waiting to get my hands on the first kits.  Those that were lucky enough to attend this years Lock and Load were able to get the new sets before they are released June 29th.

So, lets rip open this box and take a look at what inside:

The contents of th box are as follows:

• 5 Models - and thier cards
• Warlock: Kryssa, Conviction of Everblight
• Heavy Warbeast: Neraph
• Light Warbeast: Nephilim Bolt Thrower
• Light Warbeast: Shredders x2
• Basic Training Tutorial Guide
• Battle Play Map - 2-Sided
• Introductory Guide
• Hordes: Primal Rules Digest
• Mini rulebook, has all the rule and none of the flush
• 18" Flexible/Paper Ruler
• 4 Six-Sided Dice
• 15 Fury Tokens
• 3 Spell Tokens
• Obstacle Card - Fold up rock wall to use as terrain

I love the new colored plastics they are using for each army faction, nice to see some color on the table if you decide not to paint you models right away.  Makes it easier to tell the two forces apart that way when you are first starting out.

Below is a few more shots I took of the box contents.

Closer look are the card, tokens and colored plastic minatures.

Very nice of them to include the full rules with each starter set.

This is nice for new players, great step-by-step approach to learning the basics.

 I will be of course doing a follow-up post when I have built the models, and then will go over a little about their stats, etc.

Until next time, keep on gaming and always have fun doing it.

Legion of Everblight - Painting coming along for the models of the Two-Player Battle Box

I got motivated tonight, and before I knew it, I actually had finished 5 models.  So if you recall I purchased the Two-Player Starter set for the Hordes awhile back, You can see that post here.  Well, I have been wanting to get these guys painted, and woot, got 5 done for the most part.

Got the base coat down

Now I'm not the greatest painter in the world, but I could say I'm average for the everyday war-gamer.  Here are some photos I took from my phone of the mostly completed models.

Legion of Everblight - Carnivean Heavy Warbeast

Legion of Everblight - Shredder Lessor Warbeasts

Over the next couple of days, I will be painting Lylyth, and then I will be painting the unit that came in that starter box the Blighted Ogrun Warspaers.  Those look like a fun unit to paint and play.  And I can't wait to see the whole group painted and on the table to play.

I'm still not sure what I want to do with the bases, I see some people go with winter theme and snow, and then other rocky and dry grass, etc.  But I have not made up my mind what I want to do.  If you have any thoughts leave comments below.
