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.

Warmachine/Hordes Demo Gaming - Got in some Gaming down at Game Depot

Sunday May 29th, 2016

Decided to get in some gaming today, so I met my Brother and my Son over at Game Depot in Tempe, Az.  My brother is new to the Gaming world, and for his first Tabletop game decided to get into Warmachine/Hordes or as we come to call it Warmahordes.  He purchased the starter battle box for the Cryx army, and has them all assembled, and even has one finished painted and based, which is very cool.

You can check out his blog by clicking the link:  Havenstead Hobbies

You can also catch his updates in my blog roll on the right-hand side of this blog when he posts updates.

Below is a picture of his army on the tabletop ready for the first game.

In his first game, he did very well, he played against my son, which also plays Cryx.  With Cryx vrs. Cryx is was an intereting first game between them.  I basically play referee for them as they are both learning the game.  My Son has some games under his belt, so it was fun to get my brother playing and teaching them both about the rules as the game progressed.  Its quite fun to Demo games for people and will be doing more demos in the future with Warmahordes, Bolt Action, Gates of Antares.

It ended up being a very fun day of gaming, and look forward to many more in the future.  Its been awhile sine I played a game at Game Depot, is a 30+ min drive for me one way, but will try to make it back here more often.

Well until next time, always play more games, and don;t stress the small stuff, its only a game.

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.

Big news from Privateer Press about Warmachine and Hordes

So, they announced that they are coming out with new editions for both Warmachine and Hordes.  So exited, is been over 5 years since the last edition of the rules.  So looking forward to this.

Here is the YouTube video they released about it:

This new really got me motivated, and tonight I started to paint my Legion of Everblight army.  So looking forward to the new boxed sets.  Below is the new images of the new boxed sets for the current armies that I play

I will post pictures of them in progress tomorrow and the completed ones hopefully by Sunday.

Adding Hordes: Picked up the Two-Player Battle Box

I used to play Hordes a while back, and had even had the Legion of Everblight starter box.  But with the gaming group I used to hang out with, we never really got into playing that very much, and eventually my Everblight went the way or E-Bay.

Lately, I have been really enjoying playing Warmachine, and loving my Protectorate of Menoth.  The group that I am playing with now, also plays Hordes armies as well.  So, I wanted to get back into playing the Legion of Everblight, so off I went down to Odyssey Games to see what I wanted to pick-up.  I was going to just grab the Everblight starter box, and maybe a few other boxes/blisters.  But then I saw the Two-Player Battle Box.  Now this is one hell of a deal, it was $99, but what a deal.  If you add up everything you get in this starter, it's about a $230 value.

Here is everything you get in the box:

A Mini Rule Book, even though it does not have any of the fluff it has all the rules.  You get an Intro guide, dice, a ruler, and 20 models for both Legion of Everblight and Circle Orboros armies.  It also comes with the stat cards for each model in the box.

Here is a breakdown for each army:


Legion of Everblight

• Warlock Lylyth, Herald of Everblight
• Carnivean Heavy Warbeast
• 4 Shredder Lessor Warbeasts
• Unit: Blighted Ogrun Warspear
• Leader and 4 Warspears

Circle Orboros

• Warlock Kaya the Wildborne
• Feral Warpwolf Heavy Warbeast
• Argus Light Warbeast
• Winter Argus Light Warbeast
• Unit: Warpborn Skinwalkers
• Leader and 4 Skinwalkers

I really look forward to getting these guys on the table and getting some games in.  I'll post when I get them all assembled, and also when I get them painted.

Until next time, go out, have fun, and always do what you love no matter what anyone says or thinks about you.  Lifes too short to worry about the haters, you know who you are.
