Soooooo lets do a quick army change shall we?

I've decided that as much fun as I'm having with Khador I want to try something that isn't just a beat stick army.

Either I haven't been playing them well enough (which is entirely possible) but I'm just not enjoying playing games with them. At the gaming store I go to I found out on of the guys were selling a couple of his boxed sets and he just wanted them to get out of his hands! So next week I will be the proud new owner of ... Wait for it... An awesome Protectorate of Menoth army. *Cue crowd fan fare!*

Yes I know, I have a serious case of altitious! (Meaning I constantly want change.) But it was a really, really good price and now I can battle myself because you know forever alone and all that stuff. XP

Once I have pics of it I will post them, for now I'm working on an army list. So far what I have will just about make a decent, heavy on the jack army.

So lets keep a running tally on how many times I set myself on fire and see what happens!

A Little Tied Up Last Night

Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Nuit Blanche with a good friend. We ended up staying out until about 1:00am then after a quick rest I went back out in our area to explore a bit more. For the past 8 years there has been a night long rope show with a live feed attached if you want to find some information on it, it's called Morpheous' Bondage Extravaganza they have done a wonderful job of pairing rigger's and rope bottoms to create a beautiful show. I highly suggest taking a browse of the website if it's something you are into, because I know I will.

*Cough* Often! *Cough*

I spent a good amount of time at MBE 2013 watching, learning and admiring. In-fact I started and ended my night in the walls of this wonderful place. I'm a bit of a rope fanatic, and some of the stuff these experts can do is breath taking.

Ok, soooooooo I'm going to stop talking about it now before I start drooling.

Update!

So it has been a crazy busy time, what with our Scout group starting up again,planning of upcoming camps, and applying to school, I haven't had as much time to blog.

I have been working on my Khador Army... What else is new? So far I have 20 points and the plans for about 35 points total.... Sooooo that leaves me out of some tournaments but that is A-oK, I'll eventually figure out some more units to add in.

I GOT INTO SCHOOL! I get to learn about how to organize little kids and take care of them in a structured way. I really want to figure out how to add some nerdy things into my daycare plan. xP We  will see how it goes!

Agents of SHIELD Tv show is coming out soon, kinda looking forward to seeing it.

Doctor Who returns soon! Well kinda... The Anniversary special will be airing in November then they don't have a solid release date for season 8... SADNESS!!!

Speaking of Doctor Who I have officially bought 3 new posters which I don't have any pictures of cause I am not putting them up until I move, butbutbut! I have a Tardis poster that is holographic!!!!!!! Eeeeee!

Gaming/Hobby Stores

Let's talk about Gaming and Hobby stores, now here is a pet peeve of mine: when I want to go play games in a store on the scheduled night and I sit in a dark dingy basement that needs a very very VERY good hose down because it smells like sweat and body odor. Almost every gaming/hobby store that has a gaming area has this area in a spot that is off to the side or in the basement and has little to no ventilation!

So when I come across a store that is bright, airy, user friendly, well organized and that makes me want to stay there because of general cleanliness and how the store is laid out I go out of my way to go there!


This store that I found is about an hour and a bit away depending on traffic and it's so very worth it!
1. Warmachine is on a night that doesn't take my weekends away!
2. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!
3. Gaming areas are on the same level as the store.
4. It's a decent size, the boards are pretty good and are kept in nice working order.
5. Super friendly knowledgeable staff and owner!


There are many more points that make me want to go out that way to do it, but I won't bore you with the details!

Why my Khador Army Kicked Butt!

My friend hmmmm for this blog post lets call him Cryx Commander or CC for short, well my friend CC has kicked my army's arse every time we have battled. Everytime without fail, the first couple times he CRUSHED my army, as in there was never any chance of coming back from that without great skill (which I'm currently lacking) or sheer dumb luck.

But my friends I have done the impossible! I kicked his bottom, not even a little I demolished his army! Woot! Now I really don't usually brag but we have played about 10 games now and I think I needed this win. For most other people I would believe that they would let me win but CC wouldn't he believes in logic and doesn't believe in hand holding or coddling someone. Though I will admit again this was mainly due to how over powered my Warcaster is, Vladamir the Dark Prince of Umbrey seriously kicks ass on stats. CC has many more years of Miniature War games under his belt but soon through the skills I have learned from him I'll be able to kick butt everywhere! 

Pathfinder ~ To Society or not to Society

Whether tis nobler... oh wait not Shakespeare... Ok!

A few friends and I play a very rousing game of Pathfinder almost every Sunday. We have changed DM's a few times and I think we have finally settled on one, and that is me! Woot! *does little booty dance* I rather enjoy having the control over our game and sending the big scary monsters after my friends and watch them work through how to kill, defeat and succeed. So far since I've been DM nobody has died from the party, this is largely due to the fact we have a fantastic Cleric and well at least two wands of cure light wounds, and one wand of cure moderate.

The group we started with playing has since changed and there has been some graceful exits and some not so graceful ones but all in all Pathfinder has been a wonderful experience in getting me back into gaming.

Last week I sent them on a mission to collect a chest... not my finest work ever to be honest but for some reason I felt really rushed. It's not a normal feeling when we game, I think next time I will just have to be super organized (more so than usual) just to get back into it.

Round 1: Fight! (Battle Report #1)

I found out yesterday that Warmachine has a funny fighting style. It can go quickly if you aren't paying attention AND if you finish your turn and start swearing in your head then well you did something stupid and you and I have a lot more in common than you think!

Now for someone who is use to playing Pathfinder and games like that, miniature war games are different enough to be confusing. I've never played Warhammer or games like it and if I had then maybe I would have had a better outcome to our practice game last night. My friend's Cryx army decimated my Khador forces and I left myself open to having my Warjack do the final blows to my Warcaster, thankfully the roll fell short and saved me that embarrassment! 

So now that I saved the embaressment of having my warjack end the game, I left myself open to a melee attack that completely over killed my warcaster, now let me say this: DON'T LET A WARJACK GET INTO MELEE WITH YOUR WARCASTER! *Sigh* 

My next battle report will be better, but our duel which when two people know what they are doing is only supposed to take about 20-25 minutes took about an hour.

             LEARNING! YAAAAY!

My Khador army will crush yours!

Soooooooooooo,



my friend decided that he didn't want to play Warmachine alone so he got me into it by purchasing my first
starter kit.




I will admit the description of Khador made me make high pitched squeaky noises, seriously who can resist:

Khador's powerful warjacks epitomize the national ideals of strength and resilience and are as relentless in battle as the frigid winter of their homeland.

Taken straight off of the back of the Khador Battlegroup box.

 *Insert stupid grin*




Okaaaay! So now you know my painfully horrible addiction that has started all of three days ago. Now I must admit the horrible truth... My painting skills suck, it seriously looks like an epileptic monkey spazzed out and threw red paint everywhere. But it is my first go and I'm slowly learning some new techniques. Lets show you the first photo while I hide in shame.


I also am quite aware how bright and out of focus it is... Photos should get better eventually...










What I have realized is that the Khador paint kit didn't have all the colours I saw my army being in, so I bought two full paint kits and a pot of Quick Silver. So now I can make my army of the frigid north shine bright like the snow and ice from their homelands.









I know, I have quite a ways to go before my miniatures army is completed but I am in it for the long haul, and I am looking forward to what it looks like all completed.

Hello World!

Why hello there, my name is Erynith!

What a funny name! Well to be completely honest it isn't my real name! It will be the name I'll go by on here.

You might be lost, or you might be browsing but this will be my little world. Where I will be posting my progress on my miniatures, what craft/DIY thing I have started this week and I will probably be posting things about my life.

If none of these things interest you, have a great day! If they do: well then stay tuned for the craft to hit the wall!

Yours in all Serenity, Erynith
