My list for 'Ard Boyz pt.3 : It sucked.


I’m not going to go into great detail about my little ‘ard boyz experience. If I did, I would get all worked up and pissed off... If I was to blame anybody? I would blame myself... I completely forgot, what effects "competitive play" has on lesser men.


Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never Neverever (!)
try to play a competitive war-game without a complete knowledge of the rules. I’m not just talking core rules, but Army books, Spells, Faqs.... Everything.


Know your shit or pay the price for ignorance.



Since the event, I have been lucky enough to find a new store with some really incredible tables. As a added bonus, the joint offers a discount and is a hell of a lot closer. After that most fortunate occurrence the Model Fairy paid a visit to my house and I magically inherited a bunch of 2nd edition Imperial Guard. I’ve been thinking about repainting my Guard army and this pretty much ends that debate. I might also try to enter a Warhammer Escalation league that the store is running soon. Unfortunately, that means I would have to paint High Elves.....

Okay, we will try this again. After a bit of an oversight on my part. I had to revise the list a little. I added two more skinks to the scout units and  two more magic items to the Slann. One was the Banner of Discipline, as suggested by Nuclear.... Thank you, sir.

 
The other was the Bane Head. I saw in the Lizzie F.A.Q, that the Miscast wounds are doubled by the curse. So, if I bump off a Miscast with my cup, the said Wizard will take double wounds, if any from the chart. It's not a game winning strategy, but it will give the other guy something to think about.


I'm also trying to make up some spell counter to help me remember all that stuff. If I get 'em done in time, I'll try to post them up.

I know, I know.... this list is for 'ard boyz? You must be asking yourself.... "Where's the Cheese?"
No, this list does not contain a double Slann. Nor, is it a Stegga-stampede. It's a nice balanced list with all the units that I am comfortable playing with. I won't lie, there are a few things I'd like to change, but funds and time are an issue right now.  It may be 'ard boyz and all, but I'm not going field unpainted minis just to win a silly tourney game.

Once you start down the dark path of unpainted minis, forever will they dominate your destiny.........
