Escalation League (week 2) recap & Week 3 preview

Here's a few random thoughts: I like 8th edition*, I like the store I found, and blocks of Saurus Warriors are best ignored or evaded. You most likely won't seal the deal without devoting a -lot- of resources to the melee.





Week 2 was another good time and this time I managed a win. My opponent was a really cool father that had his kid in the league too. (He was distracted a bit but I didn't mind. I'm sure his kid was having a blast.) This game was vs. Lizardmen again in a cool Fantasy-esque mission where our forces vied for the possession of warpstone tokens, which were worth a random number of victory points at the end of the game.

For next week, I bought another unit of Glade Riders, some Waywatchers, and two of the new generic pieces of wargear (from the back of the rulebook) for my Noble.

Wood Elf List for Escalation League (week 2)

Last week was fun, but I lost. Apparently comets aren't good for anyone's health... who knew? This week I get to add 250 pts to my army which is cool. Noble gets to ride a horse now and I get more trees and bows. My strat? Shoot em and stick em lol

I'm gonna try to take pictures this week. Good times are distracting and all. Here's the list. Any advice on going to 1k from my readers?

Wood Elf List for Escalation League (week 1)

I'll be playing my first game with the new edition today and it'll be for a league at our local store, so it should be a blast. Below you can see the list I'm using. It's an escalation league so it starts out small and the game size increases over the course of the following weeks. I'd post more thoughts but 500 pts doesn't allow for a lot of that.. and I don't know what I'll be playing against. Hope this does well for me.
