Warhammer Escalation League Pt.2

 
These are actually pictures of my 3rd game of the league.  The brave High Elves stood against the Hordes of the Chaos. The game was only 1k, so there's no need to go into a detailed analysis of my defeat. With is only one game left in the mini-league and with last weeks loss. I'm pretty much out of the running for any of the fabulous prizes.

The league has been allot of fun and a learning experience on how to play "competitively". In all reality, I need to quite hamstringing myself with self-imposed restrictions. This time around it was trying to use my new High Elf army against every one's established collections. I was painting/making do with what I had, while my competitors were building solid lists out of their larger armies.

The league has also forced my to ponder the "why" gamers don't paint their stuff, but I'll go into that after everything is wrapped up on Thursday.

Random Wargames Pics.

I've been playing allot of games lately. For the most part, its has been Warhammer and a sprinkling of Mordhiem. So, here's a few of the pictures just for fun. The only game I'm missing pictures for is a 1k. Kin-strife between the Wood Elves and my freshly painted High Elves. It was one of them reserve games and "1's" were plentiful at the time... leaving most of my army off the table. The ambush that followed was swift and brutal.

This is from the Mordheim game that Z. and I play last night. The sinister Skaven made way into the city of the Dammed for the first time. The struggle that followed was won by the Rat-men. The Rozenritters have vowed revenge....

And finally,  my Escalation League from last Thursday. I won this game, but I felt kinda bad afterwards. We were both still new to 8th. Edition and things got screwed up more then once. Brent was great sport about everything, but it always bugs me when stuff happens. These are definitively not the kinda "wins" that you enjoy.

Island of Blood Update

Here are some pics of my 750 pt. army for last weeks game in the Escalation league. I'm not going to base any of the models until all the army is painted. As of right now, I have been slaving away a unit of spear-men for next weeks game. I'm not entirely sure, what I am going to do for the very last game, but I'm sure I'll figure out something.

I got really lucky in last game and managed to pull off a win against the Ogre Kingdoms. It was a tough fight, due to the fact, a special rule limited all shooting to half-range for the entire game.  However, my Sword-masters were keen on chopping up the Ogres and put in a stellar performance. So, with a lose and win each, it should put me in the dead middle of the standings for the league.
