New Fantasy blog..

Scroll Caddy - when 40k veterans start Fantasy. I'll be posting my Wood Elves and any other WHFB related stuff over there w/Larry from 'Paint Your Toys'.

Scribblings

Thought I'd get a first post in here to get the ball rolling. I go by zealot and I've been involved with the Warhammer 40,000 hobby for about 9 years. My partner in square-based crime is Larry, who's been in the hobby since Rogue Trader. We've played 40k regularly for years but never much Fantasy.

I got back from being out of state last year and Larry had painted not one but two fantasy armies. (Dark Elves and Lizardmen if you're wondering.) I've gotten my first thousand points of Wood Elves together and they're currently awaiting some decent primer. (Our local shop can't keep stuff in stock to save his life.) I'll try to keep the caddy quill fresh as I venture through painting my new investment.

I'm sure we'll post lots of pictures of what we're working on, but we're approaching this from a different perspective. Hopefully, as we get more into the game, we're going to post our thoughts in the hopes veteran Fantasy players can pipe in and help inform or encourage us as far as some of the intricacies of the game go. :)

Changed my list...

Well after a few games i feel the need to change the 1,000. List. Not cause I'm gett'n tabled just about every game. More for the reason, that when it was built. It was made of what I had painted or constructed. Over the past weeks the number of minis have grown (slowly) and it's time to make a list with some teeth.

Fate weaver -333

10 Plague Bearers with Icon -175

5 Horrors with bolt -95 (x2 = 190)

6 Horrors with changeling -107

3 Flamers -105

2 Blood Crushers with instrument -85

Total--995
7 Kill Points
4 scoring units

What has change... is we lost the Masque and cut down on some Horrors. The points were used up to get the Flamers and Blood-Crushers. I hope the cheesy Flamers will raise some concerns to help take some heat off Fate Weaver. The Crushers are there to have a assault unit. The last list did not have a single dedicated close combat unit. If I continue to roll 2's for my Waves I can use 'em as a lance.

Which I must admit my last game did... finally happen. Yes, it true!

Out of 7 games with my Hurd. I roll a 3+ for deployment. First Time...Whoo Hooo!

Only to have Fate Weaver get blasted in face ( 2nd Turn) and call'n it quits after losing a single wound. Yup.... lost that game too.
