Game 141 - Trident Realm - 2020/04/19

Greetings!

In the second game I have played after a break I had another great opportunity to learn from the Master himself! Jeff is always happy to play even though his gaming schedule seems to be super busy! 

By the way, if you have not listened to one of the most recent Counter Charge podcasts, here is the link to the episode where you can listen to the Master himself. I highly recommend it!

List Building Studio - Jeff Traish

As you have probably noticed from my previous battle reports, Jeff is constantly experimenting with new versions of his army lists, even if he is playing with the force from a single faction for a period of time. 

Thus you can always count on some variations, even if Jeff has some principles he usually follow in the way he designs his armies (go and check the podcast to learn more about it!). This time, Jeff returned to Trident Realm of Neretica and here are some details of the list he took (we played at 2000 points per side):

Game 140 - Night Stalkers - 2020/04/13

Greetings!

It has been a while since I played a game of Kings of War and wrote a battle report. In fact, the last game I played was in January!

Such things are never planned to happen and yet ... 

Fortunately, I managed to get two games recently and I hope I will be able to get back to regular plays and battle reports. 

I was really nicely surprised that Mr Erasmus Burger (on FB or DarkBlack on Kings of War Forum) reached out to me and offered a game of Kings of War! Erasmus has recently completed his first game in the frame of Call to Arms tournament and I highly recommend his battle report that you can find here:

DarkBlack's - Call to Arms

Thanks to Universal Battle 2 we could play our game across time and space! Erasmus brought his trusty Night Stalkers army called "Tentacle Street Sneakery Club"! 

Although I have been using Good Army Lists to build my armies for some time, Erasmus reminded me that I may also want to register for new Mantic Easy Army by sending me his beautifully formatted army list. Here is 2000 point version of his force:

Night Stalkers - Army List

Scarecrow Horde (S2), Infantry - 130

Doppelganger Regiment (D) - 145

Butcher Horde (B1), Large Infantry - 205

Butcher Horde (B2), Large Infantry - 205

Monster March 4 - Final

Greetings!

We have finally arrived to the end of March and because of that, Monster March 4 challenge is officially over! 

I am really happy I could host it 4th year in a row and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the participants for joining the painting challenge this year!

There were some amazing ideas, projects and models that you pledged this year. I am always amazed by the creativity people show, both in their ideas for models, and execution of their chosen projects. It is a privilege to host a painting challenge like this!

I am also very glad that people kept coming during the entire month! That was the idea from the beginning, whenever you start is less important than the fact that you do! 

In the final post about this year painting challenge I am going to list all the participants. Please, do not worry if you have not finished your project during this month. There is a lot going on in real life and the painting challenge aims to help you dealing with other issues by providing enjoyable distraction. I just hope all is good on your side!
