Game 98 - Empire of Dust - 2018/10/13

Greetings!

It's been a while since I have played against my fellow Wooden Spoon Master from UK so it was great to catch up with Ed again! 

This year Ed plays mainly with his Empire of Dust army and he decided to bring it to the battle field this time too. 

I didn't have many opportunities to play against this faction which is a shame because it has a very unique play style and look. I was curious what Ed is going to focus on and here are the details of the army he used in our game:

40 Revenants, Horde, Infantry, Lifeleech(1), Shambling, Brew of Strength

Game 85 - Empire of Dust - 2018/04/09

Greetings!

I was very hopeful after Clash of Kings Australia 2018 that I would be able to play on a regular basis with an updated army list. Despite the fact that I have plenty of the opportunities thanks to a very vibrant group of players here in Canberra, I was not able to find just enough time for a game. I must admit it was quite disappointing and I do need to try harder to better organize other activities for sure!

Fortunately, Ed and I planned another game some time ago so I managed to allocate enough time and lock it especially for that purpose. 

We both made changes after the release of CoK 2018 but while I made only few (as I explained in the summary of Clash of Kings Australia 2018), Ed decided it is time to bring another of his armies - Empire of Dust. It seems he decided on using it for his games in 2018 and I was very interested in seeing what is his approach with this faction like.

Here are the details of the list he used in our game:

Empire of Dust - Army List

40 Revenants, Horde

- Bone Giant, Monster 

- Ahmunite Pharaoh, Hero, Wings of Honeymaze, Surge (8)

20 Mummies, Regiment

- Bone Giant, Monster 

10 Skeleton Cavalry, Regiment

- Cursed High Priest, Hero, Mounted, Heal(4), Surge (10)

3 Revenant Chariots, Regiment

- Ahmunite Pharaoh on Royal Chariots, Hero, Surge (8)

6 Revenant Chariots, Horde

- Bone Dragon, Monster 

- Undead Army Standard Bearer, Hero, Mounted, Lute of Insatiable Darkness

Edge of the Abyss - The Great Wall! - Empire of Dust - 2017/09/27

Greetings!

The fifth scenario of the Edge of the Abyss campaign is played on the Ardovikian Plain where forces of good try to build a Great Wall in order to stop the green tide of Orcs pouring further into the lands of Men.

This time I had a great pleasure to play against Christo and his Empire of Dust army! I have never had a chance to play against him so it was great to finally do so. Empire of Dust, on the other hand, is not completely new foe for me but then I have not fought against this army for quite a long while. 

Christo brought the following army to our game:

Empire of Dust - Army List

40 Revenants, Horde, Brew of Strength

- Ahmunite Pharaoh, Hero, Wings of Honeymaze

20 Mummies, Regiment

- Reanimated Behemoth, Monster

20 Mummies, Regiment

Kings of Dave 4 - Game 2 - Empire of Dust - 2016/05/27

Greetings!

Game 2 of Kings of Dave was against Luke and his Empire of Dust. I haven't had a chance to play against him before so it was a great pleasure to meet a new opponent too!

My first encounters against this army were not particularly successful. I hoped it was due to the fact these were my first games in Kings of War and was looking forward to the opportunity to see if I learned enough in the meantime to prevail against my nemesis! 

Luke brought the army that had some familiar elements but also contained quite a few completely new units to me. I was thus very curious to see what they are capable of and how to deal with them.

I have finally had a chance for another game in KoW. It happened that it was a re-match against Loriel and his Empire of Dust. Both of us are trying to find our ways in the new system, hence new armies in comparison to what we had last time.

Greetings!

After a lot of thinking, reading and observing I have finally had a chance to play my first game on KoW. I had a pleasure to play against Loriel, who also was interested in trying out new system and he decided to use one of the experimental lists, Empire of Dust.

If you are interested in these armies here is the link:  KoW - Beta Army Lists

Loriel told me he picked the units from his collection purely on their aesthetics as we are both new and we didn't yet know what to expect from these regiments. His army was:
