http://instagram.com/p/CPnSIyonDj_ Another unit finished, and I'm slowly getting this army finished. Only a couple more units left to go. Got 1 more unit of horrors and another unit of the flamers on discs left. Oh and a chariot as well. I'll be taking a break from this army to paint up my troll for the store, Just finished converting him up yesterday. Now to try and squeeze in some painting time before the end of the month. Also going to start rebuilding my Tsons since the book is coming out soon.

Well I haven't made much progress on this army over the summer and it doesn't help that I'm waiting for parts to fix my airbrush, but I am looking to get more done. Though I realized I don't have much of a goal with this army besides doing a couple painting challenges from "The old World Lives" and just wanting to get it done. So I decided to contact Miniwargaming to get a batrep filmed. Though they usually play 8th edition so I'll need to refresh my memory of how to play and got to reread the 8th ed book. I still have a picture years ago of my army I used back in the day along with a picture of my army facing off against some ogres. I can tell you 100% i did not win that game, I rarely ever won against ogres as they were not fun. http://instagram.com/p/2robmWjsea http://instagram.com/p/1RydjgDsS2 The only Issue with the old list besides not having all these models is the fact that i don't know if we are using end times rules. Looking around online, it seems that after the end time started using 50% lords and heroes became part of the norm as it was in the FAQ. So I don't mind using a bunch extra points for my tzeentch daemons for more lord choices as tzeentch daemons lack a lot of punch. If i am using End time rules, then I'll probably run something along the lines of this: LoC - Lv4 lore of metal Daemon Prince - Chaos Armour Herald on Disk 4x10 horrors with banners and musician 2x3 screamers 2 soulgrinders The list is mostly a monster mash then take on a big unit at a time. and it has some punching power besides slinging spells but the horrors are still really brittle and the only option for core. Only issue I have is that i need to get a second giant square base for the second soulgrinder. If anyone has one let me know. Ill update if i do manage to schedule a game but till then I'm working on getting more horrors painted.

Yeah 8th edition was a pretty big mess when it came to balance... pick your opponent carefully and make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to what kind of game you're looking for

I had a regular opponent that always took the banner of the world dragon to get a 2+ ward save against magical attacks which luckily for daemons meant everything ever. Only way to deal with the death star was a 6 dice spell and hope i took them out with skipping their wardsaves.

And they wonder why people stopped playing it lol I still loved the game and really miss it. This was also the time when GW didn't think people actually played the game and just collected the models. All 8th ed made rules to make you purchase more models. I'm really hoping the Old world will be different and more of a smaller scale. Units of 20 models would be a large squad unless it was something like goblins.

My airbrush has been out of commission for a while which has really held me off from doing much with this army lately so I bite the bullet and bought a new one which should be here shortly. But since ordering it I started listening to a new podcast about fantasy which got me back in the mood. If I’m going to play 8th Ed I need banners. I remember there was a mission that banners was needed. And my old list I needed 4. Since the average game mode is 2400pts and I’d need 600points of core at a minimum. So 4 units of pink horrors with banner and musician makes it a nice round 600pts. http://instagram.com/p/CUiiYgHroR9 There’s one more banner that not here but I definitely gotta thank Voodoo for the bits. Used a bunch of random bits from the lord of change to make the banners. Hopefully in the next week or so the airbrush will be in so I can get working on these guys. In the meantime I’ll be working on my Tsons. Yay more Tzeentch!

Well I managed to reach out to a group of players out of Ottawa that play in Ottawa and will be playing my first game in 6 years. So will be heading to Ottawa October 30th for a game against Empire.
I will be taking a list similar to what's above.
LoC - Lv4 lore of metal lesser gift, exalted gift(swapped out for item that allows rerolls of winds of magic)
Herald on Disk lv2 lesser gift
4x10 horrors with banners and musician
2x3 screamers 2x5 furies 1x5 flamers
2 soulgrinders
One thing I realized is that I need to replace my furies. I've got 10 of the old ones, but with the rest of the army being current models, I think ill be replacing them to match.
I'll post pictures of the game shortly after. Most of the models are ready to go, Over half is painted which makes me happy. Hoping to have my army complete by the end of the year. Next year is looking like it'll be kislev. I've managed to find a couple "good" deals on ebay so hopefully have around 1000 points.

Well I managed to get a game of fantasy in over the weekend, first game in years and it was awesome! http://instagram.com/p/CVrRiiDNS8b Played against a fully painted empire army, we played 2000 points and was a super friendly game. No hordes which was great to see. His list was a lv4 wizard on a hurricanum, 2x 20 man units of halbediers, 20 man unit of swordmen, 10 hunstman, 15 flagellants, hellblaster, cannon, steam tank and 3 demigriff night. That steam tank and demigriff nights were the death of my army, well that and not being able to get most of my magic off. I managed to win my right flank but was loosing the left. My bird managed to overrun his unit of swordmen but put my bird in a spot where his steam tank was able to get into combat with the bird where they fought for 3 turns. The steam tank managed to roll a emergency steam vent and kill my bird. Though with my luck, I managed to get a good roll on the reign of chaos and killed the steam tank and got my vengeance. Over all it was a great game, I thought I had the game till I was locked in combat with that steam tank. My MVP was my burning chariot which overran a unit of halberdiers into his hurricanum killing his wizard and then chasing then down after, getting 3 times his points back. In other news I'm now in contact with a store in Ottawa to run a games day for Warhammer fantasy in the new year.

Well progress has slowed right down with lots of events happening locally. I pushed and started painting up some kruleboyz for the AoS event that happened locally and had a blast getting tabled with them. imgur.com/a/nOoTVcb?s=sms Here is a picture of what I finished for the event. Didn't get everything done in time but not bad for 2 good weeks worth of painting. Ill come back to work on these guys some more for the next AoS event and pumped for that. And now that secret Santa has come and gone the next event for me is my Warhammer fantasy event in Ottawa at the end of January. I'm trying to finish my Daemon army for it. I just have 3 changebringers, a burning chariot and my metal daemon prince finished for the end of the month and that will be the last of what I was originally looking to complete for my old world army. I do have some metal Furies I would like to repaint as well as some flamers, and a herald on a disk that I want to finish but those are long term things for 8th ed and maybe Warhammer armies projects. imgur.com/gallery/OdQQF9G?s=sms After I finish my stuff for January I'll be painting the spooky tomb kings for Kings of war/Fantasy as well as working on some Horus heresy. Lots of projects to work on for sure and never enough time. Also have Club champs coming in fast and I have a bit of work to do for that but luckily my army is already painted besides a few minor changes to update the army. Alright, should some more frequent updates in the coming weeks with being it being the Christmas break and COVID being crazy, ill just stay inside and get lots of painting done.
