NiCon Lists

So the NiCon lists have been sent oot (http://www.thefieldsofblood.com/2013/05/nicon-lists-released.html) if you want to see them.

The field looks very strong. Peter Dunn, James Brown, Dan Butler and a bunch of other big cats will be attending. And I feel like a wee little chump compared to them but it shall be good fun nonetheless. The goal for this is to get 60-70pts throughout all the games which is quite reachable. My army has the power to carve some good wins even against less favorable match ups.

Submitted list for NiCon

Submitted my list for NiCon yesterday... same deal as Runefang, RS with three scrolls, BSB with Challenge rune and defensive stuff lol. Two hammerer blocks, warrior block, small shooty rangers block, double cannon and double organ gun. BANG. This will be the furthest tournament I've been to so far (usually just stationed in Wellington for my competitive scene) so this will be a nice change of scenery. I'm hoping to make a least one Auckland tournament in the future, and maybe one down south, gotta save all my pennies, so we'll see! :D.

Really looking forward to the trip up there, gotta remember to bring some road trip music "On the Road Again", "I've been everywhere man" and some generic trucker music lol

And because I'm such a champ, I'll post my list again just so you guys don't have to scroll all the way down my blog (because you know, a lot of effort that takes lol)

Runesmith, x3 Scrolls, Shield-147
BSB, MR Gromril, MR Challenge, Ro Resistance-165
42 Warriors, GW, FC-445
15 Quarrallers, Rangers, GW, Mus-215

The High Elf Book

So instead of going on about stuff I really don't know about, I've had a read of the book once and to me it looks like a general improvement from the last one. But like I said instead of going on about stuff that I'm still not tuned to yet I thought I would just post some links of other blogs who have done a good job in explain the book its power level and etc.

1. http://www.thefieldsofblood.com/2013/05/high-elves-evidence-of-power-creep.html

2. http://thebrushofdoom.blogspot.co.nz/2013/05/i-guess-i-should-give-my-opinion-on-new.html

3. http://lkhero.blogspot.co.nz/2013/05/whfb-review-high-elves.html

But aside from the links, I really do like the new book, I really enjoyed reading the fluff, and I think the book will do well in an competitive environment. Also, as the saying has already been overused like a street girls mouth, I thought I'd be a bit different.... and add a meme instead!




*cough* The Dwarf book will be much better by far though *cough*

My current Evil Stunty list

So managed to get in some practice games with my CDs with some mates that came down from Wellington with their VC and Beastmen we all played 2 games each, I won both, but lets be honest, I'm not putting my skills on those wins, I just managed to get like 3 lucky Flames of Azgorth put on them and some well placed Ash Storms, and my K'daai just ran around all afternoon curb stomping 'erthing'. But the games I played with them were with a different list. I changed it because I in my opinion, and this is only my opinion, I think Bull Centures are just shit (some agree, some don't, I'm just might be shit at them seeing how I'm just discovering this called the "M..ovem..ent phase?" They have good sustain, with the 2+ and the T5 but with only 2 attacks, they do about fook all damage wise, even with a great weapon!. At 55pts a model (that's if you include Shield and GW) I expect to see 3 attacks. Forge World should errata them and just swap the Inv and attacks around and don't touch the point values. And, I the goblin block out this time around. And with those points gone I put in another Infernal Guard unit with a razor standard, plus some wolf riders for more coverage on the K'daai. And I tell you, two solid blocks really go's a long way. I did miss the 30 shots for chaff murdering though

On a completely off topic note though, saw the hobbit with a friend of mine on DVD dont know why I didn't watch in the theater. I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, read all the books and have watched the trilogy like 40 times, was the Hobbit was amazing, mainly for the fact I got to see a big ass Dwarf hold (Erabor - The Lonely Mountain) and I got to watch a dozen Dwarfs kick the shit out of a bazillion goblins, was great. The story was great and the effect were awesome, can not wait for part 2. MORE DWARFS PLEASE! One of my fav bits by the way was the echo song that went on, fantastic it was, check it out.
