Best Christmas present ever!

I've been painting since about 1998, traditionally a lot of 40k stuff but lately I've been doing a lot of work with Fantasy and the odd little side project here and there. I don't game as much as I'd like, and I don't paint as much as I'd like either... but I make up for this by purchasing way more models than I ought to!

I make an effort to try new things once in a while, and every once in a while I'll actually finish something. My current project is the Warriors of Chaos, it's an attempt at doing a 2,000pt army in under 6 weeks for the Fracas tournament here in Edmonton. A $100 ticket should give me motivation to get my army done on time, I would love some tournament trophies to add to my painting awards :-) After that, who knows what I'll be up to!

Rejoicing in Athel Loren

Woohoo, first game of the campaign is a massacre for the Wood Elves! I had to fight Bretonians too, which was making me nervous. In the end, my feint on the right flank with the Wardancers bought me enough time to whittle down the two units of Knights with my Glade Guard archers.

In the end the key to victory was stalling him as long as possible. I held him at arm's length for a while and eventually my Wardancers got a chance to get into combat. They soaked a charge admirably using the 4+ Ward dance, and then kicked in the killing blow next turn when they were striking first. After the Knights of the Realm and their Paladin were gone, then they mopped up the Knights Errant that butchered my archers on the far flank. The peasants ran away untouched and my Wardancers dragged home three banners and the heads of two overzealous Bretonian characters. That'll teach them to stay off the grass!

In two weeks, my Wood Elves will be back in action, and the games will be 700 points this time. Could be interesting. I'm tied for 2nd at the moment, but that won't last long with 17 people in the campaign.
