Borka, Vengeance of the Rimeshaws is actually very cool. He doesn’t have a lot of spells to cast, but he doesn’t want them. He’d rather smash things.

Painting the Hearthgut Hooch Hauler
I thought I had posted this walkthrough of my Hooch Hauler being painted, but I guess I forgot!
Continue reading...The Problematic Highwaymen
The main problem lies in pushing the Highwaymen through enemy lines. To benefit from backstab, they must remain within 9 inches of Braylen. Most people try to keep Braylen with the unit, but she often falls prey to an AOE or some singular attack to remove her threat from the table.

I’ve been messing with Storm of the North with Borka 1 and Borka 2, and a few other warlocks. Dessa finally picked up Bennet for Crucible...

Would you attempt a kitbash? Would you allow it as a tournament organizer or judge?

About a month ago, I had my first game in public. That’s right, outside the house, in an actual local game shop. After two long plague-years,...

Crucible Guard can’t do much to the trolls when they have to drop a die of damage, even if they gain an extra two to their effective POW with the Vindicators. Syvestro, for his part, slinks behind his Vindicator, trying to evade the Mauler.
