Parties are almost over. Lots of parties with childhood friends, family, babies, birthdays, going aways… To come: adventuring parties and a birthday.
Haven’t gotten much done in the hobby department, but I’m teeming with ideas. I’ve picked up to starters of Infinity (PanOceana and Yu-Jing), a couple of Reaper Dark Haven miniatures (for RPG and just painting) and assembled a couple more Khador models. I still have the IFP to finish, but all they need are their shields (started last night) and grass on their bases.
Went to a SteamRoller 4 tournament and got 3 games in before I had to bail for a birthday party. Faced epic Krueger twice – won two games by scenario’s tie-breaker and lost one to assassination. It was well deserved. Epic Krueger played aggressively and put me against the wall. I had a great idea to assassinate Krueger (sitting on DEF21) by having my Behemoth throw his Gnarlhorn on top of him, and then walk in with my Fury’d Demo Korps under Butcher’s feat to finish the job. Unfortunately, the Behemoth missed his boosted power attack, so the Demo Korps went to wreck a WoldWarden instead.
On Krueger’s turn, he brought Butcher down to a single point of life! (eKrueger missed 2 of his 3 attacks – one was used to finish a Demo Korps and pump his STR/ARM by 2) If he couldn’t finish the job, Krueger would surely be dead. His Gnarlhorn swerved around the Behemoth to finish off the Butcher, but it was so close whether the Gnarlhorn would take a free strike from the Behemoth of not. I let him go free and basically gave him the game. I had to leave early anyways and it was a good tussle. WM is great that way – the dice can tumble any which way!!
