Where does one begin? This is my one hundredth (1ooth) blog post, a landmark. I thought about a fair bit and the first thing that came into my head was some kind of highlight show… not really enough of those over the past 100 entries. Listing achievements might make for a very short blog. I could also bore you with an overview of my gaming habits, but you don’t want to read my tear-stained words when I write about the moment Necrons got all this shiny new stuff just months after I sold mine.
But then it hit me. A 42 point Warmachine/Hordes event was held recently and I put my name down for it. The problem was, I didn’t know what to use for it. I did say I was going to give Retribution a rest while I got used to Skorne. My Gatormen force was mostly unassembled and my Trolls are require a couple of heavy warbeasts and a couple of units at least. So that was when the light bulb appeared above my head. I will start at the beginning!
In the beginning there was the word (maybe a few of them actually), and that word(s) was (were)… BURN YOU MOTHER%UCKING UNBELIEVERS, BURN!!!
It was time to go back to the very beginning of my WarmaHordes obsession and bring out High Exemplar Kreoss and the religious might of the Protectorate of Menoth. They were my first love when I was tempted away from GW games. Not being religious myself, it was great to immerse myself in their zeal and conviction. The idea of setting stuff on fire it didn’t believe in Menoth tickled me immensely. What I like most about them is that they get stronger when they suffer.
It was really quite refreshing, to field a full army of Exemplars at the recent event that was organised by our beloved Vish. It was held at Dark sphere which was also refreshing, and yet cosy at the same time. The really great thing about it was meeting and playing against a totally new crowd. We were supposed to play a total of five games but it didn’t quite work out that way so we only managed four.
I had been on a break from gaming during November due to me spending my time taking up the NaNoWriMo challenge which has now completed, but took time out on Sunday 20th to get my game face on. As I have mentioned, it was a different venue with a different crowd which made it a really exciting even. I know that some of us Cross Gaming Club guys were mostly facing other CGC guys, but I seemed to be drawn against non-CGC guys in all four rounds. This made games a little more challenging as I didn’t know any of my opponent’s tricks. It was also nice coming up against a couple of new casters.
So to kick off the sort of write up, I’ll begin with Round 1 in the next post. And as this is the 100th post, I’ll end it with a bang. ***SPOLIER ALERT*** I won the first game, thus ending a twenty game losing streak. ***SPOILER ENDS***
